Call of Duty: Black Ops killstreaks revealed

28 October 2010

Leaked gameplay videos of Call of Duty: Black Ops have been doing the rounds for a few weeks now, and a comprehensive list of confirmed multiplayer killstreaks is available over on the CoD wiki

Players will have to buy most of the killstreaks using “CoD points,” which are earned in game. Treyarch has also fundamentally changed the game by making kills earned with streak bonuses not count towards future streaks. This means that only kills that you get yourself will count. This will make it a lot harder to get to the higher killstreak bonuses. 

Call of Duty: Black Ops is due out on November 9 for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Gameservers.com is the exclusive proprietor of dedicated servers for the PC version, but has no presence here. However, industry whisperings suggest that a local ISP has made headway into working out a solution. MyGaming will report on further developments as they emerge.
