u mad cuz ur ***git
You may not be at all aware of it at the moment, but there’s a lot of great information about the as-yet-unnamed 7th title in the Call of Duty series, just waiting on their official web forums. It was apparently just a rumour that the new game would be called "Black Ops." Specifically, Treyarch developer Vahn (real name David Vonderhaar – he’s the Multiplayer Design Director for the upcoming CoD game) has posted several hints in a thread on killstreak rewards for the upcoming Call of Duty game – while some of this represents personal opinion, some of what he has to say may well represent the shape that their game is beginning to take.

The main message that we want to impose upon the gaming community is that we, here at Treyarch, do listen to our community to the point that we read every single suggestion that is put to us.
It seems we can expect to see a much more rounded and polished game than Modern Warfare 2, as many posters on the Treyarch boards have called on the developers to learn from Infinity Ward’s mistakes, and Vahn has expressed his agreement on more than one occasion, which makes sense seeing as they are rival companies :p
One of his posts for example shows that he knows what the problems were in MW2, and is said in a very diplomatic fashion.

I am seeing a lot of what I would call the “echo plex.” As fans of the previous games, we have drawn a lot of the same conclusions that many of you are drawing. Solutions to those problems may be different than any specific proposal in any specific post, but I’m glad we (generally speaking) want to go the same direction you want us to go.
In terms of actual game details, here’s a analysis of what can be deduced from Vahn’s posts:
* While they’ve tried having custom killstreaks for each class, that seemed to complicate the ‘purity and speed’ of Create a Class.
* Consequently, it’s fair to assume that customizable killstreaks are all but confirmed.
* At this stage in development, killstreaks stack and carry over if you die, but do not contribute to further killstreaks (hence eliminating the ‘camping for killstreaks’ problem of Modern Warfare 2).
* Treyarch are not fans of Commando, the extended melee range perk in Modern Warfare 2, and it is unlikely to return.
* They’ve tried a ‘manned’ version of the Sentry Gun killstreak, but weren’t fans.
* We may well see a return to pistols as the only available sidearm, or perhaps a choice between pistols and launchers. Vahn and many of the team are not fans of shotguns and machine pistols as secondary weapons – it gives a player ‘too much firepower’.
* The knife may well become a secondary weapon – although Vahn didn’t want to say too much.
* Finally, don’t expect the nuke to return as a killstreak. Vahn says they are not fans of a game-ending killstreak.

To and fro the island.
Very enlightening information. It seems like Treyarch is going to outdo Infinity Ward, the developers that people said were "so much better than Treyarch", including myself. I think this just goes to show that it isn't always the developer who is at fault, and that even deemed bad developers have quite a bit of potential.
I think this will bring more competition to the series, and hopefully will teach Infinity Ward a lesson, despite whether or not they will be making another Call of Duty game.
Seems like Treyarch knows what they're doing, and is trying to "get the game under control" again, as in Modern Warfare 2 it seemed like we were given a bit too many toys to play with at a time, making the game a bit unfair and frustrating, rather than fun at times.
Hopefully their comment concerning community opinion is indeed true, and when a vast majority of people ask for something, it will get done!
Thanks for the post, Shepleklet.
