Black Ops 2 Multiplayer Leak and Release Date details

Quote :: It’s expected that this year’s Call of Duty is Black Ops 2, and while it hasn’t been confirmed, at this point it’d be unreasonable to believe otherwise.

The following information was posted on a Black Ops 2 Forum and was later taken down by Treyarch staff. Its cached version is also unavailable.

Keep in mind that none of this information is confirmed, but it all does sound genuine.
