Get out the salt shakers. Moments ago our official twitter account was tipped off by a reader claiming to have info about Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. At first glance I thought it was more of the same fan made wish lists that have been popping up almost every day. Upon further inspection however, I realized that it was much more than that with some of it so detailed that it’s hard to think that it isn’t genuine.
Now be warned, because if this leak is legit, the info that it contains is loaded with spoilers. With that said, read at your own risk.
Thanks Johann!
“Here is some leaked Black Ops 2 information from an industry contact at Activision. Although he is just an associate producer, he has been telling me all about the game. This information is 100% correct, and verified, and I will not reveal my friend’s name. He doesn’t even know I am posting this. I will provide no other details, as I do not know anything more than this, so please do not ask.
This is just to get fans more excited about the game and to give some release to fans that have been waiting patiently. If you are a fan and want to know more about the game, continue reading. If not, there are MAJOR SPOILER ALERTS below. Have fun.
Single Player:
Story
The story revolves two things. First around Frank woods as an old man talking about his missions with Alex Mason, giving tips on how to defeat Raul Menendez which you flash back to and are able to play. Other part of the story involves Raul Menendez, a terrorist that eventually controls the worlds drone army, starting a world war. Menendez has presence in the flashback missions as well, showing how he rose to power over the years.
Although there is spoilers here, I will not reveal the ending, which sounds pretty damn good from what I heard.
As said in interviews, some of your actions dictate how the game plays out.
Single player has perks, and special ones are ones such as brute force. What this means is through a single player level there are certain areas of the game you can only access if have this perk. This will allow you to break a lock and get special grenades or extra guns for example.
Diving to prone is back.
Nuketown will be back in a futuristic setting.
DLC will be in map packs, unlike MW3.
Locations:
Afghanistan -The level that shows players riding horses in the trailer. This is a flashback mission. Meet up with Chinese soldiers to meet at a Mujahideen base, who are willing to exchange info on Menendez in exchange from helping defend them against a Russian attack. The Mujahideen betray Mason and Woods at the end of the mission.
Angola – No information given. Rumored to be the first mission.
Panama – Mission name “Let it snow”. Flashback mission. Takes place in 1989 in the invasion of Panama. Capture dictator Manuel Noriega and plant false evidence to smear his name. Mission ends with the death of Mason. Woods thinks he is assassinating Menendez, but after he shoots and checks the body, it is revealed he actually just killed Mason. Woods is shot and Manuel Noriega escapes. Woods is then rescued.
Haiti – Possible final level and/or strike force mission.
Pakistan – No information given. However, speculation about this being a future mission, recording Menendez’s conversation, driving a car, and flying a helicopter.
Al Jinan – A floating city in the middle of the ocean. Obtain information on a weapon calledc“Karma”. Go undercover as technicians and even user a remote controlled spider robot to control through vents to gain access to areas of the level. It is revealed that “Karma” is not a weapon, and is in fact a girl. Fight through a nightclub full of people and
an outdoor mall. At the end is a choice that will effect later on in the game. Karma is taken captive by enemies and you must stop her from escaping. Use a sniper rifle to either kill or disable her.
U.S.S. Barack Obama – An aircraft carrier. Menendez is held captive. While he is being interviewed, Menendez escapes while the Cordis Die group attacks. Near the end of the mission, player is able to actually play as Menendez, taking hostages, then escape while shooting gas grenades with a launcher.
Singapore (Strikeforce mission) – No information. Gameplay demos online show this level better than the info I had available.
Yemen(Strikeforce mission) – No information
Yemen (Non strikeforce, regular mission) – Play as Fahrid, an undercover informant. This mission contains a choice that can effect the rest of the story. Harper is taken captive and Mendez gives you a gun and tell you to shoot him. You can either choose to shoot and kill Harper to maintain your cover, or to shoot Menendez. If player chooses to shoot Menendez, he will grab your gun then shoot the player. Player then plays as Mason. In either decision, Mendez is captured at the end of the mission.
Nicaragua – Flashback mission with Woods and Mason.
Myanmar – Obtain a rare earth element from an enemy base. Start the mission in a squirrel suit flying through a rainy landscape.
Los Angeles – Shown in the E3 demo. Highlights include flying a jet and driving a truck.
Multiplayer :fechten:
You can now make a class based on how much equipment you have, rather than having to choose stuff you don’t ever use. For example, it is possible to have 6 perks if you choose to not carry a primary or secondary weapon (you will have just a knife). If you choose to pick a primary gun, it will say you need to replace one of those perks. If you don’t like any perks, you can add more features to your primary or secondary.
Live Streaming :keks:– Black Ops 2 will now have a live streaming feature built right in. You can automatically stream your gameplay over the internet easily. You would require a camera though for the feature that shows your face. This may or may not work with Kinect.
Dedicated servers – Black ops 2 will now feature deticated servers, so now you wont have to worry about host migrations when someone leaves the match.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
