Gameplay
"My opinion for Call of Duty: Dark War are, it's going to be great. I really like the first one because not like the other CoDs, Dark War series is focused to the singleplayer and multiplayer, not just the multiplayer. And the both mode and the Showdown 365 is good. Ok, back to Dark War II. Why i'm saying it will be great?. It has the IW Extreme 2.5. The engine will make the gameplay of the game more dynamic. And what i heard from Activision, the multiplayer will be more tactical and i loved tactical warfare, but i'm not sentimental person."

The Intro Cutscene shows the photograph of Vladimir Fashkov and the photo has a big red X on it and then the view changes to the photograph of Viktor Fashkov and it has big circle on it and on the circle there's "MISSING" text. After that there are some flashback from Call of Duty: Dark War missions, Back In The Day and End of The War.

And with the cutscene playing, Phantom is speaking.

"War is over. That's what people thought. I'm also thought the same. They were wrong, i was wrong. I thought killing Vladimir Fashkov would end the war, it's not. His son, Viktor Fashkov is still alive. And he's the new leader of Krasnez. And i'm afraid he will do the same thing like his father did or maybe worst. And it all started here..."

And then "CALL OF DUTY: DARK WAR II" text shows up on the screen.

After they deal with them Phantom request for an extraction. And the screen fades to black.

After the assassination is failed, Task Force 141 is busy tracking Viktor Fashkov and with no luck. One week later, Task Force 141 is been contact by a Retired USMC soldier and he knew the location of Viktor Fashkov. He said, if Phantom want the information, he must meet him in Iowa. After he sent the coordinate of his location he said Iowa is being controlled by Iowa. Before attacking Iowa, they blocked all communication there and then they raid Iowa. The strategy that used by Krasnez is called, Shadow War. Task Force 141 is using a cargo plane and when they get there, the plane is caught on Krasnez's radar and they shot down the plane and they parachute down from the plane. Strong wind blew the team into serperate groups. Hawk is landed on a tree and when he looked down, he saw a small group of Krasnez soldiers is passing by and looks like headed to the crash site. Then he use his combat knife to cutted himself loose. After landed on the ground he's been contact by Bird and he tell Hawk that he has found Rough but he's not found Phantom. And he said, he can see Hawk on the tracker and Bird sent the location on Hawk's tracker. While on the way to Bird and Rough, Hawk avoided some enemy patrols and some land mines. Then he find Bird and Rough. After a short walk, they saw Phantom is about to be executed by two Krasnez soldiers. Then Hawk kill one of the Krasnez soldiers and Phantom disarms the other and use his gun to kill him. Then Phantom put the retired soldier coordinate to his tracker and he can see him on the tracker. The coordinate leads them to a house. The door's not locked and they saw some dead Krasnez soldiers inside the house. And after they're upstairs and they checked a room. Then a man punch Hawk from the side and he ask Hawk who is he and his friends and he replied he and his friends are the Task Force 141. Then he greets them and he revealed his name, Stan Brooks but he likes to be called Pikes. Then Rough saw a Javelin rocket is about to hit the outside of the 2nd floot of the house and when the rocket hitted the outside of the 2nd floor, they got thrown out and they saw reinforcements of Krasnez soldiers coming. After they killed all Krasnez soldiers, Pikes told Phantom there's a Krasnez compound nearby and they got helicopters and it's the ticket out of there but they got detected by all Krasnez soldiers so they need to fight their way to the compound. After they reached the compound, they saw a bunch of prisoners and they fight their way to the control room to deactivated the security system and free the prisoners. After they do that Pikes leads the prisoners to the armory to get some weapons and help Task Force 141 because the compound is big. Turns out the prisoners are the resistance of Iowa. Then after the prisoners fight the Krasnez, Task Force 141 takes one of the choppers and get out from the Iowa.

In Task Force 141 headquarter, Pikes gives the information of Viktor Fashkov. He moves every 24 hours. And now he's in his hideout. A Krasnez compound on Tian Shen mountains. But he's gonna moves again in 5 hours. There's no way Task Force 141 will make it in time. Then Phantom contact US Army Rangers and tell about the return of Krasnez and Shadow War. And he tell them about Viktor's location.

America is sent the Delta Force to Tian Shen Mountains. The new Delta Force are Michael "Cyclops" Kenton, Damian "Dice" Sanderson, and Samuel "Iron" Stetson. First Cyclops using a binocular and he's looking at Viktor's hideout from the distance. Iron ask Cyclops about the enemies numbers. He said it's too many. Then he stopped looking at the compound and they make their way to the compound silently. Their weapons are attached with heartbeat sensor. While on their way, Dice saw an Enemies patrol and he counted to 3 and after that they killed the enemies patrol. Then they saw some land mines and they need to avoid those mines. And then they saw some enemy tanks and BTR coming to their way and they must get down and wait until they passed. And then they reach the compound. On the compound, Cyclops plant some c4 on some enemies's vehicle to cover their escape. After their inside the compound building, they make their way to the control room to hack the compound system. After they hack the compound system, Cyclops used the device to kill all the lights. Then Cyclops told his team to prep their NVGs and he states weapons free. Then they reach Viktor's office and they breach the door. After they killed all Krasnez soldiers, they can't find Viktor, but Dice found a datapad that contained information about Krasnez on a table. Then Viktor appear on the tv and he talk to the Delta Force and he states he knew Ameican will come for him and then Viktor detonate the bomb inside the compound and the mission is compromised and they need to get out from the compound. They use a snowmobiles to escape and Cyclops detonate the c4s to cover their escape. Then Cyclops calls for an extraction. And the LZ is on the mountains across a giant gorge near the compound. And they at full speed while on the gorge and they jump from the gorge using snowmobiles and reach the LZ.

It turns out, Shadow War has been happened for 1.5 year without getting detected, and Krasnez has taken almost entire South America. The next target is North America. And Krasnez main plan is to destroy entire America with their kinetic missiles. After America is destroyed, England is next. Krasnez has hired 3 professional hackers to hacked America's kinetic missiles space platform. The platform just have been made, and the missiles are still on Earth and Krasnez has stole 5 kinetic missiles. After the Delta Force gave America the datapad, United States and England are preparing their strategy to fight Krasnez.

Iron is on the entrance of the house, when Dimitri are on the entrance Iron captured Dimitri. And Cyclops must protected Dice while he make his way to Iron and Iron when he secure Dimitri. After they do that they interrogate Dimitri about the location of the missiles. First Dimitri doesn't want to answer but then he decided to answer after Cyclops breaks the window and force him to eat and chew the glass. He tell Cyclops the missiles is on the top of Mount Rushmore and will be launched to space in 1 hour. Then a Krasnez soldier shot Dimitri in the head and the Delta Force must face reinforcements of Krasnez soldiers. After they survived the ambush, Dice call for a chopper to bring them to Mount Rushmore. Then the screen fades to black and the screen shows "10 Minutes Later" text. Mount Rushmore is filled with Krasnez. The Delta Force can see the missiles are about to be launched. But the pilot can't landed on the top of the mount Rushmore because it's too risky.
