33. When your objective is updated to finding Menendez, fight across several rooms as the explosions start in the base. Once you've found the dark, shaft-like section of the base and find the way downstairs. You'll find the game's last intel there.
Shaft Intel
The game has different key decision points, which are tied to some missable trophies in the game. To get the best ending (and to play all through Strike Force Missions), you have to do the following. Warning: Spoilers ahead
Mission 3: Resist killing Kravchenko three times during the interrogation
Mission 5: Avoid driving through the fire during the last part of the mission. (See the Hey Good Looking trophy)
Mission 6: Catch up with De Falco and kill him. Otherwise, successfully complete the strike mission “Second Chance”
Mission 7: Don't kill the target with a headshot; shoot him in the knee twice instead (See Family Reunion)
Mission 8: Before starting the mission, finish the last strike mission “Dispatch”. This SFM is only available after successfully completing all four preceding SFMs.
Mission 8: Kill Harper during the interactive scene.
Mission 9: Don't kill the admiral but shoot him in the leg instead
Make sure to finish the Strike Force missions once they become available; some of them have will become available as you progress through the story or when you made a wrong decision.

Story missions will always include challenges like completing the mission without dying and collecting all intels. Strike Force missions always include completing the mission in tactical view only.
Also, always bring your Access Perk since some of these challenges require optional weapons/ explosives or access to areas that are otherwise inaccessible without it. Some weapons in the Loadout are also unlocked by completing a number of challenges on specific missions.
During gameplay, you'll know that you've unlocked a challenge when you see a “Career Record Updated” message in the upper left corner of the screen. The game however, won't tell you what challenge you have completed. Also remember that the challenges will only register after completing the mission. Quitting the game won't save the challenge progress and dying will reset the challenge's state during the last saved checkpoint.
Finally, before starting a new story, you may want to get the trophy first since your progress and challenges will reset as well.

Tower of Babble (Silver)
In TranZit, obey the voices.
This trophy is a multi-step process which requires at least 2 people on original difficulty. You can do it with 3-4 people (much better). Another thing to note is that all four shouldn't have completed this method before – otherwise, they won't hear the voices and this method will not work for the others.
There are two voices to follow: Richtofen and Maxis'. The easiest and available method is from Maxis so that's what we're going to lay out here.
1: From the starting room, build a turbine by finding the following parts in the same room: Mannequin, Plane wing and Fan. All players must get one.
2: Ride the bus to the Diner and access the mystery box. One of the players must get an EMP grenade. This is completely random and make take several or few attempts depending on your luck. You can stick for a while and gather points until someone gets an EMP grenade. Once done, ride the bus to the power station.
3: Once you arrived, head to the shed and open the power station door for 750 points. There are three parts there that you can assemble to turn on the power. (box, lever and zombie hand)
4: Wait for Maxis' speech to finish then turn off the power.
5: All players now then need to go outside and follow the road to the left until you see a lantern. From there, continue forth while keeping on the left side of the road until you reach a cornfield. Navigate the cornfield until you find a pylon.
6: Converge by the pylon and hold off that position. Only kill the round's last zombie when the thunderstorm forms overhead. You need to do this to ensure that the lightning zombie spawns in the next round.
7: Once the electric zombie spawns, set up two turbines in the sides of the pylon to power it up. Once you hear Maxis' orders you to kill the lightning zombie (killing this special zombie will also unlock the trophy “You Have No Power Over Me”), lob an EMP grenade at it to kill it instantly. Keep a zombie alive at the end of this round.
8: Once done, pick up the turbines and the players need to go separately to any of the lanterns in the following locations: diner, town and bus depot. All players must set their turbines down at the same time. You should see some red smoke coming out of the lanterns confirming that you've done the steps right.
For two players, they can place the turbines in any of the lantern locations as long as they're separate. For 3 or more players, they need to place the turbines in the individual locations separately.
Don't Fire Until You See (Bronze)
In TranZit, have all doors opened without being set on fire.
While attempting this trophy, you should not get damaged by a fire or exploding zombie and you shouldn't walk over the lava or burning spots on the ground. There are 19 doors, some requires points to open, some need the turbine and there is one that requires a grenade. In case you get damaged and have to start all over again, you can deposit your cash in the bank and deliberately die so you can recycle most of the funds back.
To learn how the bank works, you may refer to this video: http://youtu.be/51gXWoHFXMo
Also you need to build a turbine to open the doors that require power. All the parts to build one is found in the starting room. Make sure not to leave them too long as they degrade and get destroyed. You need a total of 7000 points to open all the doors. You can stick around in the first area and farm until you get around 5000 points before leaving.
The list of the doors are as follows:
Bus Stop: 1 door (750 pts), 2 turbine doors
Diner: x2 doors (750 pts each), 1 turbine door
Farm: x2 doors (750 pts each), 1 turbine door
Power Bunker: 1 door (750 pts), 2 turbine doors
Town: x2 doors (1000 pts each), x2 doors (750 pts each),1 turbine door and vault door (requires grenades)
The Lights Of Their Eyes (Bronze)
In Green Run, pacify at least 10 zombies with 1 EMP.
Ride the bus to the diner where the mystery box is and keep farming for points so you can attempt getting EMP grenades from it. The weapons generated from the box is very random so you have to keep trying until you get the EMP grenades. Once you have it, let the zombies converge then lob a grenade in the middle so get two of them.
Undead Man's Party Bus (Bronze)
In TranZit, complete all additions to the bus in 1 game.
There are four different parts you can add to the bus that can be found in four different locations. The locations are fixed but the parts you can find on them are not. These parts are always inside the rooms that require power so before heading out to find them, build a turbine in the starting area.
Dance On My Grave (Bronze)
In Green Run, acquire your Tombstone.
Start a round with a co-op partner locally or online. Now make your way to the third bus stop and head to the bunker. You have to turn the power on so collect the three parts (box/panel, zombie hand and lever) and assemble them in the workbench. Make sure you have at least 2000 points as well.
Turn on the power and the gate will open up. Head to the perk machine and buy the Tombstone perk. Kill the zombies and leave the last one. Let it bring you down then press square to plant the Tombstone and die. Now have your partner finish it off and you'll respawn afterward. Just return to the spot where you planted your tombstone to get your weapons back and the trophy.
Standard Equipment May Vary (Bronze)
In TranZit, acquire 4 different equippable items in 1 game.
There are 5 optional equipments in the game, one for each area. Fortunately, the first four equipment can be assembled from parts found in their respective areas. The last one is a bit tedious since the parts are scattered throughout the areas. Also, take note that you can only carry one part at a time. After finding a part, quickly bring it to the workbench to start assembling.
Bus Station – Turbine: Mannequin, Fan and Wing
Turbine
Diner – Zombie Shield: Dolly, Car Door 
Farm – Turret: Lawnmower, Ammo and RPD
Power Bunker – Electrical Trap: Broken Mirror, Battery and Stand
You Have No Power Over Me (Bronze)
In TranZit, defeat "him" without being attacked by "him".
HIM is the codename for the lightning zombie that you can spawn after turning the power on in the Power Station. You need to use an EMP grenade to fully kill him. Refer to the (Tower of Babble) trophy details as the steps indicated there require an encounter with this lighting zombie.
I Don't Think They Exist (Bronze)
In TranZit, kill one of the denizens of the forest while it is latched onto you.
In the first area, open the door then head outside to the fog until a goblin-like creature latches to you. Kill it immediately while it is scratching your face until you get the trophy.
I didn't think they exist
Fuel Efficient (Bronze)
In TranZit, use an alternative mode of transportation.
In the first area, assemble a turbine (see Standard Equipment May Vary trophy) then gain at least 750 points to open the door. Now find a lamppost to the left of the bus then place the turbine there. Head to the fog to the left and let a gremlin latch unto you. While it is latched, bring it to where the lamppost is to remove the gremlin and have it create a portal for you. You need to hit the gremlin with few melee strikes to keep yourself from dying. Now jump to the newly created portal to reach the next area and unlock the trophy.
welcome to the gremlin portal!
Happy Hour (Bronze)
In TranZit, buy 2 different perks before turning on the power.
First, buy the Revive perk from the soda machine to the left of the door. Next, assemble a turbine and exit the diner using the locked doors near the workbench to save money. (Recommended if you're just after the trophy) Next, ride the bus to the diner then open any of its doors. Now kill a few more zombies until you get 1000 pts then buy the MP5, beside the soda machine. Use the MP5 to accumulate 3000 pts more then power up the soda machine and buy the speed perk.
Don't worry if you used the Revive perk before buying the second perk. You' ll still unlock the trophy as long as you purchase the second perk.
Happy, happy hour
These are missions that are unlocked through the story, depending on the outcome you chose. Some SF missions will become available through these events however, you can still replay them from the Replay Mission option. Before you start an actual strike force mission, you'll have a tutorial. Just learn from the tutorial and take note of the various commands 
Primary Objective:
Defend the Factory by protecting its key exterior components
Challenges:
- Melee enemy personnel (x10)
- Eliminate enemy personnel (x20) using sentry turret
- Eliminate enemy personnel as CLAW (x10)
- Complete mission with enemy never lowering defense field
- Eliminate enemy ASD (x3) using only sentry turrets
- Eliminate enemy personnel (x20) with headshots
- Destroy enemy quad drones (x12)
- Prevent enemy from planting more than one hacking module
- Allow no more than one sentry turret to be destroyed
- Complete the mission in “tactical view” only
You have to defend the key positions for 10 minutes. It will be a challenge defending all three key points so you may want to concentrate your forces in the sat antenna and generator areas so you can create choke points. Reposition your turrets near the entrances but make sure they're not too exposed to get destroyed immediately or restricted to even be of help.
Don't let your CLAW stray away too much; instead, keep it near the auto-turret. Have one squad stand by on the ground and the other by the satellite antenna. Take control of one of the infantry there and take out the enemies as they come. The enemies will be arriving in the same spots, making it possible for you to anticipate their landing zones. 
Primary Objective:
Sink the SDC cargo Freighter
Challenges:
- Destroy CLAWS (x2) using only soldiers
- Use only 3 network intruders to complete the mission
- Complete mission with more than 2:00 min remaining
- Eliminate enemy personnel (x10) with headshots
- Melee enemy personnel (x15)
- Destroy enemy ASD (x3) as a CLAW
- Eliminate enemy personnel (x15) with explosives
- Eliminate enemy personnel (x15) while they are stunned
- Run over enemy personnel (x20) with ASD
- Complete the mission in “tactical view” only
You have to capture all three points and launch a missile strike within 10 minutes.
Head to the first capture point and place your units near the key points. Take control of one of the infantry unit to plant a hacking module then defend that position until the hacking is complete. After clearing keypoint A, move your surviving foot soldiers and ASD inside the warehouse to north. You may want to take control one of them so you can reposition them so they can have a good view of the next capture point. 
Next, control the next fire team that will arrive and lead them to the container boxes overlooking the next capture point. Don't expose them too much; just reposition them there until your ASD and CLAW are ready. Order the ASDs and CLAW to head to capture point B and manually control one of the infantry soldiers. Provide cover to your bots by destroying enemy infantry and quads. Once the area's a bit clear, move the infantry squad on the ground to the capture point and order the other infantry squad that's on the container vans.
Get in cover and take out the incoming enemy forces, taking control of the Claw or ASD preferably. After capturing the point, order your ASDs and CLAW to move to the last capture point. It is rather near and the enemy deployment will be almost in the same area so be careful not to get caught in the open. Place your ASD and CLAW near the open while one squad at the rear of the capture point. For the last squad, you can manually control them to eliminate the targets heading to the last capture point.
After successfully hacking all three, call in a missile strike and steer the missile to the ship to complete this mission.
Primary Objective:
Escort the High Value Cargo to Extraction Site
Challenges:
- Eliminate enemy personnel (x3) while they are planting IED
- Eliminate enemy personnel (x10) on horseback
- Convoy never stopped by presence of the IED
- Destroy tanks (x3) with kinetic projectile weapon
- Destroy help with kinetic projectile weapon
- Eliminate enemy personnel (x20) as a quad drone
- Run over enemy personnel (x10) as ASD
- Use only ASDs to destroy tanks
- Keep all vehicles in convoy safe
- Complete the mission in “tactical view” only
In this mission, there will be no ground soldiers, just pure drones and ASDs. There are four vehicles to protect and several targets to destroy. You probably need to take control of your aerial units more often for added mobility. Use your quads to take out the RPG troopers on the mountains, helos or other soft targets such as the horseback riders then use ASD or HAMP (high altitude munitions platform) to take out the tanks. T'he convoy won't stop if there are IEDs on the ground. When that happens, destroy them first before you can move.
Be wary of your mini map and move ahead of the red targets to take out the enemies before the convoy reaches them. You can also order some of your drones to go ahead of the convoy to scout and mark targets.
Note: This SF mission is only available after De Falco escapes.
Primary Objective:
Secure the High Value Individual
Challenges:
- Eliminate enemy personnel (x10) as HVI
- Eliminate enemy personnel (x10) as VTOL turret gunner
- Melee enemy personnel (x10)
- Eliminate enemy personnel (x15) with headshots

- Eliminate enemy personnel (x15) with explosives
- Eliminate enemy personnel (x5) by exploding vehicles

This is a fairly easy mission. You have to search the mark safehouses until you find Chloe. (I am not certain whether Chloe's position is fixed or set randomly). Order your squads to secure key areas, especially your rear to avoid getting flanked. There are usually 2-3 enemies inside each safehouse and a more enemies arriving randomly. Be careful of the enemy quads as well and RPG troopers. Once you find Chloe, you can take control of her to ensure her safety and head to the extraction point.
This SF is only available after successfully completing all four preceding SF missions. One of the four, “Second Chance” will become unavailable by killing De Falco during the last part of the campaign mission “Karma”.
Primary Objective:
Assassinate the High Value Target
Challenges:
Melee enemy personnel (x10)
Destroy enemy ASD (x6) while disabled
Complete mission with more than 3:00 remaining
Eliminate enemy personnel (x20) with headshots
Eliminate enemy personnel (15) with explosives
Destroy turrets (x3) while disabled
Destroy multiple ASD (x2) with one explosion
Use only hacking module to complete mission
Eliminate enemy personnel (x10) while they are stunned
Complete the mission in “tactical view” only
The way to the target is heavily defended. Avoid taking the streets; instead, consider routing your forces to the alley to the right. First, you can order all your units to converge in the initial area; just make sure to place them in cover. Next, route two units to the alley to the right and control one of them. Take out the auto-turrets by the fountain and hold that position with two squads. Order the last squad to regroup and guard the alley where you came from to avoid getting routed. 
Next, bring one squad inside the diner and set their rally point there. The diner's entrance should bring you close enough to the target. Take out the ASDs and auto-turrets there then order two squads to guard the area. Make sure to kill enemy soldiers first as your squads are vulnerable when moving. Plant the EMP charge and defend it until it successfully detonates. Once done, open the door to assassinate the HVT. 
Taking out the nutjob
COD Black Ops 2 now allows you to choose the loadout you prefer through the “Create-A-Class” system. You'll be given 10 points to select the perks, weapons, attachments and equipment of your preference. This will enable you to remove, add or interchange various gears and perks to suit your style.
Primary weapons have two attachments be default while secondary weapons can only have one attachment. They can have an extra attachment each by including a Wildcard (refer to the Create-A-Class section) in your loadout. You can only carry one Lethal and Tactical equipment but there's an extra slot should you opt to choose.
Assault Rifles
You'll be using these most of the time. They're deadly, efficient and versatile. You can trust these in close to long-range engagements, even enhance their capabilities through different attachments. Assault rifles are also powerful enough to penetrate through single layers of concrete or solid cover.

AN-94
Sub Machine Guns
SMGs are lightweight and accurate weapons best used for fast-paced, close engagements that require mobility. Their fast aim-down-sight allows their users to aim quickly to a target and fire more accurate shots. SMGs deal more damage that assault rifles but their limited range somehow limits their usefulness against more distant targets.
MP7
PDW-57
Vector K10
MSMC
CHICOM CQB
SKORPION EVO
Shotguns
These weapons deal massive damage per shot at close rate, perfect for urban or CQB (close-quarter-battles) maps. However, this damage is practically mitigated as the target's distance increases as the shotgun pellets disperse at the wide area. Players who want to use shotguns as their primary weapons should make up with its limitation by having corresponding perks or a good secondary weapon.
Remington 870MCS
S12
KSG
M1216
LMG (Light Machine Guns)
These are heavy weapons sporting large magazines, heavy damage and very high penetration at a cost of mobility, accuracy and slower ADS (aim-down-sight). Heavy gunners can use LMGs to setup defensive/ambush positions or provide covering fire during an assault. Their lack in accuracy and range can be further enhanced with the help of attachments while a player's overall efficiency when using this as a primary weapon can be further increased with the right perks.
MK48
QBB LSW
LSAT
HAMR
Sniper Rifles
They're highly accurate, deadly even at long distances and can deal often fatal damage. Their only weakness is their slow fire-rate which is not a problem for some semi-automatic models. When used by a highly efficient player, sniper rifles can help lock down a certain path or area in the map. Snipers often carry a reliable SMG or pistol as their secondary weapon to defend themselves against close-quarter engagements.
SVU-AS
DSR-50
BALLISTA
XPR-50
Special
There is only one “weapon” in this category and that is the Assault Shield. It's a bullet-resistant shield that can be deployed as cover. It is best used with team mates assisting behind or when you're caught in a firefight without any nearby cover.
Assault Shield
Pistols
These are trusty sidearms that you can immediately pull in times of emergencies. These are fast, lightweight and powerful enough to finish off enemies in case you run out of ammo in the middle of a firefight.
Five-seven
Tac-45
B23R
Executioner
KAP-40
Launchers
These are heavy, explosive weapons that can easily destroy targets, especially drones and vehicles. They have very limited ammo so their usefulness will depend on the map and game mode.
SMAW
FHJ-1B AA
This weapon requires a lock-on to enemy vehicles or turrets. You can't fire it freely against human targets.

Sensor Grenade
Detects enemy soldiers within the line of sight
Black Hat
Hack equipment and/or care packages; disable enemy vehicles
Shock Charge

EMP Grenade
Disables enemy electronic systems
Flashbang

Trophy System
Destroys enemy projectiles within 10 meters. Vehicle projectiles may penetrate. 
Tactical Insertion
Drop-zone beacon that allows you to place your next spawn point. Not availabe in Free-for-All games. 
These are add-ons you can attach to your weapons to improve their performance. Primary weapons have two attachments be default while secondary weapons can only have one attachment. They can have an extra attachment each by including a Wildcard (refer to the Create-A-Class section) in your loadout. You can only carry one Lethal and Tactical equipment but there's an extra slot should you opt to choose. Some weapons such as launchers can't have any attachments at all.
Some attachments can't be used together, especially if they're in the same category (for example: scopes, sights and grips) When choosing an attachment, it is always a good idea to choose the ones that will cover your preferred weapon's weakness.

This section will just show you the layout of the Standard maps. Strategies will still depend on the players and the mode they're playing.
Aftermath
Downtown Los Angeles. Close engagements in and out of the fallout of drone attacks. 
The main engagement area of this map is in the middle, where there is a wide, open area with elevated sniping points for both sides. The surrounding areas are tight, full of corners and small open areas.
Cargo
Port of singapore. Good for close quarter engagements and verticality
The main engagement area is the circular loading area where a couple of container vans are lifted regularly, providing / removing much needed cover. The surrounding area is small with tight corners, and there are paths leading to the upper container vans to have a much better view of the main area.
Carrier
Chinese Supercarrier. Open engagements on the deck, with great close quarters lights in the passageways. 
This area is relatively small with lots of open space so expect immediate enemy engagements. There are relatively few elevated spotting positions but they have no cover so expect that the enemies can easily see you as well.
Drone
Hidden drone facility in the heart of the Myanmar jungles. Great long engagements down the center, fun close quarter fights inside the facility. 
As the description say, the main engagement area will take place in the long stretch of road in the middle. The facilities will offer wide areas with many obstacles. There are a lot of openings that can be used for flanking.
Express
Los Angeles bullet train station. Good long to medium engagements up and down the bullet train tracks. 
The train track offers little cover while the station itself has enough space for some frantic engagements. Drones may have difficulties navigating the area.
Hijacked
Luxurious super yacht. Franctic, yet controlled close-quarters engagements
This is a really small map that will have players get into each other's throats in less than 30 seconds. There are no flanking routes meaning opposing teams will most likely engage in the middle and whoever successfully pushes the rival team forward.
Meltdown
Pakistan nuclear power plant. Battle for control of the nuclear cooling tower and the surrounding facilities. 
There are three possible main engagement areas, all of them located in the middle. Both sides have access to rooms with windows overlooking the opposing team's starting position.
Overflow
Pashawar, Pakistan. Great urban engagements in the flooded streets
This is the same map as the last strike force mission in the campaign. The road in the middle is the main engagement area though there are two flanking routes in the northwest and southeast.
Plaza
Floating resort in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Tight corners and angles throughout.
This map offers little hiding or camping space, not to mention many corners and angles so check your corners before moving to avoid getting surprised by enemies.
Raid
Fight through this hillside mansion in the Hollywood Hills. Hectic close-quarters engagements. 
This map has many routes and corners as well but offers immediate close/mid-range battles. Both sides have access to rooms overlooking the 2nd and third open areas.
Slums
Run down section of Panama. Great close-quarters engagements and tough chokes to fight over. 
As the description said, there are strategic chokepoints in this map where you can put auto-turrets or guardians to efficiently lock them down.
Standoff
Border town between China and Kyrgystan. Classic engagements and destinations to fight over.
There are several elevated and overlooking positions here that snipers and heavy gunners can take to lock down or hold the path.
Yemen
Urban streets of Yemen. Tight alleys and close quarters engagements. 
This map is full of buildings and tight streets. There are second floor windows that offers effective vantage point in most routes.

COD Black Ops 2 now allows you to choose the loadout you prefer through the “Create-A-Class” system. You'll be given 10 points to select the perks, weapons, attachments and equipment of your preference. This will enable you to remove, add or interchange various gears and perks to suit your style.
You can remove some perks to free up points to allocate to your weapons, attachments and grenades or tactical equipment. In the other hand, you can also limit your weapons and equipment to get additional perks. There are a total of 6 perks which can be increased by a slot with the help of Wildcards. However, Wildcards also take up one allocation point, so getting an extra slot for each perk will leave you with a single weapon with no attachments. Choosing the right perks for your “class”, weapon loadout or playing style will go a long way.
