The puzzle of what the 2012 Call of Duty game will be -- can we just call it Black Ops 2 now? -- continues to become more complex. Two more "Classified" windows on the CallofDuty.com homepage have been replaced with cryptic images that presumably point to facts about the coming game. There's also what appears to be a set of in-game images featuring the previously teased "Prototype Quadrotor."
Two more images have popped up in the "Classified" windows on CallofDuty.com since the quadrotor video appeared. One appears to be a logo of some sort, featuring the word "Tacitus" in red lettering. The other window now features a constantly cycling set of alphanumeric strings. As for the supposedly leaked quadrotor images, posted at MP1ST.com, they came from a now-removed page on a special effects firm's website that identified the project as "Call of Duty."
There's a lengthy rundown over at MP1ST that attempts to decipher what all of this means. The supposedly leaked in-game screenshots seem to be the most telling bit of evidence. The quadrotor is already linked with the next Call of Duty game, the effects firm labeled the project with the title, and those screens sure do look like they're crafted inside the game's engine.
The information from the two "Classified" windows at CallofDuty.com is less clear. Many seem to think that Tacitus refers to a fictional in-game weapons manufacturer, a possibility supported by an image of the quadrotor with the Tacitus logo watermarked across it (an image which could admittedly have been easily faked).
The set of alphanumeric strings is even less clear. One fan swapped out the letters in each code for numbers and plugged them into a map as coordinates. The results are certainly noteworthy; they point to five different locations in Japan, South Korea, Afghanistan, and, in two cases, China. What's more, the locations are arrayed out in a straight lined when viewed on a flat map.
Obviously there's nothing definitive here. Let's all remember though that this next Call of Duty game is coming from Treyarch, the same developer that is notorious for burying elaborate easter eggs inside of its zombie mode maps. It certainly appears that those skills are being applied on a broader scale here. A constantly updating thread on the CallofDutyZombies.com forums continues to speculate on all of this stuff, so keep an eye on that and other fansites for timely updates.

I love Cod and this game looks ok. i really wish they would change up the games though. they all feel the same. They need to change it up and defiantly need to overhaul the graphics. What if all the major videogame companies like infinity ward, treyarc, EA, Dice, Bethesda, bungie(343) And companies like that make one huge game. the companies are all known for great games.

Tell you what if there is no advancement to their visuals in this CoD I will not partake in it. Yea they are all the same but that's why it's good...if it aint broke don't fix it. All they are missing are graphical upgrades!!! MW3 looked like CoD4! Frikkin MW2 looks better than MW3. I'm not very optimistic about this next CoD...MW3 has sullied the CoD name.

To all the COD haters, your words in protest dont even make a dent in the franchise, their still making the game , still make at least 1 billion dollars every COD realease and still on top for best first shooter of the year since the realease of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which generated $310 million on its launch day. Not to mention Call of Duty: Black Ops has surpassed the $1 billion worldwide sales mark after just six weeks of availability , Making this franchise achieved the biggest entertainment launch in history. So while u suck on that me & about another 2 million people will be chilling online prestieging.

WTF. We all know that Black Ops 2 is gonna just be another CoD game, the maps will all feel the same, the guns will all feel the same, the singleplayer won't do anything new to Story telling and the Gameplay will be the complete same. Im sick of Treyarch and Infinity Ward pumping out the same old expansion packs after another. Xplay complain that the Dynasty Warriors Series is always the same, LOOK AT CALL OF DUTY, THE SAME GAME EVERY BLOODY NOVEMBER. I use to like the whole Xplay team, but how the hell can you give a Call of Duty game a 5/5, Since MW2 the series has not been playable for any longer then a week.
The funniest thing is that all us Call of Duty haters don't know how to get the message into ur brain. Call of Duty is crap, they add a couple more game modes every new release but the maps feel the same, and the graphics look exactly the same every game, but with the textures a tiny bit polished.

I just want to point out that the quad-copter shots looks simular to the ones in the new Ghost Recon: Future Soldier commercial.

You know you're milking a franchise when hype for something new comes up every 6 months

I used to love CoD but with every game it is getting worse and worse. Every title has its breaking for me where the game has to justify and prove to me that it is worth spend the money. Now I am at that point with CoD. No amount of fanboism in me or pretty cinematics going to convince me to get another CoD game.
Developers better make a good game or I will find elsewhere to spend the $60 in my wallet.

Oh no... here comes the hate.... and the classic, "It's the same game!" claim. Sigh...
I'd love to see COD be more innovative, but I'd love Gears, Halo, Mario & many others to do the same.

I'm game for a modern black ops game for two reasons.
1. I am a single player kind of guy.
2. "Black" and "Ops" are my two favorit words to see next to each other besids "multiple" and another word I can't type here.

Oh there goes DPsx72 again whit his nonsense. Why don't you just turn off the internet. CoD isn't going anywhere for a while weather you like it or not. Quit complaining and acting like it's hurting you.
