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)

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 thought Treyarch/Josh Olin was doing an incredible job taking suggestions from the community and putting them into the game. Then he tweeted about how they were going to make quickscoping difficult because it's "overpowered" JD doesn't know what he's talking about?
A ranged weapon that takes half a second to scope in and thus instantly kill the enemy across any distance. Uhuh, very balanced.
But it's harder to actually quickscope somebody cross map than to hardscope them. Plus, if you have a sniper rifle and you're only quickscoping and you get in a gun fight with someone with an M16, who do you think has the advantage? The guy with the bolt action sniper rifle, or the person who has the assault rifle that can kill in less than 2 seconds?
has anyone seen the zombies trailer (dunno if there nazis) it looks fake if your asking me. in the pentagon playing people such as JFK and Nixon. surely this must be fake. but theres one thing that makes me think that its real, activision took it down from youtube and, correct me if im wrong but they wouldnt do that if it wasnt real. also its halloween so they might of purposely let it be released for obvious reasons

Actually in my position, nope. I'm nearly hotwired to Quickscope now. Hardscoping holds a different feel and hit registration goes against me on those terms.
I am accurate enough however, to do a Quickscope across the map. Well, I would've been able to buy I'm rusty now.

That's my point. Someone turns around the corner with the Intervention and someone starts shooting at them with their M16, they quickscope immediately and kill the person as soon as the bullet hits (instantly). Advantage much?
The guy with the bolt action sniper rifle, or the person who has the assault rifle that can kill in less than 2 seconds?
Someone who is at least average at Quickscoping will easily beat an average player with an M16. Why? Because Quickscoping standards are inexplicibly higher whilst 'regular' players are pretty terrible in all aspects of the game.
High damage/Low Recoil AR's> Quickscoping
Depending on the situation and players. This can also go vice versa
