Black Ops 2: Zombies!
All right, now let take a look into Zombies! Treyarch has officially confirmed that Zombies will make a comeback and it is going to be bigger and better than ever.
First of all, Zombies will have more game modes aside from the standard round modes that we have seen in World at War and Black Ops. There also going to be specific tasks and objectives to complete in these levels this time around.
Speaking of levels, this is one area where Zombies is getting a major overhaul. They are creating whole new worlds for zombies, massive ones. According to Mark, the whole Treyarch team has put a lot of effort and imagination into Zombies

More Black Ops 2 Gameplay info:
Alright! I know why you all are here so let's dive straight into it!
As always, Treyarch is really tight lipped about revealing anything about the multiplayer at this moment. They always like to tease people with the official multiplayer trailer which sadly for us, is not out yet. But, in an interview with Machinima, Mark Lamia the Studio Head at Treyarch mentioned some interesting details.
Mark mentioned that they are really building Black Ops 2 Multiplayer from the ground up. They do not plan on adding to the existing framework of Black Ops but, intend to redefine it. He mentioned that players can expect to see them to "push the boundaries of the multiplayer

Black Ops 2 is getting close to its launch date, 13th November 2012, and this time around Treyarch is pulling all the stops! The game has already broken pre-order records and has surpassed pre-order records for Modern Warfare 3 by 30% according to Amazon.com. Wow!It is obvious that the same old engine is not stopping anyone from getting their hands on this installment. Well, we had been hearing news of all the new gameplay elements that they planned on putting in this game but, this E3 we finally got to see a sneak peak of it.
I was really impressed with the single player campaign in Black Ops and this time they plan on making it bigger and better. The story is a direct continuation from Black Ops and is going to be split into two eras - the cold war in the 1980's and the cold war in the near future of 2025. We will be taking the role of Alex Mason during the 1980's and as his son in 2025.
The cool thing about the split time frame is that we will actually get to see

If you weren't at E3 2012 this year then you probably missed the 140 foot wide trailer, but don't worry we got you covered:
http://kotaku.com/5916468/wow-this-140+foot+wide-call-of-duty-trailer-is-incredibleThe resolution on this trailer was 6336x720. Pretty intense and definitely had people stopping in their tracks to check it out.
The trailer was mostly a collection of footage many people had already seen, but shows you the length in which publishers go to grab your attention over their competition.
Think the trailer is widescreen enough?

See some new Black Ops 2 footage by clicking here:
http://kotaku.com/5915552/black-ops-2-blows-up-e3-and-los-angeles-in-new-gameplay-footageThis footage was released on June 4th at Microsoft's E3 2012 Press Conference and places emphasis on the varied gameplay that will be available throughout the campaign mode.
With the inclusion of 2 new vehicle weapon systems and an sniper rifle that can shoot enemies through cover there is a lot more to do than simply running down a single path and taking out enemy forces.
Black Ops 2 puts the player in a continuing timeline from Black Ops 1, but also jumps into the future allowing the developers to make interesting gameplay elements with brand new future weapons. It will be interesting to see how those future weapons will play out in competitive setting like classic Free For All over Xbox Live. A weapon that can shoot

Gaming Controllers, Which Console Design is #1?
No doubt over the years we have seen companies like Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo as the frontrunners in gaming, change their controllers or make new ones to help feed this era of technology driven individuals. After stumbling upon an article about which controller is the best, it came down to the Xbox 360 controller and the PS3 controller.
Over many years of trying to remodel their controllers, I do sincerely agree that the Xbox 360 and the PS3 controllers are the best that the market has to offer as of late. Which one is better, is

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. According to this article at Joystiq it seems that during the single player campaign of Black Ops 2, you will be given a handful of "Strike Force" missions to take care of. When one is chosen, others will be unavailable and later replaced with fresher missions. These missions

FPSRussia Teases COD with an Explosive Video
While the next Call of Duty teaser site still counts down to its May 1st unveiling, Activision finds other ways to tease the next COD title. Using the gun-totting obviously-using-a-fake-Russian-accent Youtube celebrity FPSRussia (formerly named FPSKyle), they managed to show us one of the new weapons in the upcoming Call of Duty game. In his newest video, FPSRussia demonstrates a "Prototype Quadrotor," and uses the attached machine gun to shoot down

A Source from Target Shows Black Ops 2's Release Date
With so many leaks about Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, you could swear that its release is no longer a rumor, but rather confirmed news. From leaks from outside sources and teasers from Activision, I think we can all agree, Black Ops 2 is coming.
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 since it's about one week after the release of Halo 4.
Which
