A listing for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 reportedly made an appearance on Amazon France today. French gaming website GameBlog reports the French site of Amazon posted and then removed a listing for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

In the first gallery image you can see the listing for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 with a place holder image on the left. Yes this could be easily achieved with Microsoft Paint, but the story gets more interesting.

After the listing for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 made its appearance on Amazon, two popular French gaming sites (http://www.jvn.com and http://www.jeuxvideo.com (see 2nd image in gallery)) and GameBlog.fr reported about this incident. These 3 websites were contacted by the French department of Activision and the request was made to kill the story. While Jeuxvideo and Jeux Video Network removed the story from their website, GameBlog.fr kept it, resulting in them being blacklisted by Activision.

With Call of Duty: Black Ops breaking all sorts of records  in 2010/11 and most recently being picked as the game with the best ending of all time by Guinness World Records, it’s wouldn’t come as a surprise if Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 was the 2012 Call of Duty title.

Either way, take what you read with a pinch of salt. Activision hasn’t officially announced 2012′s title and we don’t expect this to happen until May. But this doesn’t stop us from speculating!

Do you think the story reported by GameBlog.fr could be true?
