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.

I'm a little confused on what you are actually going to be fighting against. I watched the trailer and couldn't tell but does anyone know if you are going to be shooting at people or machines, or both?

iToXiC Not sure if anyone here has played Star Wars: Battlefront 2 back on the original Xbox, or PS2, but this looks just like this with more of a CoD twist on it.
I personally loves BF2, as it was my first original xbox game, so this might be a great one as well.
Actually I Played It For PS2 And Xbox And Love It... And Your Kinda Right...

I'm kind of happy to say there is some variation on the Call of Duty series now, but from those shots it just looks like Halo :(
