Further Stuff to Read

Campaign Information
The majority of the campaign likely takes place in a futuristic setting, more specifically in the year 2025. The reveal trailer showed a very mechanical warfare where "technology got stronger, but we got weaker"

"What happens when the enemy steals the keys?"

The trailer describes the enemy turning the American military technology against their own.

The campaign will feature two time periods, the main one is the aforementioned 2025, and the other one will be set in the 80's near the end of the Cold War.
The campaign will have two protagonists, Alex Mason will be a controllable character during the 80's period, and his son David Mason will be the main character during the 2025 period. The presumed KIA soldier, Frank Woods will be the campaign narrator.

The villain will be a man named Raul Menendez, who in 2025 is pitting the Chinese and US governments against each other by hacking into their drones and other robotic weapons.
Raul Menendez will appear in both time periods.

In addition to the usual playthrough, Treyarch have juiced up the campaign with additional Strike Force missions, opting for a more non-linear playthrough.

Multiplayer Information

Create-A-Class

Create-A-Class in Black Ops 2 will be built around a 10 point allocation system.
Every player is granted 10 allocation points, and each item is worth a set, depending on their usefulness. A primary weapon would possibly be worth from 3-5 allocation points, while a perk could be worth 1-2 points.
Certain elements of your class can be sacrificed for something else. Not feeling like carrying around a frag grenade? Use your leftover point for a weapon attachment instead.
