Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Revealed, First Trailer and Details

The cat is out of the bag folks, the next Call of Duty has been revealed to be Black Ops 2. The game will take place about 20 years after the original Black Ops, set in a 21st century Cold War setting. As we’ve seen with the recent pictures on the official site, the game will feature futuristic weaponry, a first for the series. More evidence of this can be seen within the first few screenshots that were leaked earlier today (see below). Call of Duty fans, enjoy the trailer below and you can count on us to be focusing heavily on the campaign for Black Ops 2.

[NYC_Gamer]

That trailer did catch my attention to be honest

[Crazyglues]

I'm sorry to say it, but that engine is looking old as hell now... Wow.. *_*

Can you say dated... I know that won't stop COD fans but I'm going to have to pass..

I mean if you still like it, more power to you I'm not going to hate on your game, but wow I have never seen a new game look so old.

That game engine needs an overhaul bad.. What is Activision thinking.

[Shaman]

It is dated, but it doesn't look all that bad. Its 60fps game after all...

[Winter47th]

You have to be kidding me with those graphics, 2007 is WAAAY behind us god dammit.

But I do love the setting.

Future Nazi Zombies yay. Gary Oldman should reprise his role as an AI or someshit.

[HammadTheBeast]

@Shaman

Tons of games do 60 fps, but Call of Duty is sticking to its dated engine because:

1. It knows it can get money out of people, if the hardcore gamers don't play it, the casuals and kids will.

2. It's an engine that's easy to work with, the Sledgehammer Games president said himself that it's a simpler engine compared to other ones.

3. Why bother? It's been years and it's worked, plus the generation of gaming is too fixed right now to start making a new one, and it would cost them money (barely a dent though) and time.

This engine was great 5 years ago with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, but at the moment it's mediocre at best compared to others out there.

[Shaman]

Ok...Care to show me other 60fps FPS out there looking better?

[-Alpha]

^

Though it's nothing like it, Wipeout HD

[PRHB HYBRiiD]

True...the graphics in some parts of the trailer look like wii graphics looks closely.

[HammadTheBeast]

@Shaman again:

God of War 3. There. Your argument is rendered completely invalid. With the amount of amazing graphics that God of War can produce, along with all the stuff going on, Call of Duty has no excuses.

More games? Rage. Crysis 2.Forza 4. Hell, even Mario Kart 7. Anything else?

Also look at the explosions and effects. Even in a trailer, everything looks sub par.

I can bet you all $50 that the crane model in the trailer was the same one used in basically half the Call of Duty maps,(Hardhat, Highrise, some other one in CoD 4).

Doesn't mean it's a horrible game. But if they refuse to budge from the gamestyle they usually put in, it will most likely be horible.

The worst part is that they try to make it realistic, instead of using another art style.

Enough said.

[GraveLord]

We got 6-7 year old consoles out there. There really isn't much of a graphics improvement you can do without removing co-op and split-screen features.

The game looks amazing. Stop trolling. Not everything is about graphics.

The settings and story of the game alone means there's so much potential for the most impressive multiplayer yet.

[Tachyon_Nova]

@HammadTheOne, you have no idea what you are talking about. GOW3 runs at 30fps, they initially wanted 60 but couldn't get there. Crysis 2 frequently runs below 30fps, certainly never as high as 60fps on consoles.

To CoD haters, yes the graphics look very dated, but if you really cared about whether or not graphics look dated then you wouldn't have played a console game since 2007.

[Lazy_Sunday]

@Shaman

It's a Treyarch CoD game, Treyarch CoD games play at 'visceral' 60fps, or in layman's terms ~40fps on consoles.

[F7U12]

no thanks I'll be spending my time on ArmA 3, Planetside 2.

[vickers500]

@HammadTheOne

God of War 3 does not run at 60fps - http://www.psxextreme.com/p...
There may be "parts" of the game where it runs at 60fps, but only in the non action, puzzle solving parts, and only some of the time.

RAGE was worked on for freaking ever, in fact I think most of the time they actually spent on that game was making the engine.

Crysis 2 on consoles did NOT have 60fps. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Forza 4 I can't comment on, I haven't played it, but it's a racing game, racing games tend not to be very resource heavy.

Wipeout HD, read above.

Mario Kart 7 is a cartoony wii game.

Listen, I understand your hatred for Call of Duty, it's 100% deserved, but on some of those you're just outright lying, and on the others, fail to acknowledge the very specific conditions under which a high framerate was possible (racing games not having to handle as much as a multiplayer shooter, WAAYYYYY too much time being spent on an engine).

Now I'm not saying Activision aren't lazy, because they are, and I definitely believe that CoD could look a LITTLE bit better than it does now, but it seems kind of ignorant to assume that it would be easy to make the game look A LOT better, based on other game history (not a lot of 60fps shooters out there that look great).

[vickers500]

*correction

Mario Kart 7 is a cartoony "3ds" game.

[torchic]

@HammadTheOne

you're high as hell son. Crysis 2 runs at 30fps, sometimes lower, God of War III runs at a solid 30fps. Rage runs at 60fps but imo looks OKAY, nothing great. mind you this is on console, not PC.

the only notible mention in my honest opinion is Wipeout HD/Fury. I couldn't play that Wipeout on PSVITA because I was so used to the fluidity of the 60fps of HD on PS3.

I don't believe you got that many agrees!

[0neShot]

All these comments about the dated graphics are all idiots. Watch the screen captures in HD and it looks better than recently released games. Bf3 has a new engine but does it look better in consoles compared to this or mw3? absolutely not. Is there any console game out there that is miles better in graphics? No.

It's the hardware stupid, not the engine.

[Euthanasia78]

Ummmm, its dated because it's running on a console from 2005? COD is designed specifically for consoles. It's not a new engine, top of the line PC shooter. Its made for tech that came out 7 years ago. I think it looks fine for current hardware. It's not like it's trying to go against the newest Source engine on PC or something. Its a damn console game, and the consoles are many years old. I'm not saying it doesn't need a new engine, I'm saying it looks fine for this gen of hardware. It's not the best looking, but at 60fps it's not bad. Remember, its running on old tech. What do you expect?

[Drake117]

From that trailer it looks like we will be fighting a sh!t load of drones thats for sure. Like half the scenes had those little things in them.

[Electroshocked]

Someone on YouTube posted a comment stating the following:

''Black ops 2 is like

killzone 3 + BF3 + MW3 + BLACK OPS

HO MY GOD''

He's gotten 39 ''Thumbs Up'' so far. A lot of people that follow the Call of Duty franchise are just pure idiots.

Edit: I mean, I'm sure the game will be an alright game, but to compare it to Killzone 3 alone is ridiculous, let alone to compare it to Killzone 3 and BATTLEFIELD 3.

[irepbtown]

I dont like the setting. Never liked 'city' based maps, only if there were a few.

I prefered COD4, real outdoors firefights. Loved the story, loved the online, loved the maps.
All the other CODs have stuck to city based maps and story surrounding these big city's. Which in all honesty, makes it kind of dull.

Imagine if Black Ops 2 was set in maps kind of like the ones in COD4? Then I might consider the game.

Are they depicting this:
Modern Warfare 3 - World war 3??
Black Ops 2 - World war 4??

Did catch my attention but this whole WW story has to come out the building. Something new needs to step in. Unfortunately even BF3's story followed this route, however Multiplayer did make up for the shit Campaign.

[aCasualGamer]

Last gen visuals... no thanks.

[malol]

looking at the trailer and reading some comments in here
you guys are so easy to impress its just silly
i mean you cant even get a kid hyped this much for such unimpressive thing like that.

[omi25p]

Really? I thought it looked shocking. The graphics looked awful. The story seems dumb. How Activision can realease the same game 6 years running il never know.

The only way il buy another Cod is if they put it on a new, better looking engine.

[Chitown71291]

Guys c'mon be fair. This doesn't look bad. Graphically, yes it does look outdated. But everything else in this trailer looks pretty cool. For $60 , Call of Duty does offer a lot of features . You get single player, multiplayer, coop , zombie mode......and hell its fun with the right maps and surroundings. Modern Warfare 3 tho was just......f*cking horrible. But Treyarch actually look like their tryna bring something new to the table. And I actually like it.........The best COD's this gen, have been Call of Duty 4 and Black Ops......I think Black Ops 2 will deliver. I hope it does because it'll be the first one I'll consider buying since 4.

[Biggest]

Graphically it looks terrible. It also is a misleading trailer (as almost all of the CoD trailers are). How many vehicles and aircraft does one need to see before actually having them available in more than a single sequence? Don't show future tanks and carriers with future jets and stealth bombers if they won't be through out the game. Show the small corridors with camping bad guys because we all know that's what the game will actually have.

[ritsuka666]

OMGF!! Just shut up and take more of my money already Treyarch!

[thereapersson]

People like you are the reason the series continues to wallow in mediocrity.

Activision knows they can sell you CODroneys anything.

[Imikida]

... You're joking right?

[finbars75]

I agree.Im not a COD fanboy but this actually doesnt look like the COD franchise at all.Kind of looks like a new step in the right direction for the franchise.I do like how its directed into the future instead of the modern days for so many years.The graphics do look dated but at least there trying to mix it up.We will see how the fans of the franchise takes this new trailer since its something completely different.

[TekoIie]

So this is what happens when COD collides with Sci-fi?.... I have to admit.... Not that bad.

E3 will really decide whether this is a good idea for me. I cant believe people are trolling, they ask for a different game so COD goes to the future. Cant please some people...

[STONEY4]

Call of Duty: Human Revolution.

Seriously, what's with the gold colors? Looks like Treyarch has been playing a bit too much Deus Ex.

Although I'm glad they finally tried something new. Hopefully they reinvent the multiplayer formula that COD has been stuck on since 2007.

[iagainsti120]

This is basically Homefront, with lots of shiny bits. Way to stay original COD.

[MrBeatdown]

Agreed. Co-op mode aside, I wasn't a big fan of MW3, or Black Ops for that matter, but this looks like it could provide a nice level of freshness across the whole game. Being set in the future gives them a much greater level of creative freedom when it comes to things like perks or killstreaks.

I'm curious where this leaves Infinity Ward's next game. I figured the next logical step was Future Warfare, so I'm surprised Treyarch was allowed to make the jump first.

I'm not worried about the graphics, and I'm not sure why anyone else would be. We all know the series will get a massive upgrade for next-gen consoles. I'd rather see their tech guys working on delivering something really spectacular in fall 2013 with a launch title Call of Duty than see them waste their time trying to squeeze a little more out of six or seven year old hardware.

[PshycoNinja]

Not only are the graphics out dated but the gameplay and art direction look like they are all over the place. Seriously whoever was the art director on this game should be let go because one minute its all colorful and the next it's all bland. Animation goes from decent looking to horrible in a flash.

This game screams inconstant. First off how does this game take place 20 years after Black Ops? Black ops went all the way up to the 50's - 70's. This game takes place in 2025. How is that 20 years?

Second those graphics are just ugh. My classmates and I (4 programmers) can do better and they cant even do art that well.

The concept seems all over the place (We go from mechs to horses? Who thought that was fun?).

If you thought this looked good than more power to you but I recommend playing other shooters before you consider this anywhere near good.

Now with that said, if they can address all of the above then it could be a decent game.

[bobshi]

The game takes place in the 80s and 2025. Horses are in the 80s part.

That is also how you jump from the 60s to 2025.

[brodychet]

Interesting, at most.

[mewhy32]

Cant argue with a winning formula. They already have the best selling game of all time and this one will make them a mint as well. Probably will get this on Xbox for better graphics and online.

[Beahmscream]

Call of Duty: Black two the Future

[brodychet]

LMFAO.

[xCaptainAmazing]

This just seems to completely unravel anything I liked. Normally, I was rating the more modern era of the games like this:

1. CoD4
2. MW2 (Multi) / BO (Single)
3. WaW
4. MW3

I thought even though the story in BO wasn't original, it was pretty well executed and the historical fiction aspect was great.

But, now they've taken a turn off a cliff into weird land and appear to have completely lost sight of what the series is/was.

[Majin-vegeta]

I'm not buying unless they have these in there>:|!!
http://youtu.be/Pozlp_wnkRk

Edit:I'm still not buying.

[chriski333]

what the F$%K is this? i dont understand what happened,what did i just watch ? drones stealth planes, F&%king guys riding horses with futuristic guns? my head just started to hurt. this cant be real?

[LOL_WUT]

Yeah too much Terminator stuff going on robots, jets, futuristic weapons, choppers and horses. Meh

[Trunkz]

I called it. I knew when they ran things dry they would move into a 2142 style future, now they'll milk Future Warfare...

[Bobby Kotex]

I don't play COD and haven't played since the MW2 letdown, but at least this looks different. To the people complaining about graphics what the hell do you expect? It's not like your Xbox magically upgraded. I also play on PC, and consoles stumped PC graphics as well.

[Kaneda]

I saw a little improvement in graphics... but still behind from their main competitor _ _ 3... assuming the gameplay is the same as others COD...

[reznik_zerosum]

Hard-Core gaming here :

[LUCKYXS7LEVEN]

cool if they get the same feeling as COD 4 then by all means i'll drop 60 rocks but if i go and play the game at midnight and i see the same disaster as MW2,3, and BO online then i'm sticking with starhawk

[geddesmond]

Man that trailer sucked. The graphics are crap and I really ain't digging this whole future crap. Ah well theres still MOH this fall. COD fans enjoy.

[Kanzes]

You're equipped with a futuristic warfares but still riding a horses : / ?

[chaldo]

For some reason I thought of the uncharted 3 trailer when the horses part popped up xD

[Nitrowolf2]

yeah everything for me was fine...until the horses came. Made me lol

[-Alpha]

Not just any horses: futuristic horses! They probably shoot lasers out of their eyes, or comprehend the English language, maybe even sniff out enemy heartbeats.

[360GamerFG]

I expect so much more from your comments. That one just made you seem like. . .one of us. I'm Disappointed. :(

[LolololRumz]

It felt like they just mashed popular games together, some parts actually looked just like GTA IV

[ChipChipperson]

There could be a possibility that a part of the campaign might do what Black Ops did, with going back to the past in one level(Reznov). If that is the case, that part with the horses and seeing the Mi-24 fly over could be the Soviet Afghan War. You could be playing as a CIA operative(maybe an older Hudson) or an actual Mujahideen.

[rustyspoon80]

The horses are from flashbacks to the 80's. The story will have flashbacks ala Blops 1.
CVG has a massive feature on the game detailing all the modes. It sounds like Treyarch are actually implementing quite a few changes. Zombies will have 8 players and objectives in a full mode.

[aDDicteD]

same here. i didn't like the horse riding thing

[ReservoirDog316]

Could be because the robots turned against us? I don't know.

At least it doesn't look exactly like CoD4, mw2 and mw3.

[ThatKanadianKid]

AWESOME

[laidenstar]

It does look pretty dated graphically, but the military sci-fi aspects have me screaming "BUYBUYBUY!" with reckless abandon. Sadly.

[ThichQuangDuck]

It is unfortunate that it is a great scifi story that everyone wants to see in a game on an outdated engine, also a little ironic.

[TheGamingArt]

If this is on the Vita... I'll buy it. Otherwise, .... well... it's done for me.

[Muffins1223]

Technicly,this vita is between a ps2 and ps3.So that means it could run Black ops II at 30fps........

[aviator189]

I really don't want to buy into the hype again only to feel disappointed when the game come out, but the premise is certainly interesting for a Call of Duty game.

[Reborn]

Horses, that was totally unexpected.

Killsteak - Support Horses?

Well, you can tell the engine is indeed in need of a change. Does, kinda, look interesting though.

[Swiggins]

25 Killstreak - 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse, consider it the games version of a Tac-Nuke.

[Hufandpuf]

having hated the COD franchise since MW2. I can honestly say that this looks awesome. I would buy this. HOWEVER, the graphics hurt my eyes so much!

to clarify, I'm not touching the Multiplayer in this game. I'm sure that'll suck, but the SP looks interesting at least

Also, I hope DICE makes a BF2143 game. Hell BF2142 had better graphics than this

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[ExCest]

Exactly. This game has somewhat of an interesting story. Just that I don't and never will trust the Multiplayer ever again.

[SignifiedSix]

2142 have better graphics than this? Lmfao, good joke!

But i do want a 2143. Best battlefield in the series was 2142 IMO.

[Hufandpuf]

Nah, I think BF2 is the best in the franchise IMO. Not to many people play 2142 as much as bf2 now.

[J_Cob]

Yea, I hope DICE creates a BF3 2143 expansion like they did for Vietnam in Bad Company 2. Maybe after all the other expansions come out they'll do it. Even that dinosaur survival mode everybody wanted would be nice.

[TheFinalEpisode]

I was convinced I wasn't gonna buy this game but after seeing this I'm actually anticipating it now... I'm so gullible for epic music and awesome Tank Mechs :/

[SKUD]

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

[LUCKYXS7LEVEN]

but this one has a cat and a funky hat but set in the future

[Baka-akaB]

Since i dont care about cod so long as they dont try to evolve , i at least surprisingly raised my eyebrow enough to potentially borrow it and play the sp . But that's the extent of my "hype" thus far

[NIRVANArazor]

I am Buying D: me.. Buying a CoD game. What is the world coming too!!!! :'( *Hold Me*

[Skate-AK]

Judging by people comments they are way more interested in BO2 than they were in MW2.

[M1chl]

I kinda hate myself to say this, but...my hype level came from "don't care" to "I want this". Graphics looks dated but other than that, I have to say I like what I watched in the trailer.

[ShottySnipa417]

Why should you hate yourself? Because of what most other people think? If you want it, get it. Don't let other people influence you to buy a game or not. That's stupid.

[MattyG]

for someone with a trollface as their avatar, you sure do make alot of sense. +bubble for you good sir!

[torchic]

+1 for you man well said.

we don't get wise comments like yours on N4G very often.

[DarkPassenger]

Instead of improving upon, they just keep pumping them out. Unless they have done something about anti-cheating, I'm out for good this time.

[NIRVANArazor]

did you even watch it???

[TekoIie]

Trololololololol....

[ChunkyLover53]

I figured people would hate on the game no matter what the game looked like. I don't know what trailer some of you saw, but from the one I watched, it looked pretty darn good.

This is obviously console footage and I think it looks 5x better than the original Black Ops, which used a modified World At War Engine. I remember thinking that MW2 looked better than BO and it was a year older.

It looks like they are using a modified Modern Warfare Engine for Black Ops 2. Treyarch seems to be really inventive lately, they took us through the cold war in the last game and now we get a completely different setting that looks really slick.

People will hate, but I'm seeing a ton of positive reaction from even the biggest haters. I think this might be a pretty good entry. I think Treyarch has finally surpassed IW when it comes to quality.

Color me impressed, and I wasn't the biggest COD fan, and I don't buy every single one, but this one has my interest.

[BLow]

Man, it's a love hate relationship with me and COD, but PS3 users(regular) just got the first content drop and they're already announcing the next game. Crazy...Every year I tell myself that this will be the year that I'm not buying COD but some strange "force" makes me do otherwise..haha..Oh well, game on people and play whatever you enjoy.

[Angels3785]

OMG...this could be sooooooo much better with a NEW ENGINE!!!!!!!!!!

[supraking951]

so i multiplayer instead of a helicopter kill streak we'll get a futuristic airship that will do the same thing? Revolutionary

[Summons75]

Soooo Metal Gear Recon: Blops 2.....got it!

This is an example of why creativity is almost dead, shitty yearly game now ripping off good games while not upgrading or getting a new engine...*sigh* oh activision how you will never learn

[chobit_A5HL3Y]

learn what??? lolz they're progressively making more money with each new cod. if anything, it's the gamers who need to learn...

[Summons75]

your right, gamers need to learn how crap is. Tell me 5 things that call of duty did that was innovative after call of duty 4. The correct answer is nothing!

[Ascalon94]

hmm if this release on the Vita then I will get it otherwise, we will wait and see. I just want to know how this will carry over from black ops 1.

[BizDaWolf]

I don't know about this one.........I'm going to pass on this

[MattyG]

Yay Woods is in a nursing home! i was right! wait what? the Vault? what is this shit?! weird name for a nursing home but oh well the game looks awesome. now if we can fly those jets...

EDIT: also, i don't think this site is correct. If it was set 20 years after black ops wouldnt it be the 1980's or 90's?

[ShottySnipa417]

Actually, there will be a point in time where the game will take place in the '80s. But the majority will be in 2025.

[MattyG]

Yeah, I just read that on Kotaku this morning. Sounds like they're trying for a varied experience. Can't wait for the gameplay reveal tonight!

[user5467007]

Looks more or less the same

Here we go...it's going to get perfect scores again and then 4-5 months after release

"Ahhh....it's wasn't that good"

Sorry but if a game hardly changes then it should be marked down, tiny differences don't make a difference. I hope Halo 4 wipes the floor with this.

[LUCKYXS7LEVEN]

i hope halo can but it's been 2 years since then and call of duty been around every year and kids go for what cool with everyone in school .

[ShottySnipa417]

...that hype people so much. Then it hits retail, people initially love it, then after a month, hate on it. It's a cycle.

[Unlimax]

BEST COMMENT OF THE YEAR !

. . . no really it was a good comment :3

[M-M]

I'm going to keep my mouth shout until I actually see some multiplayer gameplay.

[allyc4t]

That engine is starting to look really outdated. Surely Treyarch could do better.

[Gamer-Z]

That looked really bad, like wii graphics bad.

[Oldman100]

Another Michael Bay explosion fest of a trailer. Not interested in the slightest. The only way they are going to get my attention is if they show zombies mode and footage of the ps3 version running properly.

[XIIIWARRIOR41]

Many of you crack me up. Talking about needing a new engine as if most of you would know the difference being that you age 15. I've never witnessed so many negative people cry like a baby over a 2 minute trailer. I bet all of you will still buy it, complain that you bought it, glad you sold it and repeat the process until the next call of duty comes out! Grow up already geez!

[shodaime]

im gonna say that, we wont see a new engine till the ps4 come out and new engine will come along mw4 but god damn this look awesome!

[gtxgamer2]

Only getting this for zombies tbh

[4ss4]

same here i'll pass this .. 4hour hype in story mode then in multiplayer mode run like monkeys think i'm ghost killing everyone .. how many year we been doing this ?

[DEATHxTHExKIDx]

HYPE you have it for a week and think its amazing then you start noticeing the BS.

[mafiahajeri]

Hahaha I was talking to some friends and said the same thing. We buy it for the first 2 weeks its great then the crap starts getting too much to bare.

Honestly Im so sick of COD I really cant play that game for more than 20 minutes its like torture if I go on any longer( This is coming from an ex COD fanboy)

Im sick of quickscopers running around the map killing you face to face when you have an assault rifle. In general Im sick of the I see you first I kill you type of gameplay its pure luck.

Not to mention other things like annoying killstreaks, Knifes from a mile away, random grenades, campers you cant counter, heart beat sensors and kids who think its cool to open your mic and play horrible music.

I know ill buy it but I hope this time I can come to my sences and sell it quick...

[dcortz2027]

I'd rather support Halo 4, and/or Medal Of Honor Warfighter than the new COD game! COD just isn't what it used to be.. where are the improvements? decent graphics, old and outdated engine etc.

[iagainsti120]

Don't forget the underdog Homefront! :) I heard they may be making a 2nd one.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Hmmm...I don't know. I mean it didnt look as horrid as some hear say, but it certainly didnt look uber fantastic either. The story also has me kinda hanging between intrigue and roll my eyes ridiculous. I love mechs in my futuristic games but i am not sold on how they will fit in with COD. Overall I was just kinda meh about it.

[mafiahajeri]

Dont let the trailer fool you its more of the same. Seen alot of comments like yours dont be skeptical or on the fence your going to get the same thing...

[DeadSpaced]

I have to say..

[TheModernKamikaze]

Anyone notice a pattern in this games?

[sriki007]

instead of calling in attack
dogs you'll be calling in a stampede.

[spike]

The only pattern I see is that there all awesome.

[xtreampro]

I know MW3 looked bad but seriously this trailer had me ROFLing, compared to EVERYTHING including ios games this looks bad, it really dose look like a wii game.

It feels like I'm the only one who hasn't played a COD game since COD4. I here many people bashing it but then say they'll give it a try.

You're partly supporting this abomination.

EDIT: COD threads actually confirm what I thought about this site, a lot of kids tend to use this it and it's the only reasonable explanation for all the disagrees everyone's getting.

So it's infested with kids and Sony loyalists, or maybe the majority of Sony loyalists on n4g are kids? that would explain why they're so defensive since adults don't tend to behave that way and it would also explain why the majority don't know anything about game development.

[Angels3785]

That does not really make sense because I do not tend to hear as many little kids on the mics in PSN as I do on Xbox LIVE.....and it's a big difference...

[Redtide]

the main character i saw looks like he is related to frank maybe his son?

[XabiDaChosenOne]

I'm not fazed by this at all, COD always has epic trailers. If only their games were just as exciting.

[d4sholil1]

Upon watching this trailer for the first time, I could not help but have the same feeling I had when Rare lost the license to the Bond games and made Perfect Dark thereafter; out of touch! But I still purchased Perfect Dark for N64. = )

[naveenav]

graphics very poorrr :(

[Redtide]

looks cool just needs a new engine

[fermcr]

Graphics look good (not great) but the most important is gameplay. The setting for this Call of Duty looks great. I'm exited.

[EffectO]

Badass trailer.Interest raising.

[totallysane]

cod4-bought, mw2 pass, black ops pass, mw3 pass, blops 2...pass

[J_Cob]

I wonder if they're setting Black Ops II in the future like this to compete with Respawn Entertainment's future FPS game coming out next year? Even though it's a long ways away. Just a thought.

LoL @ Horses!.

Edit: wonder if we can have perks on them?, my little pwny style!.......... Show us zombies, Treyarch!.

[hennessey86]

This looks spectacular, I have really got into battlefield 3 after the dissapointing MW3 but this looks very interesting indeed. It makes me laugh though that every COD articall attracts so much hate, if your not interested why comment ffs

[trikster40]

Wow. You know, I am a burned out Call of Duty person and haven't played once since MW2, but that trailer looks freaking awesome. Am I supposed to be this excited for a CoD game? I can't wait!

[HarryB]

I think people will move on from this form of call of duty this time. I saw horses in this game..When an fps maker has to resort to horses in an fps game its pretty much a done deal. This game is just tooo cinematic.

Anyway, you guys will like counter strike GO. Im a beta player on the PC, and I was a skeptic, but my god its fun. When cs go moves to the xbox and pc, you guys will appreciate what an FPS suppose to be about. Just you and your aim and your skills. You are the weapon, not the game.

[ATi_Elite]

Holy Crap!!! I so want this!!!

Call of Duty Black Ops 2......Just when I thought I was out, they pull me right back in!!!!

That trailer got me so pumped up!! Hey Michael Bay this is what an Action Trailer should look like! Better luck next time screwing up a movie!

[chukamachine]

Oh come on.

The graphics look like shit.

As someone said cod4 back in the day looked decent enough.

Yes it's 60fps, but truth be told 30fps does fine if it's 30fps all the time. aka resistance3 on consoles.

They said they were pushing future pc tech, wtf.lol.

should have waited for PS4/720 Launch title.

Could have had, good physics,a.i,shaders,lighting,t extures, and other nice stuff.

Other then close up texture wise, i thought rage was decent for console.

But as always, buy if you want it.

[GamingPerson]

With no High Definition, No Dedicated servers, bad hit detection, bad spawning & poor graphics are the only cons to CoD! It will sell billions! 20 million+ console gamers are kinda dumb..

[XboxInnovation]

Treyarch games only run at 60 frames on Xbox360, on PS3 they run at like 25

[tigertron]

I will admit, the trailer actually looks good, but the only sci-fi shooter thats getting my money this year is Halo 4.

[FrencFri]

I'm sorry but they just trying to copy MW3 but with new guns and planes!!! Will never be as good as MW3

[Horny]

mw3 was shit, if its as good as the first black ops its already better than MW3. Treyarch know how to design good maps and keep it balanced.

[FrencFri]

oo you got to be joking Black ops was a crap game!! only reason anyone liked it was because of the zombies and that to was crap!!!

[theeg]

The IDIOTS that made this trailer should be fired, whoever decided on HORSES in the game should be shitcanned.

The cheap asses at activision need to get blizzard to do the trailers, this looked like it was an ad for a psp game, the character model was quite possibly the WORST I have ever seen this gen.

Here's how you make a trailer;

[Mrmagnumman357]

hell yeah... Diablo 3!

[grahf]

Hahaha! When I linked to the video, the full BlOps2 trailer was the advertisement.

Cinematic trailers are an abomination. Use in-game graphics to hype your game or nothing at all. Well, D3 graphics are pretty bad to begin with, I can see why they wouldn't want to highlight them... Talk about a dated engine...

[veChuy]

Cant belive this guys with the money they earn, they just use the same core of the latest CODs and they just create a new campaing, nothing new the same things just a different history. They just care about money ill not buy it this time.

[Mrmagnumman357]

Wow... COD graphics keep getting worse somehow. If all of you are so big on 60 fps then get a pc. I play BF3 at 60 fps on my 700$ gtx 570 pc.

[Kevinc66]

This looks Awfull..I thought Black Ops was bad enough,plus the fact that it crashed my PS3..I really was hoping that this would have been something special..Back to BF3 and MW3 for me..!

[andron]

Yeah, I can honestly say my interest in Cod: BO 2 is at an all time low now. Too many great games lined up for the end of this year, so I think BO2 won't make the cut...

[AngelicIceDiamond]

At this point they have to present the game better. Instead of explosions and booms an bangs they need to give us a different look. COD always try's to come with a "Bang" everytime. Im sorry but how they're doing it, its not working for me Because that's how they present cod every single year in the exact same way. But as far as the vid goes, honsetly, the only thing it has going for it is future warfare thats it.

[TheCagyDies]

In my opinion
Cod 1 - brought
Cod 2 - brought
Cod 3 - Christmas present
Cod 4 - brought
WaW - Skipped and played at friend's house.
MW2 - brought
BO - Skipped and played my little cousin's copy.
MW3 - Rented at RedBox for 2 dollars.
BO2 - Going to skip and play my little cousin's copy again.

In conclusion, Treyarch never got a dime off me and never will, I'll just leech off someone else's copy and play the story. I always saw Treyarch as the little brother who leeches off ideas from its bigger brother, Infinity Ward (When Zampella and West were still there).

[Getowned]

Treyarch made COD 2 lol , the best one last gen.

[TheCagyDies]

IW made COD2 (Current Gen). Treyarch made COD2: Big Red One on the last gen consoles.
COD2: Big Red One was the sequel to Finest Hour.
COD2 on Xbox 360 and PC was the sequel to the original COD1 on PC.

[Getowned]

O_O! there was a COD2 this gen ? wow.. little late for that when did that come out ? . did they go COD1,COD2,COD3,COD2,COD4 and so on ? lol well guess I never played COD2 the second then don't think I even remember hearing about it even on PC.I remember COD 2 Big Red one on PS2 which was awesome back then and one of the better cods imo.

[TheCagyDies]

Came out at during the Xbox 360 launch 2005. It was a launch title too.
Here's COD2

"The future is black"...I've been looking for a new chat up line.

[Getowned]

This actually looks awesome, I want to see more. Black Ops is my fav COD (Currently COD4 is gone to the hackers) so I want to check it out regardless. Treyarch is cool but its funny how they did WW2 game then went to cold war, skipped Modern and went future. This looks really cool tbh I how they have a good mix of huge and small maps this time around. I don't expect a huge change but I hope they took tips from BF3. Don't disappoint Treyarch like obi from starwars your our only hope to have a good COD game after that crap we call MW3.No one I know likes it they all went back to blops.

[MilkMan]

Ooh lookie here, more Black Op...Zzzzz.

[josephayal]

XBOX 720/PS4 GRAPHICS

[FrencFri]

mm fag and gay

[GaMErFoLife88]

is it just me or does it look like terminator meets red dead meets ghost recon future soldier meets one of those lame meck games you downlaod the demo for because you think it would be cool but turns out to be craplike the rest. thats what this game looks like, i was kinda looking forward for BO2 but it looks like i shouldnt have. i just wander how much they are gonna recycle stuff from there pervious games. im done with COD! max payne3, dragons dogma, sleeping dogs,prey 2,hitman, GTA5, AC3. way better games are on the way so ACTan TRY can eat dirt with their brainwashing lil childern for mommys money. (that is all)

[Getowned]

"one of those lame meck games you downlaod the demo for because you think it would be cool but turns out to be crap" LOL! bubble

[Neo-Axl]

Hey everybody! I'm new to the site, just wanted to say this new COD looks somewhat different to the rest.. a little bit like Metal Gear Solid 4 if I may say :P Regardless that isn't an insult, looks somewhat interesting!

[susanto1228]

Bells
Whistles

And lots of suckers

The only thing EA and this game has going
For them
