UPDATE: CVG can confirm that Activision has pencilled in a November release date for the Call Of Duty: Black Ops. Black Ops will include gameplay in the late 1960s, during the Vietnam War.
Following this week's rumours, a senior UK trade source today told us that the Treyarch-developed Call OF Duty: Black Ops is scheduled to arrive a full 12 months after last year's Modern Warfare 2.
They added that much of the game would be set during the Vietnam conflict - and takes particular influence from classic movies Apocalypse Now and Platoon.
"It's going to be November again - just as with World At War and Modern Warfare 2," they told CVG.
"Activision believes that it can own Christmas 2010, just as it has in the last two years.
"Development is on course - and Treyarch have been told the game must be ready to hit shelves before the gifting season."
Activision declined to comment when contacted by CVG.
Bobby must be so proud. While it's much to early to say what this latest CoD iteration will be like in terms of quality, it now seems quite clear that Activision has completed the process of turning the CoD franchise in to a yearly milking exercise. That in itself isn't a problem as long as the games are "good" but given past track records with such turn-around dates I'm inclined to think the CoD series is well and truly dead after the "MW2" debacle. Perhaps Treyarch will surprise me and reinvigorate the series, but I won't be holding my breath.
Seriously? A Call of Duty game just before Christmas? I'm in a state of shock...
How about 'NO' Activision. Done with your games I'm afraid, and your franchise flogging attitude. I'm voting with my wallet.
Welcome to the club. I started doing that with "MW2". Activision will essentially have to do what EA has done over the past year before I'm willing to get back on-board with them.
Oh that's just great. Now we'll have one game released in November because other companies will be too pussified to release their games at the same time. I really don't want to see delays or release dates purposely put back until the year after because of one clone.. erm.. game.
i Really hope that the story is following the vietnamese and not the americans it would be so much more interesting. i would much rather play as the vietnamese aswell.

Why are you getting so worked up? No one is forcing you to buy these games. I'm personally not interested in the Treyarch Call of Duty games, so I doubt I'll be buying it.
I liked modern warfare 1 before the chavs came and ruined i with there amazing lobbie banter, then party chat came and fixed that, so i carried on playing in my usuall good humour. Why take it out of modern warfare 2 infinity ward!!! And id rather contract herpies then by another treyarch game, so halo reach will be for me.
never owned a cod game ever. played mw and thought "meh counter-strike was better". anyway the complaints revolve around the constant rehashes and the fact that so many games are delayed / undersold and good games get lost in the hype behind this overrated series that has added no joy to my gaming life. no thanks for this garbage.
It's exciting because I am not excited about the prospect of such a COD game, and expect developers will feel the same and not be discouraged from releasing titles in the run up to christmas. Choice is a good thing.
Activision will ruin themselves. They are relying on too many franchises at present and one day the interest will fall in COD. Has it changed much since COD2? Not really, play COD2 again and then come back and tell me it has changed. It's the same game.
Multiplayer is ok, but each new version is just a rehash of the year before with a few changes.
I can see a time very soon when the bottom drops out of Activision's key franchises. Guitar Hero, Call of Duty bring in the bulk of their money. And when these titles fail Activision will be in trouble because it will happen quick and without warning.
glad i've not been a sheep and followed the flock in adopting to COD. the probable reason they are keen to get another game out is because of the reception it has recieved. just like the Halo series, they have taken it too far. I'll stick to the lesser hyped games thank you very much
Ive been playing the coD series since its launch way back in 2003, Ive also owned every CoD game released since then (minus the ps2 rehashes which I dont count), I however wont be buying this, Activision can rot as far as im concerned.

No, go on, hold your breath, well at least till November anyway .
As long as they fix the difficulty, I'll consider purchasing this.
CoD:WAW wasn't that hard, but the constant rain of grenades made me nearly throw my controller out the window, several times.
It was nearly impossible on the veteran difficulty.
I gave up with the Veteran on WaW. The sniper section was infuriating, with the guy in the building.
The Veteran modes are more a case of perseverance than skill, you just keep plugging away until you somehow manage to make it through.
For example, you can have one guy left to kill and suddenly 3 grenades just spawn immediately under your feet. The game engine literally just spawns them under you, you never see them get thrown they just appear out of thin air. Like one guy can throw three grenades perfectly under your feet.
This maybe the first call of duty games i will not by for 5 years. Although i respect Tryache the the COD 5 multiplayer 6 months after released, i just personally now hate Activison more than i have ever hated EA i knew they were milking at guitar hero 4 never mind COD 5 or 6

After you. Remember: You can't respond to this post nor any others. Let me know how you get on....Oh wait.
I HATE MW2....Happy to play COD 4 online and loved WAW. Looking forward to this. MW2 was the biggest let down in gaming history. Multiplayer is laughable, the solo play is so easy, did it on veteran within 6 hours. Special Ops are good and enjoy working with my mate to complete them all. Bring on COD6...Knifey McStab
Now what's the equivalent of Rage Against The Machine in game terms?!?

People need to caaalllm down. Seriously.
I wouldn't call that 'worked up'. Even if it was, you are on a forum pal, which usually means people are sharing their views.
I know I'm not being forced to buy games. I just said 'I'm not buying it'. You even quoted that.

I for one will be holding off judgement until you know, I see the game, so I can appear rational....
"Development is on course - and Treyarch have been told the game must be ready to hit shelves before the gifting season." A sad quote, and this attitude will ultimately be COD downfall.
I'm curious about the Vietnam setting, but thats really about it. I'm far more interested in COD 7 competition this year, namely Bad Company 2.
Yawn. COD is doing to the games industry what X Factor has done for the music industry. Year after year the same old thing gets churned out to fill the corporate giants wallets. Can we have something interesting this year at Christmas, rather than another COD game? Please people, do something about it -_-
Why is this news item on all channels?!?! If a PC version is released we know it's just going to be a port. I really hope their failure to accommodate PC gamers properly bites them in their colon :

That wish of yours is already being granted. Around Nov.-Dec. last year there were around 53,000+ sold PC copies of "MW2", while an estimated 3 million pirated copies are around. That's what they get for setting the PC version 15 years back in the MP arena with the aim of controlling micro-transactions and milking map releases, while denying any mods. That they also had the audacity to increase the RRP and then claim that those of us whom were complaining had financial reasons as to why we wouldn't support their new milking system simply took the biscuit. f**k IW and Activision. Let both of those companies die, and quickly.
I seriously think they should've wrapped it up with 6. If they concentrated more on the quality of that game it could've made a decent game. But now they're just milking it. All the developers they own could've made completely brilliant games but they were forced to waste their time making Call of Duties.
EA, which used to be very similar, however, allowed Dice to make a new game, which was Mirror's Edge, and it was completely original and set the standard for graphics, as did Crysis.
good a VEITNAM CALL OF DUTY SOUNDS BETTER than modern warfare 2. MODERN WARFARE 2 SUCKS i think CALL OF DUTY WORLD AT WAR IS BETTER THAN MW2 infact i play it more than mw2 THEY ALSO SHOULD ADD ZOMBIES INTO THE NEXT CALL OF DUTY. there have been some people that have said zombies wouldent work for a veitnam era but i think it would just like they made it work for call of duty world at war and i think treyarch makes better games than infintyward.this is the reason why i say modern warfare 2 sucks 1.they need to make make were you can play the original story line not spec ops 2. make better maps and maps that arnt so big 3.add zombies. so they should make a call of duty veitnam and add zombies to it
Call of Duty 7 - what I like to see in the up coming Call of Duty.
Add breathing sounds to the character like Shellshock Blood Trails.
Add a white muzzle flash to all weapons like Medal of Honor Airborne.
Add better handling and accuracy to all primary weapons when firing from the hip.
Add the main character with troops who will heal the player before dying in a level.
Add lots and lots of racial remarks when combating VC troops.
Add VC females fighting against American troops.
Add a large verity wide battlefield to adventure with lots and lots of booby traps.
Add day and night missions with rainy weather or make it optional to the player to chance weather conditions within levels.
Add NO more indicators or make it optional to the player to turn it off or on (It is really annoying to hear the guy keep saying “the predator drone is ready, the predator drone is ready” over and over with a blinking indicator in front of the screen - really annoying)
Allow the player to carry two primary weapons, a machete and one sidearm like Shellshock Nam 67.
Allow the player to choose a weapon before entering a combat zone like Shellshock Nam 67.
Add close up shoots when a grenade or bullet rips an enemy body part off like in Brothers In Arms Hell’s Highway.
I am also interested to see a difference when holding a rifle or assault weapon in the game. For example, don’t have a rifle or assault weapon always in the “ready-position” to shoot, but have the weapon in the position similar to the running mode position.
Add a shadow to the character like KillZone 2.
Add when having two weapons like two Colt 45s, or mini guns don’t have the weapons just pointing forward when firing but each weapon locks on the nearest enemy and gives the player a much greater chance to take down enemy numbers faster. Note: this could be optional in menu option by activating it or turning it off.
Add when taking cover behind a wall, have the player’s weapon facing downward and once the player presses the R1 button to shoot, the weapon comes upward instead this time, something new to think on.
Add lots of gore and blood, but also make all missions as action pack as KillZone 2.
Add single-player bonus missions allowing gamers to fight in missions on the side of the VC or American.
Add single-player bonus missions allowing gamers to fly an F105 or F4 jet in bombing VC, NVA positions and it is possible to eject and escape capture from local VC in the area before the big “Jolly Greens“ come in to rescue the player.
Add NO timers during missions! BORING!
Add “Cluster Bombs”, “Unlimited Ammo” and “God Mode” to the menu option.
Players are flown into combat by Huey gunship.
DO NOT make the M14 just a sniper rifle!
I hope this time (like in the PlayStation 2 game called “Black”) we can choose “semi-automatic”, “single-shoot”, or “fully-automatic” for weapons like the M16 and the M14 rifles.
Have the weapons when firing them, sound more rustier and louder and not like the pathetic sound the AK47 in COD6 Modern Warfare 2 but something along the lines like COD4 Modern Warfare.
Allow the player to type in a code or choose weather condition in menu options; for example, if the player wants to change the weather condition he can by simply activating a “rainy”, “sunny”, “night” or “daylight” something like that to keep a player interest a little more in a level.
STOP with “INDICATORS” and “CROSS-HAIR”! Have the “white cross-hair” appear only when it comes in contact with an enemy soldier or make it optional in menu options.
Add for the first time in any game LEFT HAND riflemen - not just the player.
Let the player operate an M60 in a Huey in combat.
Allow a player to customize his or her own character! (If this will be possible, add many things a player can choose from!) (If it is possible) Try to mix Third-Person-Shooter-Mode with First-Person-Mode while playing the game.
Add CIVILIANS this time in the game. Allow the player to shoot as many civilians as the player wishes.
To add more missions to the game, allow the players to have nightmare missions like in Max Payne the game.
Add a character like Max Payne be the main character.
PLEASE (DO NOT) ADD THE SAME BORING-ASS HIPPY MUSIC THAT WE ALL HEARD FROM MOVIES LIKE “PLATOON” – BORING AS HELL!!!
Allow the player to RUN FASTER AND LONGER and not like in the massacre at the airport in COD6.
STOP making every leader like in Call of Duty 4 and 6 a black person. How about a white person for once? (No, I am not racist, just saying “for once”).
Allow the player to be a LEFT handed or RIGHT handed shooter during missions in menu options.
Have a soldier with a medium white or tan towel under his helmet (see Born on Fourth of July to know what I mean when they cleared out a hut, look at the black person when the officer tells his men to move out, saying “it wasn’t your fault…)
I hope the American GI depicted in Call of Duty 7 DO NOT walk as they do in the other Call of Duty games. I would like to see something different, like Gis holding their rifles in the middle with their right or left hand and with the butt of the rifle under their armpits as they walk because in Viet Nam it rains a lot and can be very hot and humid at the sometime.
Do not have a white streak or any other kind of streak when throwing a grenade. In addition to that when a grenade blows up, let us see a bigger explosion!
Have weapons and explosives make different sounds; for example, firing a weapon in a house or building sounds a lot different than firing a weapon in the field.
Allow the player to choose a weapon before entering a combat zone (from sidearm to primary weapon).
Allow the player to choose what types of clips for his weapons of chose he makes; for example like a 50+ round drum magazine to his AK47.
In Medal of Honor Airborne, the First-Person-Shooter has the ability to move around while aiming his weapon behind cover (if you do not know what I mean, play the game MOHA. It is awesome and type of thinking out of the box I like).
Allow an enemy soldier to “jump you” should the player get too close instead of the enemy standing there in one point dumbfounded reloading for the next shoot or trying to hit you with the butt of the rifle but tackle the player in open combat in the field this time instead of within a house!
Add an M60 machinegun that looks like the M60 in Shellshock 2 Blood Trails with the tan ammo pouch!
Add a mission where the player is a tank driver/gunner in an M48 Patton in Hue City, Viet Nam!
Make all level more intense than KillZone 2 and Call of Duty 6 combined!!!
im more than happy to have another call of duty game out in november, and its no suprise anyway. i didnt like the multiplayer waw so much, but zombies was brilliant.
Add lots and lots of racial remarks when combating VC troops.
first off that wont happen, racism will lead to problems and frankly i dont like racism
Add day and night missions with rainy weather or make it optional to the player to chance weather conditions within levels.
im pretty sure theres already missions like this
Allow the player to carry two primary weapons, a machete and one sidearm like Shellshock Nam 67.
wouldnt that kinda eliminate the point of choosing weapons carefully?
Add single-player bonus missions allowing gamers to fly an F105 or F4 jet in bombing VC, NVA positions and it is possible to eject and escape capture from local VC in the area before the big “Jolly Greens“ come in to rescue the player.
its called spec ops..you should try it
Add NO timers during missions! BORING!
taking away timers would make it boring...some of us want a challenge
bassically what you have done is stated prefference, some ideas i like, but i would prefer enjoyment to realism anyday.
all 3 of the past 3 games have had good points if they brought all these together they might actually be able to sell it

....
1/ take a breath 2/ its only a f**king game 3/ f**king grow up 4/ if ya dont like it dont buy it
@ aufzeherinnen: i must agree with u on most points. But a lot u say, ends up in saying, they should tacke a close look at the game vietcong!!!! One of the best FPS ever made. About the swears, u guys need to tacke a look at the movies, the swears belong to the scenery like the rain and the choppers!!! And so does the music, as i said take a close look at Vietcong.
I got a few things. WaW sucked ass. this is goin to be awful and im not gonna buy it. WaW had the gore sure, but it sucked the gameplay wasnt smooth and lil kids in 6th grade will kill it
i personally really enjoy MW2. i'm new to online gaming. Have played the others, was dissappointed with WAW as was too easy. i can't wait for the COD 7!! tried Mag... WACK!!!
I am writing this message because call of duty overall is the best thing 2 happen to online gameplay as other people such as medal of honour and brothers in arms absolutely suck call of duty mw1 was amazin then waw fantastic then mw2 the best game of all time i think call of duty have not destroyed the game industry but made it so all those who opose here will proably end up buying the game and lovin it so lets just say your all mother f**ckin hippocretes
WaW was below par in terms of Gameplay- failing to push the franchise forward, both IW and Trey need to rest on the success of MW2 and give the series a good overhaul, that means laying off the yearly releases until they have something truely special to show!
This might be a small issue, but seriously, those big yellow boxes- that indicate where to place an explosive or collect crucial mission intel Is one the oldest game mechanics I've ever seen! How about I choose where I wish to place explosives, taking into consideration where abouts the weak structural points are, that allow me as a player to successfully bring down an entire estate if masterfully placed, adding to a sense of actual accomplishment! Rant over. I'm more interested in what Bungie have to offer come November, I do however realise that this contradicts my previous statement, but I believe Bungie will bring something truely unique within the Halo franchise with their 'last' (unofficial, as we all know it's going to a be success resulting in at least one more) Halo title.
ye im intrested un Reach too, the amount of new ideas and meachanics and engine overhauls their putting in is just mental. like the setting though, could make cod more realistic like seeing your shadow or your feet. LOVED COD 2 WAW gameplay was s**** but i liked zombies and campaign MW2 did NOT live up to the hype but hardly any games do. The should add loads of really barbaric and reallistic things in. goodluck, franchise.
COD games are for me over rated and ill-balanced, I admit, I got caught up a bit in mw2 hype and day one purchased it, tried on line, found it so laggy and poorly balanced that I must have played a dozen games, resorted to spec ops which was in fairness bloody good fun with a mate, then traded the thing to get points for DA origins DLC, I doubt I will try another COD.
As for Activision, whoever above said they are getting like EA a few years ago is completely right imo, they will learn in time that the gaming community will only allow themselves to be treated like idiots for so long, for this reason among many others, I expect MOH to do well this year, if they can give the public what they really wanted out of mw2 and manage to create a decent experience on line, they will completely reinvigorate the moh series, and I as a gamer who honed his combat skills on the beaches of Normandy in front-lines will be utterly delighted.
The setting sounds good. I don't think mny people will buy it though because of the unbalanced failure that is MW2. Its like what happened to Halo: The trilogy were the best games i ever played, but they hyped ODST up a bit and even thought that was a great game it still didn't deliver the hype and i thought id go off the Halo series after ODST but Bungie managed to capture my intrest again in Reach and i think it will be GOTY.
God i hope Cod can do the same.
I think what would be great if you can play as both Factions and the air and naval forces. As for AUF's list i agree with most of it.
I won't be getting this game, Reach or Crackdown 2 over another COD anyday
They have to release a game every year to replace the previous lump of s**te they pump out. I mean, COD games are lucky to last a year never mind two or three. And of course to line their own pockets.
I remember the huge letdown of WAW after the franchises best Call of Duty 4, and after the massive letdown of MW2 - this won't even get a look at from me.
I was expecting so much from MW2, especially when they raised the price by £10. I thought they had included some new features or software to warrant this increase. Instead it had very little over Halo 3: ODST in terms of content.
This is the third Call of Duty installment after Halo 3, and still they havn't come close to matching the amount of features and support of Halo 3, which has ensured its place as the most played Xbox game for three years running.

So cod's better than Halo is it? No. See if this game comes CLOSE to Halo Reach. Nub

Couldn't agree more. COD 4 was Brilliant. Because of Halo 3's content it dosen't quite equal Halo 3, which is a shame because it is an absolutley amazing game. It's not as hard as Halo 3 but it's hard enough and pwns MW2. WAW and MW2 were about the same in my eyes. They both had brilliant campaigns, and Zombies/Spec Ops were brilliant, but WAW had a crap engine and MW2 gave the player too much power and was Very unbalanced.
It's a good idea for a setting for an FPS like COD though.
Guys for god sake, am i the only one who enjoys most of the world war two cods??? seriously i've been praying for a vietnam CoD since no. 3, i also guess some of you have forgotten that during vietnam, the m60 was in use (have you not seen Rambo) so dont complain about the guns, if anything it will be a challenge and so much better than Modern Gayfare 2!!!
In relation to the guy with extreme list of request, yea man a few good ideas but you gotta lay off on some of the political stuff, like the racism. i love the mission ideas and yea there should be suvillians but to interact with not to mow down.
Finally yea okay MW2 was a flop but it had good parts, only the multiplayer let it down, so dont give up on Treyarch and Activision just yet because i think the best is to come starting with this year!
KrimsonXPhoenix..you are not alone! I am also a big lover of the WW2 COD series, and also have been long praying for a Vietnam COD! And plus, with the jungle environments we were presented with in COD:5, i'm very sure this latest edition won't fail to excite! Also, some sort of Rambo/Apocalypse Now style scene would be very interesting to see
i wondering here but why is it that people bitch that WaW sucked when thay'd play it and that mw2 suckes its pretty damn confusing tbh i mean if u dont like the game sell it, and i dont see why poeple or moaning about teh new CoD i mean i dont think theres been a game on vietnam since conflict deasert storm: Vietnam for ps2 it would bee a nice change from ww2 and the mw and tbh it would be nice to have a a ww2 game but from the nazis point and the japs point of view

I do enjoy MW2, It is alot of fun when playing with friends, but I think they should focus on MW3 intead of another Old war game. I don't Like WaW as much as I do MW2 or MW. <- MY OPINION
People stop using the last three Cod's as an example of the series, Cod 1,2 and 3... Well maybe not 3 were amazing games and had none of this overpowered s**t or extremely boring campaigns such as the modern warfare's.... IMO. I have been looking forward to a call of duty Vietnam for a long time as this time period is very interesting and I am very exited about the release.
I used to get on with MW2 but i got p****d off with it so i traded it in so i probally wont bother with this because as someone said chavs ruin these games and also so do noobs and hackers that cant play the game properly. So after all these years loving the COD's i will now tell them to p**s off........ i would rather play Battlefield Bad Company 2, Splinter Cell Conviction or Red Dead Redemption when it comes out. I personally think that Infinity Ward and all the hackers on MW2 ruined this series and i'm glad that everyone is leaving IW and that by the end of the month the company would have fell apart. I don't really care id Treyarch are making this one, they will get the rest of IW to help them so it will be crap and open for hackers to dive in and get to their gay little 10th prestige ( which doesn't mean s**t by the way, it just means they are sad andhave played it for a very long time or hacked it ).I would rather play some very GOOD games instead that are not broken.
there should be a mission where you get shot down and survive only to be captured and tortured by the vc.while being tortured you are forced to play a game of Russian roulett and escape using the gun like the deer hunter.you should have to avoid recapture in the following mission where ur lost in the jungle with no compass.
Also a mission where u play as a south Vietnamese spy in the vc where u sabotage a base or something and then have to escape.
also the tet offensive would make for a pretty cool level.
I'd just like to say that i think that there isn't going to be a Call of Duty: Vietnam. This is due to the rights to use 'Call of Duty' being stripped off Activision by Infinity Ward. I would also like to point out that there are 10 games altogether with the name 'Call of Duty'. So this would be number 11, NOT number seven.
I dont know why so many people hammer on WaW. Because so many actually prefer it to CoD4 and MW2, why can't you just not be so ignorant and narrow minded.
If they do make a Vietnam, i think they should be heavily encouraged and supported. It could have the capabilities to be one of the most unique and extravagant story lines and atmospheres in CoD.
Just imagine walking through the deep blood stained jungle, while surreal black and white contrast and red lighting fills and blurs your screen while you see dead corpses scattered around old booby traps and trip mines. Brilliant.
I don't care if it where the worst made CoD, because it's Vietnam, and that's unique. I've been waiting for this day that they announced and confirm Cod Vietnam, unfortunately i don't think it will be made because of gay infinity Award and all the Faggety Fan Gamers who hate stuff that is different to what they have played, f**king republican c**ts... lol
I think that they realy need to bring back the rock solid true depiction of how a war is fought. They have strayed way out into lala land and lost what made the COD name be so recognized. They need to bring back dedicated servers or they will lose a lot in this next game.
I've got loads of ideas for a dead good cod game, some are from previous cods, and some are from others like battlefield 2, but i made up some.
You can destroy walls, floors, trees, buildings, basicly anything there is destroyable. This means you can make your own ways into buildings, and so videos will be funner, like of people walking across poles to knife people. This will mean fewer patches, because glitches and other stuff will be made redundent.
You can get to most places. You should be able to walk across a pole, and not just fall through it, like on cod 6, 5, 4, and just about any other cod franchise. If you knock down a wall, you can walk across it.
You can carry an extra item, like a C4, or a spade. If you carry a spade, you can dig under walls and into places, thus making it easier to get to people. This will get rid of those f**kers who just camp off in a building on the ground floor with a machine gun, because, oh no I just got killed by somone who tunneled through to get me. You can also use them as weapons.
There should be a special mode where you can do stuff to maps, like dig through them with the spade I just said, and then save it. Like in Far Cry 2, but not s**te.
NO GAY HOST DISCONNECT. If your host disconnects, you can get another host, or be given a choice to either: A) Join another game, have your score saved and then start again, or B) Save your score and then leave the lobby.
I love the killstreak rewards, somthing no-one has mentioned, but I think people need an incentive (reason) to prestige. Is a few emblems and titles really worth losing all your hard work? Not for most gamers. So add them together, and make a system where when you prestige you get another killstreak reward, so for 1st you get four ('cos you already get three), 2nd you get five, 3rd you get six, so on and so on.
There is a killstreak reward unlocked at the highest rank, where some commandoes/ SAS/ Marines invade the map. Like dogs, but with guns. The amount of kills you get before using it and during it goes towards the number of invaders.
A video editing tool is put into multiplayer (splitscreen), private matches and a special mission mode where you get all the same missions but you can vid yourself killing, like, 27 enemies with one semtex.
