Last night, Treyarch released the teaser trailer for Call fo Duty: Black ops and we have to admit it looks great. Spliced together is a combination of CG and what seems to be in game showing combat, some of the ohter elements of action and some funky chopper action. Great work

With all the legal rambling, walkouts and respawning going on between Activision and Infinity Ward, you’d nearly forget that locked away in an office somewhere in the States are Treyarch hard at work at the next Call of Duty game that millions of us will probably buy on day one of release. But what will we be buying? Well we’re going to find out this Friday becuase Geoff Keighley has tonight tweeted that GGTV will reveal Treyarch’s new Call of Duty exclusivly on the show.

“This Friday’s GTTV on Spike will feature the world premiere of the next CALL OF DUTY.”

Exciting stuff. Thanks Geoff. We’re jealous of your job.

It looks like the Official Playstation Magazine has scored the exclusive first reveal of the new Call of Duty game. This new game will be the seventh on the series and is being handled by developer’s Treyarch this time out. We can’t wait to see whats in store for us in this new Call of Duty, especially since rumours have been flying around for months about the game, where it is set and what it will contain.

The full reveal will be in next month’s issue.

If a Tek9 report is to be believed then Treyarch’s forthcoming Call of Duty game, the seventh in the franchise, is to called ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops’. The leaked name drop supposedly comes from an Activision insider.

But wait, theres more. The game will apparently take us to different eras of warfare in the 20th and early 21st century. Were talking WWII, Cold War and Modern Warfare. This sounds like a Call of Duty greatest hits. Expect to spend a lot of time in Vietnam, Cuba and London.

Also included is World At War’s extremely popular Zombie Map Pack as well as dedicated servers for PC users (at last)!

I wonder what Activision makes of these rumours?

The guys over at VG247 have managed to get their hands on what appears to be casting call for the next Call of Duty. ‘Call of Duty 7′ will of course be handled by Treyarch this time out and although the casting call makes reference to operations in Vietnam, after close inspection of the casting call document, we here at TGL are going to suggest that, this wont just be a ‘Vietnam War’ themed game. In fact the game, could be more of a ‘Cold War’ themed affair.

The casting call is looking for “voice over/motion capture” for a “video game” by Activison. The character Frank Barnes is decribed as being part of an elite Vietnam unit know as the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam-Studies and Observations Group. The call looks for four actors in total. While references to Vietnam are very real and tangible, the call also looks fora female spy Kristina Ivanova, who speaks English and Russian and “has a network of contacts behind the iron curtain”.

What does this all mean? Well, maybe, suggestions of a Vietnam themed Call Of Duty are only half right. The game could have a much wider scope and could possibly encompass much more of the ideology and conflict synonymous with the cold war era. But then again, we could be totally wrong. What to you think?
