Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer Footage

So most of us think this reveal will give the multiplayer beta access date right? Or was that rumor debunked ?

They haven't said anything about a beta. Today is the multiplayer reveal (Maps, Modes, Killstreaks, and Guns).

Actually beta is rumored to go up the same day. So beta will be today.

Wouldn't they have already asked for people to Sign-up for it if it is supposed to go up today as well?

I think WAW did their Beta like a month before release if I remember correctly. However COD4 did it far earlier than that.

This whole beta thing could be purely bullshit.

Yeah but MW2 didn't have one, and look how that ended up.

A ONE MONTH beta could've solved SO MANY issues with MW2 if you look at how quickly the community found glitches, unbalances, etc. I hope this Beta is real.
 
There really should be a beat since I doubt Treyarch wants any backlash like what MW2 received. A beta won't make the game perfect, but they can get a ton of balancing issues solved beforehand.
 
I would say to completely ignore all beta rumors for Black Ops...

...but from Activision's perspective, I can't think of any better counterprogramming to Halo Reach :lol
 
I hope they bring back the online stat tracking system. That was one of my favorite things about WaW. I'd also love to see them expand it to show stats per level and per game mode.

Yep.

And I'll be at work with only my iPhone to keep me updated so I'm relying on you guys to keep the information flowing. :D

Pretty sure there will be a new thread when the information is out. If not I guess I will post the important stuff in here.

Or you could just umm make the new thread yourself (because GAF doesn't have enough megathreads already)
 
Rumors already, from the UK magazine Short List:
-There is going to be an object called 'Nightingale'. It was a bundle of firecrackers that created noise and gunfire sounds, as to draw Viet-Cong to the location. If in multiplayer it could create a flashing red dot on enemy radar, a fake person so to say

-"You can create a tag and etch it onto your weapons, so they're stamped as yours. The option is also there to alter your sights and clip on attachtments such as flame-throwers"

-another new feature is the addition of currency in multiplayer. Your success gives you cash which you can spend on unlocking new weapons, uniforms and accessories to your player

-New Team Tactical type gamemode called Wager Match. It chooses a random game mode out of One in a Chamber, Sharpshooter, Sticks and Stones and Gun Game
-One in a Chamber - you have one bullet and a knife, and every kill you get gives you another bullet
-Sharpshooter - you are given a random weapon, so you either get a overpowered, or underpowered weapon
-Sticks and Stones - you have a crossbow, ballistic knife and Tomahawk. Crossbow and ballistic knife kills give you points, Tomahawk kills don't
-Gun Game - you start off with a bad weapon, but every kill upgrades you weapon. The first to reach the 20'th gun wins. Here is some footage of a Gun Game mod from mw2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oapK3gDMZSo

-TDM is still there, but points such as headshots, and other bonuses are added to the team score

-Three confirmed maps:
-Radiation (set in a power station)
-Summit (snowbound mountain base)
-Launch (missile base - the rocket will lift off dureing gameplay, and fry anyone underneath)

There's scans, too, and they're kinda poor quality but I can make out a lot the info in the post so I guess I can't dismiss it. Also, for the Sharpshooter game mode, the article makes it sound like the guns' power levels are randomly changed instead of there being tiers of weapons.

Also, Square Enix posted this to their YouTube channel:

I also read on a another forum about the article that the tomahawk resets your opponents score to zero if you kill them with it.
 
Wow that rumor list sounds exciting. Glad they're doing more than just giving MW 2 a new paint job. If Treyarch can pull this off and keep the game balanced then I'll have no problem calling them the new Call of Duty A team.
 
'Nightingale' sounds like it would be easy to detect the noise as fake if it's the same type of noise and rate. We'll see.

Currency in multiplayer - sounds like you may be able to control the order of gun/perk/etc unlocks this way.

-One in a Chamber - awesome for snipers/bolt action rifles.
-Sharpshooter - interesting, I assume you get a different weapon each respawn.
-Sticks and Stones - sounds fun.
 
Those modes sound like a lot of fun and a nice change of pace from the normal ones. I can't believe they're putting in an actual gun game mode since that's practically been a popular mod on all PC shooters. :lol

Loved gun game in CSS really hope it does make its way into BlackOps.

That would be amazing! I hope they'll allow the reverse order as well. I've always played Gun Game where knifing is the last stage.

One server i played on for a few months had it so it went pistols, smg's, shotguns, rifles, mg, grenade, knife :D so if you wanted to be top of the scoreboard you had to use a knife against gun users lol.

That's a very similar order. It's amazing. Always found the grenade kill the most difficult though. :(
 
Here is hoping that Activision doesn't charge to participate in wager matches. If done right, wager matches could make game battles obsolete.

If they wanted to get really crazy they should do Prestige Matches. Have a 1 v 1 and whoever loses gets downgraded one prestige rank and the winner goes up one. That would be nuts.:lol

Edit: Holy crap, they are also adding in Gun Game! That could be a lot of fun.
 
Looks interesting. Good to see that they are adding bonus stuff to the Team score rather than the individual score, they should more of the similar stuff, more team based stuff so people could stop worrying about kills and rather focus on Wins.

There ya go. First one is the entire spread and each one underneath is a piece of text or screenshot zoomed in.

EDIT: changed them to links.

I think magazine scans are not allowed. Take em down before the ban!

I think wager here refers to in-game currency. Besides, I don't think many people would be willing to bet real money on a match mode that is so random.
