Is This an Official Poster for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2?

[ford1001]

It's looking more and more like this year's Call of Duty is going to be a sequel to 2010's Black Ops. A retail source forwarded the following image from a poster received today.

It's been widely speculated that this year's Call of Duty game will be a sequel to Black Ops, which was developed by Treyarch.

 

Also, the framing narrative for 2010's Black Ops was a debriefing where elements of a massive secret conspiracy were revealed so the text on the poster could be referencing that.

 

Also, the date on the poster is most likely a reveal date and not a release date. Call of Duty games typically come out later in the year to take advantage of the busy holiday shopping season.

 

In February, a French video games site found themselves banned—and then unbanned—from Activision events after reporting that a Black Ops sequel would arrive in 2012 after an Amazon leak earlier this year. That overreaction led many to think that the information in the leak was right on the money.

 

 

When contacted, Activision declined to comment to Kotaku about the image.

Hmm...looks like it just might be. I wasn't impressed with the last one really though. I know I will still purchase either way, gotta try it out!

Why wasn't you impressed? I thought it was quite a good game

Its a good game and a huge franchisee. It probably made more $ than any other game series. And they are totally squeezing out all the juices literally.

Black Ops and Cod4 were my two favorite games out of the Call of Duty franchise. For some reason I liked Black Ops. Proably because it was unique, unlike all other Cod games. Hopefully I will enjoy this one as well. The more the merrier.

I don't think that's the Official poster. As the date wouldn't be May 2nd 2012. I have heard rumors that they will release a trailer on that day though. The release date, I'm guessing will be somewhere between November 1st- November 20th.

Really Nathan you weren't impressed by the black ops ? I think this part was the most unique since CoD started out ... But yeah everyone's got different opinion ...

All these "official" CoD posters look so plain... I wouldn't be surprised if that's the real one.

Well I know one of the major retailers is doing some deal where you pre-order the game and get a free poster, but I don't think it looks like this.
