Black Ops 2 Career and Strike Force Challenges Guide

Black Ops 2 offers an extensive single-player campaign replete with challenges for you to accomplish. In total, there are 160 challenges split across the 16 different missions in the single-player campaign.

Each mission consists of ten challenges, which you can accomplish across multiple playthroughs of the game, so you don't have to do it all at once. Completing all of these challenges will allow you to unlock the Giant Accomplishment achievement/trophy on the Xbox 360 and PS3. 

The following challenges are split between career missions and strike force missions, the latter of which can be seen in the next slide of this article.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will be available on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC this Tuesday. A Wii U version is also planned.
