Josh Olin of Activision studios has been speaking out about Call of Duty: Black Ops to MCV, on the expectations after Modern Warfare 2, and if developer Treyarch plays 'second fiddle' to Infinity Ward. When asked how Black Ops would raise the bar after MW2, he replied “Modern Warfare 2 is an extremely successful entertainment launch, record selling, which is absolutely phenomenal. Every Call of Duty game has ratcheted the bar up for the next one, and we’re just ratcheting up the bar one step further. I think Black Ops is going to exceed expectations. This game is going to be huge.”

He also went on to say how Black Ops will end the sterotype that developer Treyarch is shadowed by Infinity Ward. “We’re going to let Black Ops speak for itself,” he said. “We’re always trying to make the best game we can possibly make, and with Black Ops it really is the best work we’ve ever done.” Olin also admitted Black Ops would have some touch competition from games like EA's Medal of Honor and Ubisoft's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, but the game will still “stand out in true Call Of Duty fashion”.

It's nice to see Activision acknowledge the efforts of Treyarch and not just focus on the success of Infinity Ward and Modern Warfare 2. I'm also not quite sure why they're worried about other titles, they themselves must know the Call of Duty series is completely dominant in the First Person Shooter genre.

Woot Woot, new game to look forward to!

I cant wait for this game hope it has less campers though

Looking at the competitors, even Call of Duty will have a huge run for it's money. That's judging on what I have heard so far. >.<

nice, i can't wait to play this game... and PS3 deserves a Beta

Can't way..... No gay perks ^^

Hopefully it will raise the bar! The next game is always better then the next one, because we are always waiting for it. Hopefully this turns out to be a good game and I cant wait

It's really becoming hard for me not to get over excited for this title. Modern Warfare 2, which I have recently warmed up to again, seemed to ruin the way I looked at the series. Black Ops, however, seems to be restoring the what makes the Call of Duty brand such a good one.

I'm looking forward to this game quite a bit after all of the news that has been posted up, and am really excited to see just how Treyarch is going to exceed expectations this time around. In previous discussions I mentioned how Treyarch should think outside the box, and from what the developers are saying, it seems that that is exactly what they're doing.

This game looks promising. If this had the Battlefield engine where everything gets destroyed, this will be epic

I can't wait 2 play it another C.O.D PLAT under my Belt
