Following a stack of Microsoft press releases proclaiming Halo: Reach to be the "biggest game of 2010" it was interesting to get one yesterday from the game that actually will be - COD: Black Ops. Actually Black Ops was only described as the most "anticipated launch of 2010" but clearly it will sell more than Halo: Reach. It may not be the better game though? More thoughts on that once I get a go on Reach. But anyway, Black Ops developers Treyarch have announced the voice talent for their upcoming shooter. Gary Oldman (Dracula, Dark Knight) and Ed Harris (Apollo 13, History of Violence) will be voicing the roles of the main characters. Script consultation will come from David Goyer (Dark Knights, Blade). Mark Lamia, Studio Head of Treyarch said:
Oldman, Harris and Goyer are considered some of Hollywood's finest talents and they perfectly complement Call of Duty: Black Ops' ambitious and immersive single player experience. Their contributions have helped us to push the boundaries of our story telling and character development far beyond anything we have ever attempted before in the franchise.
Quite how much anticipation your average COD fan has for the "story telling and character development" is debatable. Surely it's all about the multiplayer right?
What do you think though. Will Oldman and co make you more excited for Black Ops? Or will you be going straight into the multiplayer?
