Call of Duty: Black Ops 2: What we know thus far
But that's not all! The site also unveiled the game's box art, which depicts a pensive gentleman holding a handgun and a hunting knife – we'd love to tell you he's Mason or Woods' son or something like that, but we couldn't glean that from the shot. Beyond that, a tipster this morning sent over four screens of the game itself that were apparently snagged from the site's backend (the images section of the site has been stripped of any images for now). As the screen above indicates, drones seem to play some role in Blops 2 – teased less than a week ago by ... uh ... this crazy YouTube video.
There's also a debut trailer, albeit one that Acti still has set to private, which we're guessing will roll tonight during the NBA playoffs. What can we tell from the still thumbnail is that you'll either be watching someone else pilot a heli through Los Angeles or taking the reins yourself (it's unclear from the image). Either way, we're totally psyched at the idea of destroying the site of E3 from a helicopter. Retribution, finally!
Finally, the site's pre-order page only lists options for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC, seemingly eschewing the variety of other platforms that previous Call of Duty games launched on. It is of course possible that Acti is holding other platform announcements for the future, which, ya know, would be pretty synergistic considering the game's future setting.

That's awesome news. It looks very similar to Halo ODST from my perspective, but I can live with that. As long as it's something new and it's going to keep us Call of Duty fans entertained.

Dispatch I like how people complained about Treyarch, But now everyone's hating on Infinityward! Ive been a Treyarch fan for a while and don't plan on stopping!dude no one is hating infinityward. they make great games. treyarchs games are good but they have a lot of problems and theres so many camping spots for noobs. i hope black ops 2 gets some more skill into the game.
