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.

Or only allow friends to talk to eachother OR, have Mute All on automatically but instead you choose whom you allow to listen to (basically a reversal of how MW2 voice chat worked).

What they also need is to tune down the volume if someone is screaming, so the volume is lowered to talking level (or whispering escalates to talking level) and base is also reduced.

They should also give a benefit for chatting more, no one ever chats except for accusing people of cheating which is exceptionally annoying, as you could imagine.
Maybe have people who use the words hacker, cheater etc or variants thereof disabled in terms of communication for a while?
PLEASE?!

You can already do that in Xbox privacy settings.

How can you decide you want to listen to if you can't hear them in the first place?

Eh... almost everybody who plays Xbox accuses people of hacking/moding/cheating/ etc. Yes, even I use those words. Therefore, banning you from the game for saying a word would drive people away from the game. Besides, I don't even think Black Ops can do that.

I'm talking about PC.
PC has the capability, implement it ! :O

As previously mentioned, chatting with text and not with voice chat. It's the main thing that happens with people who wanna talk, anyway.

No, not banning you. Just temporarily disabling any way of communicating (voice chat or text).
I don't expect anything to happen with this, because from what I've seen with the makers is that they seem kind of childish themselves. This is one of the reasons I don't have any hope for them nipping the budd and shutting out all annoying kids in one way or another.

Depends what you mean by early.
If you preorder it, you should get it before anyone else who didn't. Though knowing how some of them would wait overnight for it given the chance, doubtful.

Same with World of WarCraft.

Still, Black Ops is a social game. It's all about multi-player. Taking away chat/ etc. would be a VERY bad decision.

Read the comment I replied too :/

Eh... not the best idea. How can you talk to people while your in a game? A chatbox? Even if you use a chatbox, people could still spam.

A game doesn't set it's own limitations, the programmers do. Voice cancellation after recording a certain number of decibels or high frequency sounds is quite feasible, it just depends whether the developers want to start bringing that idea to life.

Personally, I've never had these problems on PC as most people use third party applications for VOIP instead of the game (normally because the sound quality over a game is rubbish), so you don't hear most people's conversations. On the consoles I could see it being a bit of a problem, but surely you can cope ten minutes? It would be quite a bit of development for very little gain.

Have you never seen people talk with a keyboard? There's not a chatbox per se, you just press the talk button, type in your message and hit return, much like MSN besides the fact the bit where you write your message isn't permanently occupying a portion of your screen.

There was something else I was going to say. I hate memory problems. :S

What? :P

For ANTI-social people, it wouldn't be
Also, Black Ops is not social by any stretch. It's blatantly obvious as it isn't an MMO (it mays well be tbh) and the fanbase is full of anti-social retards who can't type something properly because they're lazy and proud of it.

Eh... not the best idea. How can you talk to people while your in a game? A chatbox? Even if you use a chatbox, people could still spam.

Looking at the console allows the chat to be seen. Not a problem.
Also, anti-spam system as well.
