Since the last one went past the 30 day mark, I thought I'd make a new thread seeing how today we got a new trailer for the game.

The Black Ops official site.

The YouTube page
.

Release date: November 9th, 2010

And in case none of you have seen it yet, this is the first vid showing off the multiplayer (it came out today).
At the end of the vid it says "Full multiplayer reveal September 1st" so maybe that's when we'll get at least a little more info on the game. Maybe they'll also give a date for a beta (I hope it has one).
And here's a rundown of the trailer (thanks to JP for giving the link).


Not too much is known about the game... it'll have single player, and I guess it'll have multiplayer. So.... thoughts on the game? Ideas, likes, dislikes, wants, etc?

I'll just copy my post from the other thread.



Looks to me like they're doing the same thing IW did by adding a bunch of unnecessary stuff. Video cameras and RC cars have no place in a military shooter and are bound to be abused. I just pray that they don't bring back Tac Inserts. I'd hate to have to go after boosters with them having a camera watching for anyone that comes near them. Also, if you look to the right side of the screen at :35 you'll see a guy do some weird lunge. That just isn't needed. I can already see myself hitting someone with a million bullets only to have them dive to the side, get up and kill me.

The sniping did look better, and the weapons looked like they had a bit more recoil, which was all good. I also liked that they're including a theater type mode like in Halo.

Like I said, I just hope they don't do like IW and add so much that it ruins things. You can see how well things like Tac Inserts, Riot Shields, overpowered secondaries, etc. went over on MW2 and they'll likely go the same way if they're included in this one. I'm just not going to get my hopes up on this one like I did with MW2.

I don't know what to think of this. With the RC car and crossbow, it looks like they're trying to take it in a different direction. Trying to cut away from MW, I guess.

The sniping does look pretty cool though, I'll give it that, and the maps look a lot more playable than any I've seen before.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

As I said in the previous topic, I'm very excited. It would seem like they are indeed working a lot on customizations, as seen at the beginning of the footage. The smiley face red dot sight, big yellow smiley face on the assault riffle, and being able to add your clan tag on your weapon. Makes me wonder what else we'll see.

I love the explosive RC car, but I wonder what it's limitations will be. Lots of people speculate it'll have a limited battery life, which makes sense to make it balanced. The Ballistic knife looks friggin awesome, probably will be this games Throwing Knife. Then there's also that rocket taking off we see on the gameplay of the second map. Possibly a new game mode? Notice they didn't put what game mode it was above the score. So I hope it's something new.

Oh so very excited for this.

Ballistic knife and Crossbow look like total and utter BS.

I'll just say right here, right now.

If this game sucks, then I called it.
I honestly think I could be playing more Halo than CoD next year with the looks of things.

I can't wait to try the beta for this. I really hope they have dedicated servers for this game.
That's if they even release a beta for it. I sure hope they do.

Considering Reach comes out two months before Black Ops, I could see that happening.
Well, I didn't know that. Anyway, if they had been released right after the other, then I would have gotten Reach, that's what I was meaning.

Zombies apparently confirmed here

Now I'm definitely getting this (As if I wasn't already XD) Zombies were awesome in World at War :3

Treyarch's usually good about beta testing their products. Though whether it's an open or closed beta I dun know.
As far as I know, it's a closed one on September 2nd as IGN and I'm sure others will be getting a taste of the multiplayer. Hopefully they release a public one soon after though.

As for the Prestige and Hardened editions... I'm tempted to buy either. I never got any of the Zombies maps, so I'd enjoy playing on them (playing with Black Ops weapons?) and the RC car is just tempting to have as a collectors item. It's much cooler than the NVG's from MW2's last year.

The fact that they aren't coming standard, along with that they're maps most people have already played, is quite disappointing... I doubt I'll get this, though I'm still on the fence, I'll need to see a bit more before I decide.
Apparently my old sig was too big or something so I'm just putting this here because I'm too lazy to actually replace it properly right now.

When I first saw COD Black Ops, I wasn't really liking the idea. Maybe it's because I'm sick of Call of Duty games, but I saw the multiplayer trailer for it and I really thought I should give it a try. I dunno, the gameplay looks different and I'm loving it. The story line looks rather different this time, so overall, this game looks good and I'm definitely getting it :)
