At this point, the only people that aren’t willing to admit that the Call of Duty title coming next year is Black Ops 2 are the ones who are working on it. So much evidence has mounted, some more substantial than others, that it seems almost a formality at this point that Activision announce it in any sort of whiz-bang fashion.
But apparently that’s exactly what’s going to happen; at least if a rumored poster for Black Ops 2 is legitimate. Emblazoned on the poster are a date (May 2nd) and a brief tagline (“Return for Debriefing”) that suggests this is definitely for Black Ops 2.
Centered on the storytelling device of a covert debriefing, the first Black Ops put players into the role of Alex Mason as he recounts a mission gone wrong. Perhaps Mason will be returning to the chair, and will be subjected to further questioning by yet another shady organization.
May 2nd does seem like a prime candidate for a Call of Duty reveal, seeing as how previous iterations have also made their debut during that time. Our guess, based upon the timing, is that the first Black Ops 2 trailer will be featured during some marquee NBA Playoffs matchup, presumably on the rumored date of the 28th, and the 5th will play host to a media event where first looks at the game are offered.
The more important questions to ask about Black Ops 2, though, aren’t whether it exists or not, but what the story will focus on. Many story rumors early on suggested that gamers were in store for a prequel, but the game’s cliffhanger, and fan-favorite ending left us wanting to know more about Mason.
After Activision brought down the ban hammer, and then promptly repealed it, upon French publications for running a story on the leak of Black Ops 2 it further confirmed fans suspicions that Treyarch‘s next Call of Duty title would be a sequel to 2010′s wildly successful game. It’s time to let the cat out of the bag Activision.
Do you think it’s about time that Activision finally announces Black Ops 2? What do you want to see out of Treyarch’s next game?

“Do you think it’s about time that Activision finally ADMITS it’s Black Ops 2?”
- Corrected Anthony
What do you want to see out of Treyarch’s next game?”
- Take out All Kill/Deathstreaks, perks, increase player health, lower bullet damage throughout the game, take out lag compensation, Increase recoil & bullet spread in certain guns to give each weapon a unique feel, Give weapons a more distinct sound, lower the rate of fire for high caliber guns and give some weight to the gunplay to give different guns a unique feel and I Just might bite..
….Wait……What?……
Sounds like you described the perfect shooter to me. If only someone would make it. They should call it BattleDuty. Or CallField. I got it: Battlefield. And throw a 3 in the name somewhere just for sh!ts and giggles. Like at the end…
A game called Battlefield 3 with all of those features? That sounds like a game that would be way better than COD!
Sniping in BF3 is best i’ve ever seen in all war games. maxed out the recon class 4-5 times already!
BF3 FOREVER!
Lower bullet damage? Are you trying to make it into halo? Ffs, I play battlefield strictly for the fact I don’t have to use an entire clip to kill one person. Hardcore for the win. Increase bullet damage and lower player health, and You’re on.
Yes, it’s about time Activision finally announces Black Ops 2. Everybody knows it’s being developed, Activision is just waiting for the perfect time to impress all the kiddies with its “innovative” gameplay. It’s going to be a trailer that’ll have you saying, “Been there, done that.” Because you literally have already been there and done that by playing Black Ops.
I want to see the features HelghastUser named above.
All i see is a $60 zombie title
And you will still buy it….
I just want to see if they made a new engine. I think that Treyarch is the superior CoD developer and I don’t care what the haters think or say. Call of Duty is one of my most favorite multiplayer franchises and I’m glad that the better company now has the official reins to the series. If they do have a new engine, I sincerely hope that zombies will return (probably likely). The zombies aspect of every Treyarch game since WaW was so fun. Just get into a game with three of your best pals and shoot the hell out of every thing that comes at you. Gore is another aspect that was removed in Black Ops but I would like to see return. it was so fun to see people’s legs, heads, and arms get blown up or off by the shear power of the explosives and weapons. Even the Treyarch campaign I am looking forward to. To see where Mason, Hudson, and Weaver go next will be a tremendous exciting thing to play and see. I hope that they really do well this time around. I thought that MW3 took a step back in the series while Black Ops actually tried to innovate in to the series. Can’t wait to see the trailer and what Treyarch and Activision have in store for the game!
It’s doubtful that they made a new engine. COD’s graphics will likely be the same until the PS4 comes out. I’d say there’s a 90% chance zombies will return in Black Ops 2, because it was in both WaW and Black Ops and lots of people love it, so they couldn’t get rid of it unless they wanted to lose a lot of fans and money. I also hope that Black Ops 2 will be at least a little innovative, but I’m not holding my breath.
That’s because Activision fired the two main developers from infinity ward so they hired new staff and then to top it off Modern Warfare 3 was developed by like 3 different studios
MW3 was developed by Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games. However, Raven Software also develops the DLC.
I just hope that there is AI enemies in the multiplayer split screen mode because that’s one aspect about black ops I like.
I never finished Black Ops, not because it was hard but because it was boring. As was MW3. I think it’s time this series took a break and came back with something fresh, judging on the way MW3 was done, BO2 will just be a carbon copy of the first game.
another copy an pasted title form treyarch
At least it will be a good copy/paste and not MW3 bullsh*t.
Hopefully Treyarch adds some actual new features that freshen the game up, instead of taking the MW3 route with Black Ops 2. I really liked playing BOps, and I hope that this game is as fun as the first. Oddly, I don’t really care about Zombies, I must be one of the few that doesn’t care about zombie modes. What I liked the most about Black Ops was playing HC: S&D with friends and the custom playercards. If Black Ops 2 expands on those 2 things and makes them even better, I am in. My idea for the playercards is to let us save our creations so that we have multiple playercards saved somewhere, instead of having to create or re-create a playercard and more layers couldn’t hurt. For HC: S&D they need to modify the damage, if someone shoots me in the foot 1 time I should not die. Do those things and this game should be great. Make a copy/paste of Black Ops 1 and it will fail because we already have Black Ops 1, give us 2, not 1 or 1.5.
I’m with you on the zombies. I’m just not into it. I also like that idea about the playercards. Black Ops 2 will probably break more records when it releases, but it probably will see sales taper off even more so than MW3 if it is a copy/paste.
