The Guillemot family founded Ubisoft in March of 1986. Yves Guillemot, the chairman and the CEO, soon after made deals with MicroProse, Sierra On-Line and Electronic Arts to start distributing their games in France. The first game that was developed internally by Ubisoft was released in 1989 by the name of Zombi. By the end of the decade Ubisoft expanded worldwide. Ubisoft spread over 19 countries with 29 companies and it also has subsidiaries in 26 countries.
Right behind Electronic Arts and Activision Blizzard, Ubisoft is the third-largest independent game publisher in the world. It published some of the most famous games in the world today starting back in 1995 with Rayman, continuing with Tom Clancy’s franchise starting in 1999, Prince of Persia in 2003, Far Cry in 2004, it’s most famous franchise Assassins Creed in 2007, Just Dance in 2009 and South Park: The Stick of Truth in 2014.
Ubisoft developed several game engines specifically for their games. The first game engine developed by Ubisoft was the Jade engine used for the video game Beyond Good and Evil in 2003 and continued to be used until 2010. Next one is their most advanced game engine called Anvil. It was developed for the Assassin’s Creed franchise but it was also used for the Prince of Persia games. The Dunia engine was specifically modified version of Crytek’s CryEngine for the Far Cry franchise. It was first put to use in 2008 in the Far Cry 2 game. Later on for Far Cry 3 a little more advanced engine, called Dunia 2, was developed to better use the capabilities of their game. Lyn engine is used by portable and regular consoles for its ability to maximize console graphical capabilities. And there are a couple of engines that Ubisoft is using for their games that were developed by a different company. The very famous Unreal engine and the Vision engine 8. And for their latest game South Park: The Stick of Truth the used a heavily modified version of Dungeon Siege 3 engine to display the two dimensional graphics.
Uplay is a communications and multiplayer service created by Ubisoft providing similar experience to the achievements offered by various other game companies. When Assassin’s Creed 2 came out in 2009, Ubisoft launched the Uplay network that can be activated either in game or by the Uplay website.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege started to be developed by Ubisoft in January 2013 just before they cancelled the release of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Patriots in May 2013.
Call of duty black ops 2 is a first-person shooter video game developed by Treyarch and published by Activision, the game was first released in November of 2012 and is a sequel to the 2010 game call of duty black ops. Black ops 2 was the first call of duty to bring the franchise into future warfare and first to offer player choice with branching storylines.
So we get many things in the game. And like Black Ops 2 was a shooting game. It was the #1 game back then. But Fortnite came out and took over all the games. I think the old game back then were better because they look nice and there are a lot of fun.

By using standard OpenGL or DirectX functions, it makes it easier for developers to create graphically-oriented programs. Of course, it also makes it necessary for the computer to include a supported video card in order for the program to
