Black ops 2 timeline
Call of Duty, Black Ops 2 is a direct continuation of Call of Duty, Blacks Ops 1. It answers questions from the previous series and gives us more information about the characters retained from the previous game, like Frank Woods and Alex Mason.
Blacks Ops 2 is set in two timelines, one is in the later stages of the Cold War -"1980-1991"- (set in and belligerents: Angola, Vietnam, Panama, Nicaragua and Afghanistan) and in the near future of a second Cold War -"2018-2025"- (set in and belligerents: Myanmar, China, India, USA, Iran, Afghanistan, Russia, Pakistan, Yemen, Singapore and Haiti). The games levels are broken up between the two periods.
In the Cold War, you play prominently as Alex Mason but there are missions where you play as Frank Woods and Raul Menendez.
In the second Cold War, you play as David Mason, the son of Alex Mason and nephew of Frank Woods. However you do play as Farid, a CIA secret agent and Raul Menendez again.
The first Cold War missions are based around the rescue of Frank Woods and the attempting murder of Raul Menendez for both government and personal reasons, rather then fighting in the actual "Cold War" itself.
The second timeline is based around stopping the SDC, (Strategic Defense Coalition - China's corrupt military) from taking over the Asian continent, launching an attack on the USA and the starting of a WW3. You also continue to hunt Menendez down who has now become a warlord terrorist. He eventually corrupts the SDC into joining him in his conquests, resulting in China losing control of their own Military, forcing them to join the USA in battle against Menendez.
