It's actually November 9th...

Rumour has it that it's a Cold War era Delta Force game - the teaser trailer on Callofduty.com definitely shows Vietnam era choppers and a space race spacesuit.

Comes over as a sort of Call Of Duty: You Only Live Twice...

Oh boy another "special forces game" coming out again. I think that genre has been played out.

I'm expecting Activision to merge their Call of Duty and Guitar Hero milked franchises into one game someday soon.

"Oh crap! There's another wave of enemies incoming!"
"Quick, use Star Power!"

I'll probably end up getting it

I have yet to reach my first prestige on CODMW2 yet and another MW is on the way.

I will get this one but not a launch this time round, three COD games is enough to have at the preset, give me time to at least complete the single player on COD5WAW.

sill haven't bought W@W. i went from MW1 to MW2...

Same here. I keep meaning to get it but haven't yet.

World at War was pretty cool, but it could get extremely aggravating on Veteran. Treyarch is a better developer than people give them credit for. Black Ops is probably going to be my last CoD game, though.

I don't even think I'm going to bother with black ops. I'm getting pretty sick of FPSs as a whole

But FPSs are good for your health, more so than any other type of game:

Whereas it was recently announced that "brain training" games only help you do "brain training" games...

I'm looking forward to the spread of weapons/equipment as its supposed to cover several decades.

 

[V'ger]

i am gonna see closer to the time if its worth buying as i hardly go on MW2 now

Here's the uncut reveal trailer for Black Ops, which debuted last night during the NBA playoffs. Personally, I think it looks awesome. The 1960s/1970s are just modern enough to keep things interesting without all the high-tech gimmickry we saw in MW2.

That crossbow is probably going to be a pain in multiplayer, though.

Looks cool but I don't really have much faith in Treyarch

last week's Zoo (finally read it today) had a preview: locations include Vietnam, Cuba, Angola and the USSR. you play as a US character and a Soviet. your character WILL TALK IN-GAME! MP will have new modes and some kind of system for making it more even - no more 13 year old snotty brats pwning your butt all night.
