COD: Black Ops dated


We have a date, people. Modern Warfare 2 was released 11/10/09, and keeping in the number play, Black Ops is being released 11/09/10.

Further, this product listing came from a major UK retailer, spilling the beans about the plot:

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!

This is incidentally right along the lines of the rumors we picked up back when.

COD7

So, this guy on Mixi who I met and gamed with, he’s a total COD/Nazi Zombie aficionado. He posts something about playing NZ almost ever other day. He’s a nut, but he knows his stuff. He recently posted about the upcoming COD7, which is presumably made by Treyarch, the makers of COD5 aka World At War. Here are his points:

* The title will be Call of Duty 7: Black Ops
* Goes on sale November 2010 (dunno if this is in Japan, in America, or everywhere)
* The stage is the cold war, the Vietnam war, Cuba, South Africa
* There is a mission in 1980 Iran at an embassy, where you play as the English SAS. There are neighboring battles.
* The popular zombie mode from World At War is back
* The dedicated servers for the PC version (recently made extinct in MW2) are coming back

So, if this information is accurate, it seems that Treyarch is going to develop this game, and that they are listening to the fans. Also, here’s a pretty fair review of World At War to refresh your memories. I think they make an important point about the grittiness of the cut scene footage that draws you in and sensitizes you to the conflict.
