Wager Match Trailer

Holy shit @ the Terminator 2 music used in the beginning.

 

[Blueblur1]

A beta at this point would be a glorified demo, folks.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Nothing wrong with a glorified demo (plus Treyarch actually fixed a few bugs found during the W@W beta).

 

[NeoUltima]

Shit...I'm actually considering getting another CoD.

 

[MrDaravon]

A beta at this point would be a glorified demo, folks.

True, but it would be way better than nothing, and at least would give them a head start on starting to get stuff fixed to hopefully get a patch out faster.

 

[dismas]

Haha Gun Game... used to play that all the time in CS

 

[Router]

HELL YEAH.

 

[Wallach]

There's actually some really neat ideas here for multiplayer shenanigans. I like it.

I laughed at the end of this video...

"It is also super satisfying to take somebody's money."

Ooh, you would know about that, Activision .

Wager Match Trailer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg_8mPoloBo

Pro versions of perks are back. Sleight of Hand Pro is in the trailer.

Some of the guns in that trailer looked great while others just felt wimpy, like they didn't pack as much punch as they should have. Game is still in development though so I can't complain. Now give us a BETA!

 

[kuYuri]

Stuff in trailer I see that may not have been confirmed before:

Weapons:
Skorpion
Ithaca
M72 LAW
WA2000
L96A1
M14

Perks:
Lightweight (Pro)
Steady Aim (Pro)
Sleight of Hand (Pro)

Misc:
Tomahawk (like a throwing knife)
Extended Mags
Thermal Scope

Made me lol

 

[VaLiancY]

DAT MINIGUN.:lol Man, I can't wait.

 

[kilongs]

wait, so are these game types only available to wager matches?

 

[-PXG-]

COD points....eventually they will probably add MS points...and after that...actual money. GG Activision. GG.

 

[tsurugi no mai]

Apparently, dropped weapons glow.

 

[REV 09]

the new modes actually sound fun. Customization looks like a nice improvement. the only thing left of concern is the balance of the main game.

 

[dskillzhtown]

Damn. I am getting me some Black Ops. Love all the different modes and BOTS!!!

 

[DoomGyver]

yess M14 with irons! wooooooo

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Tier One perks are Lightweight, Scavenger, Ghost (Colblooded), Flak Jacket, and maybe Hardline.

 

[ismaboof]

If you can play gungame without wagering money, just earning the points like in TDM or whatever, I might bite.

 

[i_am_ben]

did they drop last stand?

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

COD points....eventually they will probably add MS points...and after that...actual money. GG Activision. GG.

They wouldn't be the first. EA did it with Madden last year and they might not have even been the first.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

did they drop last stand?

it was already down, they just put it out of its misery.

 

[sweetvar26]

Fuck still has that dual weapon bullshit, fucking hate that thing. Looks like all the stuff I hated from MW2 is returning

 

[VaLiancY]

What a world it would be to see Stopping Power, Martyrdom and Last Stand banished forever.

 

[GillianSeed79]

Sounds like noob tube for all intents and purposes is gone other than that care package method. The "nasty" part doesn't exactly ease my concern though, might be just a super noob tube.

I think I would cry tears of joy if noob tubes were relegated to care package drops. On a side note this actually sounds good. Does not sound like a MW2 re-skin and it looks like they are adressing some of the balance complaints about MW2. Treyarch haters are going to have to think of some new ways to troll them I guess.

Edit: Explosive crossbows look like the new noob tubes /:

 

[Wallach]

What a world it would be to see Stopping Power, Martyrdom and Last Stand banished forever.

We can dream.

 

[DRE Fei]

I might actually play free-for-all this time, since it looks like the wagering thing is limited to that game type. I wonder how many people are going to dashboard as soon as they lose. People are just gonna boost in this mode like always, but it still looks fun.

 

[Kthreev]

As long as they have a few NEW zombie maps (not rehashed WaW versions) and a decently fun campaign in addition to all the new multiplayer stuff, this is looking to be a solid purchase for me.

 

[seady]

I never care for COD and the modes look very entertaining.

 

[Loxley]

I'll admit I got worried at the first mention of "CoD Points", but glad to hear it's just related to in-game stuff. Initially I thought it they would be along the lines of what Battlefield Heroes and Combat Arms do, using real money to buy points to use in-game to unlock weapons, since that seems like an appropriately Kotick thing to do, glad I was wrong.

The addition of bots alone gets me interested (seriously, it's about damn time the series had them) plus the addition of the video recording/editing and unique game types really give me the impression that Treyarch is actually making a game that is distinctly their own and not just a re-skin of MW2.

 

[kuYuri]

According to these tweets, Black Ops PC is probably using Steamworks.

[MMaRsu]

Graphics are bad, more akimbo bullshit and other perks and weapons.

This game will NEVER be really balanced.

Good thing I'm never buying this pos.

But Wager matches do look fun .

 

[i_am_ben]

it was already down, they just put it out of its misery.

so basically they stole my kill?

 

[darkressurection]

Boy, not a ton of info out of this event so far. :\

 

[strikeselect]

Treyarch seems to be going all out with BlackOps.


One in the Chamber looks freakin' badass. Can't wait!

 

[kuYuri]

Fuck it, I'll just post everything this guy said that's interesting here:

Pro Perks exist. No Stopping power.

Secondaries are pistols, crossbow, and launchers.

Ninja is back in three tier. Bling is back as Overlord in tier 2.

Shotguns have a range that feels right in my opinion. Killstreaks do not count toward others ones.

Equiptment - Camera Spike. C4. TI. Jammer. Motion sensor. Claymore.

Tier One Perks - Lightweight. Scavenger. Ghost. Flak Jacket. Hardline.

Tier Two Perks - Hardened. Scout. Steady Aim. Sleight of Hand. Warlord.

Tier Three - Marathon. Ninja. Second Chance. Hacker. Tactical Mask.

Lethal Grenades - Tomahawk. Frag. Semtex.

Tactical Grenades - Willy Pete. Nova Gas. Flash Bang. Concussion. Decoy. Willy Pete is smoke.

Launchers - M72. RPG. Strela. China Lake.

 

[LeMaximilian]

Another tweet says no Stopping Power.

Dude.......DOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! HOLY FFFFFUUUUUU link me plz

 

[zero margin]

Another tweet says no Stopping Power.

god please

Edit - I dont see it on the link?

 

[Nonoriri]

Looks like fun :>

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

so basically they stole my kill?

the replay has you not shooting. im so sorry for your loss

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

The amount of content and variety in this game seems incredible, or something close to it at least. Not forgetting we haven't seen the zombie mode and co-op mode (assuming they aren't one in the same). After being disappointed with MW2 because it kind of wasn't my style I'm super hyped again.

Treyarch <3

 

[Dr.Palutena]

color me interested, now time to convince my roommate to buy it. >>

Fuck it, I'll just post everything this guy said that's interesting here:

Thank god Spower is gone. Between that and cold blooded those were the two default choices.

 

[Skilotonn]

Fuck yeah, they got Dobermans as a killstreak - the dogs from WaW are still my favourite killstreak in CoD, and they brought them back for Black Ops...

I won't be picking the game up, but the amount of content in this game is ridiculous - WaW proved that Treyarch wasn't just the B-team, and now they are just going all out...

And I don't see how the hell the talk about CoD points got misunderstood to be actual MS points - it was pretty damn clear that it was about in-game points.

 

[Deware80]

God damn it all i want to see are the improvements to NAZI ZOMBIES!! Guess they prob wont reveal until closer to release, everything sounds fantastic so far tho

yup totally sucked shit that certain classes (read most) required SP
