OXM drops new Black Ops info

The latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine has plenty of new info regarding Treyarch's forthcoming Call of Duty game, Black Ops, and the game is sounding great.

VG247 has summarised all the new intel, and if you aren't already planning your pre-order, this might just tip you over the edge.

Vehicles will be returning, and you can expect a little more control this time around. "You're not just relegated to mini-gun man who holds down the trigger and nudges the aiming reticule around the screen," says the mag. "For once, you're flying the helicopter. And firing the missiles. And the mini-guns."

Black Ops apparently casts you as off-the-grid best-of-the-best soldier with a "secret agenda. It seems that you'll be fighting the North Vietnamese Army in certain missions. There will be a dedicated co-op mode, as previously reported, and the multiplayer's being tweaked, with new matchmaking options and Create-a-Class 2.0 which will allow you unprecedented customisation options, including the ability to tweak your appearance and kit as well as your perks.

Most excitingly, Treyarch is "considering" a Halo-esque multiplayer beta.

Call of Duty: Black Ops will be available in stores and online from 9th November.
