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.

Looks more like Staw Wars than Call of Duty. I like Cal of duty's campaigns beause there not like Star Wars, and Halo.

Some years ago, I'd laugh but nowadays this seems true
Both companies just reuse an older game engine in which they put "copied" stuff from their competition (eg. Halo - Armor abilities, custom loadouts etc, CoD- theater mode and now the sci-fi warfare story)
The city in the first pic looks almost similar to New Mombassa from H3: ODST and so does the soldier who looks like and ODST

i don't think the online multiplayer will be as good but the zombies storyline could work really well being set in the future.

Wait so will Call of Duty Black Ops 2 be set in the "future" I still can't figure it out?
But by those screen shots it sure looks like it.
And that guys helmet does look like the Halo one.
