6. Gameplay
Black Ops II is the first Call of Duty video game to feature branching
storylines, in which the player's choice affects both the current
mission and in turn, the overall course of the story. Known as "Strike
Force missions", these branching storylines appear during the 2025
storyline and feature permanent death. The success or failure of
these missions can have ramifications for the wider campaign
storyline. Choosing one of the missions locks out the others unless
the player begins a fresh campaign.[
Strike Force missions allow the player to control a number of different
war assets, such as unmanned aerial vehicles, jet fighters and robots.
If the player dies in a Strike Force mission, the campaign continues
recording that loss, as opposed to letting the player load a previously
saved checkpoint. The player's progress in the Strike Force missions
may go on to change even the plans of the story's antagonist, Raul
Menendez. By the end of the game, the player may have changed the
results of the new Cold War, and the player is shown what could have
gone differently.

The first map featured in the game, "Green Run", introduces four new characters:
Samuel Stuhlinger (voiced by David Boat), Marlton Johnson (voiced by Scott
Menville), Abigail "Misty" Briarton (voiced by Stephanie Lemelin) and Russman
(voiced by Keith Szarabajka).
The map is set in an abandoned town in Washington, USA. Dr. Edward Richtofen
(voiced by Nolan North), the antagonist of Zombies and one of the previous
playable characters from the previous game, returns as the announcer.
Another returning character is Dr. Ludvig Maxis (voiced by Fred Tatasciore), who
instructs the new group to help him defeat Richtofen. Stuhlinger, meanwhile, is the
only one who can hear Richtofen, and therefore is ordered to help him instead of
helping Maxis. Players can choose whether to help Maxis or Richtofen, which will
have different results once the story ends.
There are 4 sections to play on "Green Run": Bus Depot, Town, and Farm. Diner is
also available as part of the Revolution DLC pack. Each section has a different
mode.
The Bus Depot features a Survival mode and TranZit, which acts as a story mode
that plays throughout the entire map. Town and Farm both have Survival and Grief
modes.
8. Story
• The single-player campaign features two connected storylines, with
the first set from 1986 to 1989 during the final years of the
first Cold War, and the other set in 2025 during a second Cold War.
The protagonist of Black Ops, Alex Mason returns as the protagonist
in the first Cold War section, and chronicles the rise to infamy of the
game's primary antagonist, Raul Menendez, a Nicaraguannarcoterrorist and the leader of "Cordis Die", a populist movement
celebrated as the champion of victims of economic inequality.
• The 2025 section of the game features Alex Mason's son David as
the protagonist, in which Menendez is plotting against the United
States and China with one of his ultimate goals being to see the
United States locked in a new Cold War with China, in revenge for
many of his misfortunes. In this era, wars are defined
by robotics, cyber warfare, unmanned vehicles, and other futuristic
technology.
9. Plot
• In the year 2025, US Special Forces operatives led
by David Mason and his partner, Harper, arrive at
"the Vault", a top-security location home to an
elderly Frank Woods, whom they suspect possess
vital information on the whereabouts of Raul
Menendez. Woods concedes that Menendez has
recently visited him, and shows them a locket
that the latter had left behind. Frank then
narrates several covert missions undertaken
during his military career which span their
previous encounters.
