Call of Duty – it's always the same. That's the familiar lament on gamesforums whenever a new instalment is revealed, though it may have to be tempered somewhat if news coming from Black Ops 2 developer Treyarch is to be believed. Activision has now officially announced the title as well as its global launch date: 13 November. But its the details emerging from a recent demo to the specialst games press that will prove much more interesting right now.
Set mostly in 2025 (with a few flashback missions to the eighties), Black Ops II revolves around a new Cold War between the US and China. The two super powers are fighting it out over access to rare earth minerals – vital components in modern technogical necessities like mobile phones – and tensions are mounting.
Meanwhile, a terrorist group led by mysterious antagonist Menendez has managed to hack into America's defense network, taking control of its now vast drone army. Suddenly all those remote control aircraft and formidably armed robot walkers are attacking major US cities – the only hope lies with a hopelessly archaic weapon: human soldiers.
