According to French gaming blog, Gameblog.fr, the next Call of Duty game has been outed by the French division of online retail giant Amazon.
The blog snapped a screenshot of a listing on Amazon.fr which plainly lists Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 as coming out this year. Now, you're probably saying, 'But, Nate! Any fool with Photoshop and some free time can put together an image as unconvincing as this!'. But the real clincher, fair reader, is Activision's response to Gameblog.fr's publication.
Activision sent an immediate cease and desist, demanding that Gameblog.fr remove the offending post and stop reporting on this information. Gameblog refused, citing their duty to their readers to bring honest and relevant news. Activision promptly informed them that they are blacklisted from the company and all Activision events. Gameblog had previous plans to attend an event for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron which Activision kindly informed them that they are no longer welcome to attend.
You have to ask yourself, why would Activision go to such extreme measures as to alienate a popular French gaming blog if this news wasn't credible? We'll know for sure in a few short months, but I'm starting to feel like Call of Duty: Mayan Warfare may never happen.
