It's honestly getting kind of freaky how much Call of Duty Black Ops 2 managed to predict about the current state of the world as of 2025:
- Game's Main Events take place during June 2025
- War in the Middle East (Yemen in BO2, Iran IRL)
- Los Angeles is in Chaos
- Drones dominate the battlefield
- U.S and China rare earth materials tensions
- Proxy Conflict in Yemen
- Tomorrow (June 19th) is Freedom Day, the game's final mission
- On June 20th, Cordis Die Revolution ends up toppling the US government in the bad ending, IRL there are mass protests in the US right now.
- One of the bigger differences is in BO2 there is a female US President
There are probably even more predictions that came true, Pretty insane that this awesome campaign that I replayed countless times is being echoed IRL now, what a world.
