Pushing the boundaries of what fans have come to expect from the record-setting entertainment franchise, Call of Duty®: Black Ops II propels players into a near future Cold War
Developed by Treyarch · Published by Activision
Set in a 21st-century Cold War shaped by advanced weapons and technology, Black Ops II puts you in the middle of a conflict through a single-player campaign and several combat modes.
The campaign follows a story told through combat missions. Choices can affect its outcomes, and some missions let you select weapons and take on side operations that influence the conflict.
Online multiplayer centers on team-based first-person combat, while Zombies offers cooperative survival across themed maps. Challenges and unlockable items provide additional progression.
Players often praise the campaign’s story and choices, the Zombies mode, and the multiplayer’s combat, with nostalgia also shaping many positive accounts. Many reviews also raise concerns about the asking price and the safety or availability of PC multiplayer; some say it is difficult to find matches.
