Also available for : PC, PS3, Xbox360

The future of Call of Duty <i>is</i> the future; Activision is sending its flagship franchise to 2025. That means highly advanced weaponry, razor-edge robotics and drone warfare.<br/><br/> <object id="vid_af7836a5181993ba36058046022ea770" class="ign-videoplayer" width="468" height="293" data="http://oystatic.ignimgs.com/src/core/swf/IGNPlayer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="movie" value="http://oystatic.ignimgs.com/src/core/swf/IGNPlayer.swf"/><param name="" value="true"/><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"/><param name="flashvars" value="url=http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/05/01/call-of-duty-black-ops-2-reveal-trailer"/><param name="wmode" value="opaque"/></object> <br/><br/>Of course, it also means leaving behind a lot of tradition.
