CoD: Black Ops shattered sales records set by Infinity Ward’s CoD: Modern Warfare 2, whilst a third MW game is expected to be announced next month.
However, Treyarch is yet to build its own CoD sub-series, having released CoD: World At War and Black Ops in the last three years. But with the huge success enjoyed by its latest outing, it would appear to make sense for publisher Activision to continue the BLOPS series.

When asked by the latest edition of OXM UK if there would ever be a Black Ops 2, Treyarch community manager Josh Olin replied: “Your guess is as good as mine.”
He added: “We’re so happy with Black Ops – it was incredible. Everyone hoped it would have this kind of success. We all knew how well MW2 did [in 2009], breaking all entertainment records, so the fact that Black Ops broke through it for a second year in a row and reset that record was incredible. We’re still really glad that we hit the ground with the DLC when we finished the game, because we knew we wanted to get it back out there.”
US sales monitor NPD announced last month that Call Of Duty: Black Ops had become the best-selling game of all time, shifting 13.7 million units in the States alone.
Treyarch released BLOPS map pack First Strike in February for a hefty 1200 MSP on Xbox 360.
So, readers… who’d be up for Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 – and who’d rather Treyarch start something from scratch once again?
