This is the uncut trailer for the new Call of duty: black ops
hope you enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtRnpC7ddv8

Interesting, thought i saw some Vietnam in there, as well as the SPAS-12. Im excited for this.

It looks fantastic. I could only hope they continue the nazi-zombie storyline somehow. There are ways they could do it, and just ending the story in Der Riese will blow.

I also hope that they buildings blowing apart aren't just for show or for special objectives in the storyline. Otherwise I can say that it looks like Treyarch will beat IW once again.

i am buying a xbox just for this.

just got my ps3, i will get htis

How long d'ya reckon the single player campaign will be? 15 minutes? 20 minutes?

I just hope that the gun sounds aren't as wimpy as in World at War. You can't promote hatred and genocide when the guns sound so wussy.

Probably more like 3-4 hours on Casual--discounting potential glitches that randomly cause bad guys to spawn right on top of you and murder you with fire.

Multiply that length by 6x for Veteran/Realistic and add a gajillion glitches where your faces EXPLODE!

I think they also said that they're adding a coop campaign, which would be pretty bitchin'.

WaW had a co-op campaign mode offline and online. It was IW that dropped the ball on co-op stuff. I just want them to stick the zombie mode back in and nothing like the spec ops mode. The only reason I have for this is that you can beat spec-ops, you can never beat zombies.

You say that like it's a good thing...

Not all games can last as long as Final Fantasy you know. The fact that it has a short campaign will mean that it hopefully has game modes that last a long time.

If the game does last 3-4 hours its like watching a really long movie. Almost as long as the LOTR trilogy. Also, too long of a campaign and it starts to lose any magic that it had making it a tedious and uninspired play.

Strawman. FPS's are not RPG's.

In any case, decent FPS's are usually 10-15 hours in length (Fear, Prey, Half-Life 2, Quake 4 - all of these games took 10-15 hours to complete). It's only with Modern Warfare did we start to see games that struggle to reach the 6 hour mark. For something of that price, I want more than a single afternoon's entertainment thanks.

That's just the campaign though. Fear lacked good MP as did Prey while Half-Life 2 lacked any MP at all.

Quake 4 I'm not too sure about, great game and all, haven't tried MP though.

You can say that it was strawman all you want, the same basic concept follows. A game with a long story will lack in MP while a game that is strong in MP will lack a long campaign.

Unless you look at RTS's which depend on the skill of the players the majority of the time.

I will add continued effort into my defense of CoD and WaW. I have had more time playing nazi zombies than any other game I currently own. That includes Red Alert 3, Elder Scrolls Oblivion/Shivering Isles, Mercenaries, and the Orange Box.

Note, I am not going to refer to past-gen games as it is obvious that most people have played them longer than any newer game.

As to the Orange Box and Oblivion, they are older, but they were new to me as I got them each for 9.98 at my job.
