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.
MP reveal tonight... 6pm EST I believe. In spirit of that, a new article! It's virtual though. It's on pages 42-43.
In article stuff:
-flamethrower attachment (probably as useless as shotgun attachment?)
-some sort of "currency" is in MP. Used to unlock weapons, uniforms, etc.
-new game mode- "wager match" You gamble on winning with your earned currency This game mode also includes 4 mini-games: + One in the chamber- You get one bullet per life. Kill your enemy to pick up his bullet. +Sharpshooter- Randomly generated weapons +Sticks and stones- Equipped with 3 basic weapons; Tomahawk, crossbow, ballistic knife. +Gun game- First to get 20 kills, each with a unique weapon
And new map info: + Radiation (abandoned power station) + Launch (one with the rocket; the rocket fires during the match, frying anyone underneath) + Summit (snowy mountain top)
-Theatre mode will save EVERY SINGLE GAME that you play. You can revisit and game you want, at any time.
live gameplay: http://www.youtube.com/user/shaun0728#p/u/6/fqwLMzYcFV8
And overall stuff i've seen from various sites:
-"Contracts"; Challenges from Treyarch themselves, which you can chooose to complete. You have to spend you Cod Points to enter, but you get 3-5 times that amount upon completion.
Hardened (bullet penetration) Scout (hold breath longer) Steady Aim sleight of Hand Warlord (bling)
Third Perk Slot:
-Marathon (more like extreme conditioning) -Ninja -Second Chance -Hacker (sitrep) (pro version lets you hack enemy stuff, and make friendly) -Tactical Mask (flashbang/teargas resistant)
No Juggernaut, Stopping Power, One Man Army, Commando, and Danger Close.
What really effin pisses me off is that this game is going to be EXACTLY LIKE MW2. And don't tell me, "No, it's not, it has new equipment and changes!" Load of bullcrap. Look at Modern Warfare 1. Look at Modern Warfare 2. Same perks, similar guns, same gameplay. The series hasn't changed since CoD 2, and that was the change that screwed up the series. I want a decent single-player for once, not the dog turd MW2 offered. There are still going to be hackers, there are still going to be glitchers. Why bother?
I really hope they have dedicated servers. I hate the whole host system. I have no idea if those 2 things are connected, but host migration is really annoying. Also If there's no host, it'll be good for 1v1's as well because whoever is host wins most of the time.
I either sounded like I knew what I was talking about, or I just sounded like an idiot.

It's got dedicated servers and is being made by Treyarch, that's all I ask.
I'm quietly anticipating wager matches. Looks like a really interesting new concept to the gameplay, and it adds an element of risk. Everyone's bound to the same rules and conditions and it's simply a display of talent as opposed to who's got the bigger machine gun.
they might bring back nazi zombies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [b]
Wow! Thanks for the information man! It's not like I didn't know before!
Also, it's impossible to make it Nazi Zombies, since there were no Nazis in the Cold War. The Third Reich fell shortly after WWII. If anything, it would be Communist zombies.
