Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer Trailer

Call of Duty: Black Ops
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Treyarch
Rating: RP
Release: 9/11/2010
Treyarch/Activision have released the latest trailer for CoD: Black Ops.This one, focusing the online multiplayer. I have to say, this could be THE online multiplayer. I'd given up on Modern Warfare 2s multiplayer for a little while with Bad Company 2 filling the void. It seemed to get a little repetitive after reaching level 70 and entering Prestige mode, with the new map packs making it better again for about a month. Only lately have I decided to revisit MW2 online. 

Black Ops looks to change that. Treyarchs last attempt at the COD multiplayer with World At War was sub-standard compared with Modern Warfare although the game made No.1 in the UK charts. The only thing that was exciting was the 'Nazi Zombie' mode (which I really hope comes to Black Ops!)

So now the multiplayer trailer which shows an abundance of new things to try and top the online MW2 phenomenon. Check out the spy camera, RC Bombs, Crossbows with exploding arrows (much like stickies from Halo), active environments (Ship taking off at 0:20) and DUEL KNIVES!!!

Release: 16/11/2010
It's no surprise that the next instalment in the Assassins Creed franchise will be getting the collectors edition treatment. They've been fairly popular with the previous 3 games. But you'll get a nice surprise when you open the box to this one. As you can see to the below, you get a nice little package.
  •  A cool (but creepy) Jack-in-the-box.
  • two exclusive single-player maps (Aqueduct and Trajan Market), 
  • A disc featuring a making of, trailers, games soundtrack and a sneak peak at the up-and -coming of the AC:Brotherhood comic. 
  • A hard-copy map strategy map of Rome.
  • An Assassins Creed art book.

There are 2 versions of this package. One is a Gamestop exclusive which features a harlequin type doll (Below). No news as of yet if this will be available in the UK. The Harlequin edition costs $100 (£63) at Gamestop. Contents are subject to change.
