Black Ops 2 domain back in Activision’s grasp

4.6
Activision seems committed to a yearly Call of Duty, and with 2011's Modern Warfare 3 under its belt, it's time to start looking towards the future. While nothing has officially been revealed just yet, new information has it sounding more likely that we may see a revisit to the Call of Duty: Black Ops series in the near future, which makes sense, what with the game making over a billion dollars since it released in 2010.
Fusible reports that Activision has recently registered the domain name blackops2.com, adding fuel to the speculative fire surrounding the next Call of Duty game. Well, Activision didn't actually purchase it directly, they did so through MarkMonitor, a service used by major companies to acquire domain names. A few months back the publisher picked up blackops3, blackops4, blackops5, blackops6, through MarkMonitor, but was unable to get blackops2 for some reason. It would appear that whatever was in the way has now moved aside (likely thanks to a large check with lots of 0s), as the publisher now owns the domain and can do with it whatever it wants. We're guessing that it's going to eventually put a website on there with a countdown clock that will countdown to a tease for a release date of the first trailer, which will actually only tease a longer trailer to be debuted at a later date, but that's just our guess.
There's always the chance that it is just securing the domain names just in case, but we'd be quite surprised if Activision didn't return to the Black Ops universe in the sooner than later.

For all these people saying black ops took skill, be quiet because that game is easy as shit. Cod4 took skill, but every cod has their flaws, What treyarch and infinity ward need to be doing is instead of trying to reinvent the game everytime, stick with the **** basics. I miss the old 3-5-7 kill streaks and the perks were set up so the game was balanced, In my opinion waw and cod4 were the most balanced cod's even though they still had overpowered perks in weapons.

-Pix- everybody who says blackops sucked has no reason. your just jumping on the bandwagon with everyone else. There is nothing wrong with the sniping. at all. Your just mad that you cant play it hours on end TRYING to quickscope. Video games werent necessarily made for you no lifes who play for 6 or 7 hours at a time.


No Quickscoping is one of the reasons why Black Ops sucks, but not the main one.
May I mention that the Black Ops engine is literally an updated WaW engine. The guns are horribly unbalanced, the game has a bad "feel" to it, and its ridiculous easy. What happened to the good 'ol days of Quake where you actually kill people with precision rockets and guns? Whether you like it or not, developers are now making games marketed to casuals whatsoever. You probably think Skyrim is great too (SPOILER ALERT: its not).

All the cods use the same engine, although they slightly upgrade it. And Skyrim is great, so go away troll

Nicasus Treyarch should just stop making CoD games, and start making Zombies games.


they introduced the theatre feture (never seen before),cod points,gold camos on every weapon exept pistols..i don't think they need to stop making games..


Never Seen Before????
ARE YOU STUPID?
Everything you mentioned has been done before.
i.e. gold weapons had been done for yearsss by the modding community. Halo had theatre before cod. cod points? lmfao, FPS's have had currency way before black ops.
I think you need to stop commenting.


He was talking about the COD series for theater mode calm down keyboard warrior.

Lets just hope Black Ops 2 wont be another "lets all use the overpowered AK74u". -_-

I feel as all of the new Call Of Duties starting off from Call of Duty 4, have been redundant. I had a lot more fun playing Call of Duty, 2 , and 3. I can tell you, I am not looking forward for any of the future Call Of Duties.
