Call of Duty: Black Ops Preview

As promised, we've posted up our initial experience and thoughts for Call of Duty: Black Ops, based on the recent Activision event held out at Club Nokia in LA where we saw two levels of the game running in a controlled demo.

This is essentially a run-down of what we saw, and how things are looking right now for the game, but combining this and our interview with Treyarch community manager, Josh Olin, should give you a pretty damn good idea of what to expect. Don't forget to check out the new screens we were handed today as well, which can be reached by clicking the thumbnails below.

Isn't it still running on the same engine as all the other ones?

yeah, it's a modified version of the CoD 4 architecture, but Treyarch have tweaked a lot of it with their own internal bits and bobs, mainly physics, fire, water etc
