HMV’s Category Manager for Games, Andy Pinder, comments: “I am a huge fan of Call of Duty, so on a personal level I am really excited and can’t wait for it to come out.  I hear the new perks are great and I’m particularly looking forward to seeing what they’ll be like.  This is undoubtedly the games release of the year, which is great news not just for fans but retailers alike as we head into Christmas.”
 
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. With new futuristic weapons, the chance to master a number of different vehicles and modes of transport, and a mysterious villain known simply as Raul Menendez, Call of Duty: Black Ops II is set to be the must-have games release this Xmas.

The non-linear storyline will allow players to battle in a futuristic conflict, as well as tackling flashbacks from historical missions and playing the role of various members of the featured Mason family. Every decision made during this interactive story will affect future consequences, giving you a uniquely different experience every time you play.

Alongside the epic ‘campaign and branching’ story is the all-new Multiplayer mode, which incorporates new maps, new game-styles, e-sports and new perks to make this the most engaging Multiplayer title yet.
