So I know there's was already a thread about this but I stopped looking for it after 5 pages...

But anyways, this will hopefully be the official Black Ops thread. Talk about it, discuss it, etc. Obviously, the game isn't out yet, but w/e. (That was a ****load of commas)

Current info:

(From http://callofduty.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=242924&sid=07dcfa6c2e3318f87fb25c9011a609ca)


1) You only get two perks in mutliplayer, and this combination of perks determines your third perk.
2) There is a new armour system, e.g. Cold-Blooded and juggernaut are armours you can wear (not much detail given on this).
3) The FAMAS returns, but is no longer a 3-round burst weapon. Instead it is full-auto.
4) There is no M4. Instead another new gun mentioned seems like it will take its place, the SIG Commando.
5) Other new weapons confirmed include the RPK, Skorpion and MAC11.
6) There is no commando perk. (:])
7) The scavenger perk is included, but no longer replenishes equipment.
8) The One man army perk is also not included.
9) The highest killstreak reward (at this time in devlelopment) is 15.
10) There is no emergency airdrop, but there is a care package.
11) As confirmed before, killstreaks will not stack. For instance, if you get a 5 kills without dying and receive your killstreak reward, the kills you get with that killstreak reward will not count towards your next killsreak (e.g. 7 kill killsteak). You will have to get two more kills, in that instance, by other means to receive your next killstreak.
12) You can sprint to prone in the current build of the game. Basically this means you can dive straight on your belly after sprinting, instead of having to stop, crouch and than go prone.
13) The tactical knife is gone, while a new knife is being introduced: the ballistic knife. This is a knife that has a spring that can shoot a blade (in real life, not necessarily in the game).
14) The claymore is a piece of equipment, and you only get 1 per life.
15) Grenades are not considered equipment, and replenished by scavenger.
16) The M16 is in the game, and still a powerful weapon. (Or as Woody puts it, still the ****!)
17) The PSG1 sniper rifle is in the game.
18) UAV, airstrike and 3 types of helicopters are back as killstreaks. The Pave Low is confirmed as well, and has a feature unique to the game.
19) The SR-71 plane is also one of the killstreak rewards.

I also hope they upgrade prestiging. It's not really that exciting to start all over with just one new class. Maybe perk pro's are unlocked straight after the perk is, and the same camo's or some attatchments (though the attatchments won't be necessary as they're fairly cheap and no longer done throughout challenges).


i totally agree with you, they should try and make prestiging more attractive, i mean a new class is barely a reason to prestige. when i prestige i would like a better reason then just a new class when if im honest i mostly use the same class.

Same! I only use 3 classes, maximum. One is a ninja class for messing around in S&D with. Another is a riot shield class with C4 for messing around in S&D with and the other is a sniper class I use for QS NS matches! :O
I don't even need to prestige for anything, I need a better incentive

Perhaps in Black Ops they unlock different stuff if you prestige like:
1st: Facepaints + 20% exp bonus
2nd: Decals and gun decoration stuff + 20% money bonus
3rd: More Facepaints + 50% exp bonus
4th: More Decals and gun decoration stuff + 50% money bonus
5th: Several new Titles and Emblems + 100% both bonus

Those are the first 5 and could probably be spread out even more. However I am concerned with no.5 as some challenges may have been completed previously, just not recorded, which is pretty apauling to be honest.
Because I was not creative enough to get 5 more prestige rank awards, the % bonuses won't be accurate if they put in 2.

Something along these lines, but I do not want it where it affects actual gameplay, only appearances. Which reminds me:
6th: Perk 1 appearances opened up
7th: Perk 2 appearances opened up
8th: Perk 3 appearances opened up
May help lol.
It may be necessary to make the 9th and 10th add the final facepaints and decals, if they are so widely customizable, which I damn well hope so!

I wanna put a smiley on my grenade, Battlefield style! :P

I need black ops. Wager matches are the best. I can't wait for that one called sticks and stones. AWESOME!

"Let me try that again. Sleight of Hand Pro does not work with any sniper class weapon."

YES! YES! YEAAAAAAH!
I'm tired of being quick scoped by Optic wannabe's. And, INCREDIBLY tired of being killed by Bolt Action controller mods. They are simply cheap. Unload a whole mag on me, I still don't die. Reload, and unload another mag on me, and I FINALLY die.

Thats not true, I use private match for a lot of things. If you went into Private Match, and tried to play a match with your bud. And suddenly a message pops up saying "Sorry, no knifing, Riot Shields, or Air Support is permitted. Only Intervention is."
That wouldn't be much fun would it?

There will still be quickscoping in Black Ops... And quickscoping is really, really fun (anyone with a ps3 who wants to 1v1 me leave a comment) but yeah, it gets annoying to me for some reason that I can quickscope someone literally across Highrise in one shot (I've done it before), and all of the people who try and quickscope me can't even kill me after shooting me 5 times.

You do realize that the point of prestiging is basically to sacrifice everything for the chance to do it again, right?

That's called a sniper lobby. I've never played in one but from what I've heard, they're lots of fun. I only do 1v1s though, but if I had the chance to play in a sniper lobby I definitely would, because this game is basically dead.

From what I'm told (but never experienced), Treyarch hates QS and NS theme sniping styles, correct?
If yes, then damage and possibly noscope damage will be lowered. Quickscoping will probably be useless too.

However I do enjoy QS NS matches a lot, but since I haven't played in a while I'll be rusty :P

Of course, but for the majority of people I feel they want a greater incentive to do it, one new class and a few titles and emblems isn't enough - especially when you start over. If they unlocked completely new features it would be great, however I don't want it to be actual gameplay and only appearance settings so people whom don't want to prestige simply won't have to. But they will look lame

And it'll be great if you buy camo's lol. I don't like the ranking of camos, becuase I prefer woodland over fall, but <3 blue / red tiger.
