Treyarch and Activision recently announced that Sean Murray, the composer who provided much of the soundtrack to World at War, has returned to compose the soundtrack for Black Ops. An excerpt from the press release can be found below.
“SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 4, 2010 /PRNewswire/ – Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) revealed today that the soundtrack to the most anticipated game of the year, Treyarch’s Call of Duty®: Black Ops, will also be available for download starting November 9th. Featuring the music of renowned film composer, Sean Murray, the digital-only soundtrack includes 30 tracks available through iTunes and other major digital media retailers.
The Call of Duty: Black Ops soundtrack, part of a digital distribution agreement between Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) and Fontana, the award-winning independent sales, marketing and distribution division of Universal Music Group, will be available for purchase online for a retail price of $11.99 per entire soundtrack or $.99 per track.
Sean Murray, one of the entertainment industry’s most esteemed musical talents, reunites with Treyarch for the Call of Duty: Black Ops soundtrack, an encore to his Call of Duty®: World at War composition.”
Players may remember portions of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Dies Irae featured in World at War, towards the end in the Red Army portion of the campaign. We know that Activision has licensing to use some Cold War era music, so it won’t be strictly a composed score.
COD HQ, the official Call of Duty message board and notice center, has updated with some more intel on Valkyrie Rockets, the 8-kill streak reward. The full post can be found below, courtesy of COD HQ.
The objective is in sight, but your backup’s been taken out and there’s no time to wait for reinforcements. Two defenders carelessly wait by the capture point, but a third more carefully covers the flag from a balcony above. You need something that can take out the grouped soldiers.Enter the Valkyrie Rockets.
The Valkyrie Rockets killstreak is accessible after 7 kills. Activate it to call in a Care Package drop with a launcher and two rockets. Equip the launcher and move to an open position. Now things get interesting.
After launching a rocket, you retain control over its trajectory. It travels at high speeds, but it’s got a lot of mobility. Swerve around obstacles and over rooftops. Enemies are highlighted for easy kills. If you need to cover ground quickly, the rocket even has a boost function, plus a manual detonation trigger for extra power and control.
The Valkyrie Rockets killstreak is particularly effective when defending objectives from a distance. Blasting an enemy off a Domination point or a flag, or quickly clearing enemy headquarters is vastly more satisfying with the Valkyrie Rockets. Use their mobility to surprise enemies and prevent your targets from retaliating.
How will you use the Valkyrie Rockets? Will you save them to defend and assault objectives, wait for groups of enemies to open themselves up to fire, or simply let loose into the open skies, guiding the rocket across the map and into the enemy lines?
We’re certainly anxious to try out our Valkyrie Rockets on November 9th, and we hope you’ll join us in counting down these last few days until release! Be sure to check out our forum for some captivating discussion on all things Black Ops.Thanks for checking in with us!
