A brand new trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops aired last night, and this time, it doesn't cause epileptics to have a fit. It's packed with details, so I'll try to go through some of the more obvious points, I'm sure you guys will pick up on the stuff that I've missed. Also, I've got 5 brand new Black Ops screenshots, straight from the official site for you. They pick up on events in the trailer, just in glorious hi-res.

First off, we see what appears to be a basic airstrike, which isn't surprising. It could also be napalm, as used in Vietnam. It reminds me of that scene in Platoon, seeing a whole tree line go up in flames. You can expect a bog standard air strike as a killstreak.

Next up, we have an FPS view of a silenced AUG, just before you smash you a window after rapeling down. More on that later. Anyway, it looks to have standard arctic camo, and has a scope, as seen in the MW2 campaign.

Here we see a character rapeling, again. I could post multiple screenshots from the trailer of a similar nature, as it seems rapeling through windows in stealthy, surprise-attack style is very popular in Black Ops. Also look at the environment around him - it looks like hell on earth. One thing I've noticed is that nearly everything in the trailer either gets blown up, or burst into flames. Could we see a Battlefield like engine where anything can be destroyed?

Next, we see the return of the good old Spas 12. Obviously an older version to what we know in MW2, it crops up in the trailer a few times, both in a FPS and trailer point of view.

In a post I made a week ago, I spoke of a Crossbow weapon. Well here it is, looking even more badass than we all expected. Complete with arctic camo, and a huge scope which reminds of the .50 Cal, killing people medieval style never looked so appealing.

Now I'm not quite sure what this is, obviously it's some form of Bazooka / RPG like weapon, but if someone could inform me of the actual weapon name, I'd be grateful. Anyway, it certainly seems to be capable of the standard amount of destruction we expect from previous Call of Duty launchers. I especially like the ACOG-like scope. *Apparently it's a M202 Rocket Launcher.

As confirmed in the previous trailer, the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane will make an appearance. Here we have a stunning looking screenshot, just as the Blackbird flies on the edge of space, at supersonic speed. I can't wait to see this scene in high definition, the visuals look great.

And finally, the trailer ends on a climactic high, of what appears to be a base jump, in other words, sky diving. Many fans have requested sky diving, and well, here it is. Hopefully, it will be one of many stand out set pieces to feature in the Black Ops campaign.

Finally, the dialogue. The whole notion of the speech reminds me very much of Price's little speech at the end of the Modern Warfare 2 campaign. "History is written by the victors", compared with "Everything you know is wrong...Just because they write it down and call it history, doesn't make it the truth" I doubt it has any connection, but it certainly seems Treyarch's main message is that this is what really happened, not what you read in books or see on TV.

Extra Stuff That I Didn't See First Time Round:

Missile base in the background? With missiles firing!?!? This didn't happen in regular history did it?

A date. July 21st 1961. We knew the setting in time anyway, but this is just conformation. Also, apparently the letter says something about chemical weapons, transmissions containing alarming and cryptic something' and 'an unknown gas of potentially far greater potential for devastation'.

Could this shady fellow be our good old friend Reznov, the Russian sniper from World At War? It looks alot like him, could he be Treyarch's version of Cpt. Price, the re-occurring character?
