Call Of Duty: Black Ops
Surprising enough there isn't a thread for this game…especially since it comes out in 12 hours.
Who is getting this game? What system? Midnight Release? Day Of release? Christmas?
So far the game is looking pretty good...lovin' the Zombie maps...hope this makes MW2 look like baby crap on a hot summer day in the boiler room...
Here is a comprehensive list of information about Black Ops.
CAREFUL - **MAY BE SPOILERS AHEAD!!
The Following Information has been taken from** this thread at CallOfDuty.com
[hide]WARNING POSSIBLE SPOILERS INSIDE (ACHIEVEMENTS LIST BELOW)
I have been on these boards for just around a month now and I am constantly seeing the same questions and comments come up, and since I have a little bit of time I am going to compile a short list for this board. You can think of this list as sort of a FAQ or just a comprehensive list of pretty much everything that we know as of current. My intentions are to keep the list up to date, so when new info comes in I will be able to add it. All that I ask is for your guys feed back, give it a bump every now and again if you see it go back a page or two, and also if you see new stuff or reveals to add sources when available if not on the list. I am going to try to get this stickied by staff if possible.
I also want to say that I do not take credit for the information as I am porting it from one forum to the next.
UPDATED/RECENTLY ADDED INFORMATION
-Level cap is 50, Treyarch commented that getting to level 50 would be comparable in time as getting to 65 on WaW.
-The co-op mode has not been revealed as of yet, zombies have not been confirmed nor denied.
-Combat Training has it's own seperate rank and currency system seperate from the online multiplayer.
-There is a grid layout on the map now for quicker and more efficient team conversation.
-Outside of the gunship helicopter there will be no other controllable vehicles.

-It has been confirmed that map selection has changed in that instead of voting to skip maps there are 2 maps selected and voted on.

-War will not make a return in Black Ops, David Vonderhaar commented that unfortunately War was cut because it didn't play right for the Black Ops engine, it was only meant for larger maps, and it is the most complex and hardest game mode to set up due to design, script, map requirements, and more.
-Treyarch has confirmed that modding for consoles will be close to impossible. This could mean their interface has undergone a major overhaul.
-Black Ops developers can not only check leaderboards to ban hackers, but they can also check films for reported players, basically like checking clips in theater mode. If a player is reported and reviewed, developers can see if that player is cheating in any form.

-Sub-machine guns in Black Ops will feature full-maneuverability speed while running and/or aiming down sights.

This can work both with and against you, but it's interesting to see this change in the franchise.

-Flak jacket has been confirmed to survive every type of explosive attack except for being stuck, or being hit with the crossbows explosive dart.

-David Vonderhaar confirmed via twitter that the max prestige level is not 10. We have seen that there are atleast 14 prestige levels, but no exact number has been given.
-It has been confirmed that atleast one zombie map will be available from the get go, it is unclear at this time how many will be available however.
-Party chat is now open for most game modes, it will however remain off in game modes such as search and destroy where it could be exploited.

-After prestiging, it has been confirmed that you will lose any accumulated XP or cP.
-It has been confirmed that pro perks have to be unlocked by doing certain challenges for each perk as well as being purchased once unlocked. This leaves it up to the discretion of the player as to unlock the pro perk or not.

FAQ SECTION
Q: Will there be/Is there a beta?
A: No, unfortunately there will be no public beta. Treyarch has confirmed that they are only doing an internal beta for Activision/Treyarch employees and guests, and this beta is now over as the game is ready for release on the 9th.
Q: Can I buy any gun off the bat, so long as I have the COD points to purchase it?
A: No, you still have to obtain a certain level to unlock certain weapons, except now if it is a weapon you do not like you can save your points and skip over it and use the points to unlock other things you may want.
Q: Is there going to be nazi zombies or some other kind of zombies?
A: It has been confirmed that zombies will be returning in black ops.
Q: Can I play online with a friend using the same xbox?
A: Yes, Treyarch has confirmed that splitscreen mode is now available for online play
Q: Will there be quickscoping in the new BOps?
A: At this time it is unknown as it has been confirmed that Treyarch will be actively trying to nerf the ability to quickscope. The effects have yet to be seen of this change.
Q: I see that tactical insertion is back, does that mean that boosting in FFA will continue?
A: No, Treyarch commented that you will not be able to use the tactical insert while in FFA.
Q: I'm not sure I want to play this game online because the M203 is back, has it been balanced?
A: From the way that we have been hearing it, yes the M203 has been balanced. You can no longer use scavenger to replenish ammo, it is the most expensive attachment, and Warlord/Bling cannot be used with the M203.
Q: When you buy something, do you keep it forever or do you have to keep buying for every class and every time you want to equip it?
A: When you purchase something weapon related or perk related they are now open for all classes to use, however weapon accessories are weapon specific so if you buy a red dot sight with custom reticle you must buy that for every weapon that you want it on.
Q: I heard that War is not going to return in Black Ops, why is this?
A: Unfortunately no, war is not returning. David Vonderhaar commented that the overly complex game mode will not be making a return because during testing they didn't feel that it worked for the new game. He also stated that it was the most complex game mode they have ever done and was only meant for large maps.
Q: I heard there were a few of the more common perks cut from the game, which ones were cut?
A: Stopping Power, Commando, Juggernaut, and One Man Army have been confirmed to NOT be making a return in Black Ops.
Q: I really liked to quickscope in MW2, and Sleight of Hand pro greatly assisted it, will this be returning?
A: Unfortunately David Vonderhaar confirmed via twitter that SOH pro will not affect sniper rifles.

-
Sticks and Stones: Everyone spawns with a Crossbow, Ballistic Knife and Tomahawk. The catch in this gametype is if you are hit by a Tomahawk, you are bankrupted. UAV will be on constantly, players will show up as red blips to reduce camping and first place will show up in gold
-
Gun Game: Everyone starts with a pistol and with every kill, your weapon will progress to the next level. The first player who progresses through all the weapons wins the Gun Game. Look out though, if you are knifed, you are knocked down a level.
