Call of Duty: Black Ops Is Out This November

And, well, that's about it.

No Caption Provided
Activision and Treyarch have announced the name of the next game in the Call of Duty line. The game will be called Call of Duty: Black Ops. It will be released on November 9, 2010. "11.09.10" doesn't quite have the same ring to it as "11/10/09" did, but hey, since when have calendars been a friend to mankind, am I right?

A teaser trailer for the game will air on SpikeTV's GameTrailers TV tonight, so check your local listings for that. The brief bit of text posted on the game's official site also points people to the official Twitter account for Treyarch, as well as the developer's community dude, Josh Olin, for further updates.

So, since we're all in the dark about this one so far, let's open it up. What do you think the Black Ops zombies will be like? I mean, if it's not WWII, they can't exactly have Nazi Zombies, right? So... Islamic Extremist Zombies? Vietcong Zombies (otherwise known as Vietcombies)? Militia Overthrowing The US Government By Force Zombies?

@odintal:  I feel the same way. I'm not crazy about the CoD series anyway, but part 1 and 5 were very good shooters and the only games from the series that stood out to me!

Actually, now I'm just thinking that a parody of MW2 is the best option open to Treyarch. Not that they couldn't come up with something serious and good, like maybe an actual spiritual successor to CoD 4, but there's just so much opportunity to go beyond over-the-top.

I'll try to give Treyarch the benefit of the doubt since the year CoD:WaW launched they also released Spider-Man:WoS and James Bond:QoS so here's to hoping their facial textures don't look like vomit this time even though Infinity Ward did all the heavy lifting with the engine they used and don't blatantly rip from movies (a'la "Enemy at the Gates"). But even then, I'm just slowly turning my back on FPS (TPS baby!).

I've played all of them and enjoyed most of them but now that they've turned it into an annual money grab, I don't give a flyin' fuck about CoD anymore

" Why are people saying it looks cool and nice? Nobody has seen anything about it yet; no screenshots no videos. Lets see a Call of Duty game not in WWII and assuming not what MW2 took place. can we say America doesnt even need to be apart of it, but if theres anything left that Call of Duty hasnt looked at that was huge then its Civil War, but i dont think the Call of Duty franchise should take that direction. "
Civil War would without a doubt suck, guns from that period were shitty, in fact every time I look back or see a picture of one of those weapons I think they would have been better off using swords.

No wonder they pack their games with infinite respawn clown car rooms.

Despite all the story and such revolving the COD brand and Activision, I am still interested in COD Black Ops. In the end, the games themselves were pretty good, even if the backroom workings werent, so I'll keep an eye on this new trailer to be unveiled.

COD 3 and COD World at War were not bad games, they were just not exceptional. I don't think I'll buy this game, but I'll probably have fun playing it with some of my friends who are really into COD.

Meh, if Treyarch is developing I'll buy it.
 
WaW was actually one of the better  games in the recent CoD releases. Sure the tanks were unnecessary, and they had to create a giant turd in their overall balanced game (MP40), but for the most part I honestly felt that WaW was a sucess.

So is it CoD: Black Ops? Or just plain old Black Ops?

"Black Ops" sounds like modern combat than Cold War or Vietnam.
 
I guess we'll find out tonight.

Sounds interesting. I was hoping for a Vietnam, but this sounds promising. I need to have more information on the game though.
 
At least it'll probably be better than the unreleased MW3 now that IW has gone down the shitter, right?

Well looks like someone from IGN or Joystiq called it, about the subtitle of Black Ops. Can't remember who said it, either Justin McElroy or Greg Miller.

Black ops, I think this game is about the Black Panthers. I'd love me some all black crew trying to get the white man. BRING IT!

That name sounds awful!  Seriously.  It sounds like a one off expansion that they are kicking out to just ride the gravy train (which I guess they are doing).  Not a huge huge huge CoD fan, really after CoD2 on the PC, really fell off and only bought 4 and MW2 because it was a thing that all my friends had on their Playstations.

Wouldn't it be great if it took a new direction?
 Like a Squad based shooter? Republic Commando meets CoD? 
 
I'm getting a slight tingle in my pants just thinking about it. That could be that thing i'm taking penicillan for though.

I know it is cool to hate on MW2 and so therefor it is now uncool to hate on it.  But I truly do feel that it was a step back from MW1 and even WAW's multiplayer because the killstreaks were just too much and basically meant that he who snipes or camps best wins and I am not a big fan of camping a lot and I am a terrible sniper so I didn't enjoy it.
