Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Info Coming In May?

Is this the official teaser poster for an upcoming announcement of Treyarch and Activision's shooter sequel?

By Simon Gallagher /

It seems that we might be treated to some information on the next Call of Duty franchise edition as early as next month thanks to reports surfacing on the net today, and as suspected it appears that fans will be getting a sequel to the excellent Black Ops. Kotaku have revealed an announcement poster that was passed on to them from an unnamed retail source, who was sent it by Activision in the lead up to what is far more likely to be a reveal announcement rather than an actual release. Activision have yet to comment on the leaked poster, but it does look pretty genuine, and Activision's furious reaction to French site Gameblog.fr's revelation of Amazon's unintentional listing of the sequel back in February suggested to everyone involved that the game would pop up sooner rather than later. Here's the full image as it appeared at source: Certainly seems legitimate. Personally, I think the COD team need to do some serious work to pull their franchise back from the brink of becoming the bloated, lazy series that its vocal detractors have long called it, because Modern Warfare 3 was far from the master-piece it should have been.
