Call of Duty: Black Ops

That's right, the next CoD has already been announced!

According to the original story that revealed the Black Ops name, the Treyarch-developed game will be set throughout the Cold War, and will feature key battles from across the period.

It will reportedly heavily feature segments from the Vietnam conflict - and culminate in the famous 1980 storming of the Iranian Embassy in London by the SAS.

Of course, Treyarch will be developing it this time rather than the Infinity Ward team. I just hope that this will be worth of the Call of Duty name.

I take it cold war is significantly in the past (i hate history) in which case i will not be buying this.

hate shooters set in the past.

1945 onwards aint hundreds of years ago, its modern history.

Plus im slightly horrified that you dont know what the cold war is (Though im sure most of you would say the same about my IT knowledge)

Anyway, i probably wont be getting it, bored of the same old shooters now. Just find them too repetitive.

i no that teh cold wa wasa war in america some tme ago. but old history fighting i just dont enjoy games like that.

CoD franchise needs to die tbh, and my opinion will stay that way unless this is VERY good.

Lol doubt it'll be historically accurate at all... the SAS outnumbered the terrorists during the Iranian Embassy seige, I can't see the developers sticking to that somehow...

And Mitch, it appears the game will be set roughly from 1960 - 1990, assault rifles existed then so the combat will be very similar to any modern day FPS...

Are you thinking of the Civil War? Can't believe you don't know what the Cold War is lol. Anyway, it's being published by Activision therefore I won't buy it.

EDIT: Trailer, from what you can see through the explosions and camera shaking it looks exactly the same as the last 3 CoD games. I wouldn't be surprised if Treyarch brings back vehicles in the form of helicopters or something.

No seriously, I'm genuinely frightened you don't know anything about the Cold War, Korea, Vietnam, Red Scare... ringing any bells? How about Soviet Russia?

That doesn't mean you shouldn't have at least a basic knowledge of what's happened. Imagine somebody asks you a question about the Cold War and you say 'I don't know what that is', they're gonna dismiss you pretty quickly lol.

So true every time I go to the pub I cannot remember it and I always go back.

@ Mitch epic fail cake, unless this game is amazing I'll be waiting for BF3 :D Although if this has dedi support and people start playing it them it might be purchased.

Trailer doesn't look too bad but can't really tell :s

Just /hate history thats all lol
