The Russians

[ChrisMathers]

Okay, we have a rough idea at best how it's all gonna play out. All the screenshots, previews and trailers have indicated that we play as CIA operatives throughout most of the game, be it MACV SOG in Nam, Operation 40 in Cuba, or the guys in the Ural Mountains operation. There's also a level in Iran where you play as the SAS.

One question: Do you think we'll play as the Russians at all in this game?

It's pretty much 50/50 as they haven't said anything about it yet. You didn't play as them at all in the Modern Warfare games, but almost all the WW2 games had a Russian campaign. Seeing as Treyarch has a Spetsnaz adviser, I'm inclined to think Black Ops might have a Russian campaign, or at least a level or two.

maybe they will have several campaigns, like previous cods. but maybe they will have: SOG, Spetsnaz, SAS or something

Thats Only a Rumor.

I suggested this when Reznov was confirmed to be returning. Although now it looks like he will be on the American side. But I think it could still be a possibility, Sure the Russian's were Communist Jerks, but Treyarch could easily create a story in From a Russian Perspective, and It would be Awesome.

But when you also consider that they are the main antagonist, if not directly then behind the scenes, it makes it less likely.

I guess we will just have to Hurry up and Wait.
