Call of Duty developers Treyarch have only ever made games set in the past. Whether that be the Second World War or the Cold War, doesn’t matter, their games have never seen the 1990s, let alone today. But that looks like it’s set to change with the next game in the series.
Rumours have pegged this year’s Call of Duty as a sequel to the Treyarch-developed Black Ops. Now, an image of US Target pre-order cards running on IGN appears to confirm the title and show a release date of November 13.
Treyarch’s 2011 Christmas card is also a neat little Call of Duty: Black Ops ornament, all ready to be hung on a tree. If you’re a big fan, feel free to print these out, trim the excess, tape them together and hang it in your own tree.
The fourth and final add-on for Call of Duty: Black Ops, Rezurrection, hits the PS3 and PC September 22, kicking off a double XP weekend. Rezurrection’s all-zombie maps include Moon, Nacht der Untoten, Verruckt, Shi No Numa and Der Riese.
One of the highlight’s of the Call of Duty XP convention was its paintball field recreation of “Scrapyard”, one of the multiplayer maps featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. I took a few stinging paintballs to the thigh and bicep for your enjoyment, if you couldn’t make it to Los Angeles this past weekend.
