USA Today has been given a sneak peek at Call of Duty: Black Ops, with details emerging of a new four-player co-operative mode which, according to the newspaper, goes "beyond the single-player story".
Like previous Call of Duty titles, the campaign will be seen from the viewpoint of two or more characters, with a timeline spanning several years of the Cold War. Offered a look at one of the single-player levels, the publication reports that the stage - titled 'WMD' - features a sequence where the player guides four soldiers from the perspective of an SR-71 Blackbird plane, as the group attempts to sneak past a Russian convoy in the Ural mountains.
Also mentioned is a new weapon, a scoped crossbow, with which players can switch ammo types from a standard arrow to one with an explosive tip. It seems that modifying weapons will play a bigger part in the new game, with news of an AUG assault rifle offering space for different attachments.
A real-life black ops veteran has been drafted in to provide authenticity, while Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia has promised a "variety of gameplay".
You can go undercover with Call of Duty: Black Ops when it arrives on 360, PS3 and PC this November.
