Thought someone might have mentioned this by now but I'm sure this will interest a few people. Just saw on T3 website that.

Call to Duty follow-up to Modern Warfare 2, takes place in the Cold War and is out in November. Publisher Activision today revealed the official release date for the next instalment in the Call of Duty franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Although the console formats are still undisclosed, the game will be available from 9 November 2010. A Black Ops website, where you can sign up for updates, is now live at Call of Duty: Black Ops | Age Gate.

Made by treyarch this though isn't it? Who we all know aren't as good as Infinity Ward. But we shall see what this is like I suppose.

Larkino · 30-04-10, 08:53 PM

in the cold war there wasn't any fighting though? lol. perhaps treyarch are making a genre move into RTS

Diesel · 30-04-10, 09:46 PM

Yeh true Cold war can't even really be classed as a war, gonna be hard making a game out of that...Unless its like a stealth game where you assasinate people or stuff...

ainsleee · 30-04-10, 10:13 PM

Im going to buy it what ever happens. Treyarch made a half decent game in COD:WAW but failed at COD3. So if the pattern continues like this then black ops will be awesome!

Larkino · 30-04-10, 10:18 PM

COD3 was a million times better than WaW. This game is going to be swag. They should've done Vietnam. But then I guess they have to make a game based on a war they won

**rider900** · 30-04-10, 10:25 PM

Thanks, didn't know what it was going to be called. The game will probs be rubbish haha, IW make the best COD's.

for gameplay no, but as a general company i think they are much better... infinity ward make their games hackable to feck and dont learn from their past mistakes *cough* COD4 *cough* which was a great game but they then went and made a few little errors they could have learnt from COD4 and put them in MW2... plus **** like commando

treyarch are **** hot with patches and updates etc. where infinity ward break other things when they patch stuff... just look at the carepackage glitch, they had to patch that twice cause they did it half arsed first time

just my opinion on that matter and i could go further

if they can sort the gameplay out online then it could be pretty good... but the cold war is a hard one to do

Hope the supermarkets do it cheap again!

I heard a rumour that Infinity Ward will be no more soon.

If this ends up anything like WaW I won't be buyin it, Personally I thought that was one of the worst FPS I've ever played.

Where did you hear that? And why would they be no more? They've made millions with COD4 and MW2.

Totally agree with you there, if it's anything like WAW I won't be buying it, I hated that game!

I don't know too much about it, only what I've heard through the grapevine, but its something to do with what this article is on about

This is bound to be worth a play although I doubt it will be as good as the MW series. Activision definitely need something to bump up their image though, with 38 ex/about to leave Infinity Ward staff members currently suing them, they're not looking too hot.

Although the 10 year deal they've signed with Bungie might be enough for them to shrug off the soon to be closed IW...

Long story short...

Activision fired the two heads of IW (Jason West and Vince Zampella) who then went on and filed a suit against Activision for unpaid royalties and the rights to the Modern Warfare franchise.

Since then 28 other employees have left Infinity Ward, some of whom have been hired by the new studio West and Zampella have set up. And 38 employees (including some current ones) have also filed a suit against Activision for unpaid royalties.

No doubt Activision can just replace those that left and continue with the franchise if they win the suit and retain the IP but any future games could end up being complete crap as they've lost a lot of the guys that made the franchise what it is.

The story can be found here.

Well I hope the quality of the games get better and not worse anyway.

On that same website, posted in this thread somewhere, there's a post about Activision are releasing 3 new games between now and April 2012. Normally it's once a year, every November but now the games might be rushed, and not that good

I like IW, don't like Trearch games as much, just hope the quality of the games stay the same.

cava2610 · 01-05-10, 02:09 PM

looks ok. Activision is just screwing cod franchise up though.
I hope they win the rights back for the franchise because Jason West and Vince Zampella started respawn entertainment with ea so hopefully we will see another cod from the creators. Pretty much most of the guys quitting IW will go straight to respawn.
