?Call Of Duty Black Ops 2' Leaked Info: Cover Art, Retail And Multiplayer Details, But What Does ?Eclipse? Mean? [PHOTO, FULL LIST]

There's been a lot of hype surrounding the next Call of Duty title, which is said to be a follow-up to 2010's widely popular Black Ops. However, recent leak indicates that Treyarch may have something different up its sleeve.

Retailer merchandising that has been leaked suggests that the term Eclipse could be in the game's title, confusing those who believe that a Black Ops sequel was a solely in the works. The rumored release date, which is November 13^th, also coincidentally falls on the second Tuesday of that month, which is when a solar eclipse is planned take place.

An image taken by a GameStop employee shows a display tower in the store that matches the Return for debriefing image leaked earlier, according to The Gamer Plex. But an additional detail was added that leaves fans wondering what could be in store for Activision's next installment of the first person shooter series.

The image shows three rows of empty cells across the tower with the words Eclipse Multi. The same GameStop source told The Gamer Plex informed the website of various marketing materials labeled Activision Project and Coming Soon, making the game's release seem more mysterious than fans may have thought. In the store's marketing book under the category of games that will be coming soon, the title was referenced as Call Of Duty: Eclipse instead of the expected Black Ops or an Upcoming Title filler.

With this info, I could imagine the image basically with 'Eclipse' part being the title of the game and 'Multi' possibly just meaning that it'll be on multiple platforms, writes the gaming news website.

It is unclear exactly what the term eclipse could be in reference to, but as TGP points out, it could be drawing from the previous Black Ops game's ending. One of the dictionary definitions for eclipse is a decline of some obscurity. This could be related to the campaign ending of Black Ops in which Mason, Hudson and Weaver were targeted for their connection to the John F. Kennedy assassination by the CIA in Operation Charbydis.

But there are other factors working in favor for a Black Ops sequel, such as potential cover art that surfaced. The title on the displayed on the rumored box reads: Call Of Duty Black Ops II, and shows a man holding a gun. This could just be a clever mock-up, but the release date printed on the supposed box points to a Nov. 13^th launch, written in European style.

A list of details about the multiplayer mode has also leaked in a PlayStation forum on April 22^nd. There's no telling whether or not his information is legitimate, but the full list is as follows:

Game Modes-

Escort ~ A game mode in which you escort a player across three flags to achieve victory. The enemy team killing the player will result in a win for their side.

Split Spawn ~ A game mode in which you spawn from a hellicopter, and climb down to get to the ground. The player starts with 3 lives. One player can control the chopper to let you climb down in different areas, as well as shoot from the chopper. If the chopper is destroyed, players can no longer spawn. Players compete for a central flag that takes 2x as long to capture than a regular domination flag. Either the death of all opposing players or the capturing of the flag will grant you a win. This game has 2 rounds.

Equalizer ~ A game mode in which players are switched to the enemy team upon death. Players will compete for a flag, which when owned, open up a power plant to allow the player to customize their class in game, get new weapons, and put on a juggernaut suit for their team only.When there are 2 players left on a team, they are granted with the power plant automatically, and pointstreaks up to a 5 point requirement can also be obtained. If either of the two players die, they will remain on their own team. The team with the most converts (kills) at the end will win. If tied, whoever is currently owning the power plant will win.
