Price History

This first person shooter, the ninth game in this popular franchise, is a direct sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops. Part of the campaign takes place in the 80s (with the return of Frank Woods and Alex Mason) but most of the story is concerned with you (as Alex Masons son, David) carrying out your dangerous mission in the midst of a terrifying fictional futuristic (21st century) Cold War.

Accompanying the main campaign in are branching storylines (Strike Force missions) and how you fare during these missions will affect the main campaign. Decisions you make during flashbacks to the past, will also have an impact on the outcome of your future 21st century game, and will alter circumstances each time you play. You may even be able to influence the unsettling plans of the game's main sinister villain Raul Menendez who attempts to gain control of the US military from within.

You must find a way to stop Menendez. You must take on your dangerous, classified missions and as a covert operative you must employ any cutting edge, futuristic weaponry, robotics or technology that becomes available to you to try to eliminate the threat, retrieve the power and control and save the world. At the end of the game you will get the opportunity to see how things could have been different if you had followed another route.

There is a new multiplayer mode (that rewards good teamwork) set in the 2025 scenario and this mode includes a range of new features. Additionally, Zombies co-op mode has also returned along with a variety of new maps and special missions.
