Call of Duty: Black Ops II

Black Ops II takes place in the future 2025 Story line was actually good. Yes zombies are back, all-new Zombies experience running in the multiplayer engine. Even though Activision took a lot of heat for puling the Nuketown 2025 map (The multiplayer map, which was included as a pre-order bonus as well as in the Hardened and Care Package special editions of the game) which people paid extra for. The game still was a best seller and actually enjoyable to play.
