Call of Duty: Black Ops - First Strike Spotted

Abstract360.com Writes: "Earlier today, Infinity Ward's Creative Strategist Robert "FourZeroTwo" Bowling was spotted playing something very odd, Spare No One\nCosmodrom. Yes, I typed that correctly. After further investigation from Travis Gardner (LoudMouthedGamers) and I, we have discovered that this is an internal beta for Call of Duty: Black Ops."

I guess Microsoft didnt want a repeat of what happened with Reach. Made this a prepaid code, not even available through 99,999 Microsoft Points.

They finally found a way to keep hackers a bay for now.

Not really, Halo Reach was on the XBL marketplace on Xbox.com and hackers where able to download it without a prepaid code. So I can see the same thing happening to this.

I believe you can only unlock this with a prepaid code, not with microsoft points.

Luckily, the link is not included. It is much harder to find it on the Marketplace. I will not disclose the link just to protect the beta.

Halo Reach was set at 99999 MS points, but even if you had enough you was required a prepaid code to download it anyway. They downloaded the Halo Reach file from the servers and converted it to an ISO file to burn to a disc, so I'm sure they can do the same thing with this. I can't say for sure though, because I'm not a hacker.

Black Ops 1 Nuketown versus Cold War Nuketown '84

From DownSights: "Black Ops is not Black Ops without Nuketown. Following the tradition of releasing Nuketown for Black Ops games, the new Black Ops Cold War game also offers a revamped Nuketown called Nuketown '84.

Nuketown '84 has the same dimensions and map layout except for the aesthetics. The map's aesthetics have changed to fit the 80s theme, with destroyed buildings and graffiti-filled walls compared to a clean 50s suburban neighborhood seen in Black Ops 1."
