Black ops 3 xbox 360 amazon1/23/2024 ![]() The previous Black Ops Cold War was an introspective story about redaction, repression and phantasmagorical spaces such as model towns that portray history as an assemblage of symbols and cliches, always mediated by military technologies. But if a Call of Duty game is going to do it, I'd rather it were Black Ops, the one Call of Duty subfranchise that actually makes "fucking up history" an explicit narrative preoccupation, though it seldom comes to any conclusions more productive than "oh the humanity". The series has a track record for distorting the facts - it has already misrepresented the events of the Gulf War, with 2019's Modern Warfare reboot blaming the Russians for the US bombardment of Iraqi troops along the notorious "Highway of Death" in February 1991. I don't trust Activision's pseudo-military forever-shooter to do this subject much justice. ![]() "Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War" is the obvious choice, following in the footsteps of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, but maybe they'll just call it "Black Ops" and continue Activision's recent very irritating habit of giving sequels the same names as previous games. Internal codenames for the project include "Cerberus", according to Windows Central. The new Call of Duty doesn't have a title as yet, the report continues - it probably won't be called Black Ops 6. Activision are said to be discussing a pre-order bonus for the new Call of Duty that might give you several days of early access for the base game, and possibly even weeks of early access for unnamed other modes - a significant escalation of the pre-order early access schemes offered by the likes of Starfield. Hopefully, the game's developers are having an easier time of it than the creators of this year's Modern Warfare 3, which appears to have been the product of crunch and mismanagement. The game will apparently eschew the borderline make-believe tech offered by other recent Call of Duties, and will tell stories about different participants in the conflict, which suggests that it might be another ensemble narrative that flips between perspectives.Īs per the existing production cycle, the new Black Ops will reportedly release in late 2024. It'll also, allegedly, take place during the first Gulf War across 19, in which a US-led coalition of countries including the UK, Saudi Arabia and Egypt invaded Iraq in response to the Saddam Hussein government's conquest of Kuwait.Īll that comes from Windows Central, who cite a number of sources "familiar with Activision's plans". If rumour speak true, the next Call of Duty game will be another entry in the Black Ops series.
