Treyarch: Black Ops Single-Player Still Undecided
Treyarch's Josh Olin has been speaking to SPOnG about Call of Duty Black Ops' single-player campaign, it's release schedule and more. One thing that emerged from the interview up today is that the single-player campaign length is still undecided.

We asked, "How long is the single-player campaign? The length of the campaign in Modern Warfare 2, although it's obviously not your game, was criticised by a lot of people. How many hours have you got in this one?"

Josh responded, "We're not entirely sure yet, and there's definitely a sweet spot..."

So, rather worried, with the game being due for release on November 9th, we asked, "What point are you up to in development now?"

"We're just approaching release candidate stage, so in the next four to six weeks we're going to be submitting our first release candidates to first-parties, so they're going to start reviewing it and making sure that it's publishable on their platform," said Josh. "We're very close," he elaborated.

The full and lengthy interview is here.

I think this was more of a political answer from Josh, hence we also mentioned how bloody close Treyarch is to an release candidate. Frankly, it pisses me off that they just didn't say, "Single-player will be 8 hours, we're making money from online FFS".

That's the nature of the industry at the moment. Thankfully Tim Schafer exists.

Cheers

Tim
