Ive been reading alot of posts and threads here and elsewhere on the interwebs about the new COD, most of my reading is about omg mason is alive, its in the future west vs east, woah look at the quad rotter thingy, the graphics are outdated BF3 FTW, and eww @ the robots i play COD to kill humans.  ive have found some info that i ve not seen posted here or else where that i thought was more informative and got me hyped more than all the other info out there so far and thought i would share to COD fans and even gamer fans.

Story will start in the 80s to focus on the origin for what we've seen in the trailer that takes place in the future

 BOs2 will be the first COD video game to feature branching storylines, which the players choice affects both the current mission and  the overall course of the story

Its been hinted at that the side-plot of viktor reznov and his relationship with Alex Mason, that began in WAW and was advanced by BO, will be continued in BO2

The game will feature special 'Strike Force' missions that are offered as a choice to the player during the campaign. choosing one of the missions locks out the others unless the player begins a fresh campaign

Zombies are getting a big updated, it will have its own campaign along with the main story, 8 players, team modes,and bigger maps

Will have graphical upgrades including HDR lighting, bounce lighting, and self-shadowing as well as a new texture technique called reveal mapping, PC will support DX11

Kim Kardashian Tweeted i cant wait for COD BOs2 to come out!!!! the graphics look crazy

Oh Kim... you must not know of BF3.

Glad they are switching up the formula a bit on this one. Haven't bought a COD since MW2, but I'll keep an eye on this one.

So Kim not only likes black cocks, but Black ops too.

Op you should update with these video of the developer talking about all those features in even more detail:

I think some people are blindly hating on a game that could very well change up the military FPS scene for good.

I'm sure it'll be an at least decent game, but the problem lies with other games going down the Cod route, that's why I personally want sales to die down. 

I wish they would release a multiplayer only version of the game, like Killzone 3 did.

I remember when COD 4 was one of the best looking games on the current gen consoles.

4 - 5 years on and the game looks exactly the same. Not that the game looks bad, my gripe here is that at one point these guys were producing great visuals(best on console visuals) and now they have completely stopped improving on that simply because they don't need to.

Disappointing to say the least.

Thats exactly the reason why I think the route BO2 is going down (choices in campaign, non-linear gameplay, sandbox elements, the missions you do affect the overall outcome of the game, multiple endings, many drivable vehicles, more variety in general) is seriously going to change the way developers approach the FPS genre. And this is just the single player, Co-op and MP are two different games on their won.

COD sales aren't going to die down significantly anytime soon but because they are changing the standards that they themselves had set on the genre, it will make other devs hopefully consider also expanding on their own games trying something innovative rather than just copy pasting what COD does.

I just want to say one thing:

Blops 2 is copying Red Steel with branching storylines in First Person Shooters!

Welcome to the Wii launch, Activision!
