It's official, the new Call of Duty by Treyarch is going to be called Black ops.

Release Date: 11/09/2010 (AMERICAN CALENDAR)
Right now there is little information available, but according to game.co.uk there'll be places like Cuba, vietnam and the arctic.

I'm really putting all my hopes into treyarch and see if they won't **** up like IW did with MW2.
and well, aslong as it'll contain a Nazi Zombie like mode I'm a happy guy.

I will also update this post when I spot news. (and you can share yours)

MW2 sold like a billion copies. Don't give us that crap "they f'd up". MW2 surpass the first in every way.

the reason it sold so much is because 90% of the fanbase are 12 year olds why start acting like retards when they couldn't get the game from their parents. same reason the map pack sold so good.

but I guess it's a personal taste anyway, mw2 was crap compared to CoD4.

I agree with oldage. The game is a screw up. COD4 was and is so much better.

1. MW1 and MW2 are both epic games I don't care about multi that's for little 12 year olds to cry and talk trash in. 2. Shockwave4 says no one has done Vietnam but that's not true there are many of them out there like the Shellshock series, one of the Conflict series, and the Vietcong series.

The debut trailer is coming out in an hour and a half

It better be good! But I know it will be good, maybe WAW wasn't as good as COD4, but Treyarch is definitely a community company, just look at WAW for the PC, and MW2 for the PC. One is just a *BIT* better...

Enough about MW2 or COD4, this forum is talking about COD: Black Ops or whatever it is. I heard it's going to be about the Vietnam War, and that sounds exciting because no one has really done that yet. Can't wait for it to come out.
How about these
Vietcong
Conflict Vietnam
Shellshock Nam '67
Vietcong: Purple haze
Battlefield Vietnam Redux
Vietcong 2
and more recently ,
Shellshock 2 Blood trails

Also heres a full list of games that have been set in the vietnam war.

Admittedly I have owned most of the games I have listed above but I just wrote the more known Vietnam games.

Just throwing it out there again.

CoD2 is the only CoD game that is any good on consoles. If any of you have a 360 and haven't played it, go buy it. This game will suck though.

I don't really care about who says which one was bad or good. All I care about is how fun it is and the game's ability to keep me interested. So far, I'm still having fun and am still interested in MW2. I never compare it to previous ones. I just think of it as its own game. If everyone would stop comparing it would stop half of the bad comments.... Haha

The only reason why MW2 12 year olds will be buzzing around this game is because of Nazi Zombies.

I hate when people hate something just because its new... MW2 rocked, no lie, if you dont like it, thats fine, but dont vent on other people!

Oh BTW, if you hate something because it's new, your and idiot.

Um, when did any of us say we hated it cause it's new? I don't care if it's a million years old or just made yesterday, MW2 was a huge letdown. If you consider glitchy environments and a terrible community fun, you are the idiot.

My work here is done....

.... Now to sit in the corner and cry...

I meant like the frontline FPS game franchises like the Battlfield series or the Call of Duty series. A lot of games have done the 'modern' warfare and the Vietnam era and I'm just really excited that the COD franchise is actually doing this.
Hopefully Treyarch won't ruin it though. Infinity Ward COD games are the bomb.

I can't say I'll hate this game when I play it because I'll probably really enjoy it. Yet I wish that they'd wait longer between installments... I mean they ahold wait at least a year and a half to two years before that bring out a new one.. It's just so repetitive and less-interesting when they come out year afte year as if being created by cyborgs... Lol

To be honest, I thought MW1 was good. But after all the hype, I decided not to get the second one, because I thought maybe it was TOO hyped up - and it would be crap.
But then one day I bought it, and I actually really, thoroughly enjoyed it. I only really play story mode - I'm not a great online gamer. To me, MW2 lived up to its expectations, but I'm not sure whether or not this one will. Only time will tell huh?

I'm sorry but I'll just have to step in here. To all the people that are stating that MW2 didn't live up to your expectations and that it's a pile of crap need to stop ratting on everyone else that enjoys the game. Sure it's a glitchy game and there are a lot of imbalances but seriously? You don't like it, doesn't mean everyone else shouldn't like it. And I'm not saying you said that but calling people idiots just because they like it seems foolish and unnecessary.

Also don't blame Infinity Ward if you don't know the full story.

1) Activision didn't allow Infinity Ward to allow a beta for the game, it's not Infinity that felt cocky towards the game, it was Activision.

2) Treyarch is no better then Infinity Ward at creating games, in fact I'd say IW is better. The only reason people like Treyarch more is because it fixes IW's flaws. It's like running an obstacle course, your partner gets hit from the left and you learn and go to the right. He took the risk and you fix his mistakes. That doesn't make you better then him.

Well that's just my two cents, here is some news I found about the multiplayer.

* While they've tried having custom killstreaks for each class, that seemed to complicate the 'purity and speed' of Create a Class.
* Consequently, it's fair to assume that customizable killstreaks are all but confirmed.
* At this stage in development, killstreaks stack and carry over if you die, but do not contribute to further killstreaks (hence eliminating the 'camping for killstreaks' problem of Modern Warfare 2).
* Treyarch are not fans of Commando, the extended melee range perk in Modern Warfare 2, and it is unlikely to return.
* They've tried a 'manned' version of the Sentry Gun killstreak, but weren't fans.
* We may well see a return to pistols as the only available sidearm, or perhaps a choice between pistols and launchers. Vahn and many of the team are not fans of shotguns and machine pistols as secondary weapons - it gives a player 'too much firepower'.
* The knife may well become a secondary weapon - although Vahn didn't want to say too much.
* Finally, don't expect the nuke to return as a killstreak. Vahn says they are not fans of a game-ending killstreak.

Seems like a good start to fixing some problems and can't wait for a beta (if there will be one.)

I know it makes me look stupid, but I'm gonna comment anyway.

what studio is better comes down to personal preference...sure, IW did a GREAT job on CoD4 but they screwed up on mw2, and I always liked Call of Duty World at War because at most points it actually required SOME thinking like in CoD4 (don't laugh, running & gunning in WaW did not work, expect with the MP40).
mw2 was too noob friendly for my likings...I have a positive KDR on it yet I do not enjoy it as much as CoD4 and WaW where I had a negative KDR.
and with IW going down at the moment...seems like treyarch will become the leading company on the CoD franchise (it's all we have left basically, sledgehammer games will probably fail to create a good new CoD)
and I never said I didn't like mw2... it just wasn't as good as the previous games. (and I liek WWII)

vietcong zombies?
vietnambies?

I really don't know if they will bring back zombies. People are still playing zombies though as I went on yesterday and it took me about 5 secs to get into a match. Treyarch might bring it back, but it was kinda WaW's thing, them being Nazis and all.

Why is everybody comparing Treyarch to Infinty Ward? They're were both under Activision, so they both make the quality of games (well, one makes more futuristic ones, the other tends to stay in the past).

P.S. By were, I mean Infinity Ward is now working with EA instead (that'll look weird, huh? Modern Warfare 3 by EA? :eek

I will probaly pass on this. It seems as if every time Infinity Ward makes a good game, Treyarch makes the SAME EXACT game just with a boring and lame story. The multiplayer will be exactly like Modern Warfare 2's, and will have no origanalality whatsoever. It happened with COD 5, I'm sure it will happen again. And please Treyarch, no zombies.

Alright the game looks O.K. I just want to see some more original CoD games out on the market. Not just some re-hash game of the previous game a year before. *cough cough CoD: World at War cough cough* Treyarch can earn my money by at least making a good storymode for this game.

The multiplayer on this game looks epic, I was definitely cynical about this game since treyarch don't have a very good success rate, an amazing 0% of there games have lived up to the hype. However that gameplay shows me that they can make games and if they can polish it up and keep the gameplay balanced this could be an amazing title.

Uhh... in your opinion?

Considering MW2 is one of the most popular commercial games this year, but the huge majority of active gamers agree there are much better games out there, I'd say MW2 doesn't live up to its hype either.

WaW is still my favorite CoD game because their zombie gameplay modes are very fun for me.

I like their campaign and multiplayer more too. I think Infinity Ward goes for more open environments with more paths and less cover, while Treyarch's multiplayer has less wacky perks and more claustrophobic environments (which I like, but I understand not everyone would agree.)

The campaign in WaW is more of objective-to-objective combat. In MW2, you constantly are running around and getting flanked, which isn't that fun for me personally.

I'll be honest, it looks pretty much more of the same. I'm not complaining really as I do enjoy MW2 (Prestiged twice) so I'll prob get it for the multiplayer. I have to say though, the E3 demo was pretty boring (particularly in the chopper, nothing new).

True. I was just thinking about that. I think each WaW Map/Zombie pack was $15, and there were 3 packs, and the full game was $60... The pricing is ridiculous. The same goes for the MW2 packs. I assume they'll continue overpricing things in Black Ops, sadly...

They are expensive for what they are but their continued strong sales just prove to Activision that they aren't overpriced.

I'm not a fan of Call Of Duty, I just came to see whats new in the game, and nothing still intrests me.

But what if it gets to the time and you have to choose between Black Ops and LBP2, what would you choose?

If Nazi Zombies came back on Black Ops, then there's no doubt I'll by Black Ops first. LBP2... maybe on the same day, but I'll play it after I beat Black Ops's Campaign Mode.

I still play Call of Duty 4, for some reason. I don't know what it is, but I feel its just a better game then all the other CoDs.

I didn't really like WaW, the only thing in it that I found fun was the zombie mode, so I'll wait to see if this game gets good reviews before I buy it. i'll definately buy it if it has a zombie mode.

And maybe I will fish myself a copy of CoD Bo from surfing the se.. I mean web.

Unless they are bringing back the WaW zombie maps to play in normal multiplayer, it seems Zombies is coming back

DDDD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSPpJPj1Rd4&playnext=0&videos=YfMtDIYV-bE&feature=recentlik
Here's a video with a gamestop employee saying the Hardened Edition comes with 4 WaW zombie maps.

I also went to www.bestbuy.com and checked the Black Ops Hardened Edition, and this is what the features said:

SteelBook casing included
"Woods" avatar theme & Black Ops Medal
Four Zombie Maps Pack made famous from COD: World at War

If they are bringing it back (Which would be a smart move) it's gotta be better than it was in WaW. I'm excited.

I hope they don't overdo the perks.

Perk machines are fun in my opinion, but other than that, I like the traditional guns versus zombies, without traps, teleporters, gun upgraders, or freaking monkey grenades.

I wish you could even choose your specifications for perk options before you enter a zombie match.

Are you kidding me? Those "overdone" perks made the game a whole lot funner!

Sure, they had some bad placings (like Shi No Numa had a Mystery Box with a Perk-A-Cola machine, and Der Riese had the teleporter next to a Bowie Knife and Mystery Box), but removing them would be a bad decision.

Besides, if you think those are overdone, then you haven' seen Modern Warfare 2's perks.

Pretty nice breakdown of the trailer, somethings he talks about that I did not notice.

-Red Dot is a Smiley Face
-Clan tag is now engraved into your gun. (This is something I really like.)

I am pretty excited for this game and the multiplayer reveal looks AMAZING, however, I am pretty disappointed in the prestige edition. A remote control car that probably will break the 3rd time you use it really doesn't cut. It looks useful in the game and also fun to drive, but it really looks like a kid's toy. I probably will consider picking the prestige edition up though, for the bonuses that come with it and because I absolutely LOVE the Call of Duty franchise, but I probably won't unwrap the 'car' thing. I'll just probably sell it on eBay or something.

New trailer, new gamemodes:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCP1g0dcUFE&feature=sub

This seems to tell us that Black Ops will have a money system where you buy your guns and stuff :o

Here's some news about the multiplayer:

Just a few hours until the Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer event kicks off but before that some multiplayer info has crawled out from nowhere.

We're just a few hours away from the full multiplayer reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops but who said we had to wait that long to get some information? The latest edition of Shortlist magazine ? has just gone live and Black Ops multiplayer was featured.

It appears that they are the first magazine to go inside Treyarch studios and to preview the multiplayer portion of the game. It's not clear if this is "leaked" information and if they breached their NDA or embargo and some may say that it's "fake", but judging from the new screenshots and the professionalism of the magazine, it looks very real.

In the magazine they interview lead multiplayer designer David "Vahn" Vonderhaar. He began by talking about how a lot of inspiration went into the game and that Major Josh Plaster (SOG group member) influenced a lot of additions. The SOG created a lot of their own equipment which includes a "Nightingale" device, this device consists of a bunch of firecrackers bundled together and then thrown into the jungle to create gunfire sounds as it goes off. This is a good decoy to draw out the enemy and to then ambush him, they decided to put this in the game.

The "Full Metal Jacket" film is another thing that influenced them as they took the "This is my weapon. This is my gun" line as you can now create a tag and etch it onto your weapons, hence stamping them as your own. This is one of the first things that people noticed in the teaser trailer, along with the smiley sight which Vahn has now confirmed that sights can be altered. You can also clip on attachments such as flame-throwers!

Probably one of the most intriguing new features is the introduction of currency. That's right, can you can earn in-game cash for your success! With this cash you can spend it on unlocking weapons, uniforms and accessories to make your character unique.

But that's not all, the money has also introduced a new intense addictive game mode called "Wager Mode". This mode features 4 games that you can choose and you gamble with your own currency while the feat of loss is incredibly great that it intensifies the action.

"One in the chamber" sees you having one bullet and if you have to shoot and kill then you receive your dead enemy's bullet so that you can reload. If you shoot and miss then your only option is to sneak up on an enemy to knife them. "Sharpshooter" gives you a random generated weapon so you can either be dangerously overpowered or woefully under-prepared. "Sticks and Stones" sees you armed with just three basic weapons, killing an enemy with the crossbow or the ballistic knife gets you big points where the tomahawk doesn't but in a tactical move it resets the dead enemy to zero. "Gun Game" sees you trying to get a kill with 20 different weapons and the first that manages win but if you're knifed to death then you're humiliated and have to go back and perform another kill with the last weapon you used.

As expected, the classic team deathmatch returns. They also revealed the names and descriptions of 3 maps which are based around the 60's and 70's Cold War era. "Radiation" is based in an abandoned power station, "Summit" is in a snowbound mountain base and "Launch" is staged around a rocket which lifts off during gameplay, hence frying anyone underneath it. It's worth noting that Summit and Launch were both seen in the teaser trailer.

The last feature that is mentioned is the "Theater" mode that got many excited at the end of the teaser trailer. With this feature you can revisit every game you play that is stored and you can view it from different angles. You can also recut the clips to create you own highlights reels and movies, then you can upload it. Vahn acknowledges that there will be a lot of storage needed to be able to cope with the amount of uploads and that they're trying to make the back-end as strong as possible.

The last thing worth noticing is that they mention a trailer will debut during half-time of the England vs Bulgaria game on ITV this Friday 3rd September.

Actually, that news confirms that currency is in the game.

Oh and check out this IGN article: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/111/1117610p1.html

I watched the reveal. Here is more information for all of you.

List of all perks:

Tier 1 Perks are:

* Lightweight
* Scavenger
* Ghost
* Flak Jacket
* Hardline

Ghost is Cold-Blooded, and Flak Jacket is the same perk from WaW, reduces explosive damage.

Tier 2 Perks are:
* Hardened
* Scout
* Steady Aim
* Sleight of Hand
* Warlord

Hardened is deeper bullet penetration, Scout lets you hold your breath longer, and Warlord is Bling.

Tier 3 Perks are:
* Marathon
* Ninja
* Second Chance
* Hacker
* Tactical Mask

Second Chance is last stand. Tactical Mask makes you resistant to tear gas and flash bangs. Hacker is similar to Sitrep. Hacker Pro will allow you to booby trap enemy care packages, and allow you to hack enemy equipment like claymores, Sam turrets, and Sentry guns to turn them friendly.

Yes, that means no Stopping Power, Juggernaut, Commando, OMA and Danger Close. Yay!

Killstreaks Baby!

3 Killstreaks:

-Spy Plane (UAV)
-RC XD

4 Killstreaks:

-Counter Spy Plane $1600 (Counter UAV)
-Sam Turret $1600 (Remote Turret that shoots down air support)

5 Killstreaks:

-Care Package
-Napalm Strike

6 Killstreaks:

-Sentry Gun $3200
-Mortar Team (Target three locations to bombard with Mortar Strikes)

7 Killstreaks:

-Attack Helicopter
-Valkyrie Rockets $4000 (Pretty sure it's the controlled Predator Missiles)

8 Killstreaks:

-BlackBird $4500
-Rolling Thunder $4500

9 Killstreaks:

-Chopper Gunner $5000 (Not the same as the Chopper Gunner in MW2, you sit in the side gunner seat and shoot down (think of the co-op mission from MW2)

11 Killstreaks:

-Attack Dogs $6000 (Can't wait for this, they must be viscous as hell)
-Gunship $6000

Four Playable Maps from the Reveal:

Summit – a snowy mountain base.
Launch – the rocket map we see in the teaser trailer.
Radiation – an abandoned power station.
Cracked – a secluded town in shambles.

Leaderboard Info

Black Ops’ Leaderboards are going to be featuring an automated system that will be able to detect any outrageous cheaters that are at the top and remove them. They also intend to keep a close eye on the boards to make sure the top contenders have a close represented score to what their skill level displays. So, if you are merely trying to cheat by adding a high number, but keeping it reasonable, they will know and you will most likely not be up there for long!

Not sure how good BO will be for me as I like sniping and you don't get stopping power... Will they be one hit kills? Meh. :/

Oh well. Looking forward to it anyway.

Bot matches will be a fun way to get away from any possible BS that happens in online MP.

Also, don't cringe towards the Tac Insertion. Treyarchs already shown they've learnt a lot from MW2 so I doubt they would have put one of the biggest flaws into BO the same as it was. I can bet they're gonna have some way to make the TIs unable to be used in boosting. (Cooldown? Longer respawn?)

News on the tactical insertion and other things:

osh stated that the Tactical Insertion will be returning but that there will be ways to flag boosters. He used the theater mode as an example because it will allow players to record and upload their clips, hence having the ability to catch and report boosters in the act. He also said that they will have the mechanisms to ban boosters.

Theater mode was also touched on more. You can watch a film or a clip with a party rather than on your own. You just open a lobby, load up a film and then watch it together. He also said that you will be able to render and upload a clip to the web and that it will be optimized for web and mobile viewing.

Dogs are a one-bite kill, hence why they're an 11 killstreak. The SR-71 Blackbird can't be shot down and the radar blips don't have a delay but you can see the direction the enemy's are facing.

Barebones is in the game. Barebones is a playlist that disables perks and other options in order to allow the player to play with just his gun and other items.

The console versions of the game don't really need dedicated servers at the broadband Internet service provides are cable of hosting 18-player games. He also mentions that the connection depends on host selection and matchmaking, hence why they decided to add locale matchmaking.

When earning a chopper gunner you will control the gunner on the door whereas the gunship is a fully controllable helicopter that you can fly using thumbsticks and you can use the right and left triggers to shoot rockets and the minigun. If an ARC angel comes towards your gunship then you can shoot it out of mid-air.

The restriction of party chat in Modern Warfare 2 led to many mixed opinions. In the latest Black Ops build it's only restricted in Search and Destroy and they're aware that there are pros and cons to both sides of the argument but they're still not sure where they'll land on the debate.

Lightweight and Marathon have been toned down. It's believed that Marathon is now a longer extreme conditioning rather than unlimited sprinting. Deathstreaks won't be in the game as it's not their opinion to reward players for dying, but they believe that Combat Training will help newcomers ease into Multiplayer.

They will have the ability to moderate the leaderboards in Black Ops, so this means that we may see less hackers and cheaters at the top of the boards.

The Ballistic Knife is a secondary weapon and you can still use your regular knife by using the right thumbstick.

You can dive to prone by holding crouch while sprinting but it can really only be used as a defensive maneuver. Before you can fire again there is a short half-second recovery which is similar to switching weapons. Treyarch have their own dropshooter in their studio (who they despise) and he agrees that the diving to prone mechanic doesn't help his case. Although it can't be used for dropshotting, there are a few ways it can come in handy, such as capping flags, diving through a window to avoid grenades or even diving round the corner of a building to avoid enemy fire.

I think you can change the firing rate of the weapon. So it can be Auto, Single, or Burst.

You can still drop shot, a dive to prone only happens when your sprinting. And the Famas is Auto. I'm 99% sure you can't change the rate.

My main concern now is that this hopefully lives up to its name. MW2 was a major letdown when it was released, so with all the hype going around it should impress.

So I haven't at all been interested in this game, looks more of the same. However, this makes me consider a buy:

Yes, that means no Stopping Power, Juggernaut, Commando, OMA and Danger Close. Yay!

If they are actually going for a balanced game (which MW2 was far far from) then I might be a bit more interested now. I'll keep my eye on it.

So Tactical Insertions are disabled in Free For All. They also have put the banhammer down on any boosters you find, record the footage, report it to Treyarch with the video attached and they will be banned from the game. Not Xbox, just the game.

EDIT: This can all be down in-game by the way, no need to transfer the video file to your computer, you can report straight from the game and attach your video as well.

I don't think so, they just announced it. Like today, so any other "news" was just assumption. This is cold hard fact, from the developers from Treyarch.

Hardline, steady aim and ninja for me. Or maybe marathon, it depends if I need the extra sprint.

But yeah I want the FAMAS to be burst fire again, if it is my class will pretty much be the same as on MW2.

edit: I will also have a class pretty much the same only with warlord for red dot silencer XD

indeed
the no skill kids always choose the easist kits
i miss the old days when the player with the best aiming wins and not the best setup
winning with the best setup is for runescape and world of warcraft and not shooters

Not really. If you go to the Call of Duty forums, you'll find Vahn (one of the developers) posting some replies to some community asked questions. He already answered the booster problem by telling everybody you can record players during their boosting and report them via Black Ops. Not to mention you can cancel your Tac Insert during your Killcam.

So yeah, it was old news... well at least to me.

True, but it's a community thing to predict what's going to be overpowered. We already decided it was going to be Second Chance and (due to the trailer) the Spectre.

Maybe. Better damage has always been abused, but Black Ops limits it, so it may be over looked instead.

What I'm interested is what the final sniper rifle is! They've mentioned 3 only, yet Vahn confirmed there was 4 of them in the game!

I'm still debating whether or not to get this game. It looks pretty cool, like an improved MW2, but I just don't think I'd play it that much. It would have to be really a really awesome game for me to pay $60 for it, and right now, it looks like it's heading in the right direction.

Leaked video of all the killstreaks in the game, watch it before it goes down.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cvlHPh9USM&feature=player_embedded

Also,

During a impromptu Q&A session on Twitter last night, Treyarch’s Josh “JD2020″ Olin scuppered the hopes of all those that planned on using their ‘l33t Quickscoping skillZ’ in Black Ops. Treyarch don’t like Quickscoping and think FPS games should be “played straight-up”, thus, not only making Sleight of Hand Pro not work with Sniper Riles, but specifically gimping the ability to Quickscope in Black Ops.

When asked if Quickscoping will be possible in Black Ops, Olin replied:

No, Quickscoping is a cheap way to play. We’re specifically going to gimp Quickscoping, sorry. Play straight-up!

Not liking what they had heard, people began to quiz Olin about the subject of Quickscoping in Black Ops some more. Once again Treyarch’s community manager clarified:

Nope. Quickscoping is way more annoying to a way larger group of people than the quickscoping community who loves to do it. #cheap”.

Here here!

How are they going to do this? Well, apart from disabling Sleight of Hand Pro with Sniper Rifles, Olin also said that they would be making Sniper Rifles off-center until you have fully zoomed in for a certain amount of time. We don’t know if they have anything else up their sleeves.

Sorry Moleynator. D:

I'm fine with the nerf. Everyone in that video is exaggerating on the off crosshairs when you zoom in, it's not that bad at all, watch some Black Ops videos with sniping and you'll see that it's not AS bad as they make it seem. Also, even though I loved quickscoping in Search and Destroy I felt like something like this needed to be done.

Sniping is meant to be done from long range, it's meant to be used as a defense, not an offense, have a sniper at the end of a long path and I'm sure no one will want to be going down it once they realize a sniper is there, that's how sniping is MEANT to be.

Like I said the quickscoping is fun but it's unnecessary and it doesn't help when your all alone with 5 teammates trying to get montage worthy clips causing you to lose the game.
_________________________________________

But for some better news;

Multiplayer Online Split-Screen Support

Let’s get started with what I believe is the most unknown, yet confirmed, aspect to Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer – the online split-screen support we’ve re-introduced to the franchise!

The Facts:

* You can connect a second controller and bring a guest online (i.e. “JD_2020” & “JD_2020(1)”

.
* Guests can rank up, earn unlocks, etc – all guest progress goes away once signed out.
* You can bring a second, full PSN account online!
* Both players with full PSN ID’s can rank up while playing together in split-screen, as if on two separate consoles.

Custom Games Editor

Allow me to introduce the Black Ops Custom Games Editor! Private matches have never been this customizable. Players will have the ability to structure their games at all new levels of granularity. From variables as simple as Time Limit and Score Limit, or as deep as which weapons, Perks, and gear are available. You want a Pistols Only match? Make one! No longer do custom game modes rely on the “honor system.”

Furthermore, any Custom Game you create and configure can be placed in your File Share, for friends and the community to browse, download, and enjoy. You just might create the most addictive new game mode of all time from the comfort of your own living room!

In-Game Friends List

We’ve integrated a built-in Friends List into the in game user interface. You’ll be able to browse Recent Players, Friends, navigate their File Shares, Recent Games, Combat Records – all within this in-game menu system designed to streamline the social process within the game. Sending game invites and joining Friends’ games has never been simpler than in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Regional Matchmaking & Party Privacy

Call of Duty: Black Ops will support regional matchmaking filters on a global scale. So, no matter where you’re at in the world, you will have the ability to specify whether you want to match with players from other geographical regions, or only those local to you. This will make communication and lag a much less intrusive variable on your gameplay experience.

Additionally, given Black Ops will support joining games in progress via an even simpler built-in in-game Friends List interface, we’ll allow a Party leader to lock down his lobby to Invite Only, Friends Only, or even Close it altogether if he wants to be in complete control over who enters and exits the Party Lobby.

Emblems Do NOT Reset with Prestige

This one is pretty cut-and-dried. A frequently asked question is, “Will my kick-*** emblem I spent hours perfecting be lost when I prestige?” The answer is “NO!” Emblems are one of the only aspects of Black Ops MP that do not get a full reset upon entering Prestige. Things that will reset when you Prestige are: XP, COD Points, Challenge progressions, Loadouts, and so forth.

This is for both the PS3 and 360.

No quickscoping? Hallelujah.

It's annoying as ****, weapons all have a use, and having the ability to use the weapons outside what their use should be causes unbalance, which ruins the game.

Treyarch may well make the best CoD in a while at this rate, especially if they can eliminate the noob tube pricks that ruin MW2.

Good. Eliminates camping idiots from corners, doesn't get spammed. BFBC2 has good grenade launchers (i say that because they are used properly in that, rather than spammed by noobs, and so are not deserving of the noob tube tag.) Hopefully Black Ops won't let me down

Inevitably, as we get closer to launch date people are getting their hands on retail copies of Black Ops, and details are leaking. We won?t spoil the story (we have seen the ending) but we will tell you this? Zombie fans are going to love this one.

http://www.codblackopsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Whitehouse-Zombie-Map.jpg

One of the new Zombie Maps in Black Ops ? unlocked once you complete the campaign ? has you fighting off hordes of Zombies in a rather suprising setting? The Pentagon! Not only that, you play as John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Fidel Castro and Robert McNamara.

http://www.codblackopsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/black-ops-prez.jpg

We have had a good look at some gameplay from this Zombie map and we can assure you that it looks hella fun. We are not going to post or link to any of the videos, the screenshots will have to do? for now.

http://www.codblackopsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/White-House-Zombies.jpg

Videos will start popping up all over the place in the next few days, just like last year with Modern Warfare 2. So if you want to keep the game unspoilt you should stay away from the usual sources.

http://www.codblackopsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Zombie-Pentagon.jpg

http://www.codblackopsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Zombie-Pentagon-2.jpg

There were also some videos of gameplay up but they got taken down almost immediately.

I didn't get to see them.

Yeah sorry to dis hearten you.
But Treyarch have stated that patch 1.01 will make quickscoping harder and more than just slower ADSing.
And Patch 1.01 will be live November 9th.

Anybody here getting it on the 360?

EDIT:
Do you really think the map is going to be as boring as Nacht Der Unoten,
NDU was just a quick gamemode they pulled together for it to be fun, they didn't think it would be the greatest thing about the game.
And Zombies has done nothing but evolve greatly since than.

Theres a video of the Pentagon, looks so good. The maps look huge in this one.
Too bad you have to finish the campaign to unlock it

I find that a good thing.

It was like that in World at War for a while. It convinced me to play through the game.

Zombies mode looks cool. Online looks cool. I still know nothing about campaign, but meh. I don't care about the stories in FPS games, it's the gameplay that I care about.

I always finish the campaign in the first few days anyway, but I want to be able to play this map straight away.
There is three zombie maps at launch, Kino Der Toten is unlocked at the start. Pentagon is unlocked by playing the story mode on any difficulty, and its rumoured the last one is unlocked by finishing campaign on veteran.

EDIT:

From the videos I've seen (and I've seen every non single player video) it looks great, there is a cool new gun that pumps huge blasts of air at enemys and blows them back really far and kills them, great for clearing a room. And a sentry gun too

And elevators that bring you to different floors in the map

How do I get it to open

I hope I can complete this game on vet. I completed MW2 on vet, but I couldn't complete WaW because of excessive grenade spamming. I hope that Treyarch tweak the AI a bit more for this one.

Thats impossible, illogical, how could you possibly make quick scoping harder without making snipers worse weapons, if so than why would treyarch be so stupid as to make sniping harder for someone who may have nether even heard of quickscoping

You know how in all previous COD games if you pressed L1 you would trick the system into thinking you were scoped in so then it would send the bullet dead straight into the centre of the cross hair, well in Black Ops, if you press L1 the bullet won't go straight until you have scoped in for a few seconds 2-3.
So you have like a 10-20% chance of getting the kill if you quickscope

2-3 seconds is an over exaggeration, it will be about .7 or .8 of a second. The quickscope time is around 0.2 seconds.

I dont understand what peoples problems with quickscoping are, how does it effect any of you, its not easy to do and it gives us close range defence.
The fact is that with guns like the ump I rip the game up, it's no challenge as i've always had good accuracy on games like this, so why push me towards any automatic weapon, when I simply find it more fun to qs

Snipers typically are a support role, quickscoping gave it a chance to branch out in MW2. I often win for my team and i'd nether 360 of some roof in general (I only play S&D)
If I take a risky qs than its because there are 4 guys left on my team and if they can't all manage the last alive than I am not the one at fault.
What Black ops will do is force us all into the same rabbit hole where we'll fight over 'sniper spots' which will constantly be spammed by grenaades, and since I only play S&D I don't have much of a choice but to camp in the same old spot and get killed by the same old guy I always do

Whatever, you do know that the autoaim and the dead straight shots make it easy to quickscope right?
It takes more skill, and its better for your team if you're a good proper sniper.

You have clearly never quickscoped, or I would know this auto aim, and straight shots that you speak of, i must say that last post was incredibly bitter, someone was quickscoped as a child.
If you refer to the two hacks super steady aim, and the aimbot than thats something completely different, until the scope appears the accuracy is about as good as a no-scope, if you were more gamer savy or did qs than you would know that in these killcams that show no scope, thats because often even though we could see the scope for a fraction of a second, it is cut off in the killcam. A quickscope is nothing more than making sure you zoom in on the right part of the body and making sure you line the shot up fast. Thats why we see people fail at it.

There is no Commando, or Tac Knife, And Marathon is the same as Extreme Conditioning, and it's in the 3rd perk slot, so you either pick Marathon or Ninja, not both.

Look I quickscope all the time in private matches, I don't mind cheating in those.
But quickscoping is like a shotgun that can shoot the full way across the map.
Each weapon is meant to have its own playstyle and do different things, sniping is for longrage, Assault and LMG is medium to long. And SMGs and shotguns are for close range.

Its cheating, the only reason its so popular is because of Propaganda. Youtubers convinced people it takes skill, not telling them about exploiting the system, and the dead straight shot and auto aim, and nobody told them that it doesn't take skill until recently when Treyarch stated the obvious (and I trust them a lot more than quickscoping fanboys as they know whats happening behind the scenes.)

If you don't want to believe me fine, I'll let you live your fantasy gaming experience, and I'll leave the proper gaming to people like me.

.......FlyingIrishMan VS The World, i'll let u keep ur opinion m8 but Treyarch have said nothing on the subject rather than that it is cheap, later explaining that what they mean is they want snipers used the way they think it should be (as support), and what you call propaganda keeps many people entetained, these people dont only snipe, my bet is that your m8's beat u in these private games. Theres always likely to be people like you who complain about anything and everything

No I just complain about the obvious, if you think its me against the world go check the Black Ops forums, pretty much all the thousands of posts are against quicscoping.
And No I'm actually good quickscoping but I still want to play the game without putting myself at an unfair advantage.
And if you check JD_2020's twitter you'll see he talks about the auto aim.
And I am not gonna bother argue with you, quickscoping isn't in Black Ops so HA!

COD on the console has a slight auto aim, everyone knows this it is why your aim will slightly bend without you doing anything. when you quick scope on the consoles it exploits this slight lock on, it allows you to still kill even if they wouldn't of been in your aim. This doesn't happen on the pc version of the game since that doesn't have a lock on feature.

This is why many people myself including get annoyed at at quickscopers. should it be taken out of the game? that's not for me to decide but obviously Treyarch want to get rid of it, people should just get over it, they are the developers and it is their game.

I do notice this but I fail to see how this slight nudge of the scope would be the difference between a kill or not, it's simply just not enough to have an effect
Funny that IrishFlyingMan would mention propaganda as he as clearly been caught up by JD_2020's, ofcourse he would want people to agree with him, but all of us people who actually do it, what you would normaly consider the experts on a subject all seem to disagree, go on if u think this auto aim makes a shot than try it online.

No I won't feel differently at all. If you have 2 or three of the crosshairs on the enemy and tap L1 it will auto-aim to the enemy.
There is no other way to describe it, why can't you understand that.

Can both of you guys please stop... take it to some other board, it's really irritating...

IMO quickscoping is dumb, it's unrealistic, unfair, and took all that is good away from sniping... All of my friends "Quickscope" and they brag and brag about it, and if they see someone sniping properly, they will all start yelling "HARDSCOPER!" A good three quarters of their time is spent in private matches on Rust, having "quickscope battles"...

In short, quickscoping is real st00pid... that is all.

Also, I am so ripping up zombies as JFK, EPIC!

Now, I don't think this is Treyarch's reason to why they took out quickscoping, but a logical one would be because of those games with teammates going negative just because they are trying to get some sick montage clip. (What's funny about this is half the time people don't even record their gameplay, and so they're more trying to show off.) No one wants to have to lose because half their team is spinning around shooting their snipers randomly.

As for the release of BO, I'm really excited. I can't wait to pop on Ghost Pro, a silenced SMG, a crossbow with normal bolts (They are silent) and a camera spike, and become a super ninja

You are the one complaining, because you don't know how to be 1337 without you 'mad quickscope skills'. Snipers are a long range support weapon, and having them usable at close range through quickscoping offsets the balance of the game. You mentioned about getting caught at close range, and at that point quickscoping becoming a necessity, however that is why you have a SIDE ARM. The entire point of being able to carry your side arm, other than if you run out of ammo, is to give you the ability to either defend yourself if you need to reload, or to give you a CQB weapon if needed.

FPS' need balance, otherwise they aren't going to work. BFBC2 is pretty balanced, and it's brilliant online. Quickscoping isn't a problem, because the guns are used for the purpose they are designed. And don't say 'well the maps are too small to snipe properly, so we have to quickscope' because that's crap, if the maps are to small to snipe, don't snipe. Use a suitable weapon.

I can quickscope. I did it all the time in CoD2. But the weapons were different, and unlike WaW they were done properly so i Bolt-Action rifle killed in 1. It was balanced, and therefore it was fun. In MW2, it isn't balanced. Along with a multitude of other issues, most of which seem to be getting sorted, quickscopes caused problems. So they are gone. And i applaud Treyarch for it.

While I agree that snipers shouldn't be effective at short range with their sniper rifle, in all my time playing online I have never had a problem with quickscoping (PS3 & PC). It's stupid, yes, but it wasn't OP. Either way I don't care it's gone, I kind of agree really. I just don't agree with people saying it made snipers too poweful, as it's rarely a problem. Noobtubers, now they're a problem.

I'm glad quick scoping was cut-out, but it's also disappointing that so many players were discouraged of it.

I remember I fought a whole clan in Search and Destroy in MW2, all of them were quick scoping and being show-offs. But it was hilarious...because they were terrible shots...

It was the near end of the match, I was the last alive using a WA2000, "hard-scoping". It was the level with the three bridges in South America? Anyways, I was in the small shack near the radio tower, when about 8 quick-snipers all were investigating right outside of it...I walked right out, and in panic, killed about one guy, but it was hilarious, because it took them about 8 seconds to kill me, and I was about 1-20 feet away from all of them, in plain sight, with no cover...

With the customization, wager matches, currency system, video editor, co-op and more Treyarch is looking to make this the most robust, addictive and enjoyable FPS experience of all time (and they just might succeed). I have had my copy reserved for months, looking forward to next week. I spent 100+ hours with MW and only 30 with MW2. I can easily see myself spending 100+ on Black Ops! Oh, and the single player is looking great too (see JFK in the new trailer?)

While i still don't think this will top BFBC2 (GotY in my opinion) it looks better all the time. I've praised Treyarch for a while for their map design in CoD3, but WaW was poor. 14 maps will be awesome if they are like the CoD3 maps, rather than the generic CoD MW corridor > corridor > open square > corridor style.

I said it before, this game, for me, will live or die on the map design. If they get a good 10 or so maps, i can live with a few crap ones, but not the other way around.

Maybe so, but it just looks like the most annoying and cheap killstreak in the game.

Otherwise, the rest is looking rather good. I'm very impressed (bar the above point) and the gun game mode looks way too fun.
They explode automatically after a set time, everyone in the game is told when one is activated, they are really loud, and jammers can make them harder to control and see with. So it's not really that cheap as long as you can have ONE bullet hit it.

They suck in Black Ops, they only attack you if you shoot. So lame.

I think Treyarch took the fun out of calling in dogs the minute they mentioned that. :/

Then again... does it really matter? Everybody's going to be shooting. I only see this as a problem for SnD, which makes no sense because isn't that the dog's first mission? To search and destroy your target for you?

You must be happy that they took out the infinite ammo bag a.k.a One Man Army.

Yes but how may times are you going to get an 11 kill streak in SnD

Using only your gun and not killstreaks.
Heck even in Domination its gonna be hard to get dogs.

Nah they will be easy enough to get, just in SnD you would essentially need 2 aces.

I'm just glad that they still attack you even if you shoot with a suppressed weapon.

And yes I'm happy they took out OMA, Danger Close, and Commando. Best decision ever.

But seeing as Killstreaks don't count it will be harder to get Dogs.
I'm also happy it won't be as much of a killstreak fest like MW2.

Tell me about it! I had terrible experiences where every game would have at least 3 enemy chopper gunners, felt like it only required 5 kills to get one!

But, in other hand, I turned the table on another game after getting Chopper Gunner in a crate!

Oh yeah, that reminds me of another thing I love what they did: removing the ability to get killstreaks in Care Packages (or so I believe).

I never liked the idea of a player who can sucks in playing multiplayer but still get a Chopper Gunner simply because a) he killed 3-4 people and/or b) stole somebody else's Care Package. I seriously hated those things. Not only that, but the physics to them was really messed up. Normally, a box will either bend a fence or bounce off it, maybe both. But seeing that sthupid box fly over 20 feet and kill some random person who just happens to walk by ticks me off. Last time some kid on SnD had a Care Package and he used it near our spawn point. When the other team planted the bomb, I came running back to help defuse it... only to be randomly killed by his Care Package. It bounced off a lamp post and skidded like about a block towards me.

You can still get killstreaks in care packages, but it's not luck of the draw like in MW2, there are actually odds in Black Ops... Like it would be extremely rare to get dogs in a care package. ( Heh, that sounded funny... Dogs.. in an airdrop... funny... *cough)
