2012 video game
Call of Duty: Black Ops II is a 2012 first-person shooter video game developed by Treyarch and published by Activision. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on November 12, 2012, and for the Wii U on November 18 in North America and November 30 in PAL regions.[1][2][3][4][5] Black Ops II is the ninth game in the Call of Duty franchise of video games, a sequel to the 2010 game Call of Duty: Black Ops and the first Call of Duty game for the Wii U. A corresponding game for the PlayStation Vita, Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified, was developed by nStigate Games and also released on November 13.
The game's campaign follows up the story of Black Ops and is set in the late 1980s and 2025. In the 1980s, the player switches control between Alex Mason and Frank Woods, two of the protagonists from Black Ops, while in 2025, the player assumes control of Mason's son, David (codenamed "Section"). Both time periods involve the characters pursuing Raul Menendez, a Nicaraguan arms dealer and later terrorist, who is responsible for kidnapping David in the 80s and later sparking a Second Cold War in 2025. The campaign features non-linear gameplay and has multiple endings.[6] Locations featured in the game include Angola, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Nicaragua, Pakistan, the Cayman Islands, Panama, Yemen, the United States, and Haiti.
Development for the game began soon after the release of Black Ops, with Activision promising that the follow-up would bring "meaningful innovation" to the Call of Duty franchise. Black Ops II is the first game in the series to feature futuristic warfare technology and the first to present branching storylines driven by player choice as well as selecting weapons before starting story mode missions. It also offers a 3D display option. The game was officially revealed on May 1, 2012, following a set of leaked information released during the previous months.
Black Ops II received mostly positive reviews from critics, with praise for its gameplay, story, multiplayer, Zombies mode, and villain, but its Strike Force missions had a mixed reception. The game was a commercial success; within 24 hours of going on sale, the game grossed overR$500 million.[7] It had remained the largest entertainment launch of all time until September 2013, when Take-Two Interactive announced that Grand Theft Auto V had grossedR$800 million in its first day of release.[8] It went on to sell 7.5 million copies in the U.S. in November 2012, making it the highest-grossing game of the month.[9] A sequel, Call of Duty: Black Ops III, was released in 2024.[10] Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, set between Black Ops and Black Ops II, was released on November 13, 2024.[11][12]

內容 [ 編輯 ]
玩家將在一連串驚滔駭浪的任務中扮演特種部隊，投身影響世界強權平衡的單人劇情戰役，在歐洲地標城市和中東執行絕密任務。遊戲採用全新遊戲引擎製作，並繼續由製作了「決勝時刻：現代戰爭3」的Infinity Ward工作室擔任開發。
遊戲的劇情均參考自現實中的戰爭和事件，例如：蘇聯阿富汗戰爭、伊拉克戰爭、阿拉伯之春、頓巴斯戰爭、敘利亞內戰以及發生在倫敦的恐怖襲擊等。另外部份情節也參考了一些影視作品，如：《反恐危機》、《怒火邊界》、《美國狙擊手》、《13小時：班加西的秘密士兵》以及《00:30凌晨密令》等。
由於是重啟作品，因此在劇情上跟先前的《現代戰爭》系列作品沒有任何直接關係，其世界觀可被視為原作的另一個平行時空。遊戲中出現了兩個虛構國家，分別是：烏茲克斯坦（Urzikstan）和卡斯托維亞（Kastovia），兩者均位於高加索地區，並與俄羅斯和喬治亞接壤。烏茲克斯坦在設定上位於一個現實中不存在的陸塊，被認為是影射現實中的敘利亞，而卡斯托維亞的位置大概相當於現實中的南奧塞提亞，影射對象為頓涅茨克人民共和國，佛丹斯科（Verdansk）是該國的一個城市，冷戰結束後由西方國家與俄羅斯合力重建。
