Maybe just a coincidence but go to 1:06 on this video for COD Black Ops 2

You must login or register to view this content.

You will see a picture of a person in a Fawkes Mask which is a pretty unanimous symbol of Anonymous.

Here was Anonymous's response to this:



And Here is an article I found:

Online hacktivist group which goes by the collective name "Anonymous" responded to a trailer for the upcoming shooter videogame "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2" which portrays the organization as the enemy of the United States, with a YouTube video of their own in which they threatened to hack Activision, the entertainment company behind the game, defacing their website and disrupting their online servers.

The video, which was posted by ALEXIUS ANON on May 4 and currently has 1,549 views, defends Anonymous as an organization of, " fighters for freedom in every aspect of meaning," stating, "we are not terrorists."

Responding to the offensive trailer, which was released online last week, Anonymous has already stolen and made public the personal information of Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg, but now they are threatening to hack the company's websites and cause millions of dollars worth of online damage.

"This act will show you how serious our collective us and that we will protect any human who calls himself Anonymous," says the video's narrator, who wears a Guy Fawkes mask.



More Info/Twitter Battle?
Here's some more info about them on twitter:

+9000 Internets for a screencap of the #Anonymous / Guy Fawkes mask in the new Black Ops trailer. Tweet it to us! Happy
#Anonymous featured in new COD Black Ops 2 trailer - You must login or register to view this content. Hijack ALL the drones! (srsly…we’re kidding DHS)
COD Black Ops 2 - If #Anonymous are the bad guys it’ll really ruin our gaming experience if we have to shoot ourselves.
TRAILER: COD Black Ops 2 featuring #Anonymous - You must login or register to view this content. Hack ALL the things!! But seriously, nice attempt to stay relevant. ^_^
Wow, the new COD Black Ops 2 trailer would make amazing pro-CISPA propaganda! #LULZ You must login or register to view this content. #CISPA
RT @JeremyHarbaugh - why the hell is anonymous in the black ops 2 trailer? #AskYAN

The Twitter account AnonymousIRC, which has 279,000 followers, was a bit more direct:

Call Of Duty II: Black Ops 2 “…plot that seems to pivot on the threat of a hacker takeover.” Is this psyop against #Anonymous? :O lol
Activision’s CEO Eric Hirshberg DOX You must login or register to view this content. You must login or register to view this content. #Anonymous #OpBlackOps2 #WhoHacksAllTheCocks

Unfortunately, the YouTube video has been set to private, so it’s impossible to verify whether it’s the same as the one just above, or simply the one at the top. The 20-line Pastebay link is still up, but that’s to be expected since Pastebay is run by Anonymous.

Here are the first five lines:

#OpPirateAllActivision
presents Activision CEO DOX
Eric Hirshberg
DOB: June 1968
AGE: 43

The other 15 tell you his work address, home address, e-mail address, home phone number, work phone number, fax phone number, and how much he gets paid.

In short, Anonymous is mildly amused but overall not happy with Activision’s marketing move. That being said, the group has not yet collectively agreed to target the game company, although it has made public some of Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg’s personal information.



However I don't know if thats their twitter account, you can tell me..

How can it be officially done by anonymous? I'm pretty sure anyone who wants to be part of anonymous is, it can't be fake, although it might not reflect the whole group, or even the majority.

The fact they say "we" show they are talking about a group and not as an individual.
"we will take down your servers"
Blah blah blah.
