AusGamers chatted to Treyarch community manager, Josh Olin, who spoke in detail about the game's rich story, talked dedicated servers, explained the team's multiplayer focus and revealed more of the technology behind the game.
From the interview:
"AusGamers: So we're talking with Josh Olin, Community Manager for Treyarch and Call of Duty: Black Ops. Now Josh, just so you know, I'm going to avoid any IW-related questions...
Josh Olin: Everybody has asked that tonight though, I'm going to be disappointed if you don't.
AG: No, no because I think I'm gonna get more out of you if I ask about your game.
Josh: Well played, sir."

Chance Glasco, one of the co-founders of Infinity Ward and creators of the Call of Duty franchise, has claimed that Activision once pressured the studio to include an invasion of Israel by Iran.

Former CEO describes lawsuit filed by Swedish pension fund as a "collateral attack" on Activision Blizzard.
Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."
In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.
To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7
Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD
Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.
But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.
The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:
Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.
They didn't.
Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.
Not more COD -_-
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL. Honestly the only thing that stands out for this is zombies. IDC for the multiplayer and never will just shut up and give us info on zombie mode.
My FPS fix this fall will come courtesy of Bulletstorm, Crysis 2, and Brink. Thank you very much. Have a good day.
The most hilarious part of this game is it will still run on a modified Quake 3!!!!! engine. Im sorry Treyarch - but i need a true next gen game. the customization + socialization of multiplayer sounds cool . ... but it will still have all the little hook ups modern warfare 2 has. Pass
I am quite excited for this game because for one I like call of duty and I like the treyarch developers.
Simple as that, and now that they have dedicated servers it is even better, and the zombie mode is also a huge plus.
Hate me all you want but I think this game is gonna be awesome
