Reznor, a fan of the "Call of Duty" games, partnered with development studio Treyarch to create the theme song for the game.

"I have always looked to that franchise as the cutting edge of what seemingly unlimited budgets and full-on not cutting any corners can do in the current day and age," Reznor told USA Today.

He said he has composed an "aggressively sounding" theme song to go along with the game's intense story line, which revolves around a massive global conflict and a futuristic Cold War between the United States and China. 

This is not Reznor's first time creating music for a video game. He helped compose the sound for id Software's game "Quake" and worked on the music for "Doom 3."

"Black Ops 2" is due to launch Nov. 13. Check out the brand new trailer below.
