Call of Duty: Black Ops gets multiplayer and Hollywood voice talent[news]

Activision revealed the Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer features at a recent event in Los Angeles. Treyarch’s Dan Bunting and David Vanderhaar explain the "compete, customize and create" theme to the affair, which included player versus bots Combat Training mode. Check it out below. In the meanwhile, Gary Oldman and Ed Harris are two big league Hollywood stars who’ve lent their voices to the game’s characters, with Oldman playing Russian Red Army squad leader Viktor Reznov, and Harris the CIA operative Jason Hudson. The big screen made another a contribution with Batman Begins film writer David S. Goyer providing "script consultation and story development support".

Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia spoke about their role in the film: "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."
