Amazon reports the game, which was just announced this week, is on track to become the most per-ordered game in its history, outpacing Modern Warfare 2, Black Ops and…um, well, a bunch of other Call of Duty games.
Black Ops 1 star Alex Mason also returns to battle Melendez in the 1980s, with the game spanning the entire four decades.
This week's revelation introduced a world 25 years into the future, where David Mason the son of the original protagonist, will battle a new foe in terrorist Raul Melendez.Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, developed by the Treyarch studio, was revealed this week along with the first trailer (below) and details of the plot, game play, weapons and more.Those are numbers for Amazon's US branch, but the appeal looks to be global. Amazon UK says per-orders for Black Ops 2 were three times higher than the original game.
That could give a nice boost to the series, which some feared had shown early signs of reaching a sales peak.It was, after all, the decision to move Call of Duty out of the World War II era and into modern times that kicked the series into overdrive and helped it become the phenomenon it is today.
The new installment in the franchise will send players into future.While one-third of the game takes place in the 80s, the rest is set in 2025, with a focus on advanced robotic warfare. Activations, though, notes that the game remains firmly rooted in real military research and technology.
To keep the franchise going strong, Activations also plans to offer a branching storyline based on player actions and to tweak the game's popular multilayer components, though it's keeping details about those changes under wraps right now.
"Instead of just extending multilayer from Black Ops, we thought critically about what cows are sacred. Do we keep something just because it worked last time?" said Game Design Director David Underhanded. "Some people play to become pro, others only load it up casually once or twice a week. Our multilayer won't be 'one game mode' anymore."
