GamerNode Senior Editor Mike Murphy writes: "Everyone had the opportunity to witness the first of Call of Duty: Black Ops II’s two E3 demos when it closed out Microsoft’s media briefing. Another US city, Los Angeles, is lit ablaze as David Mason tries desperately to protect the President from assassination by drone invasion. However, it’s not the Michael-Bay-like explosions and set pieces that were the most intriguing part of the latest Call of Duty title at the big show. In a new twist on traditional franchise combat, Black Ops II will feature a single-player game mode known as Strike Force missions that combine the series’ classic first-person shooter action with that of a real-time strategy game."
