Rumor: Treyarch Working on Black Ops 2

LMG: Some quick research will lead you to find that there have been rumors that Treyarch is working on Black Ops 2. Official Xbox Magazine has stated in their most recent issue’s (September 2011) Crystal Ball that Treyarch is in fact working on Black Ops 2.

[Rushing_Punch]

They just need to bite the bullet and make Call of Duty: Zombies

[subtenko]

Actually if they made a COD that is in the BC era, I'd actually buy that (cause I dont know of any first person games like that)

Agree or Disagree if you Agree

[Micro_Sony]

Here you go and you can probably get this BC era shooter for $1

or you can play Turok which was a good game for its time.

Turok! :)

[BulletToothtony]

I will NEVER buy another treyarch game again in my life,
How can you mess the hit detection on an FPS game? Only way to get a kill is to spray, burst weapons are worthless unless you're host.

[ape007]

guys u know im a huge cod fan but if treyarch gonna do BO2

count me as a CoD hater

[elmaton98]

They can make all the black flop they want but if there no zombie on it there is no buy for me.

[MSpence516]

I think it is safe to say every year when these articles come out, that they are not rumors.

[RBLAZE1988]

Rumor: The Earth's surface is heated by the sun.

[Hellsvacancy]

So when is Call Of Duty 5 comin out? are we gonna be stuck with 4 until next gen starts

[DaBadGuy]

Call of Duty 5 would have to be a fresh take on the series. CoD4 Modern Warfare began this whole reign because of how great it was, but everything after that was the same. WaW was just another WWII game and then Black Ops was a sequel to that, same with MW 1-3.

Activision will continue with Modern Warfare and the Black Ops series because it works and sells like crazy. If someone comes up with a fresh idea in the series that will work, then that will be Call of Duty 5.

But don't hold your breath.

[PRHB HYBRiiD]

I bet they are working on the DLC too...

[trainsinrdr]

Black ops doesn't deserve a sequel, if anything they should just make a new IP COD like religious or marine warfare or some other retarded bullsh*t but they would be better of making a zombie only game.

[Laypoof]

I know it's become a cliche to say 'so and so' franchise is getting milked. But it is without a shadow of doubt, a f***ing sad FACT that call of doody is being milked to DEATH. And the worst part about it all is how many sheep there are that will continue buying this garbage.

[xVeZx]

definitely not getting another cod game made by treyarch ever again

[FearNoAngel]

Umm.. isn't this obvious.

[Michael-Jackson]

Yes and no.

Black Ops sold 25 million across all platforms, It's the best selling COD, so they will be stupid not to cash in and make a Black Ops 2

But

they can also make a random COD and it will still sell millions but maybe less than Black Ops, Activision will probably say F* no, we don't take risks.

[ItsMeAgain]

Black Ops success is due to MW2's greatness (with all its problems), everyone thought BO would be another big game, but they were wrong. Look at how many ppl are disappointed.

[BroGamer]

Wouldn't be surprised really.

[BlmThug]

Only CoD i bought this gen was CoD 4. The other CoD like MW2 And BO felt the same to CoD 4 and was not worth a purchase

[ape007]

mw2 not worthing a buy?

are u kiddin me, huge game, 3 big modes, sick gfx(better than black ops), awesome hans zimmer music, tons of unlocks and great replay value

best CoD games are cod 2, cod 4 and mw2

i hope slegdhammer be as good or better than IW

[ilikegam3s]

???? How... did you think that MW2 and BO felt the same when you ONLY brought CoD4 this gen??? :S

[Hicken]

Only buying one doesn't mean he only played one.

[A7XEric]

In other news: grass is green, birds fly, shit stinks.

[Coheno]

Is this journalists name Mr. Obvious? What is this...research he says?

[jaymart]

Nothing to see right here, move along people

[InTheLab]

I wonder if Treyarch is capable of creating their own IP instead of remaking games from better devs...ermmm...slightly better devs.

Spider-man, CoD, and Wii ports. That's all they do.

[STK026]

Makes sense, considering Black Ops sold so much. Although I do agree that a stand alone CoD zombie game would make sens at some point. and, @Laypoof, you can't blame Activision for milking it, they're in the business to make money, like any other publisher by the way, and like you said, people still buy it every year, so they've got no reason not to milk it while it lasts.

Call of Duty is the franchise every publisher dreams of, it's a somewhat low-cost to develop (since they can still re-use the CoD4 assets for newer games) game with incredibly high revenues, every single year, and despite the fact that there's little change between each games, they manage to outsell the previous year's game.

EA can trash talk CoD all it wants, truth is, they wished they had CoD, as they would do the exact same thing with it (just like what they're doing with the sports franchises).

And, to make it even more profitable, CoD is probably the biggest DLC seller on the PSN and on XLive, at 15$ a pop no less.

[Hockeydud19]

As much as I want a better looking engine for COD and some changes made to the formula. Any change to the formula except adding new features would probably be a shot in the foot for Activison. COD 4 to me still has some of the better looking graphics around. I'm not a fanboy of COD by any means. Yes I like the games and yes i'll buy them (except black ops) but there's no other game besides Halo and Uncharted that i've spent more time playing online in.

[chlomirx]

hmmmm...

[thekiddfran]

OMG!!11!!! *jizzes everywhere and continues to fap*

[jdfoster00]

MAKE A NEW GAME ENGINE FOR THE NEXT GAME OR I'M NOT BUYING IT. SICK OF 'COPY AND PASTE- WITH A RESKIN'

[ape007]

ctivision should NOT make an 2012 cod game, leave that year and build a powerful engine and let treyarch develop it along with IW and SLEDGEHAMMER

[OcularVision]

Treyarch can probably build a new engine within the two years they're given seeing as how big their teams are. Only if they focused on 1 game at a time unlike when they were making WaW and the Quantum of Solace game. Look at the new engine from CoD2 (2005) to CoD4 (2007).

[BabyCarlos]

Actually CoD 2 and CoD 4 use the same basic engine: iD Tech 3 Engine (had its first appearance back in 1999 with Quake III). And Black Ops 2 will use it, too, like any other CoD.

[GOODKyle]

Anytime there is a money cow and Activision involved...the predictable, despicable things will happen.

[Michael-Jackson]

Black Ops sold 25+ Million!

so I guess it makes sense to cash in with a simple copy and paste so everything will feel, look and play the SAME then slap in a random story, scripted explosions, add a gun or 2 and change the multi-player to suit the noobs.

PROFIT!!!!

[Rezka]

if this is true then no thanks treyarch

[kamakaz3md]

smfh

[Hockeydud19]

So we have MW3 this year. Black Ops 2? Next year and I'm assuming that sledgehammer is still working on their action adventure COD which is rumored to come out next year as well. Soon were gnna have Call of Duty come out every 6 months. Then 3 and then....a new Cod every week..no i'm just kidding. MW3 looks good to me, but i'm staying away from Black Ops. Can't stand the weapons in that game.

[ItsMeAgain]

Wrong for you for not sticking to IW. The only game that I've bought from 3Arch has been spiderman.

[Hockeydud19]

I liked WAW, but Black Ops was a step in the wrong direction. I agree with many above. They should just make a fleshed out zombie game with no campaign. Just tons of Zombie maps and crazy game modes.

[Hicken]

Agree with you on the WaW. I think most people were disappointed because they wanted more Modern action, but I've enjoyed WaW more than any of the other CoDs this gen.

[Doc_Holliday]

I agree. ive played every COD from cod4 to black ops. for me WAW was the best single player campaign out of all of them, by far. cod4 was good. MW2 was awful. black ops was a lot better but not as good as WAW. as for the multiplayer.....well lets just not talk about that. BC2 is light years ahead and the only mp shooter ive played in months.

[NeloAnjelo]

Of course they are. This will be announced six months after Modern Warfare 3. And like the games before it will be riddled with online problems, have a medicore campaign, no innvovation, no dedicated servers, poor story, unbalanced, better on one console, and still sell 20 million plus.

Makes sense doesn't it?
