Call Of Duty Unveiling Set For The 2012 NBA Playoffs

Activision will finally be revealing the first official details about 2012's Call of Duty game -- rumored to be Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 from Treyarch -- on May 1, 2012, during TNT's annual NBA playoffs coverage. The official CallofDuty.com website has been updated with a countdown clock and a window teasing the news, presumably to be replaced with a trailer on May 1.

If you close the countown window (by clicking X), you'll notice that a set of screens bearing the word "Classified" are arrayed out behind it. Clicking on one zooms in on the image, showing a date that presumably points to when that bit of advertising will be unlocked. One is up and running already, an image obscured behind white noise. There's also mention in the site's source code of Black Ops being a registered Activision trademark, in a chunk of code that appears to be linked to the world reveal.

Take that for what it's worth.

The possibility of a Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 release, presumably from the 2010 predecessor's developer Treyarch, has come up a few times now. A poster surfaced online on April 18 bearing the Activision and Treyarch logos and a May 2 date above the words "Return for Debriefing."

Then there was a February product listing on the French Amazon website pointing to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. A Spanish-language website followed that news shortly after with word that the next CoD would be coming in November. Not exactly a stretch for a series that is traditionally released in that month, but another example of the mounting evidence.

The newly updated CallofDuty.com is our first official confirmation from Activision in 2012 that news on the latest edition of the popular first-person shooter is coming.

    CoD is becoming one of those things that is cool to hate for gamers. I mean I know the story mode is not up to Bioware standards but they are fun enough the first time through. And while mutiplayer stays similar enough to previous editions it changes enough and does a lot more than it gets credit for.

    If you don't like CoD, that's fine. There are plenty of other great games out there that aren't going anywhere. I really don't get why you waste your time trash talking CoD anyway. It's not the best game out there, most people know that. But not the best doesn't mean bad. And if there are people out there who think CoD is the best series out there, that's fine too. If that ruins your day and stops you from playing the games you like then you have bigger problems than CoD.

    I just play COD for the story and get my multiplayer fix from Assasians Creed and Mass Effect. Who would have thought that the word multiplayer would be used along side Assassians Creed and Mass Effect 4 years ago.

    Haha this hype ad campaign would have worked 2 years ago or for a sequel that comes 5 years after it's predecessor but not a year in year out system.
    Even COD fanboys are getting bored of CoD more and more. They're trying to make a dramatic event over something nobody really cares much about.

    Yup CoD is the same every year...even more so this past year with MW2.5...but that is neither hear nor there. I am a fan of CoD, have been since CoD1 for PC. For you fanboys who don't know what that is...it's the game that showed MoH this is what an Epic Military Shooter should be. Anyway. I hope BLOPS2 revives the Franchise. MW3 is terrible and I think a lot of people are starting to finally realize that. The Elite system has been broken since day 1 and the maps (DLC and Launch Maps) are terribad. BLOPS 2 will be my last chance to CoD...if it doesn't work ...well i have BF3 still :D

    Seriously, if you have any hope for this game then us real gamers have no hope for you... Please do whatever it takes to ensure this terrible game remains on shelves and not ruining people's collections. I won't buy it. I'll try not to let friends buy it. I'll trash CoD on any forum I happen to visit if I find people who haven't woken up yet.

    Do your part - No more CoD!

    The only element they have now is to try and hide what it is going to be or being controversial. They do the SAME thing over and over each year with the same old boring game engine. There are too many robots thinking they are buying something different when activivion knows its the same thing every year.

    This is just proof, Activision isn't even trying to pretend that Call of Duty is for "Gamers" any more. Seriously, revealing a VIDEO GAME during a sports event?!
