11. How many characters are optional to kill or die?
From Quiz "Black Ops 2" Campaign
Answer:
Nine
Harper, Farid, Karma, Defalco, Briggs, Menendez, Tian Zhao, Salazar (Harper must be alive), & Kravchenko are optional to kill/die. Harper, Faird, Karma, Briggs & Kravchenko have to be chosen. Karma requires killing Defalco on Karma (mission). If not, get her on Second Chance (Strike Force). If you don't do that, she will die on Odysseus unless Farid is alive. In Achilles' Veil you choose to kill Harper or let Farid die. If Farid dies, Karma will die. If Harper dies, Salazar lives. DeFalco is killed in Karma or in the final mission. Menendez will die or live in the final mission. This can be a huge change to the ending. Alex Mason has the option to die or live in one mission, which can also be a big ending changer. Kravchenko will die no matter what, it just depends if Mason kills him or Woods kills him. Tian Zhao must be killed in a Strike a force mission. If he isn't killed, the Chinese will not help prevent the Obama from sinking or snipe in the final mission. Not preventing the Obama from sinking will result in Karma dying. You get an achievement if Tian Zhao is killed.
