Two months ago, this 4chan leak happened (posted to Reddit). The important part is this image in the leak:
Today, Xbox Canada community manager tweets an image. The image reads, "Presented by Xbox, 10am PDT, 1pm EST, May 4th 2015," in Morse code (source: IGN.)
World at War II confirmed.LE TROLLED

I thought Black Ops was the sequel to World at War

Triple-A FPSes have been fairly occupied with post-modern military shooters as of late. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a resurgence in WW2 shooters sometime soon, but it could be shortlived. We threw in jetpacks and other futury trinkets into the mix; take those out and we're stuck with the kind of FPS that burned everyone out from WW2 shooters towards the end of the previous decade. I just don't see how the WW2 shooter formula can be evolved from what World at War offered.
Personally I'd be more interested in seeing a WW2-themed variant of Counter-Strike more than anything; mostly out of curiousity if nothing else.

I thought Black Ops was the sequel to World at War I mean it technically is, but it's more like BO and BO2 was the story of Mason and his son and WaW was a story about Petrenko and Miller and the sequelness comes from them being in the same universe and one of the characters from WaW partially setting up the events of BO1. I mean it's more like a crossover than a sequel. Just because Fargo showed up in Warehouse 13, doesn't mean Warehouse 13 was a sequel to Eureka. Or Just because Batman has teamed up with Superman doesn't mean Batman is a sequel to Superman.

I'm honestly skeptical about another WWII game coming from Treyarch. It's just covered ground. The narrative thread behind Treyarch now that they have some clout is pushing new ground. Black Ops was cold war stuff, and BOII was the first push into the near future. Treyarch needed to make WWII games when they were an also-ran studio contracted to make new installments of what was already an established WWII franchise.
Frankly, I'd rather see a WWI era game than a WWII game. Nazis, Enfield rifles, BARs, G43s, blah, blah, blah. Between the first CoDs, WaW, RtC Wolfenstein, and so many other games over the years, the only argument for WWII is that it would be on next-gen, but I'm just burnt out on it. Let me man a Maxim machine gun until I shoot so many people that I'm sick to my stomach or allow me to try to survive a mustard gas attack. Trench warfare is a chilling chapter of world history with a very murky distinction between right and wrong and it would be interesting if a studio had the balls to try to tackle it.

If you are looking to next CoD rumors I found a weird one. Almost made a video about it. This random video showed up on Reddit: Claimed the next CoD will be called BorderLines and take place in a WWII that never ended. You can see the images linked on his video. But is weird because they changed. Two days ago it was this image: imgur.com/cWuEgIw Now they are changed to this image: www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4928972319001&set=a.2214031127168.60050.1739255447&type=1&permPage=1I browsed the guy's channel a bit. It was almost entire him vlogging about news articles and stuff. Not much in the way of editing, VFX, or photoshopping content. Some kid might be giving it to him but he didn't photoshop it. All of my sources say it is bogus though.

Source Engine WW2 FPS =/= Counter-Strike with WW2 theme I would say Counterstrike and DoD are pretty dissimilar with major differences between the two being movement, class system, economy, and game modes.

From the video/pics, the baldy in the second pic reminded me of Marlon Brando in 'Apocalypse Now'. With the 'borderlines' name I am also reminded of how much the current game has many similarities to 'Borderlands' one of my faves. Guns names and variants, supply drops looking like chests, and now superjumping and no falling damage. Just some observations.
Anyway, I could envision a followup of the cod series continuing the near-future warfare style. I could see a map on a space station where you can walk on walls and ceilings as well as a low- or no-gravity area. Or even float around outside in a space suit using exoskeleton to control your flight. That is the next frontier.

"World at War 2" does not mean "World War 2". I personally think its going to be world war 3. Which hasnt happened yet, so it will be in the future.

I think the next one will be post-apocalyptic, maybe what happens after Black Ops 2.
I don't think there is a lot to be done with WW2 without adding some fiction or something

I think the next Call of Duty should take place hundreds of years into the future while mankind is besieged by an alien federation made of numerous different species, all hellbent on eradicating humanity. Meanwhile, a lone marine discovers a colossal ring-like structure critical to ensuring his race survives.

I played it, and it doesnt have that Treyarch/IW COD "feeling" to me (just me?), and a smaller community. Anyway id nolife a Star Wars COD no matter how bad it is. How did you play it? It doesn't come out for another 11 months...
