Pushing the boundaries of what fans have come to expect from the record-setting entertainment franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops II propels players into a near future, 21st Century Cold War, where technology and weapons have converged to create a new generation of warfare.

Most of the Western Front locations presented in the first two Call of Duty games and the more recent Call of Duty: WWII are quite accurate, especially France. The names of the towns, villages, and even the operations are well-researched (as they should be) and even recreated with decent attention to detail.
