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.

It was announced today that a new Family Guy game titled Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse is in the works.

Getting released on “gaming consoles” this fall from Twentieth Century Fox and Activision, the aptly-named Back to the Multiverse is inspired by Family Guy’s “Road to the Multiverse” episode which had Brian and Stewie traveling to parallel universes like The Flinstones cartoon and a world where humans are dogs. (Great episode, by the way!)

“Fans of Family Guy will love that we’ve taken some of the series’ most iconic and memorable moments and built them into an impressive and uncensored video game,” said Activision’s executive vice president David Oxford. “Anyone who watches the show will appreciate how much we have adhered to its rich and twisted universe and characters.”

Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products president Jeffrey Godsick added that “Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse will utilize the source material, including the talented voice cast and writers, authentic humor and subversive spirit of the series, giving fans a whole new way to interact with their favorite show.”

Of course, we can also probably expect lots of cultural references like in Road to the Multiverse. And seeing as how this game is being handled by Activision, I have a sneaking suspicion we’ll be seeing something related to a certain military first-person shooter that rhymes will Wall of Ruby.

The sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops was pretty much expected, especially if you happen to be a fan of the series. What was unknown is the release date of course, but luckily for us some new details have emerge that suggest the release date of 11.13.12, which is right around the corner. In an image posted on IGN, there are two Target Pre-Order cards one for the PS3 and the other for 360 that shed some light on a future game.

Since Black Ops was developed by Treyarch chances are that they are the studio behind this game as well, but I guess we will have to wait and see.  Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will be announced on May 1st, 2012 at the NBA playoffs.

Those of you that happen to be fans of a little game called Call Of Duty will soon learn that a future COD might be coming our way. It all started with rumors that suggested a Call of Duty: Eclipse, which could in fact be the codename for Black Ops 2. This of course has not been confirmed by either Activision or Treyarch, but if you visit the Call of Duty website you will notice that they have changed the homepage and added the following:

World Reveal
Tune in May 1st
Basketball Playoffs on TNT

With Call of Duty: Black Ops doing as good as it did, this was something that everyone sort of expected. It would be interesting to find out on May 1st. Keep checking with us as more details come our way. You can also see a screencap below in case that Activision takes it away.

In a phone interview with Wired last month, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said that the company wants to release more downloadable content for the Call of Duty series more quickly, adding that some of the DLC might not just be multiplayer maps.

“The idea of giving people constant incremental playable content and making it so you’re never more than a few weeks away from the next new experience within the Call of Duty universe is part of what we’re experimenting with,” Hirshberg told Wired.

After noting how listening to its fans is important and how players want more DLC, Hirshberg added,  “One of the things that was most appealing when we were researching these ideas with consumers is the idea of breaking up the DLC so that it comes more often and more regularly,” said Hirshberg. “We want to provide DLC to people more often and also experiment with more of a variety in the forms of playable content.”

This experimentation could result in DLC comprising of  “missions or spec-op modes,” and not just multiplayer maps which are always cranked out for CoD games post-release.

If you are a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Elite subscriber you will probably be interested to know that the first downloadable content pack will become available on January 24, 2012. This DLC will first come out on XBL as usual and then eventually to the Playstation 3 via PSN. This news comes from Infinity Ward’s Creative strategist Robert Bowling, who said the following

“full season of content for Modern Warfare 3 kicks off for Elite subscribers January 24th on Xbox Live.”

It will be interesting to see what Infinity Ward is bringing to the table and let’s hope for the best, but it would be nice if Activision would make this dlc available on both xbl and psn at the same time.
