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.
-Local Matchmaking is in-game (so no more cross-atlantic players hopefully)
And about zombies: (READ) There has yet to be a full-confirmed zombies mode. Hoever, when josh olin (community manager) was asked if the co-op mode was "zombie-like" Josh replied with "a little closer to that" Plus, the hardened edition comes with the 4 original zombies maps so...
Plus a nice interview: http://dualshockers.com/2010/08/17/call-of-duty-black-ops-preview-interview-with-josh-jd_2020-olin/
Points made from interview -Different faction AI will act differently. -Security enforcement against mods has been stepped up. So things like j-tags and stuff shouldn't work. They also have security in place so if something does happen, they can stop it. -Dynamic lighting has been re-done.
I'm getting a little overexcited with this game. Every time I play Modern Warfare 2 and get dropshotted by a UMP or sniped by a SPAS it makes the thought of Black Ops seem so much better (I hate you OpTic Nation and your amazing snipers like Dtreats, Predator, and Jambi on the PS3, always making me give MW2 a second chance). That worries me, because for all we know, this game could be terrible. I mean, I saw some frustrating things in the trailer, like the ballistic knife. But, like I did with MW2, I'm going to go to BJ's (where I get it like 5 dollars off lol) and hope for the best.
You're right... I do complain a lot. But I feel like it COULD be a problem. I won't worry about it yet though. And I hope the knife becomes a secondary weapon overall too, it would be more fair.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, I don't really like how people are complaining about how the RC car might be OP. If you saw in the trailer, when it exploded, it didn't kill anybody, so if anything, it's probably going to be underpowered. Treyarch's not dumb enough to put a car that has a huge radius and does a crapload of damage as a 3 killstreak reward.
Hopefully they'll get them right again. In WaW, the Noobtube was annoying, but it was actually kinda garbage compared to the amazing Mw2 and CoD4 noob tubes. They were also the last attachment and you weren't allowed to shoot them the first 10 seconds of the match.
I think towards the end of WaW, everyone was either using the NoobTube or the MP40. I was on the MP40 side since I was the biggest tryhard ever back in the day, but anyway towards the end I kept getting Noobtubed which was really frustrating. But I miss the Noob Tubes from WaW...
its good for Search
It's not just good for Search, it's great for Search.
i'm guessing there won't be any tactical nukes in this game which i'm happy about. This will decrease the amount of boosters there are now. I am also excited about the ballistic knife.
