Youtube user MrRoflWaffles took the speculation a level higher, stating in his You must login or register to view this content. that there is a mysterious link between the rumoured name of the next CoD and the release date.

Call of Duty titles typically release on the second Tuesday of November each year. This means that Eclipse would be released on November 13th, 2012. As MrRoflWaffles pointed out, a total solar eclipse will also be taking place on November 13th of this year. Check out this page on the official You must login or register to view this content. for the details of the solar eclipse.

Remember the downloadable zombie map Shangri-La from Black Ops? It included an Easter egg that after following several steps that involved puzzle solving, the moon covers the sun (an eclipse) and the lighting of the map completely changes, not to mention the sky.

So, what do you make of this? Will the next Call of Duty title be named “Eclipse?” If this is a marketing campaign by Activison, they sure are grabbing the attention of CoD fans.

They can name it "Call of Duty: Pancakes," for all I care, as long as there's zombies, Activison can have my $60 ^^

That article eclipsed many other 1st submissionsAwesome face

I am curious to see Treyarch's effort on its next release.
IW is slipping and this would be their chance to finally shine, but we may be seeing the slow death of the series.

It would be an incredibly broad step if they decided to do something such as a full zombie campaign or something of the like. True, there is a huge zombie-player fanbase that would love it, but CoD isn't usually about this sort of mode.


That's true. Would be awesome to see some sort of Zombies in the campaign, but it would really deviate from the CoD formula that keeps people buying the game each year.

Having Zombie maps in the DLC releases really boosted Black Ops popularity, it would be a mistake to not have it again. Thanks for your post Smile

Activision is only good for zombies, everyone will want the latest call of duty, play it for a few months then got bored of it and bitch about it. They fucked up black ops multiplayer they will end up doing the same to the new black ops but zombies will be better then it ever will be.

Take notice that November 13th 2012 is going to be on a tuesday. MW3 was released on a tuesday same with Black Ops, MW2 and I think COD4, and 5!
