![]() Needless to say, Black Ops 2 needed to step out from big brother's shadow - try to differentiate itself from the pack-within-the-pack, and more importantly deliver another worthy entry in the flagship franchise. It also may be the last Call of Duty game that has some semblance of continuity - one that features recognizable characters and continues an ongoing plot. ![]() The game itself is touted as a follow-up to the Alex Mason and Frank Woods adventures of the first game, but it is also much more than that - this is the first Call of Duty to be set (partially) in the future. However, now that gamers have been given a taste of what Treyarch can cook up when given the reigns to Activision's prized franchise, and carte blanche to tell their own story, that puts significant more weight on their subsequent iteration: Black Ops 2. Up until that point, Treyarch had been the neglected stepchild to Infinity Ward's beloved A+ all-star - who was enjoying the spoils of a modern war. ![]() Black Ops was the first Treyarch-developed Call of Duty title that really made a statement of its own.
