<li>Most of the game is indeed, set in Vietnam, however there will be some missions outside of this conflict, as the game spans the entire Cold War, which amounts to roughly 60 years.</li>
<li>The games focuses on "hot points" in the history of the Cold War, i.e major Vietnam battles / incidents, the Cuban Missile Crisis, etc. The time span is "decades".</li>
<li>One mission will be very similar to one found in the current Call of Duty series, this could possibly mean Berlin? Reichstag / Berlin wall etc.</li>
<li>Weapons wise, there is a shotgun called the Dragon Breath, which uses incendiary ammo that sets enemies on fire (as seen in the trailer). Also included are the M16 and AUG, as already seen, however, expect them to feel different from their modern day versions.</li>
<li>The guy with the headband and the tattoos is not the main character, he is simply a friend and an NPC.</li>
<li>There are lots of stealth missions, like sneaking round camps and killing sleeping guards, similar to the start of Wetwork.</li>
<li>Reznov, as I pointed at in my previous thread, is indeed to return. He's apparently older and cooler than in World at War, but none the less Russian. Gary Oldman is also expected to return.</li>
<li>The engines is an updated version from that of World at War. Treyarch has taken nothing from the Modern Warfare 2, all the changes are it's own. According to the writers, the graphics are stunning. </li>
<li>A fully destructible environment was another thing I spoke about - "not everything will be destructible", but "if you expect it to, it will."</li>
<li>Lots and lots of film references, Platoon, Deer Hunter, Hamburger Hill.</li>
<li>Dedicated co-op, i.e not just a replay of the campaign, an entirely new story. No zombie conformation yet, but they want to "please the fans", so let's hope they're listening.</li>

To and fro the island.
Treyarch seems to be making all the right moves at this point. The game isn't going to be perfect, but it seems to be taking steps forward in the right direction. One thing I'm particularly pleased to hear about is the destructible environments, something that was a major flaw in a series attempting to be nearly identical to actual war.
I'm someone excited with the fact that the game is taking place in Vietnam, something I haven't expressed much in the past. Earlier this year, I learned quite a bit about the Vietnam war, and some of the things that took place throughout it. In the past I had never looked upon the war as one of any significance, but I have come to learn that it was a rather important war, and one unlike most wars fought by the United States. I'm curious to see how they're going to implement Nixon's policy of "Vietnamization", as that is when the America troops were withdrew, leaving the war in the hands of the Southern Vietnamese people. Perhaps from there on, or throughout the entire game, you will be playing as a soldier from the Southern Vietnamese army?
Call of Duty: Black Ops, is definitely turning out to be a much better game than I originally anticipated. Though we have yet to get any solid gameplay footage, I am confident that this game will be of high quality, and will address many of the issues that were present in previous Call of Duty games.

I'm definitely looking forward to this game! If it has even a slightly destructible environment, that'll be insane for the COD series. The dragon breath shotgun though, eh?
