USA Today's game blog Game Hunters has an interesting detail on upcoming FPS Call of Duty: Black Ops. Along with the expected multiplayer, the Treyarch-developed game will allow four-player co-op.
The preview of the game provides a look into the Black Ops world as well as some background on the game's plot.The story is told through the eyes of multiple characters, and at least part of it takes place in 1968, just when the Cold War was heating up.
Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia said, "The team is really excited about creating a game in this period... We really felt like it was fertile ground for us and we could provide something fresh for gamers." That something fresh will involve the secret warfare carried out between the USA and USSR, back when Communists were bad, and badass.
The preview level played by USA Today was heavy on the stealth, with the main weapon being a modified crossbow, which Lamia says is "a great example of how elite black ops teams were permitted to equip themselves for whatever job they had at hand." The crossbow in the game is based on a military grade crossbow, and serves as a "dual-purpose weapon used for stealth, and one which when modified, could stealthily and precisely place a lethal explosive at range."
So now you know a little more about Call of Duty: Black Ops. Does that sound like something you'll pick up when it comes out on November 9?

zombies is a must. I LOVED WaW before the exploiting of the MP40...
sniping peoples heads off with the Kar98 is STILL my favorite thing to do...
I think Treyarch is a better overall developer than IW, so I do have high hopes for this game. and how can one forget the detail in the multiplayer? great maps, blowing peoples body parts off(loved this detail and missed it in MW2... like seriously, money flying out of a dead person? LAME)and how can one forget that treyarch did such a good job of keeping the game fun, for the most part, by a lot of good maps being released.
oh, and if they do what some are saying they are going to... that being getting rid of the ability to quickscope, that will make me lose a little love for the multiplayer.. I love doing that in close quarters, it's more reliable than pulling out a handgun, and besides, it's fun!

Seems like CoDBO is shaping up to actually be a worthy contender to (the now-fallen-from-grace) MW2.
And if we keep getting a steady stream of small tidbits of info like this, then it'll surely build up the buzz for Black Ops.
[IMO] Treyarch may, for the first time, actually make an excellent game! (In contrast to their previous games, and in comparison to MW2)
Here's hoping they include a *separate* disc JUST for the zombies multiplayer gametype (both Co-Op & Competitive). [I would like for the zombies portion to have a separate read-out on my "Games Played" Queue & it's own list of achievements/trophies.]
----------
Actually..strike those last 2 sentences.
I want Treyarch to make a whole, entirely separate Zombie Shooter game.
And they can include zombies from w|e era/opposition they want & h|e many of them they want, if not all. [e.g. Confederates, Nazis, Vietcong, Commies, Al Qaeda Terrorists, North Koreans, ALIENS, & et cetera]
But I want current-era weapons; none of those old guns/rifles from W@W (except for the alien ray gun; they can keep that in the game; just have to update the design/look).
And maybe include obstacle-building equipment (aside from boarding up windows/doors & rock walls).

i am praying this is nothing like MW2.i dont want to go into a game with a chopper gun destroying spawns anymore. i miss the times when YOU had to do the killing not the cpu racking up 10-20+ kills for you. all the over powered killstreaks made the MW2 crappy community pitch a tent the whole damn game. i also loooooove getting stabbed by an unstopping lightning fast ninja who just happens to know how to teleport with a blade into my face AS i pump 20 rounds into his gut with a p90.
MW2 is not even close to being a respectable online experience

All i want them to do is get rid of juggernaut, it blows my mind how someone wont die from a sniper bullet to the head! and obviously a zombie type game :P
boohoodman
i cant wait to pwn ppl with the crossbow online its gonna be like the intervention and quickscoping

Zombies was an additional mode Treyarch created that ended up being a success. In my opinion, the Nazi Zombies mode shows the creativity behind the studio. Imagine them putting their own ideas and creativity into the multiplayer, while at the same time balancing it. We might end up getting the MP we all truly wanted from MW2.
Treyarch listens to the community. They KNOW we don't like Commando! They KNOW we hate the idea of a Nuke! They've said so themselves on the WaW forums that they hate these ideas as well!
Just watch and see. This game will fix the series from abomination. (Unless Activision screws with Treyarch as well......)

people don't hate on WaW because of the maps, they hate on it because the base gameplay wasn't there and the weapon balance was terrible online.

I love how Infinity Ward only put out one crappy Map Pack for Modern Warfare 1 and 2 and everyone is ok with that but hates on Treyarch for making a better game with 4 Map Packs with all new content, not recycled maps. WaW haters get the fudge out of here.

I dont see what was so bad about WAW. Zombies was a good way to play with friends while relaxing at home, and casual gamers can pick it up & play. MW2 online was crap, honestly in real life if you bring a knife to a gunfight, you dont win! I liked the tanks in WaW because THEY WERE REALISTIC... MW2 stoped being fun after the first month, but i still play WaW.
XxxCxAxNxCxExRx
but who still plays WAW? its only for failures at MW2. it was the biggest waste of time and money. if you dont play MW2 why play at all? why would you waste money on a live account only to play horrible games like WAW. CoD is obsolete. just stop making them. theres like 7. thats more than enough! just stop failing already treyarch!

Zombie mode was the stupidest thing about WAW...It just felt tacked on and was a waste of time...The multiplayer was where it was at, aside from the stupid tanks it was my favorite COD to play online by far...
koolboricua
please no more zombie. i can only take so much of them.
jungleman67
forget zombies. I want dinosaurs or soviet ape soldiers.
mittens1231
we want zombies because it was so awesome. why toss away something that was so good?
Mystyr_E
what would it be called though? Nazi Commie Zombie?
the dirt
I hate that people are going to wrongfully associate this as a bad game if it doesn't have the ridiculous zombie mode.
Go play Left 4 Dead or Dead Rising. Leave Zombies out of this wartime shooter.

I really hope it will have local 4 player co-op so my buddies and I can play when they come over. Also, I'm really hoping this will get the bad MW2 taste out of my mouth.
unfungames
um....World at War had 4 player co-op so naturally this one would, too. Seems like the person who started this topic didn't know that! Anyway, the 4 player co-op in WAW was awful. A few of the missions were cut and you could just pick any of the other 14 and play through them. No achievements, no real sense of progress. Really bad co-op.

First loser, Congrats. Pat yourself on the back.

I think I can speak for everyone here... Do you have *bleeping* zombies or not?!
