It's almost here!....

Oh my goodness! There is only one day left to the release of Black Ops 2 and I am so excited! Normally when these games are coming out I am really excited for the campaign (story mode) but know that the multiplayer is better and will last longer, plus they spend a lot more time on it so naturally it should be better. However, this time around they have spent so much time on the campaign as well to make it more in depth so that it too will take many hours to complete.

In Black Ops 2 there is technically two storylines to complete; one based in the 70's and the 80's following the unseen missions during the Cold War, while the second storyline focuses on an apocalyptic war in the near future; the year 2025. Not only are there two storylines, but for the first time ever we will see a Call of Duty game with branching storylines. This means that your decisions and the choices you make in the game will have different consequences then others, sort of a cause and effect impact that can change the course of the story and the end result.

The part of the game, however, that I think I am most looking forward to would have to be the Zombies mode. In comparison to the last two, this one seems like it is going to be a lot better and I am super excited for it! There are more maps first of all and this time there will be one map where you start off in one small area and then travel by a city bus to the next; visiting about five or six areas in total as the game play gets increasingly harder and the levels go up. The most interesting part of this map though is that while on the bus traveling to the next location (which lasts one round), you are in the very limited space of a city bus and still being attacked by a horde of zombies. You'd better watch out, as they will cling to your bus to try and get in to eat your brains out! The funny part is that there is a hole in the roof of the bus where you can climb out onto the roof and use your weapons to tear apart the zombies as they try to hop on. We are not sure exactly what the new "super weapon" is, but from the zombie’s trailer it seems to be some kind of air rocket that launches a huge pulse, tearing apart any zombies in its path! That, I'm excited to use!!

The great thing is, I only have one more day to wait for this game but it's funny that even that feels to long! Sadly I won't be able to play it too much this week but the great thing is I have a day off on Friday, so I'll be able to play it all day if I want to! This will be a nice break from the absolute chaos of my grade twelve year and also a really wonderful reward for completing the first term of semester one!
