    I guess the people who make CoD games wanted it to sound awesome. Which it doesn't

    Vietnam is only one of the locations... see link Call of Duty: Black Ops' Locations Detailed - PlayStation 3 News at IGN

    anyhow Im sure Viet-Kong Zombies will be cool, but I can't help but be a little skeptical about the COD series moving foward after the whole Infinity Ward situation

    "Gamers will get a chance to play as s member of the SAS during a combat mission iranian embassy siege that took place in London in April 1980"

    If that's true that will be awesome, i was 2 minutes away from the iranian embassy when the SAS wrecked havoc on it.

    The SAS do NOT mess about, one of the best special forces team in the world.

    Makes me so proud to be British.

    World at war is actually my most favorite in the series. Not sure what's to hate about it. Have you ever played CoD3, that was an abomination. I think that this game looks really good, but I can't help but notice a lot of connections with MGS, since I don't have access to a PS3, I guess I am happy :D

    Really? I found the low level SMG's an awful choice for that game. I stuck to the MP44, PPSH42, Semi Auto Rifles, Sniper. Bolt action guns would have been useful if they actually killed when they were supposed too :)

    I like all the COD's (never tried COD3). Only gripe I have over WaW is that it seems to tax my laptop more than any others. Really heats up and I need to keep the graphics quite low.

    If they do use dedicated server's this could be a really great game. :D

    You guys are already making assumptions and guesses when you don't know what lies ahead.

    I'm just going to sit back and wait for official news about this.

    Bah. Ill wait for the talented guys to release something instead of giving my money to the second fiddles.

    IW has always done a good job making each call of duty title bring something new to the table. All trey titles look and feel like the last title IW made.... but with upped graphics.
