Taking up where MW2 has left off, Trayarch will be developing a modern Call of Duty Black Ops game, not Vietnam like had been suggested multiple times.
We can't wait for our community to experience Call of Duty: Black Ops," said Mark Lamia, Studio Head for Treyarch. "We have focused our entire studio on this game, with dedicated multiplayer, single-player and co-op teams creating the most intense, gripping and riveting experience possible for our fans on all fronts."

This was leaked a long time ago, only now confirmed.
Vietnam will be in the game as it was in the leaked info. The name just isn't Vietnam.
It was also said that this will be in the modern style, so i'd guess that atleast one or two levels are in vietnam, purely to show the birth of the Black Ops, like it says it will show.
but what i mainly mean by it won't be Vietnam, is that the game won't be based on that era and gameplay only from what i gather.
But ofcorse all of this will in likely hood be told tonight when the trailer shows.
I will be Vietnam, cold war timeperiod, so lots of stealth in the "war" agaiinst Russia... Black ops fit.
Also it was already know. That it's Vietnam. Months ago treyarch had an add for voice actors for Vietnam missions.
If you don't believe me, kotaku just put up a new post confirming it.
Vietnam, Cuba, arctic AT LEAST.
Once again, this is probably against Russia like mw2 and cod4 just the cold war time period
BTW, THE BLACK OPS TRAILER COMES ON TONIGHT AT 1230am!
What i mean by its not a vietnam cod game it is set that your not going to be playing as a troop that was active during the Vietnam war, like most people suspected for the past months and so forth, your going to be playing as Black ops operatives and doing missions that are deemed black ops, likely assassinations, spying, sabotage, gathering intel, ect. thats all i ment, i don't disbelieve you.
This game. Seems. Overrated. Wayy too many cods coming out. I personally, am dedicating myself to halo reach.
Activision wants a Call of Duty game every year. That's why they alternate from Infinity Ward (practically defunct now) and Treyarch (Inferior).

There is no more IW, basically.
Activision made a smart move in firing them, they had so much hype, they lazily put together a broken game.
This is true to its fullest.
Modern Warfare 2, is a broken, unpolished game, covered by it's hype.
doesnt matter if it was a crappy game tho. It sold tens of millions of copies.
So that makes IW the bomb?
And it was 25+ million, only because of its hype, why was my point...
Half the people who bought it are little halo or gta4 kids who saw it looked cool, never even played a cod game before.
**edit** didnt like my first response
No, to the consumer it doesnt make IW the bomb. But to the publisher of the game (activison) it makes them a big deal, as Activision makes a royalty of some sort off each game sold. Which means that Activision has no logical need to fire IW, even if IW did rip them off, that is in-substancial to all the money Activision has and *will* make off IW.

Not interested in the slightest.
Treyarch has done bad jobs with all of its games so far. Treyarch is nothing but a glorified group of modders; they take IWs assets and make them worse.
Call of Duty 3 was abysmal, and Call of Duty 5 was worse than Call of Duty 4. It was still an okay game, but it was worse than a game that came out a full year earlier.
ehh Nazi zombies was alright
Soap you apparently don't read the news. About 30 or so of the senior staff was either fired or resigned. The whole thing is a mess now. There's lawsuits involved, Respawn Entertainment was formed by the previous presidents of IW, and according to insiders, IW is living hell.
That's why I say they are practically defunct now. Treyarch isn't as good as IW, however the zombie mode was very fun mini-game, especially since a huge amount of DLC was free for PC users :D
Modern Warfare 2 I really had fun with in the beginning until I started noticing the flaws of the game. Eventually I just found it to be so annoying to play. It's not a terrible game, however there's many elements that's destroying what could be a very fun game. The only people that play it now are little kids who don't know anything about Call of Duty until this one came out. There's better games out there to play. Go play some Rainbow Six Vegas 2, you can't go commando in that game :P

Yea. COD's going into a slump now. I'll buy a new one in 5 years if it's still a-goin'.
*Commando is gay. it's too good. You run through bullets...
CoD will probably still be goin in 5 years

Actually, I heard that IW didn't want to change the game to what Activision wanted (to what Activision thought would sell better), and IW refused to change it, so Activision fired them, and then made the changes they wanted. What was the finished product? MW2... Activision sucks.
I also heard that there used to be a TON of recoil on most of the guns in MW2 in the alpha stages or something, and Activision wanted it changed. They didn't want it to be too hard or something, and appeal to more people, therefore selling more copies.
