(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); From my previous post (You must login or register to view this content.) i have shown all the things that have been realeased... Now there is some more Multiplayer and Single Player news.

In the coming days we expect a lot of new Black Ops content to be released, so we felt like bringing you back up to speed with what we know so far.

Last week a couple of community representatives flew out to Santa Monica for a first look at Treyarch's studio. Even though they had a great time and couldn't really find the words to describe how awesome they thought the game was, they're not allowed to talk about any details until after May 28th - this coming Friday. That also happens to be the day that Josh Olin's, community manager at Treyarch (aka. @JD_2020 »), wraps up his press tour in the United Kingdom. So expect juicy details tomorrow!

Multiplayer
Development is well underway but it's still a long road to November 9th, when Call of Duty Black Ops will hit the shelves. In the last couple of weeks things have started rolling with a couple of magazines covering the game, but also with opening the official Black Ops website » and the secretive GKNOVA6 » taking off to highs no man have ever gone before. So what have we learned about multiplayer so far?

First off: DEDICATED SERVERS. Yes, it has been confirmed by Treyarch's studio head Mark Lamia (source: CVG », thanks thebigrobbyrob) as well as by this T-shirt » worn by Josh Olin, a name you will be hearing a lot off, we're sure. It's most likely this will only be implemented for the PC version of Black Ops and not for the consoles, but when more information on this subjects arises we'll be sure to hit you up a.s.a.p.

Secondly, a BAREBONES mode is up for discussion. It's something the community screamed for in Modern Warfare 2, developed by Infinity Ward. They never got to implement it (for reasons unknown), but Treyarch is currently looking into it. Barebones mode is basically a mode that cuts through all the shit, sort of speak. Nothing has been decided yet but you can think about disabled perks and killstreaks and weapons without any attachments for example. Please join the discussion about a barebone modes here » and tell the team your ideas.

Third, developers have been asking for feedback a lot. Not just for the usual like what did you did and did not like in previous Call of Duty games, but also what your ideas would be on a controller scheme for people with disabilities. So if you feel like sharing your thoughts jump the wagon and make your voice heard!

Fun fact; Some of the multiplayer maps were up and running so early that they have actually been used as campaign levels, not the other way around!

Singleplayer / Campaign
Black Ops will be set in the Cold War-era, which is a pretty lengthy period of time after second World War in which the Soviet Union and the United States played the biggest parts. Although there was never an "official" war, there were many conflicts, espionage, propaganda, a nuclear arms race and the Space Race (which words can be seen in the reveal trailer). The war stretched from the Soviet Union (Russia) to Vietnam (1959-1975), Germany (1961), Cuba (1962) and the United States... So it's hard to pinpoint what exactly the storyline will be like. The Official Xbox Magazine (OXM) did mention it will not be a Vietnam game, it just happens to take place - partially - during this infamous conflict.

You will play members of the Studies and Operations Group (SOG), a secret branch whose actions are completely deniable.

In one of the missions you will climb in a SR-71 Blackbird », the iconic spy plane in the Cold War. This plane can be seen in the Reveal Trailer. After you have taken off, you'll be providing recon from space to troops below on the battlefield.

In another mission you will be shot down in a helicopter, crashing you in the Huong River and you will need to get past the huts build right next to it. This means a lot of swimming with just a knife to defend yourself. Exciting!

OXM also confirmed a couple of interesting new elements for the singleplayer though. At one point in the storyline you will be the pilot » of an helicopter. You will not just man the turret or shooting rockets, you'll be the one actually flying the thing. This worked out great for Bad Company 2 and we trust Treyarch to make it at least as fun to do.

General news
Black Ops is the first game for Treyarch which has their focus. Previously In the past, they had times when they worked on 3 games at once but now the entire (over 200+) roster is dedicated to the development of this single game. It will release on November 9th this year for PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the Nintendo Wii. It's currently not known if they will be developed for the mobile market too, we're looking at you iPad!

This will be updated when i find More Information.

Thanks a lot. Barebones mode would be a blast.

The idea of a barebones mode sounds awesome.

LOL yeah it does. or have like a set killstreak of 3, 5, and 7.

ha hell yea this sounds WAY better than mw2 maybe finally the reason why treyarch will surpass infinity ward this time is because they have their whole studio working on it unlike IW who always had their whole studio working on it.

Wow, sounds awesome. I cant wait to fly the helicopter. =D

sick yo, hopefully there will be awesome epic weapons that come a long with cod7 as well.

so....you get to knife fish?

This sounds ****ing sick, I'm so stoked for this game.

Hopefully this will be a lot better than the previous one. Judging by what I've heard, Treyarch actually cares what it's consumers think, so I'm really hoping they don't dissapoint.
