COD Black Ops Multiplayer in detail

Wednesday, August 11, 2010 11:10:15 AM (GMT Daylight Time, UTC+01:00)

So we have seen the new in game play from the new Call of Duty Black Ops. Now lets take a closer look at what's on offer.

1. You get a remote controlled vehicle for a three kill streak as seen later in the video

2. Here we see the payback kill, for killing someone who has already taken you out.

3. A 4 kill streak gets you a care package, which i assume contains some random perk

4. Buzz Kill means you end another players kill streak

5. Here it looks like a 5 kill streak gets you a guided missile, which you will see later ;)

6. Skewer, we see the player here uses a Ballistic Knife that can be fired from close range.

7. The knife is then recovered and used as a traditional knife…

8. The knife is then put together to be used again, and the player is awarded a back stabber award

9. Here we see a twin rotor helicopter at the top of the screen and on the radar…

10. You will see the helicopter is delivering a care package in this shot

11. Finally remember i mentioned about the guided missile earlier? That a look at centre of the picture, above right of the tele lens, you will see the missile appear from behind the building on the right…

12. Now the missile has rounded the building and is homing in on the player. You can see it just below the One Shot One Kill splash

13. OK so now you can see it, say goodnight Mr. sniper!…

14. So there’s nowhere to hide :)

15. Finally something very different for COD, it looks like there’s a Built in video recorder/editor with screenshot capabilities. This video editor appears to offer video clips saved into different segments with customisable names for each clip

So there you have it, there looks to be plenty of new features and fun options in the new Call of Duty. Don’t forget there is to be a full multiplayer reveal on September 1.

Call Of Duty Black Ops Wallpaper

Tuesday, August 10, 2010 5:29:54 PM (GMT Daylight Time, UTC+01:00)

Here are some stunning new wallpapers for the eagerly awaited Call of Duty Black Ops

At the beginning of each project, the team at Treyarch digs in and goes to work on engine enhancements with a focus on supporting the demands of the new environments and game play for our next title. For Black Ops, it was important to the team to have incredible photo-realistic lighting, huge draw distances, explosive destruction and effects, and mind-blowing character details.

We completely re-tooled the lighting system from soup to nuts, integrated texture streaming which makes levels like “Payback” possible, and provided our artists the tools and platform they needed to create stunning characters with detail down to their pores! We also went big overhauling the physics, jungle, water, and fire tech – the list goes on and on. You can see what we’re talking about from our gallery, but no screenshot even comes close to what you’ll be experiencing November 9th 2010!

All 14 can be downloaded at HERE
