LiamFTWinter Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 [uPDATE 5] http://www.callofduty.com has gone ahead and launched their promotion with many different secrets to find, you can find the discussion thread here: viewtopic.php?f=81&t=21057 [uPDATE 4] I've managed to link two more eclipse dates to the new call of duty game, to read my thread about it, go here: viewtopic.php?f=81&t=21032 [uPDATE 3] This is an interesting one, pointed out by MrRoflWaffles (He's too damn clever) November 13th is the second tuesday of November, which is when CoD games traditionally release. But something else happens on that date, a solar ECLIPSE, Eclipse seems to be focused on heavily so far in this advertising campaign, this can't simply be a coincidence? Source: MrRoflWaffles and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_ecli ... r_13,_2012 [uPDATE]Charlie intel have confirmed that the game will be announced and pre-orders will open on May 2nd [uPDATE 2] The promotions are now being displayed in most gamestops, each stand has cases on that supposedly show the same person as the poster but has the logos for each platform and the word "Eclipse" blurred out, apart from one which shows the word eclipse clearly. Nothing in specific has been announced for May 2nd other than Gamestop saying they will be putting up large banners and even more promotion (Expected to feature the full title and release date) Source: http://www.charlieintel.com/2012/04/21/ ... -gamestop/ Remember the black ops 2 poster that leaked the other day? Well more has been released, the title that is currently listed by gamestop is "Call of Duty: Eclipse" here's some images of the promotional stand and poster! 2nd May 2012, Return for debriefing.

Nathan169 Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Eclipse... Sounds a very good name for a sequel to black ops. The excitement is rushing through me. I just got to wait when preorder is out available. :shock:
Darknova XP Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 The very thought of it being called Black Ops 2, seeing as Black Ops was World at War's successor, was strange. I haven't called Treyarch's game Black Ops 2. But Eclipse, it's different, as it title at least. It has been discussed before, the title being Eclipse, as early as March to my understanding. Aside from the astrological meaning eclipse could mean a reduction or loss of splendor, status, reputation, etc. In relation to the campaign this could be referring to Mason and his situation.
Zaptn. Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 I don't like the name eclipse... it dosen't seem to fit in with cod i think. But then i thought Big red one was a stupid name. Eclipse sounds like some space themed warfare lazer guns UFO's game.
ZombieOfTheDead Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Eclipse sounds very cool... I'm interested in the naming behind it. Funny, how most of us thought it would be BO2. So what is it now, CODE?

ccm404e Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 I'm glad. Honestly,I think having the titles indicate direct sequels can be quite tedious, seeing as you have Call of Duty in the title too. Personally, I feel Call of Duty: Eclipse rolls off the tongue much better than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Mr.mashmello Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 At least it isn't called black ops 2 :roll: sounds good
BlindBusDrivr Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Well I think that eclipse is an early hint to the storyline of the game. Now eclipses normally have to do with the moon obscuring the sun's light or vice versa. But there's another definition of eclipse: a reduction or loss of splendor, status, reputation, etc.: Scandal caused the eclipse of his career. Funny that I heard a while back about BO2 being about Hudson, Mason and Weaver being disavowed.
Strwrsbob Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 So they assemble those 3D boxes, and paste them onto the Tower. Can't wait to see these in stores!
MixMasterNut Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 I'm calling it right now... the character on the cover is Jason Hudson
Shooter Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 I'm a fan of the title! Can't wait to make my pre-order May 2nd! I'm also loving the fact that this means we're just over 6 months away from getting our hands on it I'm calling it right now... the character on the cover is Jason Hudson Looks like a close match to me.
BlindBusDrivr Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 I KNOW it is Hudson. As I've said Hudson makes a far more interesting character and has a far better possible role than a secondary character. Mason is just seems was like the rest of his SOG team, just got in the wrong place in the wrong time... I like where they're going with this :)
AlphaSnake Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 :twisted: This is a very interesting find indeed. @ MMN, I'll buy that for a dollar. Regards Alpha.
AlphaSnake Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 :lol: Now that would be a suprise... Regards Alpha.
ZBshilo237 Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 oooooooooooooo i cant wait for that "call of duty eclipse" it even sounds awesome!!!! still doin those easter eggs 8-) 8-) gt zbshilo
ccm404e Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Another leaked image. Take it with a pinch of salt, but this is exciting...
LiamFTWinter Posted April 21, 2012 Author Posted April 21, 2012 Another leaked image. Take it with a pinch of salt, but this is exciting... I believe this was confirmed as fake, looks a lot like the centre of karachi from MW2, if this is real I'm no longer excited about this game because it looks terrible.

I believe this was confirmed as fake, looks a lot like the centre of karachi from MW2, if this is real I'm no longer excited about this game because it looks terrible. I dunno what to think. The gun is definatley the MP7, but it does look different to the MW3 MP7. There is not enough detail on the map layout to compare it to another map, or see it as brand new. The killfeed is in a weird place and the killstreaks in the bottom right corner are laid out in a pretty obscure way. The first thing that came to me however is that the Dom Flag markers look way too much like that from Modern Warfare, and not from Black Ops. And I wouldn't go judging the entire game on one image that may or may not be real mate Also, the thing that got me is how detailed it is. If it is fake, the guy who's made this has done a bloody good job, so props to him!
Zaptn. Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Another leaked image. Take it with a pinch of salt, but this is exciting... The gun looks like an MP7 and a MK14 together, i can't see Treyarch implementing a shield type of weapon since they never have yet. The background looks familiar, the killfeed is too far up and the mini-map is to big. One thing i did recognize is if you watch the Black ops multiplayer trailer, they used roughly the same font for the scoreboard/ammo count that is on this picture. The equipment section at the bottom right looks too confusing. I can't see treyarch combining the tactical+equipment slot like what IW have done.
LiamFTWinter Posted April 21, 2012 Author Posted April 21, 2012 I've seen that exact spot in another game, I just can't think of which map
ccm404e Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 I've seen that exact spot in another game, I just can't think of which map I'd say HardHat from MW3. Looking closer, the hand looks exactly the same as the hand when using a shotgun in MW3.

Looking closer, the hand looks exactly the same as the hand when using a shotgun in MW3. I just looked at hardhat, it's not there, I swear I've seen it in MW2, the glove he is wearing is the delta team glove from MW3 and the position his hand is in is the same as holding PP90 in MW3, which if you look at the bottom front of the gun in the image looks like the weird tube on the PP90.
