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

[xWhite_Shadowx]

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.

[WMD54]

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

[CaNANDian]

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 .

haha. awesome.

but no stopping power... although if nobody has it, i guess it doesn't really matter, does it? =O

Whats the deal with stopping power?

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