The Call of Duty series has always offered a wealth of easter eggs.

In the first game, it was possible to escape from the chair you’re strapped in during the main menu. By pulling the left and right triggers while strapped into the interrogation chair, it was possible to free yourself and wander about the room. Doing so would even earn you an accomplishment—though you’d still be locked inside the room until you finished the game.
Once freed from the chair, you could even interact with a computer terminal that allowed you to mess around with an early, 1960s style operating system. The system itself contained an arcade game called “Dead Ops Arcade”. It was playable, and it even had a set of achievements tied to it.
Those little tidbits of history aside, Black Ops 2 contains just as many easter eggs, a few of which have been discovered so far by early adopters of the game. Like easter eggs of any variety, you’ll have to go out of your way to discover where they are. Click on the next slide to find out what’s in store for you in Black Ops 2.
Be aware that the following pages contain spoilers if you intend to discover these easter eggs for yourself. We'll be updating this page as more easter eggs become available.
