Report: Raven Software working on Call of Duty: Black Ops DLC, alleged Bond game on hold

If
reports from G4 sources are to be believed,
Singularity developer Raven Software is working on a "stealth-centric
Bond game" (not to be confused with the
unannounced Bond racer). Not only that,
but the game has supposedly been put on hold so that Raven can create map packs for this November's Treyarch-developed
Call of Duty: Black Ops. Apparently, in the wake of
Activision's kerfuffle with (now former) Infinity Ward staff, the publisher is having to assign substitute developers to work on various components of the lucrative
Call of Duty franchise.
While the situation sounds less than ideal for Raven, it beats the
pretty heavy layoffs suffered by the studio last year. Now having
too much work sounds like a
good problem for Raven, especially in a still-ailing
economy. We reached out to Activision to confirm this report, but hadn't heard back as of publishing.
Update: Activision responded, "Activision does not comment on rumor and speculation."
