Earlier this week, Activision finally came clean and unveiled the name and setting of the next Call of Duty title being developed by Black Ops makers Treyarch.

I though the trailer was amazing! I can’t wait for this new game!
I honestly hated the new trailer. The game itself looks cool but as for the trailer… In my opinion it was too short. They put a lot of new things in the game which look cool but I kind of want to just play CoD if you know what I mean.
I am still not sure how I feel about it to be honest. I love the graphics and the gameplay looks promising but the setting?…I guess we’ll see come November time.
Awesome! i love the futuristic design. and i hope they add in quickscoping :D
Yeah, who won?…
So who won?……………..
i am looking forward for it !!!!
i am 48 years old but call of duty is the best fps !!!
Somebody Call My Momma! I need money to pre-order this game!!!
I was hoping to get MW3 a few weeks ago but something came up and now this is a great opportunity! The Black Ops 2 trailer was amazing and hopefully nothing will stand in its way for GAME OF THE YEAR!!! PS3 FTW!!!
Black Ops 2 might be the best selling game of the year, that is if they hold GTA V back. Nonetheless, COD is still a big time player!
Good to see them continuing with this series. Let’s just hope they keep getting better and don’t take a step backwards. The trailer points in the right direction but we’ll have to wait and see.
Anticipating Black Ops 2 is one of the major things I am going to be doing this fall. I really like the trailer and I can’t wait to see what they do with it. The graphics I am sure are going to be better because if they aren’t I might pick up MoH instead XD
Black Ops was fun for me and from the trailer, it looks like Black Ops 2 will be even better. I really hope they give console gamers dedicated servers instead of the distributed server hosting :P That is my major request haha. It looks cool though!
What have they addressed on the following with Black Ops 2?;
1) Lag compensation that penalizes a player with a blazing connection or can be exploited via lag switches. When what you see on the screen in real time as a player only slightly resembles the kill cam, what fun is that? How is this addressed in BO2 or is it just propagated? Is this too hard for the high caliber of programmers at Treyarch? … seriously….
2) Randomizing the spawn algorithm to minimize spawn camping. This is just basic game-play consideration. How has this been addressed in BO2 or again, did they pass the buck?
3) Cheaters, hacks and boosters… Infinity Ward & Treyarch have let down the average legit player. Why can’t we just play a game the way it was intended? Aim-bots, damage cheats, etc, etc…. is it really that hard to pin down your coding? What are they doing to keep control?
The multi-player mode is were the game’s longevity comes from… I’ll trade the current state of graphics if you can fix the above… I will be playing on 11-13-12… Thanks
I wish the graphics in the new game were better, sort of like Uncharted 3 because those graphics are AMAZING! They honestly should be able to do a little better, but so far it looks like a pretty good game just based on the trailer.
They should probably enhance the graphics a little more in Black Ops 2. The detail is good but it just seems to be a little blurry at times. Also, they should do a little bit of a better job in lip syncing so that you can read the persons lip and get an idea of what they are saying. Other than that, it looks (keyword “looks”) outstanding!
I like the new trailer!! I’m so excited for black ops 2! :)
The trailer is okay.It’s going to be hard for me to pick up Black Ops over MoH. Can’t wait to see what they do witht the weapons though.
Can’t wait for this Black Ops 2 release. It’s going to be something special!
I really think they went the wrong way on this one… There are so many wars they could have used instead of a “2020 Cold War.” But then again, that is just my measly opinion. Hopefully the one from Infinity Ward will be a different war that has happened already or is happening. All we can do is hope people. Right?
They better bring dolphin diving back :) The trailer was okay but I think they could have added some more information. I love leaks that companies put out early. MW3 looked like a pretty cool game too, but I never got a chance to buy it.
The trailer was BEAST! If you guys haven’t seen the video that FPSRUSSIA did for Black Ops 2, you should!
The trailer stinks, I don’t want to get the new game because it seems too “futuresque.” I do, however want MW3 because of the reviews and it seems cool :D
Nice cover lol. Just say because it is free. Anyways, the trailer is not too bad just hope there is not too much lagging on their servers as well as enhanced graphics.
I thought the trailer was cool but I can’t wait to actually see what they do with it!
The Black Ops 2 trailer was on one hand a pleasant suprise with the change in timeframe, yet also a disappointment. I was hoping for a huge improvement in the games engine and graphics, something on the level of Frostbite 2. The graphics have not aged well.
Just like Black Ops everyone was hating because they didn’t understand why the ones who play COD would continue to buy and play these games. Well for the most part we love the multi-player experience that COD gives us. Not only does the killcam give your enemy the opportunity to re-live the knife to the face, the semtex, when fired from across the map and lands on your red lettered enemy, he screams for dear life. The trash talking has been brought to a whole new level, especially after you take the dignity from one of you enemies and he can’t help but yell out ” g** d&*( ” It’s just pure fun. Play it. Catch my bullets. Feel what my enemies feel. Later. See you in the final killcam in Black Ops 2 sucka!!!!
I don’t usually have high expectations for Call of Duty, but it looks like they could have something pretty interesting on their hands this time. The updates to zombies sound great, and if the trailer is any indication, this branching story they’re talking about should be pretty cool as well. I’ve always liked the Treyarch games much better than the IW ones.
BO2 looks pretty cool, I think I might pick it up on launch day because I would have pre-ordered it :D It seems like a good game anyway…
The trailer looks pretty cool! I can’t wait to see what happens in the story because the Black Ops 1 story was very good in my opinion. I really wish I had MW3 so I could play with my friends :-)
Black Ops was cool, I agree with tons of other people about that. For some weird reason I hope they include some aspects of stealth because that is super amazing (kind of like Splinter Cell). Anyway, the trailer was pretty radical and explosiony as always. Seems like a pretty good game overall, I might want to pick it up.
Black Ops was a great game! I don’t know who else plays zombies here but that was AMAZING. The trailer looks cool so hopefully we can get a good game out of this. I haven’t picked up MW3 yet so maybe I will be able to get this version from these guys over here :D Can’t wait for Black Ops 2!
Treyarch had a good thing (partially) with black ops. This trailer looks pretty cool so I am hoping that something cool will come out of it instead of some unbalanced guns XD
It looks great, seems like it’s shaping up to be the CoD I’ve wanted for the past 3 years. Loved the trailer.
Treyarch is my second favorite developer, and they’ve really only let me down by not including a co-op campaign in Black Ops. It doesn’t seem like there will be one here, but I haven’t given up faith yet. Here’s to a hopefully great game! *cheers*
I did not like the trailer I do not think they have been changing anything besides guns, kill-streaks, and time frame and I will not be buying the next cod. I think that Actvision needs to ship up or ship out and stop milking the community for all its worth I also think the cod series has been on a down slope since cod 4 and that they really need to listen to the community and fix what needs to be fixed such as: Lag compensation, spawn logic, match making and much more. Activision has consistently lied to its community and hasn’t followed up on any feedback. So instead of buying black ops 2 I will be buying Halo 4 which to my opinion looks much more fun, better, and like they have put more time into it. I also urge anybody that is not sure about buying call of duty black ops 2 to make sure they absolutely don’t because seriously whats going to be different besides some new matchmaking options new guns a new poorly done 4 hour campaign a couple new kill-streaks and some new perks. So if there is anyone out there please spread the word to not buy this game because of Activision’s lack of improvements.
The trailer, in my opinion, was mediocre. It could have been better and I am disappointed in what the company is doing with the series in general.
Agreed. I think they should focus on one series (Modern Warfare or Black Ops) instead of going back and forth. The problem is that one might like something in Modern Warfare 3 but for story purposes it might not be in Black Ops 2, thus leading to disappointment among some gamers.
The trailer looks cool and all but I don’t really want to see the possible 8 player zombies :( But, the trailer looks cool so it’s all good :3
This game really looks cool and it actually looks like it is shaping up to be something completely different, I mean how many other CoDs are in the future? I hope i win :3
Black Ops 2 is something very different to all the other cods well at least it looks like it but i think they
went in the wrong direction with this one. How did they go from Black Ops being in the 60′s to Black Ops 2 being in the 2020′s? They could’ve used other wars for example like Vietnam that would’ve been cool. But that’s just my opinion.
It was OK I guess, its not on the top of my lists to get, but it is somewhat good. It could have been better though.
Looks pretty sweet. I never plaid the first one, but i played the other COD series up to the original Modern Warfare. I guess they are basically the same, but that’s the company’s niche. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, right? I am sure the game will do well. Wouldn’t mind playing it.
I Absolutely Loved the Black Ops 2 trailer, I think it will be one of the best games from Call of Duty To come out, All I have to say is “ROBOTS” Its going to have mother f*ckin Robots What more can I say? What more is necessary?
zomg looks like Ghost Recon Future Soldier 12, or Call of Duty: Halo Edition! Can’t wait! Been boycotting COD series since the last Black Ops and I was the number one TWL North American 1v1 player back in 2008 for a few months until I got busy with work and school. Will be skipping this one again (they are all the same).
I tried commenting earlier, but I don’t think it was going through. If it did, and I just don’t see it, I apologize for the duplicate post. But I was stating that the game looks really cool! I just wish they would have shown more actual game play, but I definitely want to buy it!
The trailer looks super cool!
I think Black Ops 2 will be a very good game maybe even better than the first one, the trailer is somewhat impressive gimmicky at a point but still attention getting. The advanced technology I think will make the game even more fun, I wonder how it will all play out. Nevertheless I cant wait for the game to come out.
It looks awesome! Cant wit to see/play the final product :)
I’m not a huge fan of the Black Ops series of COD. The Modern Warfare Series is more like my cup of tea
I love the trailer, it look’s very intresting and creativley made by treyarch. I Would Love to win it because all my friends say its a wonderful game to play on ps3 (mw3) In My Opinion The Best Part Of Black Ops 1 was when they introduced zombies it was a banging game to play and never got boring!
Looks interesting. I’d definitely play it if I won it!
Clearly you shouldn’t win because you did not read the article nor watch the video.
Hello! The video is on black Ops 2 and the prize is Modern Warfare 3. The game is rated M for mature which gives the assumption that you are at the very least able to read
Futuristic games…you can polish a turd, but it still is a turd. It looks like MAG.
Lets hope it is as good as it looks in the video
It looks cool! I can’t wait to see what they do with it.
Black Ops1 was great and I loved the fact that they had said they are going to include zombies because that was one of my fav parts. The trailer looks fantastic!
I honestly just hope that the game will have a character-driven campaign and not one only based on the appeal of explosions and big machines. My greatest hope for the games is Treyarch’s zombies mode that they included in their first Black Ops, and how they might incorporate some of the campaigns futuristic theme into the zombie gameplay.
I hate the trailer, WE ALL THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD. If you played the previous, you would know who we are talking about xD Otherwise it seems like a solid video game.
It better be easier to head shoot them n00bs. And the trailer looks pretty radical, I hope they make the game fun.
I wasn’t able to buy MW3 so I really want it and I hope that this contest is still on. The trailer to Black Ops 2 looks just like another CoD game but this time set in the future. They had better get something right because I am sick of all of this repetition!
Agreed the only thing that is a major change in this game from the last is the time frame which doesn’t even really flow well with the CoD series.
I can’t wait to see what they do with the new technology. It looked like they had some sort of xray? The helicopter with the 4 rotators looks cool too. Treyarch had not make this flop because they need to redeem themselves from black ops 1.
I do not know if your contest is already over, but I think CoD BO2 is going to be a modern halo, not to futuristic but some years ahead of now. The reason im entering a contest is because I come from a poor family, and cant afford many high end games, such as CoD or Twisted Metal. I still have CoD WaW! This game isnt the newest, but it will be appreciated. I hope this didnt end yet.
like it and can’t wait to play!
I am actually excited for call of duty black ops 2. Treyarch was creative with call of duty black ops and even the campaign was amazing. I want to see how black ops 2 turns out. And can’t wait to see what they do for zombies, counting the days until its released.
I played through Black Ops 1 but haven’t gotten a chance to play MW3. The trailer looks pretty cool, but kind of predictable. Hence the name, Activision better pull off something wicked or I will make them die in a hole! Not really but I would honestly be sad if they just butchered the CoD series AGAIN.
I am sick of Activision sticking with the same formula! I wish for once that they would come up with something original and inventive. maybe that is what this new game will be… all we can do is hope, right?
I HOPE you dont buy it dude looks the same to me.
As many people have said before me, the 2025 setting seems very interesting. I can’t wait to see what they do with it!
Hubby says the video and graphics look great!
I prefer Modern Warfare 3, but then again you can’t judge a book by its cover, right?
well, unlike most players i play the campaign atleast twice and i wanna know how the hell woods survived! lookin forward to the 80s coldwar link to the 2025 new coldwar.lol
It looks cool, but we all know what Call of Duty games look like…
Better than the original and that says something
Hmm. This trailer looks good. it was cinematic, it provided us with what appears to be a glimpse at the story line, while showing us some gameplay. In regards to gameplay, i hope those mechs and advanced UAV are perks in the online multiplayer. . . To be honest I only played some of Black Ops single player story and haven’t touched a MW game since mw2. to me mw3 seemed like it was just the same type of gameplay nothing really new, which is why i went with Battlefield 3. Now recently another shooter went into Open Beta that game being Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. Having played some online multiplayer and seen their trailers, Single Player Campaign, and Ghost Recon: Alpha Movie that’s on G4, it makes me wonder if Black Ops 2 will feel like a Clone to Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. It probably wont be knowing how flashy their campaigns tend to be. To wrap up, those exciting tools you put on display, while cool and enticing, seem overshadowed by another game. This trailer just isn’t enough to convince me to purchase this game. You have a while until release day. Here’s hoping you can release something that’ll garner my attention.
I had thought they had gone as far as they could with all these FPS. How many different variants do we need?
I don’t like where it was trying to go. It feels a bit like they are trying to mash some Halo, Gears of War, and Crysis games all into the CoD family.
How are you going to notify the winners? I hope its via email…
I liked the last Black ops, hopefully they dont get too crazy with the futuristic guns.
it seems really weird to see a new black ops. I don’t know why, but it just does haha
Black Ops 2 hmmm? I NEVER saw that coming (sarcasm)! How long was this rumoured for, like 2 months after MW3 came out? Yeah exactly, activision needs to get on the ball and stop letting things leak. As for the game itself, it is taking an interesting twist but where will they go after this? hmmm…
I have always liked the call of duty series and this one will hopefully be no exception to that. Zombies supposedly will have 8 people which will be AMAZING!
I am kind of indifferent to it, how many more CoD games are we going to get? It seems like they come out with one every day and it is always for $60! I am not made of money here people! XD
I thought the trailer looked really cool and I can’t wait to see what the game is going to be. I haven’t picked up MW3 yet so I really hope I win :)
Interesting.. on the one hand – it’s another call of duty. How many can they and still make such a profit? On the other, what they’ve already got does look very impressive. I think they went a little overboard with the mecs – just 13 years in the future? I don’t think so. But the Flying gun bots – that’s more like it. I am happy they have finally done a ‘future’ version. they’ve been too stuck in the past. I’m sure it will be stupidly successful, sticking with a tried and tested model. We’ll see!
It’s awesome. I love how it shows some of the gameplay in the trailer. I wonder if it will blow Halo 4 away? It should. I can’t wait for the game to come out. When it shows the guy holding the M16, it shows a stream of light in the background. It probably indicates that there is going to be zombies definitely (mystery box).
Liked it, didn’t love, didn’t hate….Wish it showed more gameplay….However we’ll probably see more during E3 this year. I’m on the fence of how I feel about the 2025 setting…Treyarch should knock it out of the park…
this trailer is epic i cant wwait for this game i am going to kill those zombies and play the story mode and prestige all over this game. this is going to be the best epic game of all time. i love you call of duty allways and for ever <3. plz keep doing what you doing and i love all the trailers :D i keep watching the trailer over and over and over again and i show my friends the trailer and say wow the best trailer the story mode is the best. but too tell you the truth its epic as hell <3 love you call of duty <3 your biggest fan.
As always, it will bi the biggest ame of the year in sales and everything. I just hope they allow KB/M in the PS3…
I don’t know about being the “biggest game of the year” because it does get repetitive at times. They can only do so much to rise from the point they have already reached. And with GTA V on the horizon, there’s no way this is game of the year by any means.
I thought the trailer looked pretty cool with the futuristic stuff, but the plot looks like it’s going to be even more convoluted than the original Black Ops.
Looks amazing and prophetic! Even made it on CNN…
begging,its damn bad but later it feels great about the game
Doesn’t look like it will have much Black Op sneaking, but it’s a COD game so you pretty much know what your buying. I do enjoy them though.
well to start off I was already expecting black ops 2, already suspecting, but when I saw this trailer I was blown away, seeing mason in all of his old manliness, The futuristic weapons and vehicles are quite unique
and not the kind of weapons we see in a lot of futuristic game, no laser guns or air ships that shoot plasma cannons, basically, the game is a kind a future that you can see I future being one day,
Every COD has its critics. Bottom line the game sells and is popular. I will complain, I will also ending playing the game and being happy. I like the new direction.
I think the trailer reminds me of Homefront. The difference is that everyone will buy Black Ops 2 on day one. With all the complaints the games are still great fun and that’s why we play. I am excited just like everyone else.
Love it!
I think its great by going futuristic, and its treyarch, last blackops was the best and the trailer for the new one look really nice cnt wait !!! I would love a copy of MW3 becauseni till play blackops rightnow
I wonder why they always release the same game! I mean come on who are you fooling?!?! Call of duty was awesome back in the day. Now its another Nintendo brand (repeat, repeat, etc…)
Hey there!,
I am absolutely stoked to see the new call of duty come out in november. I just wish it was sooner. I thought the trailer pinpointed exactly where gaming is going and I love the modern idea behind it. I only have black ops 1 and seeing the newest version of it gets me even more amped. #gameoftheyear?
took a turn for the worst?
I love zombies Black Ops 2 can hopefully beat the first one!
personally i think that they have gone too technical and high tech with it but i like what they did with the first blackops but i really want Mw3 cause i like it the best out of all of the call of duties
Thank You
vincent
I personally am a bit skeptical about the new direction that Treyarch has taken with CoD. I’m not a huge campaign player anyway so I’m more excited to see what changes await in multiplayer and zombies!
lol
Honestly, I was thrown a curve but the future is great with me!
I love the CoD franchise and this new one looks fantastic!
I really liked the trailer. Can’t wait to play the game and see all the futuristic stuff
I can’t wait for that mini flying hover craft thingy! It looks super cool.
I’m hoping this steers more towards a fantastical shooter then a grounded in reality one. There’s a lot more things you can do with the future.
What the girl in pink leather riding a motorcycle has to do with CoD is beyond me. hehe. The trailer looks enticing with hints of Terminator backdrop to it. I do like the PoV on Horseback, that was pretty cool. I wonder if that’s going to be playable as opposed to a cut scene.
The trailer is awesome! The attention to detail and the graphics are sick. Totally can’t wait to play.
Looks pretty awesome. Love the new vehicles. I’m ready to get it on.
Love it, looks new and futuristicy (sorry again if I posted too much, but I’m having trouble with your clunky login :<)
