The mode keeps many of the previous concepts and freshens up the game with new additions and ideas. The storyline continues from the previous game and although new characters are introduced the previous characters make appearances and are playable in some maps.

The beloved “Zombies” mode from Call of Duty: World At War and Call of Duty: Black Ops has made a return and follows a new set of characters as they traverse a ruined world infested with zombies.

The changes made were welcomed by most of the fan base as it allowed for fresh and more diverse gameplay. This change allows players to be rewarded for team play rather than kills. New to the franchise was the change made to killstreaks, now known as scorestreaks meaning rewards are given based on a points system not just kills. The mode allows players to be matched against opponents of a similar ability to play following Major League Gaming rules. Black Ops 2 is also the first game to include a competitive mode known as league play. The game features some of the best multiplayer maps with layouts allowing for various playstyles and strategies. The new 10-point system allows the player to use 10 points towards whatever they like, whether its gun attachments, perks, or equipment. While most of the game modes from Black Ops 1 carried over and remained the same the equipment loadout has been redesigned to give the player more freedom. It is the first Call of Duty set in the future, with futuristic weapons, gadgets, and environments. The Multiplayer mode is considered as one of the best in the franchise. Each level provides a unique experience with gripping visual, great performances and constant action. Overall, the campaign received a much-needed reimagining adding to the experience of the game, also giving increased replay value. The custom loadout allowed the player to decide how to approach a mission giving more freedom. The game features multiple endings which depended on the choices made throughout the game as well as the results of the strike force missions. The strike force missions were “sudden death” missions that would alter the progress of the game, they could not be replayed once completed (or failed), adding a uniqueness, adding replayability to the story mode.
