COD Black Ops - Brand new vids, news, trailers and info!

[Liberaliter]

It looks... like the the usual yearly Call of Duty. To be honest I'm not excited, but I'm not a fan of the series.

 

[sooperman]

Looks pretty good and refined. But regarding the killstreak video, can any one give me info on the killstreaks it doesn't scroll over?

Honestly, no, but I'm gunna try anyway.

Rolling Thunder - From what I gather, this is an air strike. Lots of planes for this one.
Chopper Gunner - Top-down view of the map controlling a minigun. Moves slower than it did in MW2.
Attack Dogs - A pack of attack dogs kill your enemies. It's the same as it was in WaW.
Gunship - Either an AC130 or something akin to a Pavelow.

I'm probably wrong, but that's what I figure.

The balistic knife? A knife fired like a gun. A KNIFE THAT HAS A RANGE LONGER THAN COMMANDO. The world has truely ended.

It's a secondary weapon, relax

So were akimbo 1887's, so I don't know how that fact is going to be of any importance to it's balance.

Also, I swear, the Attack Dogs are going to make a lot of people rage. Didn't they already in WaW?

 

[cke]

it has a hend-held minigun...

IM buying it cause im a zombie

A Nazi Zombie? Really looking forward to that mode returning. Hopefully with more maps available from the getgo and dedicated Zombie map packs. I'd have bought the Zombie maps for WaW separately but I had no interest in the rest of the multiplayer maps.

And the ability to leave the gdam building, or fenced area... Put zombie mode in a full sized map and let the fun ensue.

 

[Malyc]

Most of MW2 is balanced, you just need the correct set up and a bit of luck, Harrier getting you down? predator its ass, its the fastest way to kill it.

Attack chopper?, you best have a class with a Javelin already set up before the match!

AC130?, RUN AWAY RUN AWAY!, *cry in the corner of the map*

AC130 with Danger Close Pro... *rage quit*

Thats what the highly effective counter maneuver of "hiding and sucking your thumb for a minute and perhaps hugging a comforting blanket" was designed for, that fucking noise that plane makes, *shivers*.

Bang... SHEEEUUUUMMMMM BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

 

[Malyc]

Second chance is back... NOOOOOOOOOOO

Whats second chance?, I know last stand is when your down but not out, which is irritating when you've taken out someone who can use the 1887's like a surgical tool from half way across the map.

It's the same as in WAW, you go into Last Stand with your pistol and if someone else has the same perk they can revive you.

It's going to make me rage.

So we're going to find groups of 2 or 3's relatively close to each other for revives?

Never played WAW, I've only played MW2, which doesn't induce rage since its easy, although I don't understand why the P90 suddenly becomes shit when its akimbo, one P90 firing from the hip is fine but two?, turns to shit.

And last stand is like saying "fuck you i'm not dead, *SPLAT*"

Nah man, last stand is saying "See me, im still standing. I might be bleeding, but im still breathing."

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

As much as I love MW2... this looks so much better than the MP of the former, that it might just be the best game ever, even if it's single player doesn't match the one in MW2.

I mean, such attention to your fans should be rewarded.

They seem to have pushed the boat out a little. I like that. Is everything going to be about wager matches and currency etc though? Or is there going to be a conventional leveling system?

 

[Thoric485]

Meh, i don't have a problem with the perks, killstreaks, weapons etc in MW2. I can live with that. (btw AC 130 goes down easily with a stinger, marathon and cold blooded pro) But the lag, combined with the huge hitboxes is what kills the game for me. To be honest it would be better off with a good ol' health pack system. What's the point of regen when the second your mind is graced by the tought of cover there's already a phantom bullet flying your way, killing you by going through the air 2 feet behind you.

There will be a leveling system. Certain weapons and perks cannot be bought before a certain level. 50 Ranks plus prestige

 

[Rednog]

Man I cannot wait, it looks like being a runner/knifer is going to be even easier, being able to shoot knives (more than 1 even) and thrower tomahawks, yes please! That and being able to throw yourself to get around a corner and away is a god send, I cannot tell you how many times I thought I sprinted around a corner to get away from fire and a single bullet went through the wall to finish me off, this will help tons.

Also the whole start with 1 type of gun each kill means you get a new type of gun was back in counterstrike.

NO! make the bad man go away!

Spoiler

Nah man, last stand is saying "See me, im still standing. I might be bleeding, but im still breathing."

I assume you use last man standing, I normally hit the melee button just in case, same if my radar gets jammed... melee button gets abused because I know if my opponent is near me, he's dead regardless of where he is.

I know its cheap but I have commando because I have a tendency to jump out of windows in games and MW2 punishes you for trying to be a parkouring bad ass, its also good against campers and people with scrambler I think you english call it.

Wow the developers are assholes, I honestly want to give them pain.

Meh I haven't seen much to complain about yet.

Your avatar goes almost too well with your post.

But seriously, BlOps has Zombie mode. Rock on.

 

[IamQ]

I was absolutely nót looking forward to this game. At all. Thanks to MW2 of course.

Now however, I ám pretty damn excited despite the Ballistic Knife. Gun Game? FUCK. YES!

One of the things I like the most are the sound effects. In MW2 all weapons sounded like they came from a tin can. Now they actually sound pretty good. Not as thundering as Bad Company 2, but still.

Why did you type "o" and "a" in such a way?

It's not the game, it's what they're talking : "Nothing is better than taking someone's money" and "griefing others"

What assholes!
