Call of Duty: Black Ops

"We need to bring him back."

- Unknown doctor in the trailer

Call of Duty: Black Ops will be the seventh main installment in the Call of Duty series, and is being developed by Treyarch. The confirmation of the game's development was leaked by David Kim, a senior animator at Treyarch. The game is said to be set in various locations including Vietnam and Cuba and judging from weaponry and dates given in the trailer it is set at any point between 1955 to 2010. It's planned to be released on November 9, 2010.

Possible Settings
It will be set in "recent history" (between World War II and the present day) and will feature missions in Cuba and South America. Among these, the article says that the player will take control of a British SAS member during the 1980 Siege of the Iranian Embassy in London. However, this has not been confirmed by Activision or Treyarch, and may prove to be false.

Many people also think that the website "GKNOVA6" has something to do with Call of Duty. If this website is a promoter for Call of Duty: Black Ops, it would imply that the game is set during the Cold War, which subsequently complements the rumor of the Iranian Embassy Siege.

Vietnam, Cuba, and the Arctic have been confirmed as locations in the game.

Trivia

 * In the beginning of the trailer the numbers 2010:3:2 are visible on a digital clock. This was the day Call of Duty: Black Ops was announced (March 2, 2010).
 * Due to the possible appearance of a MAS-49, it is possible that the game takes place as far back as the mid-50's with the Viet Minh pushed the French out of Vietnam.
 * There is a pilot in a vacuum protection suit right before the frame with the SR-71 Blackbird. This leads players to believe that the player takes the place as a spy plane pilot or co-pilot, or possible even be inserted via spy plane.
 * There is a missile launch; this could be due to tensions between either the Soviet Union or Cuba.
