Call Of Duty - Black Op's
Discussion
Call of Duty: Black Ops is on course for a scheduled release date in November 2010 and sources have revealed that it will be set between World War II and the present day.
The Treyarch-developed shooter is rumoured to take gamers across the planet, including missions set in Cuba and South America, according to Call of Duty website experts Tek9, who have talked to 'undisclosed sources at Activision'.
Players will also reportedly get the chance to play as a member of the Special Air Service (SAS) during a close combat mission in the Iranian embassy siege during the 1980's.
The game is also hinted to feature the popular “zombie mode”, in which players are confronted with waves of zombies, an extra that was made popular by Treyarch-developed Call of Duty:World at War.
PC gamers will be given the additional bonus of dedicated servers according to the report, to alleviate some of the problems gamers experienced with previous titles.
Activision have refused to confirm or deny any of the rumours so far.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, developed by Infinity Ward rather than Treyarch, has already become Britain's second best-selling game despite only being launched in November 2009.

“… With a scheduled release date of November 2010 the game is still in full development but undisclosed sources over at Activision have stated that “Call of Duty 7 will be set in recent history, between WWII and present day”. Besides this information the sources have also confirmed that some missions will take us to Cuba and South America, hinting again in the direction of a Cold War / Vietnam based game.
Also revealed was that in certain missions the players are able to play as a member of SAS (the Special Air Service), the principle special forces unit of the British Army. One of these SAS missions pitches you in close combat during a mission in the Iranian embassy in London during the 1980’s.
It has also been confirmed that Call of Duty 7: Black Ops will feature the popular zombie mode, in which players get to shoot down hordes of zombies, a feature that could not be seen in the Infinity Ward produced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
And last but not least, dedicated servers will also be part of the new Call of Duty game, much to the delight of PC Gamers across the world. After Activision fired Vince Zampella and Jason West from Infinity Ward, it seems like they are taking yet another step back from the direction they had taken with Modern Warfare 2 by re-adding dedicated servers.”
Although Infinity Ward has made the more successful games of the franchise and better single player games, I’m leaning to favoring Treyarch now a little more because of what they do for the fans. Infinity Ward gets to play with the modern war theme, but Treyarch is forced to play in history which many players are tired of. Yet, they make the best of it and include very important gameplay elements that IW fails to do.
Call of Duty: World at War included co-operative gameplay in its story. Not only that, but it was 4 player! Adding to the co-op fun, a feature I deem necessary in most current generation shooters, they even included another co-op mode in Nazi Zombies, which again let players team up with three friends to defend a position.
Modern Warfare 1 and 2 however, included no co-op play in their campaigns and the spec ops mode in MW2 was limited to 2 players. Making the situation worse for PC players, IW and Activision would not allow for dedicated servers, something that was certainly not in the best interest of gamers. Treyarch is definitely bringing it all for their next CoD game and they are seemingly bringing back Nazi Zombies and dedicated servers for PC players. While there’s no word yet on co-operative gameplay in the campaign, we expect it to be there like in World at War.
Call of Duty 7: Black Ops is due out this November for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC (with dedicated servers!)" <----good news for PC players Treyarch actually listens to their fans

I'm one of the wierdo's who actually prefers WaW to MW2. So this sounds like just the ticket.
