Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 was officially announced a couple of days ago and if you are a fan of the first person shooter, you will probably want to know of the details. If you follow our site, you probably saw the official reveal trailer that looks amazing and from the looks of things, Black Ops 2 will most likely sell more copies than Modern Warfare 3. Since this is a new Call of Duty, we thought that you should know some of the confirmed details on this much anticipated sequel.

It is obvious that Black Ops 2 is going to have a single-player campaign as well as multi-player & even zombies, which Treyarch and Black Ops is known for. Below are all of the details that we were able to dig up for you Call of Duty fans worldwide.

As as sequel to the original Black Ops, this game is going to be set in 2025, but the story will jump from late 1980′s to 2025. In the late 1980′s you experience the ending of the Cold War and in 2025 the United States is in some sort of conflict with China. At this point, China owns most of the world’s resources and that’s one of the main factors that creates static between both of the superpowers. There is also some sort of  conflict going on as the villain will be Raul Menendez, who is responsible for the conflict between these big superpowers.

The whole story is going to be narrated by Retired Sgt. Frank Woods, who was also seen talking in the reveal trailer. Below is a before and after photo of him.

In the 2025 part of the single-player story you take the role of David Mason, who happens to be the son of Alex Mason from the previous Black Ops. In the late 1980′s part of the story will be played by Alex Mason and certain parts of Central America will be seen in the game, so that’s probably the reason that there are horses in the trailer. The whole story is going to connect with Raul Menendez, who is responsible for pitting the Chinese and US governments against each other. Menendez also hacked the US’ unmanned drones and unleashed an attack on Los Angeles by putting our weapons against each other.

Other facts

• There is going to be a female soldier in the game by the name of Anderson.
• David Mason is going to to have a sidekick named Nelson.
• Drones are going to be controllable in combat and will play an essential role.
• There will be horses and horse-back riding in the game similar to Uncharted 3.
• Vehicle segments are back and in one of the missions you will get to pilot a VTOL airship.
• You will have choices in Black Ops 2 with different outcomes.
• Popular features such as create-a-class, killstreaks might be taken away in this new game.
• All of the multi-player will be on maps for the year 2025, but chances are that dlc will bring older maps.
• The graphics will look better than Black Ops number one.
• David Mason is going to have the call sign and that is: Section.
• There will be at least one female protagonist in the game.
• In 2025 there is a woman for a president and she will appear in the L.A. Mission.
• There is a new game mode called “Strike Force”.

That’s all for now people, but continue to check with us as more details come our way. If you didn’t see the official reveal trailer you can see it below.

The sequel to 2006’s critically-acclaimed Company of Heroes strategy game is in development and will be out in “early” 2013 for the PC, THQ announced today.

Being developed by Relic Entertainment, Company of Heroes 2 will take place in World War II, this time on the Eastern Front as players control the Soviet Union to fight off Russia-invading Nazis.

The game will utilize Relic’s Essence 3.0 Engine which will provide new elements like “Dynamic Battle Tactics, increased graphical fidelity and new environmental destruction.” CoH 2 will also have new Commander Abilities, as well as a new TrueSight system that makes units visible if they’re in line of sight.

According to CoH 2’s official website, competitive and co-op multiplayer will be returning, and as Core Games’ executive vice president Danny Bilson said in a statement, there will be a “strong post-launch digital content plan.”

“Company of Heroes 2 is a true successor, introducing a new front, new protagonists and new technology while retaining the unique mix of strategic gameplay and competitive multiplayer that made the original Company of Heroes such a success,” said Relic’s producer Greg Wilson.

[Update: The game's first screenshot and teaser trailer can be seen here and here.]

An Elder Scrolls massively multiplayer online role-playing is coming out titled The Elder Scrolls Online, Game Informer revealed in a tease for their June cover story of the game.

TESO takes place 1,000 years before the events of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim as the daedric prince Molag Bal threatens the world of Tamriel where TESO is set (along with other Elder Scrolls games). GI mentions that there will be solo-quests, public dungeons, player-versus-player conflicts, and “three player factions.” Users will apparently be able to take part in open-world battles to take control of the Cyrodiil province and the Emporer’s throne.

TESO is being developed by Zenimax Online Studios and is slated to hit the PC and Mac next year. GI will be releasing the first teaser trailer and screenshot of the game tomorrow. A part of me always dreamed of a multiplayer Elder Scrolls game considering how massive the worlds are. I guess my dream has come true!

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has been officially unveiled and here’s you first look at it.

Unlike past Treyarch-developed CoD games, it looks like Black Ops 2 will take place in the future in the year 2025 as mechs, quadrotor attack drones and hover jets are shown in the trailer. Additionally, there’s a glimpse of Los Angeles and horse-riding as well, and the trailer is narrated by an elderly man named Frank Woods who is presumably the main character from Black Ops 1.

Black Ops 2 will be released on Nov. 13 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. As a person who was getting a bit jaded with the CoD series, I have to say that this trailer made me wet myself and definitely has me psyched for Black Ops 2.
