All we know is you can pre-order it, and there's a blog. Release date is set for November 9, 2010.

Let's see how many people go for this one.

Call of Duty returns this November, but this is a Call of Duty like no other, this is Black Ops.

Now you will witness the birth of the Elite Special Forces and take part in off-the-record missions using unconventional weaponry to get the job done! From Cuba to the Arctic and the jungles of Vietnam.

Call of Duty: Black Ops features stunning cinematic graphics and intense gameplay that puts you right at the heart of the action!

I'm seeing the stunning, cinematic, and intense buzzwords in there. Oh boy.

It already sounds like it's going to suck.

And yet, thousands of people are still going to buy it.

People eat the CoD shit up after Modern Warfare. After people bought World at War they realized it wasn't as good, and then they either:

a) sucked it up and just played it and kept playing online
b) sold it and went back to playing CoD 4

I kinda foresee the same thing happening here.

Never played it, but I thought a lot of people loved WaW MP? Or was it just the introduction of zombies?

But I 'unno. Not interested in this at all, either way. Nothin against Treyarch, but the little joy I get out of CoD doesn't come from bi-yearly reiteration

A lot of people liked the Nazi Zombies, but I was very whatever about it. I played it online because most of my friends enjoyed playing it.

It was decent for what it was worth.

XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii

This literally shows me nothing.

And it looks a little too crazy to be considered Black Ops. I mean wasn't the original Splinter Cell more black ops stuff when you were running around in area's you weren't supposed to?

I personally enjoy WWII Shooters more than modern warfare, I don't know that's just me. WaW I didn't like though, I really enjoyed Call Of Duty 2. As for modern shooters, I think medal of honor is going to be sweet!!

Yeah because Treyarch was the group that took it upon itself to make WaW, which is inferior to the IW WWII shooters. At least they didn't try and go back to them again.

The CoD franchise has nowhere to go but forward.

Well that's not true, it has tons of backwards spaces to go as well.

Treyarch gets a bum rap, but I don't care for MW much anyhow.

They get a bum rap because they tried to give a really really good FPS franchise a shot and they didn't do as good of a job on it.

That's the issue really.

More Call of Duty: Black Ops News & Previews

Something just feels off about this trailer

magus113 · 05-19-2010, 01:59 AM

It seems a little too in your face for Black Ops, like they thought it would sound cool so they put it in the title.

It also seems like they're trying too hard to have the same presentation and cinematic effect that IW used in their Call of Duty campaign.

And there's not gonna be much different in the multiplayer aspect I'm sure.

These yearly releases have seemed to have turned me off from CoD a bit.
