Call of Duty: Black Ops II delivers the most groundbreaking and visceral Call of Duty experience ever. Set in the year 2025, Call of Duty: Black Ops II propels players into global conflict featuring advanced weaponry, robotics, and drone warfare in a new Cold War scenario whose seeds are being sown in today’s headlines. New graphics technology drives the stunning cinematic action of the single-player campaign’s branching storylines and non-linear missions.
“Hands down, this is the most ambitious Call of Duty ever,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. “We are bringing disruptive innovation to the franchise and we are doing it on several fronts. We’re pushing the boundaries technologically, graphically, and from a narrative and gameplay perspective. At the same time, we need to stay true to the epic realism, authenticity, heart pumping adrenaline, and cinematic action that so many people love and expect from a Call of Duty game. Treyarch’s vision for Call of Duty: Black Ops II will redefine the Call of Duty franchise for the future–both literally and figuratively.”
“With Call of Duty: Black Ops II, the team is crafting an experience that Call of Duty fans have never seen before,” said Mark Lamia, Studio Head for Treyarch. “We are challenging assumptions on every front, with the single player campaign, Zombies and multiplayer. In the campaign, we are creating a thought-provoking story that introduces branching storylines and meaningful choices that impact the narrative. Running in the multiplayer engine for the first time, Zombies gives players a bigger and more diverse set of gameplay experiences, as well as entirely new ways to wage war with the undead. And in multiplayer, we’re embracing all skill levels and play styles to give players more ways to engage. With Call of Duty: Black Ops II, we’re all in and we won’t rest until we’ve launched nothing less than the best Call of Duty we’ve ever made.”
On November 13th award-winning developer Treyarch and Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc., will deploy the sequel to the universally acclaimed Call of Duty: Black Ops, which following its launch in 2010 set the record for the biggest entertainment launch in history. Call of Duty: Black Ops II has not yet been rated.

The trailer itelsf is pretty awesome, and I enjoy the idea of running around guns blazing in some Terminator type environment. My only gripe is that it’s probably going to be the same garbage we’ve been fed time after time. Nothing will be new aside from weapons, attachments, and gadgets. Physics will be the same, story line will be great, but over all gameplay will stay about the same, and multiplayer will be the same garbage it’s always been. Now hear me out on that. The multiplayer has always been fun (why fix what isn’t broken right?). However, the matchmaking system is utter garbage, the host choosing algorithms are junk (can’t explain how many times I’ve been in a very laggy room, been disconnected from stupid problems with the host or the host dashboarding, or whats worse is being bogged down because IM HOST. My network isn’t good at all for hosting, and yet every time (without fail) I get picked for host. It’s annoying, aggravating, and not helping anybody in the game). If they could fix the stuff people complain about, then I’d be excited. However, after several releases of different versions, I’m fully convinced Treyarch is incapable of that. I probably won’t pick it up unless I see solid commenter reviews down the line.
