This article is on bashandslash.com. I know that we all have heard the cold-war rumor, but there is some added information this time around:
Tek9.org is quoting Activision sources regarding the new Call of Duty 7, to be released in November, and they are saying it will be set somewhere between WWII and present day.
Of this there should be no doubt. Activision has hinted that it would leave WWII behind months ago. In addition, Infinity Ward (the other CoD develepor) had a contract stipulating that they would create all CoD games set in the modern and post-modern era. Thus, the only thing open to Treyarch would be to settle the game in the post-War era.
In addition to this information, Tek9 states that their sources have confirmed that some missions will be set in Cuba and at least one in South America.
You will apparently be able to play as a member of the SAS (Special Air Service) and one of those missions will take place in London, at the Iranian embassy in the 1980s.
Tek9 has apparently confirmed that Call of Duty 7: Black Ops will feature the zombie mode.
And finally, to no one's surprise, dedicated servers will also be part of the new Call of Duty game -- a fact that can be independently confirmed by BASHandSlash.com.
Unfortunatly the source page bashandslash.com put up is no longer available. Fortunatly, Jockyitch is a pretty reasonable fellow and I doubt he would just post up anything willy-nilly. Unfortunatly, no official word from Activision or Treyarch on this.
