The state of Louisiana's film and video office announced that the John Chu led production was coming to New Orleans but then a couple hours later retracted the statement at the studios request. Also according to the site the title for the sequel will be

Here is the report from NOLA.com:
The sequel to 2009's effects-laden action film G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, which is at least for now titled G.I. Joe 2: Cobra Strikes appears to be ready to begin shooting in the Crescent City(New Orleans) on Aug. 1, with the nearly four-month shoot continuing through late November.
On Friday afternoon, the state's office of film and video reported the production was preparing to come to Louisiana. Then, at about 2:30 p.m., it issued a retraction at the studio's request, saying no site had been officially selected. It did say, however, that the studio was "seriously considering" Louisiana.
GI Joe 2: Cobra Strikes will be released on August 10, 2012.
