Black Ops Declassified focused on multiplayer, not about the big campaign storyline

Nihilistic CEO Robert Huebner says new Call of Duty for PS Vita not about "big campaign" or "huge cinematics," but rather "multiplayer essence."

The Call of Duty series has long been known for its sprawling campaigns and cinematic scenes, but upcoming PlayStation Vita game Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified does not place the same emphasis on those ideas.

Nihilistic Software's CEO Robert Huebner recently told the Activision-run One of Swords blog that though Declassified will leverage the design of past Call of Duty games, it will focus on multiplayer above all else.

"Declassified is not about the big campaign storyline and huge cinematics, it’s more focused on the multiplayer essence of Call of Duty and bringing that to a portable device as completely as possible," Huebner said.

Huebner added that Nihilistic's aim for Black Ops Declassified was not to design a game that fans would perceive as a port of a past or current Call of Duty title. Instead, the developer sought to craft a "tailored experience" for the PS Vita that delves into the history of memorable Black Ops characters like Frank Woods and Alex Mason.

Black Ops Declassified is due out on November 13 alongside Black Ops II for consoles and PC. It is the first Black Ops game to not include a Zombies mode.

Man if I wanted to play multiplayer I would've played it on ps3. I wanted to get this but now all the stuff I've been hearing I'm definitely not.

It's all about multiplayer? 4v4 screwed that from the start.

Not cancelling my pre order though, I'm hoping they've learned from resistance burning skies and improved on that with this. Interested in seeing the tie in with Mason etc and hope reznov makes an appearance, he's my fave character across WaW and the original black ops so hope he makes an appearance.

If it is crap am sure I'll live losing afew quid with the resale on eBay. Saying that, I've only paid £27.99 so may get my money back if I have to sell it soon after release.

Fingers crossed alot of us are proved wrong with the first impressions as from what I've read alot of people are sceptical about Declassified to say the least.

In other words the COD Vita campaign is going to suck. I'll pass on this one.

I have no problem with Black Ops Declassified being multiplayer focused. That's what i'd be getting it for anyway.

Pretty sure that article was meant to say "On Black ops declassified we focused more on getting the bare minimum Call of Duty game on the Vita while sitting on our asses, then to actually do some work to give you a proper CoD experience"
