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 hate when people play Domination and my team doesn't cap any flags. It's an objective based game for a reason. But last night on WMD, some guy on the other team went 62-6 and he had 1 capture (probably at the beginning of the game) and 0 defends. Also last night my team had only 2 captures in total. You know who had both of them? Me. I would've gone for more but the other team was try-harding and I kept getting killed because I was the only one capturing the flags.
Bottom line: If you want to play TDM, play TDM in TDM, not in Domination
i hate that on MW2 (not really on topic with black ops but my bro won't let me use his COD points to make my own class) when i play CTF or Domination it's either i do all the work while they CFK (Camp For Kills) or i don't try either because i think they will nad we lose 10-0
New patch, coming out on the sixth. http://www.callofduty.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=313362&sid=ustlrr0lh758u2m6jesdvr1cf7
Issues Addressed: * ⢠Resolved several issues with parties getting disbanded unexpectedly. * ⢠Updated handling for UPnP-enabled routers to improve matchmaking conditions where users had strict or moderate NAT types. Also added in-game communications so that all players are aware of their NAT type in the Player Match party lobby. * ⢠Addressed issue that prevented the âLoad MP by Defaultâ option from saving when other specific option combinations were set. * ⢠Prevention of exploit that allowed players to keep custom classes and killstreaks after prestige. * ⢠Addressed an issue where Flak Jacket Pro would not always protect against ground fires left by Napalm Strikes. * ⢠Prevention of users losing their killstreak reward when switching classes at the start of a new round in round-based game modes. * ⢠Addressed an issue where the incorrect perks would appear when spectating another player under certain circumstances. * ⢠Added round start explosive delay to China Lake grenade launcher to give it the same round start limitations as other explosives. * ⢠Contracts will now reset when the player Prestiges. * ⢠Prevention of Valkyrie rocket exploding upon release under rare conditions. * ⢠Prevention of Gunship failing to give player full control under rare conditions. * ⢠Prevention of an issue where a player will get teleported outside the map boundaries under very specific circumstances. * ⢠Additional security measures to enhance detection and banning capabilities.
Gameplay Tuning: * ⢠Limit the ability to re-roll supply drops using Hardline Pro to Care Packages only, no other killstreak drops. * ⢠Added a negative influencer to all spawn points to decrease the chances of spawning near an enemy. This will further improve spawning protection on top of previous updates. * ⢠Additional sound mix tuning for Ninja Pro users â" increased ranges and volume of enemy footsteps, and removed player footstep sounds on concrete material types. * ⢠Increased headshot multipliers for sniper rifles. Sniper rifles with suppressors equipped will now always be ensured one-shot kill headshots. * ⢠Subtle increase in sniper rifle accuracy when scoping in. * ⢠Added a render delay to the red diamond player indicators that appear when controlling the Gunship, Valkyrie Rocket and Chopper Gunner. When a player first spawns, this will not appear for a period of time. * ⢠Additional minor reductions in knife lunge.
That's pretty incredible. The game's been out for almost a month and Treyarch is addressing many problems with the game. The only things I can remember IW patching were the Models, the Care Package glitch, and the care package glitch when you have the marker in your hand and you're running faster than Usain Bolt. Anything else significant that they patched? Then they didn't patch OMA Danger Close Grenade Launchers like they promised, the rock glitch, and they didn't even address overpowered weapons such as the FAMAS, UMP, or Scar. I <3 Treyarch. And:
Subtle increase in sniper rifle accuracy when scoping in.
Finally, what I've been waiting for. It probably won't be back to normal, but I'm glad they're addressing it. In my opinion, the devs over at Treyarch saw MW2 SoH Pro quick scoping and they immediately thought QSing was overpowered because of countless amounts of people doing it.
In conclusion, if the gaming industry was a news crew: Infinity Ward - Brick Tamland Treyarch - Ron Burgundy DICE - Champ Kind Blizzard - Brian Fantana (Watch Anchorman to understand that reference)
Also last night my team had only 2 captures in total. You know who had both of them? Me. I would've gone for more but the other team was try-harding and I kept getting killed because I was the only one capturing the flags.
One theres nothing stopping you killing people as you capture and Two try harding doesnt mean just going for kills it means constantly trying your hardest and not playing for fun
I only play zombies but im still waiting for the new map packs to come so now im playing bad company 2 insted. I don't like the multiplayer that much on black ops. I get so frustrated when some random newb kills me with a Rc car!
One theres nothing stopping you killing people as you capture and
Ok, I'll be honest now. I quit out halfway into the game because I kept getting killed by the enemy team and because my team wasn't playing the objective. Of course I can kill one person when I'm trying to capture their flag, but it's difficult when more than one person is shooting at you, and it was on Firing Range at C. Also, the enemy got a Huey as well, and I tried shooting it down but I kept getting killed before I could switch to my launcher.

Don't compare Blizzard to a news crew. Blizzard don't bring the good news, they are the good news.

Many people don't understand that you can do both at once.
In my opinion black ops is a fun game. When the game first came out i feel like i overplayed it because now i dont enjoy the game as much... My favorite weapons are the Ak-74u, Commando, AK47, L96A1, and the Galil. My win loss is around 2.0 and my kill death ratio is like 1.93 (and rising!) If anyone has a legit black ops clan and youre recruiting, message me on xbox live my gamertags lynkunjoe725. My favorite thing about Black Ops is playing wager match, humiliating someone and then hearing them scream at the top of their lungs
Anchorman. It's a very funny movie and I'd recommend it to everybody who's reading this right now. It's kinda dumb though. Lol
Back on topic:
humiliating someone and then hearing them scream at the top of their lungs
I hate when that happens to me. Like one time I was playing Sticks and Stones on Summit, it was within the first few days the game came out, and I had a large lead and then I got tomahawked from across the map (watched the killcam). If I had a microphone, everyone in that lobby would've gone deaf.
i have now started doing random mission on veteran and it really hard i have started the last one and falled just before you met up with your team and go under water it really hard but i have done about 4 but now and 4/3 of another
