Multiplayer Info

Competition

* Compete, Customize and Create is the slogan they are going with for Black Ops multiplayer
* Spy Plane killstreak reward
* Combat training, multiplayer training map with AI. Different rank progression. Aimed at players who don’t go online
* Character model shows up in menus, so you can see customization effects.
* Ghost guys = stealthy, Flak guy = armored
* Basic appearance determined by teir 1
* All things that are Lethal are on right bumper, all Tactical items go left bumper, and there’s now an equipment category for deploy-ables.
* Motion Sensors (a personal UAV) and a signal Jammer.
* you need in game currency to buy “things”
* batch of special weapons that players will get in Care Packages — including the Death machine and Grim Reaper (mini-gun and grenade launcher)
* Napalm Strike, Gunship, Mortar Team, the Radio Controlled Car, SAM Turret (it takes down a chopper)
* Every time you play, you earn money (COD points)
* What you used to unlock by level is now for sale — if you can afford it, you can buy it
* Contracts: time limited challenges that you purchase with COD Points (CP). Categories = Mercenaries, Operations, Specialist. Each is attached to certain play styles and in-game achievements.
* Gambling: Wager Match – you ante up and put your COD Points on the line and wager on matches. The top three players split the pot.

Gamemodes

* Four new game modes, separate from your standard rank progression in multiplayer competitive modes.
* Take CP, wager them, and bet whether you are in the top three in the scoreboard for the specific match…
* First mode: one in the chamber, and everyone just has a pistol with one bullet and three lives.
* Second mode: sticks and stones where yo have crossbows and ballistic knives plus a tomahawk.
* Third mode: Gun Game – A series of progressive weapons, from pistol to shotgun to sniper rifle, granted to the player after kills.
* Fourth: Sharpshooter is where everyone uses the same weapon and unlocks perks per kill. Unlock a better gun with each kill…and lose a “level” with death instead of starting from the beginning

sweeeet! cnt wait for this game to come out!

Fuck yes! Gun Game! Stolen from counterstrike but idc, I fucking love Gun Game. Perk setup is better now. So much of this makes me wanna jizz that I won't waste a page of typing on what I think is gonna be way better than MW2.

I'm getting it, most everyone is getting it, etc...

I'm just happy that there will be no more nukes, deathstreaks, one man army, or danger close.
The killcam and game re-play system is cool too, like Uncharted 2. Hopefully we can upload straight to youtube cause i don't want to waste money on a PVR :D.

As long as the snipers do their job in one hit, stopping power is useless.
