I was on the fence about posting this because, I mean, “Black Ops 2 coming out in November?” Stop the presses, that’s like “Call of Duty is coming out this year”-type news. But the game does seem to have a clever codename, unless the codename is actually its title.
Rumor has it that the marketing materials we were leaked earlier this week have shown up in various GameStops this weekend, and that at GameStop the game is being referred to, internally, as “Call of Duty: Eclipse.”
That carries the whiff of a project codename to me, not necessarily a title. (Or, as commenter the_seamonkey points out, it could be the PlayStation Vita version of the game.) What’s really interesting is that, as this guy points out, on Nov. 13, 2012, there will be a total solar eclipse. Passing over much of the South Pacific Ocean, the only populated region in which it will be visible is Cairns, Australia. But still: total solar eclipse. And Nov. 13 happens to be the second Tuesday of November, which is the day on the calendar Call of Duty has released since 2008.

We’ll probably just have to wait until next Wednesday, May 2. The date is on these posters and it probably indicates a reveal event for this game.
