Next Call of Duty game’s worldwide reveal coming May 1st

The next Call of Duty game's worldwide reveal is coming May 1st.

It's only been about six months since the release of Modern Warfare 3 and already the CallofDuty.com home page has undergone an overhaul to advertise the next installment in the Call of Duty series, presumably Black Ops 2.  A countdown clock has been added pointing to a "World Reveal" coinciding with the NBA playoffs on cable channel TNT on May 1st.

Much of the site is "classified", but the background image depicts a fuzzy outline of a figure similar to that seen on the cover of Call of Duty: Black Ops.  It's also the same figure that we saw in last week's poster "leak".

Black Ops 2 has long been rumored to be this year's installment of the Call of Duty series and given this new discovery, it appears almost certain that this is what it'll be.

Despite the game's May 1st reveal, it is still expected to release in November 2012.
