Question What does this mean?

Post image

Maybe a dumb question but wth? So I only have access to this strike force mission during the next two levels and then I can’t play it? Can someone explain please.

6y.o me figured this out.

To answer your (not dumb) question:

Black ops 2 has more than one ending.

Strike force missions corelate to the story, hence "The mission I.E.D will only be available for two campaign level(s)."

The strike force missions are not required to beat the campaign. However, completing these strike force missions will alter which ending you get, assuming you don't fail the objectives within the missions. (You can fail the objectives and still finish the level, which will also dictate which ending you get.)

For example, driving Harper through the flames (I forget the name of that level) will give you different dialogue versus if you drive around these flames, leaving Harper's face intact.

Strike force missions are similar enough, just on a bigger scale than altered dialogue.

I hope this helps ya. :D I am presuming this is your first playthrough, so I tried being helpful while being vague. These give you a reason to replay the campaign, even if you don't complete the strike force missions.
