Not a lot known at the moment other than:

IGN

UK, March 9, 2010 - Codemasters has officially lifted the veil on Bodycount, its all-new first person shooter that's being created by much of the team behind PlayStation 2 hit Black.

Scheduled for an early 2011 release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Bodycount has players working for the 'Network', tasked with taking down 'Targets' in a game that, like its spiritual forebear, has an emphasis on arcade action. Both online multiplayer and co-operative modes are being promised, with the whole show being put on by Codemasters' EGO engine.

Stuart Black – creator of the original Black and Bodycount's Creative Director – filled in some of the gaps. "We're all massive FPS fans and believe that there's room for a refresh of the shooter experience," he said "Everything in Bodycount is absolutely centred on the bullet and its impact on the world. Our shredding tech enables us to create a different kind of gameplay, where players and AI can't hide behind indestructible cover and rely on whack-a-mole mechanics."

Expect to hear a lot more about Bodycount here on IGN in the near future.

I really enjoyed Black on the xbox and this is has the potential to be something quiet good.

Nice. I enjoyed Black, even if it took a whole clip to take an enemy down

Should be good!

Will look forward to more information about this one, hoping it doesn't turn out to be a big let down.

Online Co-Op is always good though

so I hope they include that!

I want nothing to do with Codemasters after what they did with Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.

This game will be the same.

Surely it's down the the developers? And i'm pretty sure this is being developed by a different team.

i wouldnt blame the developers for operation flashpoint, it was simply released to early, that was codemasters fault.

Wasn't it in development for about 10 years?

I thought Black was a bit crap tbh, maybe they can do more with this generation.
