The Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Reveal Trailer



Axe summed up the trailer pretty nicely. You can see his whole post here. Good job Axe!
So right off the start, the game will take place around "June 19th 2025" As it says right in the starting of the video. This will probably mean that the technology that you get and will have in the game is better and more advanced than previous call of duties. I am assuming that the charactor in the first scene is Sgt. Frank Woods, as his name is in the begining of the video. I noticed that he is also in a wheel chair at the start of the video. If you go to 0:25 in the video, you will notice new technology in the design of the airplane, which is probably in the campaign, but could also be a killstreak that looks much like the harrier from Modern warfare 2. After that, I noticed that you might also be able to pilot the harrier type aircraft like you would be able to in Black Ops 2 with the gunner. At 0:37 you will see a scene where you will be able to pilot some sort of aircraft, and you will also be able other various new looking aircrafts flying around. at 0:39, your soldier pulls up his arm where he has a device on his arm that you will most likely be able to use during the game. Then the next thing that I noticed is that the narrator quotes "We build computers, robots, and whole un-manned armies" which gives me the thought that this game will be technologically different to other call of duties as I predict that you will be able to create virtual soldiers to dominate the battle feild. At 0:51, you will notice some kind of operatated robot that looks kind of like a tank with legs (Possible killstreak) At 1:03, you will see footage of the player flying the helicopter, which looks very simular to the flying in battlefield, which makes me think that call of duty is trying to make their games more like the action in battlefield. At 1:31, you will see the player in last stand, which confirms that last thand/final stand will be coming back into the game. At 1:34 you will notice a possible killstreak for multiplayer. Im not sure if it has a name that has been released yet. The next second they show a clip of people riding horses, which means that there will be some sort of horse riding in the game, weather it is incorperated into multiplayer, we do not know. Finally, the final thing I noticed is that at the very end, it says "The future is black" Which confirms that this game will be taking place in the future and that it will be most likely more technoligically developed and overall seems like a good game.

Also after I took a second look at the trailer, I realized that the narrator says "And the things they built to keep us safe, were turned against us" What I'm getting from this is that the campaign is going to be a battle against machine armies, Which is a totally new Idea to call of duty which can totally change the game. I am not sure how this is going to go into the multiplayer factor of the game, but I'm pretty sure that this game is going to be a big battle against un-manned armies. A fact that can possibly prove my theory is, a the beginning of the video they say "Technology got stronger, But we got weaker".

David has also said:-

A little more the Decade out.
Lots of research to make a more plausible near future
Branching story lines.
Non linear Gameplay.
CONFIRMED: ZOMBIES RETURNING. Most ambitious
Not ready to discuss multiplayer yet.
Deep integration for ELiTE in Black Ops 2.

Pushing the boundaries of what fans have come to expect from the record-setting entertainment franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops II propels players into a near future, 21st Century Cold War, where technology and weapons have converged to create a new generation of warfare.

Key
* = New Topic
*= Updated Topic


Release Dates*
Still far from confirmed, new reports and a leaked promotional poster have suggested publisher Activision will unveil COD: Black Ops 2 on May 2nd...
Black Ops 2 will be officially revealed on 1st May, 2012 during basketball playoffs on TNT
Source: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Leaks suggest that Black Ops 2 will drop close to or on the 2nd November 2012

CONFIRMED as of 20/04/2012
20/04/2012 is the day marketing begins
GameStop was instructed to put up the 05-02-12 marketing material starting today after receiving it from Activision 2 weeks prior
On the marketing instructions, it clearly says Activision Classified Game: ECLIPSE
At the bottom of the material it indicates Classified Call of Duty Game in small print (on all pages)
Lots of large Banners and more marketing on May 2nd are going up
All the Box art is blurred out along with the names and systems except for one, which says ECLIPSE

Not Confirmed Yet as of 20/04/2012
They still have no idea when pre-orders will start
Trailer of some kind on May 2nd
From the looks of it and the opinion of GameStop employees, Eclipse should have been blurred out with the rest but wasnt for some reason
According to one GameStop manager, the blurred character is the same guy from Black Ops box art (posing different, different gun)

The biggest news to come out of this is the reference to Call of Duty: ECLIPSE in the GameStop marketing material. The words Activision Project were also noted.. Its still unclear if ECLIPSE is the sequel to Black Ops or a brand new title, however the return for debriefing still implies its a sequel for Treyarch.

Pre-Orders*
There has recently been an image leak on the IGN website, of possible pre-order cards. I believe these will be mentioned on May 1st during the Basketball Playoffs on TNT. The cards also tell us that the release date for Black Ops 2 on 11.13.12 (November 13th 2012).

Game Modes
Escort
Escort will be a NEW game type to the Call of Duty franchise
The objective of the game is to escort a player on you're team to one of three areas without them being killed. The amount of areas may fluctuate from 2 to 3. This change will be caused by the sizes of the maps.
Small maps = 2
Big Maps = 3
It will be much like Search and Destroy, as it will run on a one life basis, and will also consist of rounds

Split Spawn
A game mode in which you spawn from a hellicopter, and climb down to get to the ground.
The player starts with 3 lives.
One player can control the chopper to let you climb down in different areas, as well as shoot from the chopper.
If the chopper is destroyed, players can no longer spawn.
Players compete for a central flag that takes 2x as long to capture than a regular domination flag.
Either the death of all opposing players or the capturing of the flag will grant you a win.
This game has 2 rounds

Equalizer
A game mode in which players are switched to the enemy team upon death (much like infection).
Players will compete for a flag, which when owned, open up a power plant to allow the player to customize their class in game, get new weapons, and put on a juggernaut suit for their team only.
When there are 2 players left on a team, they are granted with the power plant automatically, and pointstreaks up to a 5 point requirement can also be obtained.
If either of the two players die, they will remain on their own team.
The team with the most converts (kills) at the end will win
If tied, whoever is currently owning the power plant will win

Returning Gamemodes from MW3
- Drop Zone
- Kill Confirmed

Non-Returning Gamemodes from MW3
- Team Defender
- Infected



Pointstreaks
Will follow from Modern Warfare 3's system
Larger emphasis on objectives

The Specialist Pointstreak has be modified
2 kills now gets you 1 perk.
The 4th kill gets you 2 more perks.
The 6th kill gets you 3 more perks.
The 8th Kill gets you 4 more perks.
You do not get every perk when you reach 8 kills. Perks only become "Pro" when you have them Pro

Heat Vision
Heat vision is a NEW Pointstreak reward. When you get the required points, you can activate this Pointstreak and your player pulls out a scope and attaches it to your weapon.
This scopes main advantage is it's ability to detect enemies through most walls.
Note, the scope can only be attached to primaries, excluding shotguns

Similar to the behavior seen in the MW3 Spec Ops survival
