Still waiting for barebones! If they announce that then I'm buying.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Some info from UK games magazine:

• Create a tag and etch it into your weapons.
• Can customize your sights and clips too.
• An addition to multiplayer is currency, which you then use to buy new weapons, uniforms, and accessories.
• New mode called Wager Match chooses a random mode from One in the Chamber, Sharpshooter, Sticks and Stones, and Gun Game. You wager your own currency.
• One in the Chamber - You have one bullet and a knife, and every kill you get gives you another bullet.
• Sharpshooter - You are given a random weapon, so you either get a overpowered, or underpowered weapon.
• Sticks and Stones - You have a Crossbow, Ballistic Knife, and Tomahawk. Crossbow and Ballistic Knife kills give you points, Tomahawk kills don't.
• Gun Game - You start off with a bad weapon, but every kill upgrades your weapon. The first to reach the 20'th gun wins.
• Points such as headshots, and other bonuses are added to the team score in TDM.
• They played 3 maps - Radiation (set in a power station), Summit (snowbound mountain base), Launch (missile base - the rocket will lift off during gameplay, and fry anyone underneath).

I knew about the clan tag etching when I saw it in the trailer.

It seems they're trying to make this like Halo with all of these game modes. Interesting.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Those game modes actually sound fun to me.

Ok, I'm interested. One in the Chamber sounds too awesome.

Yup.

I won't pay for it, but with my b-day right around when this comes out and Christmas, I'll probably be getting this one now.

Sticks and Stones and One in the Chamber both sound fun.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Seems a little late at this point anyways, but it doesn't sound like there will be a beta.

Activision’s just told VG247 a rumour from earlier that Call of Duty: Black Ops was going to get a multiplayer beta is “completely false”.

Well that's a fail on their part. IMO nothing but good can come of a beta.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Intriguing. I applaud Treyarch for trying to spice things up and add new things to the game instead of just recycling all the multiplayer modes from WaW & Modern Warfare.

Yup. Bungie got a LOT of good feedback from the Reach beta and fixed a lot of the standard problems that would've easily shipped with the game and been exploited.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

yea a Beta will expose that first month's worth of glitches and grief that we all we experience now without it.

I mean we will still have crap but it will be worse than if they did a beta.


I'll be fine with reach until spring anyway which by then CoD BO will have the major bugs worked out.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

These new game modes sound excellent because honestly the basic deathmatches and capture the flag games were getting stale. I will definitely be picking this up. This might replace Red Dead Redemption and Gears of War 2 multiplayer for me.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Did Treyarch not learn from MW2? They should've dropped a beta.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Odds on being able to pay real money for in-game currency to upgrade your character?

Combat Training has different rank progression than actual multiplayer

Teanah:
this mode is interesting...you can play with other people (of your choice). serves like multi but without the annoying kids.

1upliveblog:
This new mode was introduced because a lot of players don't even go online. Kinda like what **** has said about Gears

This sounds interesting.
