Call of Duty: Black Ops II

Call of Duty: Black Ops II is a 2012 first-person shooter video game, developed by Treyarch and published by Activision (Square Enix for Japan). It was released on November 13, 2012 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 and on November 18, 2012 in North America, November 30, 2012 in Europe and Australia for the Wii U. 

Gameplay

Multiplayer:

What would Call of Duty be these days without Online Multiplayer? Online Multiplayer returns with all your favorite Playlists to play while leveling up through the 55 Ranks and 11 Prestiges. Like the last few iterations, 2-player split-screen is available for Online Multiplayer, but Free-For-All and Hardcore Free-For-All cannot be played on Split Screen. Party games are allowed (One in the Chamber, etc) even though they are free for all type games.

Create A Class has been overhauled with a new "Pick 10 System" for even more customization, and a strong eSports presence is being used to share and stream matches to everyone!

Zombies:

Treyarch has confirmed that the Zombies mode will return for Black Ops II with new game modes. Its predecessors were Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty: Black Ops. This is the third time for the Zombies mode to appear in a Call of Duty game, and the first time to have game modes other than the traditional Survival mode. Treyarch has also confirmed that Zombies will run on the game's multiplayer engine, allowing for a deeper community experience, along with new features. A new, 8 player co-op game called "Grief" is also supported, featuring 2 teams of 4 players competing to survive, unlike Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty: Black Ops, which only supported 4 player online co-op. As with the previous game, each map contains "Easter eggs" side quests, which is used to progress the story.

Story :

In Cold War-era Nevada, a team of CDC operatives investigate a nuclear testing site known as "Nuketown", where they are attacked by zombies. Dr. Edward Richtofen is heard via a television, carrying out his scheme on the Moon. Richtofen seizes control of the zombies by entering the Aether, but Dr. Ludvig Maxis works with his daughter Samantha and Richtofen's former allies, Tank Dempsey, Nikolai Belinski, and Takeo Masaki to thwart him. To this end, Maxis launches three massive nuclear missiles filled with Element 115, the element responsible for the reanimation of dead cells, at the Earth, destroying it. One missile completely destroys Nuketown and all present.

Sales:

Hirshberg said more than 2.5 million people queued at 16,000 shops at midnight on Monday to buy Black Ops II, "making it the largest retail release in Activision's history and in the industry's history".

Black Ops II went on to gross $1 billion in the first 15 days of availability, beating Modern Warfare 3's record of the first 16 days.
