What is the genre of music for the soundtrack of Call of Duty: Black Ops II?

Mainly, the genre for the more "futuristic"/2025 tracks. Also, if instruments, keys, and similar sounding songs are known, that would be greatly appreciated.

    It has a handful of different subgenres of Electronic music.

    1st song: breakbeat, specifically big beat

    2nd song: breakbeat, with some ambient industrial (or dark ambient)

    3nd song: breakbeat, specifically big beat

    4th song: psydub and/or psybient (styles of psytrance with a slow tempo and less percussion)

    5th song: industrial music, specifically aggrotech

    Your particular selection seems to show the game's music leans mostly towards breakbeat and industrial music.
