Zaptn.

The black cylindrical object at the top of the picture looks like a thermal sight to me

I hope BO2 multiplayer isnt full of stupid drones like the recon drone and assault drone like in MW3, to me the quadrotor will just be one of those killstreaks thats only obtained from a carepackage because its not good enough to select. [brains] anyway :D

These people have nothing to do with films but: Alan sugar from the apprentice, owner of the amshold business. Keith lemon celebrity juice/lemonade Norris cole coronation street Gene hunt Ashes to ashes/life on mars.. Totally random selection of people but would be quite funny :lol:

I would like 2 maps like in BO, to keep us going until the first DLC. And for hardened+prestige to have all waw and bo maps in. I think too many maps would make DLC not as popular

The April 24'th reveal was Tacitus in the same font as on FPSrussias shirt.

The moon thing is interesting, and in the video he was specifically referring to the website not just the word. Maybe the next map will be them travelling the moon and ending up in Tacitus? Still dosen't make the website completely un-related :|

Suppose we will have to wait until Howard replies, I agree on it linking in with CoD. If it does have something to do with CoD, then what was his business doing back in 2007? [Edit]*Woodysgamertag done a video on Tacitus, and he said that he thought it was related to BO2*

Hmmm :? What actually is this business supposed to be? The Discovery comes from play thing is obviously a popular quote of there's. There 2007 logo reminded me more of a pretzel then the treyarch one

Wheres the april 24th reveal? Its 7 at night in the UK it'l be the 25'th before the 24'th ones revealed over here! :lol:

Tacitus means silence in latin.

Howard Coale is a real person though, this is his company that has been around for a very long time, this is him: http://www.linkedin.com/in/coale he's just a business man, I don't think he's related. I've seen it, brother. I get that this guy may just be a failed innovator that tried to do something magnificent and didn't succeed, whose dreams were revitalized by this miracle viral. This may have saved his career. Shoot, I'm sure Mr. Coale himself plays his fair share of video games. But here is something I found: Tacitus is licensed under Howard Coale, while Coale himself is currently employed to Sapient according to his LinkedIn page. Guess what company is Activision's digital marketing agency? Sapient. Moreover, Sapient actually helped Activision advertise and launch Modern Warfare 3. http://www.adweek.com/news/advertising- ... hip-133455 I am beginning to see a connection here. Yes!! Yes!!! [brains] to you!

Maybe so, but it dosen't add up for me. FPSrussia puts a video out wearing a tacitus t-shirt Then a dead business comes back to life with the same name within the video being up for not even 48hrs. (I mean tacitus is a completely random word, 2 completely different new things with the same random name coming up within a day dosen't seem right to me) There logo resembles treyarch's. Logo is orange, same as his shirt. The tacsuit anagram. Yes we could be going to far, but treyarch has kind of took there marketing strategy to the next level this year. All will be revealed shortly i suppose. :)

Tac suit? Tac being short for tactical? Tactical mask? As for Howard Coale, thats the only thing in the way of me completely believing that this is cod related. Maybe treyarch approached the man? Highly unlikely but anythings possible. Tac suit.. Nova 6 crawlers? If this is to do with CoD, maybe its treyarch's way of telling us about zombies?

Hmm, but why would someone completely 'revive' a failed business from however many years ago, and attempt to build some sort of global scientific data thing? ( ) just because his desolate website got a few visits? FPSrussia has been tweeting about tacitus meaning it is of some relevance, and apart from something in roman times/jesus times this is the only modern information on tacitus. I don't think its completely irrelevent. There logo is orange, tacitus was written orange on his shirt, and the logo also somewhat resembles treyarch's. I think there's too much of a link for it to be a coincidence

I've just thought of something pretty wild... Im reading the taticus website and the word 'ashes' stood out, i don't know if anybody watched it on TV but who remembers the tv series on BBC Ashes to ashes and life on mars? And that storyline was were a man was put in a coma in present times and sent back to 1970, were he tried to fight back to his present day life. Pretty wild but treyarch could be doing something similar with the future theme? Some kid lives in future times, gets nocked out and sent back to mason/hudson times? who knows.

Every time i check this site there's some new words on it, something definitely weird going on. It could be the new Gknova6. I do believe this has something to do with cod, randomly coming back to life as soon as the black ops 2 reveal is announced. The fact that it begins in 2012-2013 which will be black ops 2's 'Prime' years.

As you can see like i said up there ^, if you go on the website now the email address is gone and there is an extra line of text. All i done was put http://www.tacitus.com in the URL bar The logo does resemble the Treyarch one to some extent?

The email address is no longer on the page, owner must've removed it. Another sentence has been added onto the text! ''Discovery comes from play'' Which is inbetween the second paragraph and the Stay tuned line!

On another thread ccm404e (credit to him) decided to search tacitus in the URL bar with .com/.co.uk/.org on the end. I searched Tacitus.com and got something different... http://www.tacitus.com/ If your getting something else when clicking on the link then this is what it says, i cant copy/paste and photobuckets playing up, so here: Tacitus rising, A visionary project begins again in 2012. Once there was a company named tacitus. It lives no more. But rising from its ashes is something new: a league of experts in different fields, from different industries, institutions, companies and universities. Experts in global financial markets, game design and development, biological research, genomics, astrophysics, risk analytics, interaction design, immersive data visualization and skateboarding. In 2012-2013 we're building a global collaberative project focused on prototyping ground breaking tools for deriving insight from the most complex data-sets on earth. Stay tuned. That what is says on the webpage, and to the left of it is a image. When i get photobucket to work i will post it. **Photobucket now works** Thanks for reading :D

PC World! all those computers... Or currys? Or didn't they merge together :?

I think this killstreak is just going to be the new assault drone. Requires too many kills, MG's too weak and probably has extremely low health. However it does kind of say that BO2 is going to be set in the future? About 2020? 2025? If it is i hope they don't go completely over the top. Keep multiplayer realistic! Woodysgamertag done a video mentioning the guns on his desk and the shirt he was wearing.

Good idea! It'd be good to do it in the Apple shop also, all those computers ipads iphones macbooks :lol:

That video shows the Intel HD 2000 in use, and the kid thats playing it has a 2.4GHz processor so it must be decent

As you'l know in the sticky thread up there ^ that on callofduty.com there 'advertising' the reveal for another call of duty game. (Presumably BO2/Eclipse) Every day a new screen shows a different picture, however... there are 15 screens in total. SOME screens have dates on them (April 24'th 25'th 26'th 27'th 28'th 29'th). There is NO 30'th. So there are 7 dated screens (including the one revealed today) and one says 'world reveal may 1st' So that leaves us with 7 screens un-dated. Does this mean were going to get 7 more bits of info during the 23'rd/1'stmay or are those screens going to be used later on in the year? Also you can move them around... Why?

Just woke up. 7 in the morning in the UK. Go on twitter on phone. See David vonderhaar write 'Callofduty.com return for debreifing'. Never got on my laptop this quick before The picture looks like a clock to me :? with the yellow circle being the centre?
