Alright first off I only learned a few things about black ops 2 but still ^_^. First off the demo took place in Los Angeles in the year 2025. So as you can image it has futuristic weapons.
The main character is the son of the character from black ops 1. During the demo the mission was to protect the president of the untied states. All of the technology closely resembles Ghost recon: future soldiers tech. So apparently everyone is moving into the future with shooters, but not into Science fiction.
Sorry there were to many people in the way so I only got to play for like 3 minutes but I will post the press conference video ^_^
