NOTE: IF YOU'RE PLAYING THROUGH ON VETERAN, MAKE SURE TO PLAY THE STRIKE FORCE MISSIONS AS SOON AS YOU CAN. It may be recommended for you to search the loadout you prefer most, but things like Target Finder, the Storm PSR and the Toughness perk will always come in handy. Also, after you have finished the campaign once you will have more choices in weapons to use. When playing through on Veteran difficulty, you can simply choose to replay a mission and put the difficulty on Veteran. After you tackle the challenge, collected all the intel and make some of the game altering decisions, play through on Veteran difficulty for the last remaining achievements. I suggest playing through the missions on Recruit difficulty to ensure you can complete all mission challenges. The campaign will more than likely require 2 playthroughs to complete all achievements. You will play missions that happened in the 1980s along with futuristic missions from 2025.

The story of Black Ops II incorporates some of the main characters from Black Ops I along with incorporating some from the previous (Treyarch) game in its storyline.
