As of now, their is not much news. What we do know at this time is that there is defiantly a Call of Duty 9 being worked on, and it is defiantly going to be a Treyarch game. How do we know this? Well for starters, their has been a new Call of Duty every year for more than 5 years, and if Infinity Ward made the last one the Treyarch will be making the next one. Also, it has basically been confirmed by David Vonderhaar (Treyarch Game Design Director)

There is not much information here yet as not much has actually been CONFIRMED

In this section, I will be discussing all the current and past rumors for Black Ops 2. I would be posting it here because it would not yet be "fact". It will be fact when there is legitimate proof. (Confirmed by Officials, seen in trailers)

If proven correct, I will move to "News and Information" section. If proven false, I will write (FALSE) next to it.

Iron Wolf (FALSE)

The most common rumor about the next Call of Duty that was going around a few months ago was the "Iron Wolf" rumor. Many people believed that the next Call of Duty would be called Call of Duty: Iron Wolf. This, along with the Iron Wolf website, was proven FALSE by David Vonderhaar.

Official Call of Duty 9 Logo!

Here is the article:

Another Call of Duty: Black Ops leak! This time, it seems to be the official logo for Treyarchs upcoming Call of Duty title, Black Ops 2, including a potential release date for its debut trailer. Call of Duty 9 has suffered a number of leaks recently, including confirmation of its name, Black Ops 2, along with a release date as well as some multiplayer information that we got a hold of earlier. This time, YouTuber CoDInform was able to catch what looks to be Black Ops 2s logo which weve included above as the featured image. Three reasons it could possibly be legitimate: First, it looks professional; Second, it was removed from the official Call of Duty website upon discovery; Third, if you look at the date in this image, 04.28.12, it happens to be the exact date of two years earlier that the original Black Ops reveal trailer was released. On top of this, the original URL linking to this image read [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] , which happens to be a similar URL used for Modern Warfare 3 images: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . If it does turn out to be fake, at least this one was rather well researched. So, props to whoever created it. If it is real, expect a reveal trailer of Black Ops 2 this month on the 28th!

Remember - As of now this NOT confirmed - but it seems very convincing considering the image was actually on the Call of Duty Website (Now removed)

Reveal Trailer!

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Just like the official Call of Duty 9 logo, this so called "release date" came from (or is said to come from) the official Call of Duty website, but was not yet meant to be discovered. Link here: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] And it is said to be removed upon discovery. It is not yet known if it actually did come from that link, but many people believe it is. As soon as we find out if it is true or false, I will update this.
