Plot

The Allied Nations, still recovering from the war in Cosmo Land, face a large-scale invasion by the Black Hole Army in Macro Land. Led by Sturm and featuring new weapons developed by Lash, the Black Hole COs—Flak, Lash, Adder, and Hawke—are tasked with capturing the four countries of the Allied Nations. The four armies must unite to repel the invasion. Towards the end of the campaign, after driving the Black Hole COs out, the Allied forces confront Sturm at Black Hole's base. They must disable the Death Ray, a weapon guarding a missile set to destroy half of Wars World in 30 days. After destroying the Death Ray, the Allied COs disarm the missile. As Sturm attempts to self-destruct the missile, Hawke betrays and kills him with his Super CO Power, Black Storm, taking over leadership of Black Hole and retreating with the remaining troops.

New Unit

Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising introduces the Neotank, developed by Black Hole. It is the strongest Tank in the game, surpassing the Medium Tank.

New Features

Several new terrain features and weapons were introduced:

• Silos: Fired by Infantry or Mech units, Silos damage all units in a two-square radius, dealing three damage to any unit. They can only be used once per battle and are effective against high-armor units.
• Pipelines and Pipe seams: Impenetrable Pipes that obstruct movement. Units can pass through gaps, and Pipe seams can be destroyed to create openings.
• Black Hole Weapons: Various new weapons used exclusively by the Black Hole Army, such as the Black Cannon, which the player cannot use.

New COs and CO Powers

Advance Wars 2 features new COs for each Force, with Black Hole gaining four additional ones. All COs now have a normal CO Power and a Super CO Power, except Sturm, who only has a Super CO Power.
