i would like to see a game match type, that involves every game type an your points are added on after each game type, such as start off with ffa, then you are put into your teams for rest of match types team deathmatch, domination, HQ s & d domination etc.....an your points are added


this will see who is top dog ...casue you could be great at tdm but crab in s&d, or getting crazy score in capture the flag, think it would be interesting how it would plan out

Thats not a bad idea, or have stats on your win/loss and kdr on specific match types, thats why when you go from playing tactical games to Headless Chicken mode you get your ass kicked as theres so many noobs on it, playing Sabotage and S&D you almost forget about noobtubes, I dont think I've been killed by one on a game of it yet

I'm hoping they allowing modding in this one, it kind of pissed off the pc community when they got so screwed out of it :P No editor, no dedicated servers.. Kinda sucked for one of the most successful games so far.

From the BO page on Wikipedia:
"Some PC specific features that were taken away from Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 will return, such as lean[13], dedicated servers[14], mod tools and a developer console."

Sounds very promising. I bet there were quite a few people besides myself swearing when getting used to MW2 multiplayer, throwing a flashbang whilst using cover. I think for me the most important aspect will be the dedi support, so that clans that aren't lucky enough to live in the same country can play together easilly, get some decent leagues up and running, and last but not least to have some form of control on who joins a game - no more frustrating matches with a bad/childish host who either won't leave despite lagging everybody or leaves as soon as their ratio looks bad :rolleyes:

Anyone else think the callsign emblems look a bit cack? I wonder will it still be lvl 70 to prestige or will they lower back to 50 like on COD4

They better be keeping the tac insertions in this game

Totally against it. Boosting would still run rampage and ruin the game imo.

It's grand if they're used properly but I reckon they'll be abused, again.

They are vital for my gameplay.

I keep forgetting to, but a TI near a bomb site in Sabo or Demo and some places (like a quiet spot inside the house in Estate on most game modes) can be really good, I've see a few vids like that.

Must try it out next time I'm on. Heck, if someone is there with another and he spawns repeatedly in front of me, all the better! :pac:

Looks like google knows something, Doubt there will be any ps3 beta though because of the Activision /MS deal which sucks

Mr. Manager

I just tried to go to that site and I was redirected back to the original Black Ops page

I just googled 'Call of Duty Black Ops beta' and the first result was interesting.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned elsewhere on the boards.

"Team DX Coders – The very same people who cracked the key algorithm for Halo: Reach – Have made an announcement that they have found Beta keys for Call of Duty Black Ops.

Team DX Coders have been known for the fact that they leaked Beta Keys for Halo: Reach before there was even a beta announcement, and it looks like it’s the same again this time.

“They were in the same place we found Halo’s ones, more or less. Microsoft isn’t being too careful to hide the keys, but we expect that to change in the future. For now we will do the same thing we did with Reach, keep the keys under wraps until the Beta is fully announced, then share them.”

As always, the hacking forum that Team DX Coders is a part of is in a furor over the news, especially considering the well known distribution of keys that occurred for Reach. No doubt we will see them floating around the net the moment the Beta is properly announced. The hacking team gave the keys out to various high profile websites, as well as over their own forums and you tube.

Of course, could this all be a ploy by Activision to increase hype for the game? Doubtful, considering a release date is so far away. It would be far more likely to be the case if this occurred just after E3. When trying to reach Activision for comment, I was stone walled at every turn. Focusing on developer Treyarch instead, they let out this little gem “We can’t confirm that Black Ops will have a beta” Uhh…that’s not a no, guys.

I guess that means legally I can say “I can’t confirm that I am already testing Black Ops for Activision” – That should fly sufficiently under the NDA radar.

For those that don’t know, Call of Duty: Black Ops is the next Call of Duty game to be released on November 9, 2010 – It will no doubt be piggybacking on the success of Modern Warfare 2, though whether customers relate ‘Modern Warfare 2′ with the ‘Call of Duty’ brand, remains to be seen.

We will of course attempt to give out as many codes as possible over our e-mail list when they are released, that is of course, as long as Microsoft doesn’t wizen to the fact that these codes have been hacked already. Actually…. I’m pretty sure even then they won’t care."


Hmm :cool:

So 1 gamemode on 1 map is worth having what ruined MW2 for a lot of people left in the game?

Under the basement stairs can be very handy if they other team are in the house, especially with a SPAS. Other places as well. I liked the room facing onto the playground in Skidrow. Behind the door on the terrace of red building in Favela, etc.

Nope plenty of others just didn't mention them. To win a high % of demolition games you need a TI! Please keep, they are the business.

i would also like to have your friends diff colors on the map, 5 friends an all blue so you dont no where he or she is, so every player has a different color on map, easy way to spot where they are
