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.

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.



MW3 will probably be between WAW and Black Ops

Not saying it is but from experience of playing it so far it is better than black ops.

Honestly, imo, if Activision doesnt go out and hire a completely new studio, and create a completely new game engine, and give CoD an entire overhaul. Then MW3 will be the last CoD game I buy. Games are meant to be fun. Not stress inducing. Whoever posts these adds should find out what Respawn is doing with their "CoD Killer" game, and post some of that. If there is anything yet.

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.

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....


1. Who cares what the graphics look like get over it jeez.
2. That's on your end i've called in alot of CG's and i always get kills.
3. This has been in every CoD where have you been?
4. OK so what guns do you want? Nerf guns?


1. Everybody? If you don't, go play COD 2.
4. I believe he means they already are.

1. Really? I sure as hell don't their graphics i don't care if they looked like PS1 graphics. As long as i'm playing the game and having fun that's all that matters.
2. Not really most of the guns in Black Ops were pretty balanced except a few. But they were more balanced than MW2s and MW3s guns.

This is a complete joke!
I hated Black Ops! Now MW3 will have to last me two years!

haha, well, good to know i dont have to buy next years call of duty. FUC* BLACK OPS. game sucked soo bad, worse CoD game ever.
do they realize people aren't going to buy the sequel of a shi**y game?
well, i guess treyarch will be treyarch... KEEP THE BAD GAMES ROLLIN!

The CoD franchise got started with CoD4, made by IW, and it will die by IW, no matter how many shitty CoD games tryarch produces, IW will always look good compared to treyarch.
