Call of Duty: Black Ops officially announced

Following plenty of speculation, it seems like the latest Call of Duty game will be called Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Developed by Treyarch, who created Call of Duty: World at War, the game should be hitting shelves on 9th November this year. It's probably best to start queuing around about now.

Treyarch has also revealed that the developer has specific teams at work on the game's single-player, co-op, and multiplayer component, suggesting this is going to be a pretty spectacular package. The story, meanwhile, will take in locations including Vietnam, Cuba, and the Arctic. Brr. It will detail the birth of the Elite Special Forces, and play out in "off-the-record" missions with "unconventional weaponry."

The announcement crowned a huge week for the game's publisher, Activision, who had just announced that it has signed the Halo developer Bungie on a ten-year contract.

There's no word, as yet, as to which platforms to expect Call of Duty: Black Ops for, but we'll hand in our own sniper rifles if you can't bet on it hitting at least the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 this November.
