Where is the Wii version's videos?

Very little has been said about the Wii version, as usual. I haven't seen any videos; the only thing I've seen so far is this interview:
http://www.callofduty.com/intel/410

It sounds like the Wii version is going to have something as close to feature parity as you could expect.

 

[Spooks]

Nuke Town looks like it will be a lot of fun. 8 more days and it still seems so far off.

 

[LeMaximilian]

So, does anyone know if you HAVE to be on Xbox Live to do Combat Training or have a room with Bots?

You do.

 

[LeMaximilian]

You do.

fothermucker

 

[LowParry]

I want. IwantIwantIwantIwantIwant!

 

[mysticwhip]

You do.

Does BO have the same camo for guns as MW2?

 

[Konig94]

You do.

Why would they do this? The only time I would play with bots is when I don't have an Internet connection.

 

[Sethos]

Does BO have the same camo for guns as MW2?

Don't think so, there's 16 new ones.

Why would they do this? The only time I would play with bots is when I don't have an Internet connection.

Bots were added for people who hadn't made the jump to MP. They also give you XP and stats towards challenges etc. ( Less than normal I believe ) - So it had to be online to avoid boosting.

I do agree though, they should have had some bots that didn't give you anything so people could mess around offline.

 

[Kodiak]

Raaaaa... dunno whether to get this or save all my monies for cata.


Where oh where did the absurd amount of disposable income from highschool go?

 

[Sethos]

Getting close to the end now;

#11 Radiation: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xf...k-ops-map-walkthrough-11-radiation_videogames

#12 Summit: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xfhegr_call-of-duty-black-ops-map-walkthrough-12-summit

 

[Enco]

Never been into COD games that much but the splitscreen online sells it for me.

Will be picking this up.

 

[LowParry]

That Radiation map gives me a good CS vibe. Me likes.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

There's so much variety in the maps <3. The good kind.

 

[ruxtpin]

I'm just thinking out loud here... But are there any game-types in MW2 or BO that implement the nuke into the game-play (other than having it has a 25 kill-streak reward?)

Granted, it might be a horrible idea, and if anyone says it is... So be it. But would it be possible on larger maps to have a nuke go off at intervals, and you'd have to be inside a building to survive the blast? So as you're playing whatever mode, periodically everyone on both teams is making a mad dash for the closest building so they don't get killed? In my mind I'm thinking it could be a hilarious cluster-fuck as all players are trying to avoid getting killed by the nuke.

1v1 Live Splitscreen

uh no sound.

there's no nuke in Black Ops

Crossfire in the original Half-Life had that, you could push a button to launch a countdown and everybody that wasn't in the bunker died

Wow, that pisses me off. Looks like Treyarch was just bluffing with their "quickscope nerfing".

I think it would be hilarious, I can imagine people running past eachother just not bothering to shoot in a mad dash to get inside.

Im not sure it would be something that I would enjoy after the initial hilarity of it wore off, but it would be a laugh for a while.

 

[mysticwhip]

Wow, that pisses me off. Looks like Treyarch was just bluffing with their "quickscope nerfing".

He's actually aiming instead of the AA locking on.

 

[Stallion Free]

Wow, that pisses me off. Looks like Treyarch was just bluffing with their "quickscope nerfing".

What are you talking about? That looks nothing like the MW2 skill vids. He clearly moves the reticule once in scope and he doesn't fire until the entering scope animation is completed. He's good so QQ.

 

[dope4goldrope]

He's actually aiming instead of the AA locking on.

Yep. Fair game in my book. The scope-in is noticeably slower and he's aiming, can't do anything but tip your hat to him.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

From that vid looks like the guy is just pro to me.

 

[.nimrod]

Which is exactly what quickscoping is.

 

[Sethos]

Quickscoping is firing before the scope animation is ever played.

What he's doing is fast aiming.

 

[tsurugi no mai]

Which is exactly what quickscoping is.

You hit the nail on the head. It's so easy to do what that guy is doing.

This sounds exactly like KZ2's DLC map...

Anyway, the closest thing was Global Thermonuclear War in MW2 which was a game mode cut out of the final product.

[Sethos]

Last two maps;

#13 - Villa: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xfhf3b_call-of-duty-black-ops-map-walkthrough-13-villa_videogames

#14 - WMD: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xfhfhc_call-of-duty-black-ops-map-walkthrough-14-wmd_videogames ( Still processing at time of writing ).

 

[.nimrod]

Quickscoping is firing before the scope animation is ever played.[...]

Actually, it's not. Firing before you fully scope in is just as accurate as a no scope.

 

[Spinning Plates]

I've seen most of the maps now and the only one that looks a bit iffy to me is Havana.

Also holy shit at the decoy grenade. Can just imagine people spamming the map with these and making everyone go schizo.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Wow villa looks great. A million times better than that piece of shit known as Estate.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Hell yes nighttime maps. I missed those in MW2.

 

[Risette]

The gun sounds are so much better than any other CoD.

 

[kyo_daikun]

Just got home to find a COD black ops pack on my bed, its got the code for the flight suit for your xbox avatar, digital content disc and picture cell (mines of a guy absailing with a silenced UZI in his hand)

Nice little thing I guess.

 

[Nizz]

Yep. Fair game in my book. The scope-in is noticeably slower and he's aiming, can't do anything but tip your hat to him.

Yep, you can see the reticle doesn't seem to "snap" in place. This guy is just very good.

 

[LeMaximilian]

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned yet, or was being debated regarding it's existence...

...but you can now disable Aim-Assist in MP. Dope

 

[boredofcanada]

Wow villa looks great. A million times better than that piece of shit known as Estate.

agreed.

 

[-viper-]

Why am I seeing the shitty WW2 weapons in Black Ops zombies mode?

 

[tsurugi no mai]

Sethos, are you using Lightweight in those map videos? It looks like your body has no weight at all and you're just floating around.

 

[Mr Sandman]

Why am I seeing the shitty WW2 weapons in Black Ops zombies mode?

I saw a short clip with a modern SMG. I didn't look too long though.

You could do this in Waw and the first Modern Warfare. You wanna leave it on. Trust me.

I thought it was just for single player....

 

[GhostRidah]

Why am I seeing the shitty WW2 weapons in Black Ops zombies mode?

yea that's my concern also

[Sethos]

Sethos, are you using Lightweight in those map videos? It looks like your body has no weight at all and you're just floating around.

No idea man, the classes I used were default in the game, even the custom classes had a random loadout - I just changed the weapons on a few of them and that's about it.

 

[LeMaximilian]

You could do this in Waw and the first Modern Warfare. You wanna leave it on. Trust me.

I coulda swore it was only for single player, even tho it was in the MP options menu. From what I remember, BO is the first COD where you can finally toggle that feature during MP.

#13 - Villa: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xfhf3b_call-of-duty-black-ops-map-walkthrough-13-villa_videogames

Wow, these maps look great! The SP looks good, but I might cave and jump in to MP early. Has there been any footage of the FAL yet? Was my fav gun in MW2.

 

[G_Berry]

Massively impressed by the quality and quantity of maps!!

I ALWAYS LOVED YOU TREYARCH!!!!!

 

[Neuromancer]

So, does anyone know if you HAVE to be on Xbox Live to do Combat Training or have a room with Bots?

This is 2010, you can't expect to be able to play a single player mode offline any more! Come on man, what were you thinking.

 

[Sethos]

I used it in SP, it actually looks badass now ( The one in MW2 looked a bit camp ) and it's going to be one of my new favourite weapons I'm sure.

 

[LeMaximilian]

This is 2010, you can't expect to be able to play a single player mode offline any more! Come on man, what were you thinking.

 

[h0pper]

does anyone else notice how smooth the gameplay looks?

it reminds of the same effect when I first saw blu ray on a TV with a 120hz chip.

I'm really liking the look of this game.
