Details We Can Gather From the Black Ops 2 Trailer

As of the first of May, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 was officially confirmed and its trailer was released officially to the public during the NBA playoffs (though it was leaked earlier through proxies in its UK site but that was taken care of in its early stages).

A New Mode in Black Ops 2 Can Effect Your Single Player Campaign.

These days, making choices in a video game and having that affect the outcome isn't too rare. However, it is a change of pace for a Call of Duty title.

Recently a source from Target emailed IGN an interesting image. An image of a Target pre-order card confirming both the title and the release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. The release date is confirmed as November 13th of this year. Which is odd [...]

Activision Buys the Rights to BlackOps2.com

Just recently, according to this article on Joystiq, Activision, has bought BlackOps2.com via the use of a proxy. Fusible (a technological news website) did some detective work on the acquisition of the site's URL. Now early last year, Activision bought up Black Ops domains last year from Black Ops 1 through Black Ops 6 through a brand protection company called MarkMonitor. Black Ops 2 however, was already secured.
While this doesn't guarantees that Black Ops 2 is 2012's Call of Duty, it does mean that MarkMonitor is under orders to protect the brand for the future [...]
