Yes, you read the title correctly. This iteration of Call of Duty is going even further with the beloved Zombie Mode of the previous game with a whole new concept. On one map, JFK teams up with Nixon, Castro, and McNamara in order to save the Pentagon from a zombie onslaught.

Apparently, our modern day technology has advanced to the point that animation can appear as realistic as we want it to be. This can be said for Call of Duty: Black Ops. Treyarch’s seventh installment of the series has changed the way they do facial animation, but it has gotten to the point where it appeared too real. As animation director, Dominique Drozdz, puts it, “It was a contextual kill where you were twisting the neck. It was too much. The throat cutting [is] nasty, but that was worse.”

Because of this, Treyarch had to scale back and tailor the game to a more acceptable range. What do you think? Should they have done that or would you have been happier to see how far they could go?

There has been very little information about Call of Duty: Black Ops, but there have been a few trailers and the newest one reveals quite a bit of gameplay. What can you expect from Treyarch’s upcoming shooter? It seems like you’ll be following a group of elite solders on off-the-record missions, there will be tons of explosions, a Torque Bow, a lot of helicopters, snow levels, overly dramatic scenes, and space travel. Though they haven’t come out and said where the locations of Black Ops will take place, a UK website has posted details saying “From Cuba to the Arctic and the jungles of Vietnam,” and all of these locations seem to be featured in the trailer. It looks promising and definitely can’t be worse than the Modern Warfare 2 campaign. Check out the new trailer.
