    If you haven't seen the trailer cinematic of the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 I suggest you after reading this new technology news. I've seen it, and I have to say it's a definite addition for first person shooter fans. Following the success of 2010 blockbuster Black Ops, this follows as a sequel and continues the story while controlling David Mason, the son of Alex of Black Ops.

    This latest addition is due out for PC, XBOX 360, and Playstation 3 format and has a tentative release date of November 13. That's quite a long wait, but will all expect it to be another hit and would have the same success, if not more, just like the Modern Warfare series and the first Black Ops.

    But aside from the stereotype of heavy artillery, bomb explosions, and combat tactics the Black Ops 2 will serve new things to the table. First, about one-third of the game will be set in the 80's and will eventually move forward to the not so distant future 2025 when David Mason becomes the games protagonist.

    During this time, China holds the world's largest economy in this plausible future with the control of 95% of the all the earth's rare elements. And with the advance technologies come with the high tech gears in weaponry; robots, gyrocopters, and a set of heavy machine guns.

    But Activision, the brains behind this successful game, has pointed out that Black Ops 2's black future world is rooted from real military research and real technology. The company even hired a few retired military veterans and the author of NY's bestseller "Wired of War" for this project.

    A snippet about the game, as reported, is the new single-player campaign that defies and deviates from the norm. It features a branching storyline that will be based on the players' actions in-game. Also, losing a mission doesn't end it and requires a restart. But it would spin the outcome bringing you down on a different path. It may be just the same as the Mass Effect series, but who would care? All we want is a good old shooting, banging, and we also would want a non-conventional game to try. It's about time we get something new.

    Although details about the gameplay remain to be a secret kept by the game's developers, our imaginations will surely bring us to the weirdest things that we can come up with. But a few months later, we'll all surely get the chance to see what it would look like.
