Hollywood actors Ed Harris and Gary Oldman have been confirmed as providing voiceovers for Activision and Treyarch's Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Oldman will be reprising his role as Viktor Reznov, a Russian character from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, whilst Harris plays CIA agent Jason Hudson.

The game, which is due out on 9 November, also features the script-writing talents of David S. Goyer, who penned Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

"Oldman, Harris and Goyer are considered some of Hollywood's finest talents and they perfectly complement Call of Duty: Black Ops' ambitious and immersive single player experience," said Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia.

"Their contributions have helped us to push the boundaries of our story telling and character development far beyond anything we have ever attempted before in the franchise."

Activision also revealed last week that Black Ops would contain its own virtual currency used to buy in-game upgrades and items, though COD Points will not (initially, at least) be purchasable or spendable outside of the game.
