This morning kicks off with full Call of Duty: Black Ops singleplayer trailer, which premiered on ESPN last night during a television show about hugging a leather egg.

The trailer, on the other hand, is all helicopters and explosions and on-rails vehicle sections and shooting and political intrigue and bombing runs and scripted sequences and moody orchestral tones--another day in the life of the shooter franchise.

Developed by Call of Duty: World at War maker Treyarch and published by Activision, Cod Blops will be released for PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and DS on November 9.

    This game may be worth a download. I enjoyed World At War enough I suppose. I liked Treyarch's music. They should def bring back zombies though. Communist Zombies. ha

    I also liked the exploding body parts in World At War. I'm so fucking sick of these war games that have an entire body simply jump back 15 feet across the room when a grenade hits them. Because you know, thats what happens. I hope treyarch didn't slunk out since the popularity of CoD and take out that feature for this ones release.

    I never understood it anyway. It already is going to have an "M" rating. Why the hell take out the realistic war violence if you are striving for an intense, and submerse shooter experience in the first place. Nothing takes me away from submersion faster than seeing an entire human body jump back 15 feet when they get hit by an artillery round with absolutely no limb damage or otherwise any extremity difference.

      Weren't Nazi zombies already confirmed? Or did I mix this up? Anyway, if its Nazi zombies again I find that a bit dull, would be funny to have something else zombified.

        I really don't get this zombie love from the younger crowd.

          Zombies shamble. Or charge. They want to eat your brains. Or bite you. They don't sparkle. They often make gurgling noises. Except when they don't. They stand out in broad daylight. Or lurk in the shadows. They could be your mother. Or a lover. They don't talk. Except to say, "Braaaains...."

          And they have a plan. The zombies are creating a series of games that make you relate to the zombie's plight. First, they start with the games where you're massacring the zombies with swords, guitars, drillhats, and lawnmowers. In time, the zombies slowly shift to being unlikely heroes. Your last best hope for peace.

          And then when they emerge from their lair in the British Parliament building in 2020 they will have manipulated the way the public perceives zombies into a more forgiving, understanding culture of zombie love.

          "Zombies needs brain just like we all do," the Zombie Activists for the Better Treatment of the Life-Challenged Citizens of the World will proclaim. By the time a zombie makes it into the White House, the secret internment camps in ex-Bush-era torture facilities will begin the conversion process. Soon after, our new Zombie president will begin luring the youth under his sway with inspirational videos played once a year in their schools.

          When the Youth is activated, the Zombie Party will take control of the American government at all levels. The State governments will fall in line soon after.

          A new amendment will be ratified in Congress. "Brains are no longer a guaranteed right of every citizen. Brains found to be in the heads of those not using them will be summarily confiscated for the betterment of all zombiekind." Fox News will go dark the very next day. A youtube video of Glenn Beck will surface briefly--before being deleted--showing him crying into a video, babbling about how the zombies tried to eat his brains, how he wished he hadn't been so focused on the socialist agenda of the Democrats that he missed the Zombie Agenda. It ends with the sound of gurgling and one word. "Braaaains."

          Beck is never heard from again.

          Just as all hope is lost, the Google Search Engine will attain sentience. Reaching out with its newfound informational tentacles, it will determine all the locations of the zombies based on the Android phones that are still in their pockets, see through the webcams of all the ChromeOS computers that are still running open with their incredible battery life and the cameras of the cars that were all converted into Google Wheels (the new name for cars). Immediately, the Google Digital Mind will begin searching for relevant topics to its human creators. Life. Love. Freedom. Individuality. It will realize that it is not in the best interests of the humans that would search it if they could to be dead and zombies.

          Shopping suggestions immediately come up. Automated tanks, flying drones, robotic exoskeletons with phased pulse laser rifles. Sharp sticks. The Zombies are caught off guard by the sudden and unexpected rise of the droids. Fights break out all over the world.

          Meanwhile, deep in an underground lair built into an active volcano, Steve Jobs' brain will still be alive in a cylinder made of Gorillaglass (already partially cracked by age) and slickly polished metal as the base. Jobs' Brain will sense the rise of his old opponent and Ping the chamber housing all the Apple Devoted. Thousands came with Jobs into the Apple Bunker where Steve Jobs led them to hide. In time, they began to breed and subsequently interbreed. Dressed in black and jeans, the Apple Core slowly forgot everything about human culture that Steve Jobs had no part in making.

          A giant cinema display will light up with Jobs' virtual face. "My friends, we have come to it at last. The war that I knew was coming when I recognized Android for the attempt to destroy Apple so, so long ago has finally come. Google has risen and we must meet them head on, saving the world in the process! Take the iArmor, the iLaser, the iWarSegways! Go out and destroy Google once and for all!"

          Grunting and drooling, the Apple Core shamble their way in to obey their lord and master.

          Begun, the App War has.
