CODBLOPS 2 Does Modernish Warfare

Call of Duty 9: Black Ops 2: Modern Warfare 4 was rumoured to exist but if you're anything like me, you'll be flabbergasted to hear that the series is indeed continuing and the website for the game is now live, although the trailer that takes centre stage doesn't work just yet. It's apparently due to be premiered (red carpet?) this evening during the NBA Playoffs. The website does reveal that the game takes place in the near future, during a 21st century cold war. I bet it's a cold war that involves surfing on top of a stealth fighter while shooting down a space shuttle full of nukes. November 13th is when the CoD blops once more. One more pic below.

Drones, droning, in the world of tomorrow.

Oh, and here's confirmation of the setting, just in case the screenshots may suggest an alternate history rather than a shooty future.

"Pushing the boundaries of what fans have come to expect from the record-setting entertainment franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 propels players into a near future, 21st Century Cold War, where technology and weapons have converged to create a new generation of warfare."

Technology and weapons converging? Good lord! That's how accidents happen. Atomic accidents.
