The narrative reflections of the elderly Frank Woods (a protagonist from Black Ops) weave these two timelines together, but the character that truly drives the story is the villain, Raul Menendez. You jump between two time periods: the present, which is the year 2025, and the past, which spans about a decade during the Cold War. It features the lead characters from the original Call of Duty: Black Ops, and though it references events from the past, a clear narrative thread emerges that is easy to follow. Later cutscenes don't flinch from depicting gory violence, though of all the unpleasant sights you see throughout the story, the playful (and not at all gory) post-credits video might be the most appalling.įortunately, the campaign boasts an engaging story and a lot of entertaining action. Two early scenes linger on people burning alive, and while one ends up contributing to character development, the other is just gratuitous. The ride starts off a bit rough as Black Ops II makes good on its pre-campaign warning of graphic content.
