While details are still scant, Call of Duty: Black Ops will take players behind enemy lines in an entirely new chapter in the  first-person action series of all-time. While the previous Modern Warfare 2 installment did not have a Wii version, it seems Black Ops will change that, while USA Today reveals that the game is set during the Cold War era with at least two main characters. Multiplayer being a big part of the franchise, Treyarch is said to be going "beyond the single-player story," with a two- to four-player co-op mode outside of the realm of the regular campaign, much like Modern Warfare's Spec Ops mode.

A new product listing at Gamestop and Amazon reveal that Activision plans on bundling Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 3, and Call of Duty: World at War into one package, Call of Duty: The War Collection. Currently only listed for Xbox 360, the bundle will is scheduled to retail on June 8th, 2010, for $59.99.

While there are no details available yet, the next installment in the long running Call of Duty series has been revealed by an official blog/website. Call of Duty: Black Ops is said to be set in Vietnam, while others mention the cold war, but judging from its title it will most certainly revolve around secret undercover missions by special forces.

Activision announced new strategic plans for the Call of Duty franchise, and confirmed earlier rumors that both Jason West and Vince Zampella are no longer with Infinity Ward. Activision also revealed that it will bring the franchise to Asia, and that Sledgehammer Games is working on a Call of Duty action-adventure game.

Now here's a bizarre story. G4's Patrick Klepek reported last night that relations between Activision and Infinity Ward have been "tense" for several months. Yesterday, the studio heads had a meeting with owner Activision, after which IW's Vince Zampella and Jason West have not been seen at the studio. Once security personnel arrived on the IW premises, employees became "freaked out" and "confused," but no further information was available. Its otherwise chatty community rep Robert Bowling has been awfully quiet, only tweeting he had no information on the matter. Later last night, Jason West's Facebook status changed to "Jason West is drinking. Also, no longer employed," while his LinkedIn profile now shows his career as IW president spanned January 2001 – March 2010.

UPDATE: Found in a March 1st, 2010 SEC filing by Activision, "The Company is concluding an internal human resources inquiry into breaches of contract and insubordination by two senior employees at Infinity Ward."

The new action-thriller will arm gamers with the most advanced and powerful arsenal of modern day firepower to fight a new war in the world’s most treacherous hotspots.
