G4 Showcases Call of Duty: Black Ops "Jungle" Multiplayer Map Preview

If you haven't had enough Black Ops game play footage yet to fill your stomach, G4 recently fired off a pair of fast paced, pew-pew clips for the hungry Call of Duty fans to feast on. The one I've posted fits into the typical gameplay trailer mold; splicing of innumerable action-packed killcams - with the occasional knife in the gut - all featured on the handsome looking multiplayer map, "Jungle". Mark Lamia, Treyarch's Studio Head, offers a heaping plate of insightful commentary along with the video, being sure to leave no resource untapped in the department of overly dramatic and irrelevant flailing hand gestures. That's what we call developer's passion...or poor presentational skills? EDIT:  Video is back!

Call of Duty: Black Ops Single Player Trailer Officially Lands!

 
During a typical Monday Night Football game, not many things can stand in a determined viewers way of their epic dash to the beer-laden fridge during commercial breaks, but last night, the stakes were different. There was a single, world-shattering, minute-long video clip ensuring that hardened gamers worldwide stayed glued to their La-Z-Boy armchairs, and eyes to the TV. And yes, we remained intently fixed until that fateful fourth quarter! Despite the 45 minute rain delay, despite Favre's early horrendous performance, despite Pirates of the Caribbean showing on USA; we threw our earthly desires to the back seat, all in the name of Call of Duty. Once that first frame flashed across the screen, we knew the moment had come. The long awaited Call of Duty: Black Ops single player trailer had at long last arrived. I marveled at every second of it. In case you missed it, I've kindly posted it above for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

Minnesota vs. New York Monday Night Game to Appear During Call of Duty: Black Ops Debut Trailer!!

I dearly hope my comic genius shone brightly as you read my post's title, otherwise I'd just come across as a complete and utter moron. Wait. On second thought, congratulations. You'll have advanced to the rank of Supreme Lt. Cdr. Idiot if my heroic joke flies right over your head. Merging back into relevancy, assuming the Monday Night Football enthusiasts can briefly withdraw their faces from their 12 metric tons of Helluva'Good Dip, fans will be graced by Activision's brand spankin' new trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops. This bit will feature selected footage from the single player campaign portion of the game. Woop-de-fucking-do, single player. Now bear with me on this, as witty as Activision is, there will be a 16 second long teaser trailer of Monday's full length debut during the Vikings vs. Jets game on Sunday. A trailer teasing you for a teaser trailer? Yes.

On another note, GameStop also announced that "[they are] tracking to all-time, record reservations on Call of Duty: Black Ops. We are ahead of where we were with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 last year, which previously set the industry standard." Watch your back, Ramirez!
