Treyarch Hiring For ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops 2?’

3.4
In what will come as likely a shock to nobody, it looks like Treyarch is back at work, hiring programmers for their next Call of Duty title. What may come as a bit of news to fans is that apparently, it looks like the game in question will not be merely another entry into the series, but Black Ops 2, a direct sequel to their best-selling game of all time.That’s according to ThatVideoGameBlog, who are claiming that the latest issue of OPMUK is dropping a sizable number of hints that Treyarch is not only staffing up for their next inevitable CoD title, but that it’s seeming more and more likely that the game will be a direct sequel to Black Ops.

We’ve known that there was a likelihood that a sequel was in the works for some time, with Treyarch posting job openings in March, and a Community Manager confirming that a Black Ops sequel was possible in the studio’s future. The fact of the matter is that Activision and Treyarch would have to be out of their minds to not be planning a sequel to the game, given its record-shattering sales.

But while the game itself is a foregone conclusion, whether it will be a continuation of the first game’s plot or merely give another dose of the cinematic presentation and new mechanics of Black Ops is anyone’s guess. Without a doubt, the biggest surprise in all of this news is just how far off many predictions were in the wake of the Infinity Ward/Activision split.

Some expected that Treyarch – perhaps unfairly known as the makers of ‘inferior’ CoD titles – would absolutely bomb on Black Ops, due to inferior gameplay and fan backlash over Activision’s legal drama with Modern Warfare developer Infinity Ward. But the opposite took place, with Treyarch delivering the highest-grossing title in the history of the series, and Modern Warfare 3 grabbing headlines already, even without the studio’s founders on board.


Given the mass exodus of employees from Infinity Ward, and regardless of how you may feel about Activision’s way of doing business, or the quality of Black Ops, the fact is that Treyarch is now the most experienced studio currently working on the Call of Duty brand. And no matter how the games turn out, it is seeming more and more likely that both 2011 and 2012 will be seeing the release of a new CoD installment.

DeadlyDasher Treyarch > IW.

IW dumbs down their game for the 14 year olds, and makes it too easy for bad players to do good. They also make their games to damn unbalanced. But appearently all those things = a good game for most people.

Cod 4 > WaW > Black Ops > MW2

MW3 hasn't been out long enough to put it anywhere, and if anyone says MW3 is better then any COD game after about 18 days of it being out is ignorant.


CoD 4 is made by Infinity Ward, idiot. You are claiming they are worse than Treyarch, yet their game is at the top of your list. Your post seems very redundant.

Not going to lie, Treyarch is the worst studio game design in the history. They don't know what they're doing.

Can't you understand how crappy graphic is from black ops?

Impossible to kill someone when you're using chopper.

Fail respawn.

Fail guns..

And on....
MW2 > Black Ops
Black Ops > evry other 3arc cod game
Black Ops > MW3
MW3 MW2
these r my opinions, u may begin trolling if u wish to

didn't show the less than or equal to sign in-between MW3 and MW2

Your naming problems that are in every call of duty..
Horrible respawns in every game, over powered guns in every game.
And black ops graphics were alot better than mw2/3's.

Lol. Black Ops was a fail. But hey, people can learn from their mistakes

Look at the ratings...

CoD: Finest Hour - MW2 all had 8.2+ ratings.

Black Ops and Modern Warfare 3 however, have 7's.

Here is an idea for IW and Treyarch...

IW: Remake CoD: 4 with updated graphics, new camos, few new weapons and theater mode.
Take out - LastStand, Martyrdom, and Juggernaut.

TA: Remake WaW with updated graphics, CAMOS, new weapons and theater mode.
Take Out- ^ the same as cod 4.

I guarantee they will be great games. Add some new maps as well, but the style that the original maps had. Thank you.

unZip Black ops 2 sounds quite bad as black ops is not as good as any cod i dont think black ops 2 will plus the name is not very good aswell


Black Ops 2?

Its like Project Natal, an early name.
And Mw3 is the worst CoD.


the name has not yet been confirmed

All you guys that are complaining about MW3 having too many over powered guns well, that's called balance and the maps were designed for not having camping so stop complaining that you can't sit in a corner with a clamor and get high kill streaks and if you think the spawns are bad then go to MW2 were they spawn you in the same spot and if you try to leave that spot you get spawn raped
