What Has Treyarch Done For Call Of Duty? Lt Col Oliver North is a polarising figure in American history and, we found out, earlier this month, an advisor on the next huge Call of Duty game, Black Ops II. North isn’t your average video game consultant. He was one of the main actors in the Iran-Contra scandal that wracked America in the ’80s.
In the futuristic 2025 setting of Call of Duty: Black Ops II, the United States has become locked in a second Cold War with China due largely to a shortage of rare earth elements, which are vital in the creation of a lot of the technology and advanced military hardware we use today.
Last week, I headed down to visit with Treyarch in Santa Monica to get an extended look at Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Our visit was entirely hands-off, and consisted mostly of a series of in-game demos of missions from the single-player campaign, as well as a new open-ended single-player mode called “Strike Force.” The in-game missions were mostly set during a drone attack of Los Angeles, but we caught a few glimpses of other sections, as well.
So, how about that Black Ops II trailer? Pretty explosive stuff. Now that you know more about the game itself, I thought it might be fun to go through some image-grabs from the trailer, just to tell you what I’m seeing there and how it lines up with that I saw of the game last week.
