James C. Burns won't return for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

James C. Burns won't be returning to voice the part of Frank Woods in 'Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War'.

The voice actor has revealed he won't be returning to the money-spinning franchise for the much-hyped new game, as Activision hasn't invited him back.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, James shared: "I'm sure the story's gonna be brilliant, but I've got 80,000 pounds of weight to bring to this thing - and not a knock on whoever they got in there, but he doesn't have the background that I have with Woods.

"I got 11 years with this guy, and I have all this backstory and all this front-loaded stuff. So that's my frustration.

"Not that this guy's not gonna do a good job, I'm sure he's a professional actor, I'm sure he'll do fine. But I would've f****** crushed this thing! That's my frustration, I wish I had a shot at it."

The much-anticipated 'Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War' is set for release in November, and is likely to be one of the best-selling games over Christmas.
