Latest Call of Duty game heads into the future...

It wouldn't be a new year without a new Call of Duty game, the popular franchise annually shattering sales records. According to online statistics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_of_Duty:_Modern_Warfare_3#cite_note-usanduksales-9), 2011's Modern Warfare 3 sold 6.5 million copies within 24 hours of going on sale in the U.S. and UK alone - grossing $400 million - making it the biggest entertainment launch of all time. Despite these amazing numbers and obvious fanbase, officially licensed Call of Duty collectibles have been few and far between. Could it be that generic modern military toys lack mass appeal? If that's the case, Activision's next installment looks to be changing the rules.
Slated to hit retail 11.13.12, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 takes the first-person shooter fight into the future, introducing new sci-fi themes such as hovering aircraft, advanced body armor and weapons... even walking mechs. Sounds like a natural fit for toys to me...
Check out the reveal trailer below.
