In the future era, Alex's son and Navy SEAL operative David 'Section' Mason have to face Menedez as he now commands a global populist movement known as Cordis Die, which seeks to topple the world order so Menendez can extract his revenge on the United States. The past era has CIA operative Alex Mason continuing his top-secret work for the United States, and witnessing the actions of the CIA inadvertently creating the powerful terrorist leader Raul Menendez. The singleplayer story continues from Call of Duty: Black Ops and is set over two time periods, the final years of the Cold War from 1986 to 1989, and the technologically advanced future of 2025, during a Second Cold War between the United States and China. The game features a singleplayer campaign, a multiplayer mode, and a co-op zombie mode. Developed by Treyarch, with assistance from Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software, it was published by Activision in 2012 for the PC, PS3, Wii U and Xbox 360.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II (also known as CoD:Blops 2) is the ninth installment in the Call of Duty series, and the third main entry in the Black Ops sub-franchise (the first being World at War).
