New Call of Duty Black Ops Footage and Information

GoodGameTV is an Australian TV Gaming Show that's been running for years now, and with that sort of high exposure project comes big oportunities. One of those opportunities was for the team at GoodGameTV to actually get a tour of Treyarch's studio...

[Drjft]

Looks awesome. I love how that assault rifle just has the grenade launched strapped on, and not properly attached.

[Sandwich Bender]

It was MacGyver'd.

[aselah]

hahaha

[Conloles]

This show has sucked ever since that chick came in and removed Junglist

[deadreckoning666]

I'd bang that chk in the vid. The game looks fantastic btw, even though I swore to lay off shooters for a while, I might just have ta get this. Look at the gameplay vid with all those choppers in the sky at once...AMAZING. Treyarch are awesome multiplatform developers.

@below- I've never owned a COD game before, so I doubt ill get tired of it that fast :)

[mikeslemonade]

Deadreckoning has the right idea. That's some Jade Raymond quality lady right there. Forget the game. Matter of fact, the game was never good anyway.

[shoddy]

that military adviser sound really wise.

[Spenok]

For some reason that chick looked familiar. Oh well, the game does look fantastic. Lets just hope that Activision doesnt charge for online.

[gamerzBEreal17]

GREAT MORE PEOPLE GET BLACK OPPS THEN 2 MONTHS LATER GET SICK OF IT AND BASH IT ON THE INTERNET! cant wait...

[wicko]

Eh, MW2 always sucked

[finalblink41]

That's be treyarch is garbage developers, when you get to pick of the scraps from the OLD IW and make a game you know your second rate hahahha, this game looks like shit. crossbows please.

[sickbird]

i could be wrong but i think its just the strap for the weapon and its not holding anything on...

[CrzyFooL]

Whoa whoa whoa, How come Australia gets this crap!? WHO PUT THEM IN CHARGE!?

[Drjft]

The same people that decided we ride kangaroos to school and work.

[AngryTypingGuy]

Does all of the hopping give you guys hemorrhoids, or do you guys use saddles on your kangaroos for the most part?

[writersblock]

You got a problem with that

[ZarX]

Not bad....

[Nostradavis]

looks a bit generic

[badz149]

duh...what else did you expect?

[Red Panda]

But all these idiots will go and make this pile of crap a top seller. There is no need to push the technology and take games to the limit because everyone is so content with this horrible rubbish. They would rather stay and play in the past. Keep supporting titles that have more bugs than a crack whore.

[CrzyFooL]

The old man in this video who is the CoD military advisor is one bad ass mother . . . god damn. He's the real deal.

[Drjft]

Dude, can't everyone do pushups on their head?

DAFUCK!

[DarkTower805]

I do pushups with my penis.

[DarkSpawnClone]

Cock ups lmao

[Spenok]

There called Cock-pushups. Hasnt Jack Black and Tenacious D taught you anything?

[bfenty]

ANOTHER Call of Duty? When will it end...

[aselah]

Why stop the money train?? if it ain't broke...

[arakouftaian]

I cant belive how this game sales so much is like they have briand wash 10 mil gamers, how do they brain wash 10mill gamers every year?

[vickers500]

I would like to apologize in advance for having an opinion. I'll try to make it match the majority of n4gs opinion next time.

The only CoD that was really AWFUL was MW2. CoD 1-4 were great games, and world at war was pretty good as well. MW2 sucked horribly though.

[Sandwich Bender]

It will end when someone answers the CALL of DUTY

[CaptainAmerica]

ah, i c wut u did thur -_-

[Stunt]

Awesome.

[GaMe01]

I was worried about Treyarch making the game but I think I will give it a try after all. If they fail at this one it will be for sure the last one I buy.

[badz149]

when will it ever end?

[aselah]

i'm not much of a FPS gamer but this looks incredible

[CaptainPunch]

I still have hope for this game

[GoodSpeed]

I loved MW but I just need a break from that formula for a while. I don't play as competitively as I used to either and that limits my ability to enjoy MW like I did originally. I'll still give the SP a shot.

[Jayjayff]

if you mean that you get killed more often now it just mean you played the other games as a rusher but now commando, unlimited noob tubes and camping has made this game a piece of shit.

[CHARLIEBROWNE]

I won a copy of this in a competition :) hopefully it surpasses it's predecessors.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I was in a creepypasta thread for an hour last night. I still can't sleep.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

No. Just no.

How can anyone want to purchase this crap after the incredible storyline Infinity Ward gave us?!?

[MiamiACR]

If by Incredible you mean Incredibly* bad, then yes you'd be right. Infantry Ward gave us an Incredibly bad story line. Lets hope this fairs better in that respect.

[NarooN]

Anyone who thought MW2's story was "incredible" is nothing more than an incredible IW-dick sucker. That story had so many plot holes and inconsistencies it didn't even make sense.

[red2tango]

cool video to watch, but activision charging for online puts me off

[Mr Exclusive]

I love Good Game, best gaming showing show in Australia IMO. The show and the ABC is quality and government funded. So you know you won't get any of the stupid shit like FlipFlopFlammer.

Also guys the chicks name is 'Hex'

[CrzyFooL]

Ahhhhh snap, HHG haters all up in the CoD info article!!!

[KingNintendoFanboy]

Sweet info.

[Matronedea]

That looks awesome. I'm not sure which I'll be playing the most when they all come out though: Black Ops, Medal of Honor (beta out on 360 today, woo!) or BFBC2: Vietnam. Hrm...

[SOAD]

Who's on your avatar?

[Reddit]

It's her.

[ChronoJoe]

It does look like there making an effort with this one at least. Looks higher resolution than other CODs, even. At the very least a fair bit more detailed, in general.

[Gago]

preordered

[ATi_Elite]

Why is the grenade launcher mounted to the rifle with a couple of straps? Like it wouldn't fly off and kill the user when fired.

Call of Duty has officially become just like Herpes Simplex 12, it just won't go away.

[NarooN]

Because if you knew anything about weapons (which you don't, because the closest you've probably ever become to handling a real weapon is firing them in videogames) is that the soldiers back then actually used weapons this way. It's the same as a banana-clip (two or more magazines taped together for quicker reloading). The grenade launcher itself is fired separately from the gun, it doesn't need to be magically locked in place by locking into the weapon itself in order to function.

[GoodSpeed]

it is locked in place by way of a railing system that also requires two pins to hold it in place. You must not have served in the military because all basic trainees are required to have hands-on time with the M203.

[HeroXIV]

I really like the head of Treyarch and seeing how the game is being made it's really cool. Love this type of stuff.

[ATi_Elite]

I like the part at 6:22 when the Mil-Vet talks about the muzzle not pointing down when talking to friendlies.

Maybe he should play STALKER or ARMA II because friendlies will tell you "hey get that weapon out my face" or other more aggressive sayings. lol

[NarooN]

Actually in STALKER, the only people who tell you to get the gun out of their faces are people who are neutral (yellow) with you. Enemies will automatically be hostile and friendlies (greens) never even say anything.

[madara0sama]

Looks like story mode is gonna be epic.

[PhantomT1412]

a guy in the studio though the same thing as me when I saw this footage: our character pointing the gun at our friendlies. It's a little matter but some shooters acutally care about it like R6 Vegas or Battlefield BC2. And he is their military advisor, so he should be able to influence Treyarch enough to put this feature in the final product.

EDIT: Facial expressions look amazing as promised, thanks to JC's Avatar-tech.

[jagstatboy]

ugh, it's gonna be hard to not buy this. I admit I need professional help.

[arjman]

They supported WaW like crazy and although it had it's problems it was still extremely fun!
MW2 pissed me off because they tried to add too much to the game (killstreaks, more attachments, primary weapons as secondaries, etc)

On another note doesn't the girl in this vid sound exactly like the hacker from Transformers 1 (not trying to be racist here)

[GoodSpeed]

How is that being racist?

[Scary69]

LMAO, I think he meant to say sexist. LOL I must say its funny to say a lot of complainers and I bet you, most of these complainers will be the FIRST in line to get this game. *sigh*

[Holeran]

I honestly think that world at war was every bit the game that MW1 was, I know i'm the minority with that statement but honestly I played them both a ton and found waw to be more satisfying. Now they both are a little bit better than MW2 and that was if MW2 had all the glitches fixed in the first place, as they are they both stand miles out in front of MW2. I think we are going to see great things from this game. And I must be seeing other video than most of the people bagging on the visuals of Black ops because it looks fantastic to me.

[loobtube]

If this game has tactical knife,commando and marathon,i'm pre-not getting it!!!
Plus all those efing killstreaks

[viking805fan]

Hopefully we can customize our actual characters and custom gun camos

[Convas]

I had already dismissed BO as a contender for my Holiday dollars ... but this ... this looks ... awesome. Grrrr. I really like what Treyarch is doing with the game, the direction they are looking to take BO in.

So like Matronedea, I'm caught between Medal of Honor and Call of Duty: Black Ops. Dammit.

[auen1]

it looks like treyarch is well on its way to surpassing infinity ward as the premier developer for the call of duty franchise with this effort.

[greeneggsnsam]

Dunno, Infinity Ward did a BRILLIANT job on MW2. That's going to be very hard to top.

[STICKzophrenic]

CoD4MW was brilliant, MW2 not so much.

The story was alright, but it was a little over the top. They also went overboard with MP adding so much crap to it. I would take CoD4 ANY day over MW2.

Black Ops campaign looks to be awesome. So far it doesn't seem like it'll be over the top, but who knows. I'll definitely get this eventually, but probably won't be at launch.

[xAlmostPro]

but so did mw2 before lunch -_-

tbh treyarch have a HUGE chance here, to make this the 'WOW' COD game that cod4 was.. to get rid of the shambles mw2 has brought upon us, and just get rid of the 'noob-friendlyness'

no deathstreaks, only a handgun as secondary, no commando, no juggernaught/painkiller, no lightweight, no one man army, no nukes or any other over powered killstreaks.. etc etc.

i hope they take this chance and run with it, i personally think they are an under rated studio.

[Holeran]

Please for god sakes at least get rid of commando, if nothing else that is the most bs i've ever seen. I know we've all heard the storys of 1 man taking out entire platoons with nothing but his combat knife and flying 40+ feet in .2 seconds while sticking said knife into another mans chest but I thought those were all just storys...... or maybe Chuck Norris.

[Tangostarr]

I think I will enjoy it as long as the DLC isn't overpriced. We'll have to see if I still want it in a month or so. Lots of shooters to choose from right now so if they want my money they better impress. The rest of my cash is going to other games like GT5, Fallout: New Vegas, and FFXIII Versus.

[writersblock]

GET THE FUCKING HINT

WE DONT WANT NOOBTUBES

[Karl Marx]

That old man was BADASS

[Ares84PS3]

I want to see!!!!!

[DaT1Guy]

NO

[frankymv]

very impressive
