Thread: Call of Duty: Black Ops MP Reveal

  1. #1

    Default Call of Duty: Black Ops MP Reveal

    So yesterday was the multiplayer reveal of Black Ops. Silly American time meant we could only look at vids today, but I managed to find this one.

    Wager matches look SICK.



    Looks EFFING hot...


    *EDIT*
    Was digging around twitter, looking for content and found this, which is obviously subject to change or be false, but it is a starting point. Its the perk-list.
    Killcams are back, but we will be saying goodbye to deathstreaks and the juggernaut perk.

    We now know that our first perk slot selection will reflect what our character looks like.

    The first perk selections are the following:

    * Lightweight
    * Scavenger
    * Ghost
    * Flak Jacket
    * Hardline

    Ghost is similar to the cold-blooded perk and Flak Jacket was seen in Call of Duty: World at War, it reduces explosive damage.

    Second Perk Slot:

    * Hardened
    * Scout
    * Steady Aim
    * Sleight of Hand
    * Warlord

    Hardened is bullet penetration, Warlord is the bling perk seen in Modern Warfare 2.

    Third Perk Slot:

    * Marathon
    * Ninja
    * Second Chance
    * Hacker
    * Tactical Mask

    Second Chance is last stand, of course. Tactical Mask makes you tear gas and flashbang resistant.
    ...
    You will be able to customize the shape and color of your radicals and will be able to customize your own emblem that can be placed on your gun as well as having your clan tag carved into it to make it that much more personal.

    RC Car – Despite popular opinion when it was first revealed in the teaser trailer, it is really functional, it does drive really well with your left and right toggle to control, trigger button to make it explode. Enemies can blow it up by shooting it, there is no set time limit on when it blows up, but it does leave you very vulnerable on the ground and can take awhile to find your targets.

    There are 11 killstreaks available to choose. Currently, we know that dogs are one of the higher ones, not yet confirmed as to what number they are unleashed at.

    Some more info

    In the magazine they interview lead multiplayer designer David "Vahn" Vonderhaar. He began by talking about how a lot of inspiration went into the game and that Major Josh Plaster (SOG group member) influenced a lot of additions. The SOG created a lot of their own equipment which includes a "Nightingale" device, this device consists of a bunch of firecrackers bundled together and then thrown into the jungle to create gunfire sounds as it goes off. This is a good decoy to draw out the enemy and to then ambush him, they decided to put this in the game.

    The "Full Metal Jacket" film is another thing that influenced them as they took the "This is my weapon. This is my gun" line as you can now create a tag and etch it onto your weapons, hence stamping them as your own. This is one of the first things that people noticed in the teaser trailer, along with the smiley sight which Vahn has now confirmed that sights can be altered. You can also clip on attachments such as flame-throwers!

    Probably one of the most intriguing new features is the introduction of currency. That's right, can you can earn in-game cash for your success! With this cash you can spend it on unlocking weapons, uniforms and accessories to make your character unique.

    But that's not all, the money has also introduced a new intense addictive game mode called "Wager Mode". This mode features 4 games that you can choose and you gamble with your own currency while the feat of loss is incredibly great that it intensifies the action.

    "One in the chamber" sees you having one bullet and if you have to shoot and kill then you receive your dead enemy's bullet so that you can reload. If you shoot and miss then your only option is to sneak up on an enemy to knife them. "Sharpshooter" gives you a random generated weapon so you can either be dangerously overpowered or woefully under-prepared. "Sticks and Stones" sees you armed with just three basic weapons, killing an enemy with the crossbow or the ballistic knife gets you big points where the tomahawk doesn't but in a tactical move it resets the dead enemy to zero. "Gun Game" sees you trying to get a kill with 20 different weapons and the first that manages win but if you're knifed to death then you're humiliated and have to go back and perform another kill with the last weapon you used.

    As expected, the classic team deathmatch returns. They also revealed the names and descriptions of 3 maps which are based around the 60's and 70's Cold War era. "Radiation" is based in an abandoned power station, "Summit" is in a snowbound mountain base and "Launch" is staged around a rocket which lifts off during gameplay, hence frying anyone underneath it. It's worth noting that Summit and Launch were both seen in the teaser trailer.

    The last feature that is mentioned is the "Theater" mode that got many excited at the end of the teaser trailer. With this feature you can revisit every game you play that is stored and you can view it from different angles. You can also recut the clips to create you own highlights reels and movies, then you can upload it. Vahn acknowledges that there will be a lot of storage needed to be able to cope with the amount of uploads and that they're trying to make the back-end as strong as possible.
    and

    Wager Match are all new Free-for-All game modes that were designed for you to poop your pants. Period. They're pure adrenaline and will keep you busy and gambling your well deserved CP (COD Points) for a long time to come. CP? Oh yeah! The ranking system has been completely overhauled, giving you the possibility to decide your own unlock with "money" instead of ranking up. So you choose what your next upgrade will be, depending at how much money you have.

    In Wager Match, you can bet your money by playing the four different game types, but you need to come in first, second or third or you will loose your money. Play it right or pay the price. It's explained in more detail in the video below.

    PC-related

    - Josh Peckler has tweeted that dedicated servers will be rented from GameServers only. Unranked (Fully customisable) and ranked. There are no public server files.

    - Bad news? CoD:Black Ops will be a Steam exclusive game using VAC. No PB, sadly.
    Some MP details for COD: BO

    So there we have it. Basically the same kak as MW2. And there goes any real MP potential.
