CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS

EB Games just posted which stores that will have a midnight launch:

Sadly, I won't be one of them. My pre-order is with Futureshop and I don't want to risk cancelling that and trying to pick up the Prestige Edition from somewhere else that likely won't have stock.

I won't be on until late night on release day (assuming it's shipped on release date), but I'll likely be on all night as I took the rest of the week off from work!

wow.. thanks areksoo one of the ebgames near my house is doing a midnight release.. fuck futureshop its a 5 min drive from my house to ebgames!! im fuking going to ebgames for the midnight release

My store is one of the ones doing mid night release!!!! I'll see if my friend (who has a car and is also getting bops will drive us in, but its on a school night so i might just wait to the next day and play it the 10th and 11th straight

mines like a two minute drive from my house and its on the list, but there ain't no chance my mom or dad is gonna let me go to that :'( sadface

Nightmare5019 - do you get November 11th off? It's not a standard holiday here in Ontario, but some companies do treat it like one... like banks and government companies.

Mine happens to be one! So really I'm only taking 2 days off.

Multiplayer Online Split-Screen Support
Let’s get started with what I believe is the most unknown, yet confirmed, aspect to Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer -- the online split-screen support we’ve re-introduced to the franchise! This applies to both the Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3.

The Facts:

* You can connect a 2nd controller and bring a Guest online.
* Guests can rank up, earn unlocks, etc -- all Guest progress goes away once signed out.
* (Xbox 360 only) You can bring a 2nd, Gold Xbox LIVE account online!
* (Xbox 360 only) Both players with full online accounts can rank-up while playing split-screen, as if on two separate consoles.


Custom Games Editor
Allow me to introduce the Black Ops Custom Games editor! Private Matches have never been this customizable. Players will have the ability to structure their games at all new levels of granularity. From variables as simple as Time Limit and Score Limit, or as deep as which weapons, Perks, and gear is available. You want a Pistols Only match? Make one! No longer do custom game modes rely on the "honor system".

Furthermore, any Custom Game you create and configure can be placed in your File Share, for friends and the community-at-large to browse, download, and enjoy. You just might create the most addictive new game mode of all time from the comfort of your own living room!

In-Game Friends List
We’ve integrated a built-in Friends List into the in-game User Interface. You’ll be able to browse Recent Players, Friends, navigate their File Shares, Recent Games, Combat Records -- all within this in-game menu system designed to streamline the social process within the game. Sending game invites and joining Friends’ games has never been simpler than in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Regional Matchmaking & Party Privacy
Call of Duty: Black Ops will support regional matchmaking filters on a global scale. So, no matter where you’re at in the world, you will have the ability to specify whether you want to match with players from other geographical regions, or only those local to you. This will make communication and lag a much less intrusive variable on your gameplay experience.

Additionally, given Black Ops will support joining games in progress via an even simpler built-in in-game Friends List interface, we’ll allow a Party leader to lock down his lobby to Invite Only, Friends Only, or even Close it altogether if he wants to be in complete control over who enters and exits the Party Lobby.

Emblems Do NOT Reset with Prestige
This one is pretty cut-and-dry -- a frequently asked question is, "Will my kickass emblem I spent hours perfecting be lost when I prestige??" The answer is, "NO!" -- Emblems are one of the only aspects of Black Ops MP that do not get a full reset upon entering Prestige. Things that will reset when you Prestige are: XP, COD Points, Challenge progressions, Loadouts, etc. Black Ops has 15 Prestige levels and 50 ranks per Prestige level.

thats sick. But i dont like how ps3's second guest account will have its stats reset after signing out, but on xbox it counts towards your guests actual account.

cuz xbox is cheap and they prob paid treyarch more money to not inculde a second psn acc for split screen

Areksoo, schools here get Rememberance Day off =D

heres a 10min vid that was recently added
idunno if it was a re up or a new vid
but its kinda fun to watch

this is the L96A1
its basically the M40A1 but with a dragonuv scope
looks like a beast rifle

From seeing the gameplay... I WANT THE GAME NOW D=

traded in mw2.. im done with that game ill be playing cod4 til bo now

all the gameplays i've been seeing just makes me what this more D=

black ops is leaked for sure
i bet it'll be on the 360 a week early again... i hope, then i can practice a week early

WARNING!!!! THIS IS A FULL SPOILER OF THE FIRST STAGE!
i will be watching it cause i never play campaign. i finished MW2 during march break.

yea its been leaked since 2 days ago. been trying to get a pc version but dont think its leaked yet

heres all the maps



alot of zombie footage out
but all the qualities look shitty. is it a fake mod for waw?
anyway i will be trading in my waw since the only use for it is zombies
bops so soon. i said it so many times but i cant stop saying it.

its removed D= and i saw the 1 hour video, (well 1/2 watched, i was working on an essay for most of the time) and theres a shit load of information given out!!!! Dang, i want to see what the treat is for killing all the dummies now D=

and i am aswell going to trade in my copy of waw, its worthless now lol

weapons damage

i might use fal if that weapon chart is true

I'll use the FAL if it's improved from the mw2 version

you see the M14 has a grip attachment? That's crazy, I remember using that in cod4 was really hard

wats wrong with the mw2 version.. it was 2 shot kill any distant with sp

it recoiled almost as bad as the M14 but with weaker damage. in cod4 killing someone with M14 was almost instant, using the FAL, as much as it "said" 2-3 bullets to kill anyone, I always needed to fire more

nice find rizzo +rep if u even care lol
im more of a smg guy anyway... but if theres a gun like the tar, thats what il be using
lol at the scorp being 2 shot kill in close range. underated for long range but il still use it

Im thinking of taking the galil but i dont think it can be unlocked right away, so ill probably stick to famas. My shotgun will be olympia for buildings/stairs/choke points and smg will be mp5k. Of course it will change once glitches are found (like increased range with attachments).

here are some videos i found on weapon stats, not sure how accurate it is



here is some game play of galil, fal, etc.
