Treyarch blows the lid off Black Ops multiplayer; new modes, bots, and gun customization revealed

VG247 writes: Hey, isn’t Black Ops the sequel to some kind of multiplayer thingamajig? Call of Something or Other? Modern Whatsit? So, what’s new? Well, Treyarch’s been pretty tight-lipped

... Until now.

I wonder if the bots can be co-op?
I loved Unreal Tournament when my son and I were killing bots.

We all know how effective AI is when it comes to Co-op. AI in co-op is good for about 3 things.

1) Getting in your way
2) Wasting ammo
3) Making the situation worse by getting shot and having to be rescued

As much as I hate activision, Im maybe going to try this one out... No more commando perk is a plus and no more Nuke too... Killzon3 is only coming out next year... Gt5 will satisfy my simulation game needs, but I dont like dead space and I played the medal of honor beta and it felt have cooked... So cod is the only mp I have before KZ3 comes out :( ... Im sorry guys FORGIVE ME !!!

Ummm..Bad Company 2 is the best war game you can get on a console 2day. And the Ultimate Edition just came out. Black Ops will probably be fantastic, but I KNOW the DLC prices will be ridiculous. U can get BC2 ta hold you out until KZ3 comes out, but if ur getting GT5..can't u play MP on that??

Bad Company 2 gets kind of boring after you unlock everything. And the fact that there have been no new maps as of yet, makes playing on the same maps over and over again kind of boring.

Besides, shooters are only fun for like the first 3 months (3 month maximum), and many people (including myself) are burned out on Bad Company 2. Not to mention, Bad Company 2 isn't really the arcadey shooter that I crave, it's more of a tactical skill based game, which is fine, but I'm burnt out on tactics, and just want to get tons and tons of kills in a really fast paced game (which Bad Company 2 is definitely not).

They also took out One Man Army

The game does look fun I hate to admit it. Dont be surprised when it outsells mw2 and breaks its record.I will more than likely buy it.

[siyrobbo]

i think treyarch may have outdone infinity ward with this one

i didnt rate mw2's multiplayer, it was ok but felt unbalanced

i just hope the campaign lasts longer than 4 hours

[divideby0]

^ yea greater than 4 hrs + not a bunch of missions just tacked onto each other, talk about a cop out for a REAL SP campaign

[vickers500]

Josh Olin said in an interview (can't find the link at the moment) that the campaign is comparable to that of World at Wars campaign, which I believe was pretty long.

"Hey Guys here's Dedicated Servers, you wanted choice in who you buy them from. TOUGH SHIT"

And such the way of Activision continues

[jdktech2010]

Wow, so you want cake and be able to eat it? Activision is just keeping you from being overweight, you should thank them.

No but seriously, people are just complaining to complain at this point. It happens with Halo, COD and anything popular that isn't on the PS3 because we all know where we are and what that means.

[tdrules]

complaining about the limiting of a standardised feature that is a staple of online gaming.
gee im such a dick

[Freshnikes]

Man this game is looking like a lot of fun....one thing I'm not liking is the graphics..or maybe this video wasn't in HD,

[scar20]

Does anyone know if black ops will have aim assist if u could pm me with an answer i would appreciate it.

[divideby0]

its still COD which is dominated by camp, shoot, move, camp, shoot move.....yawn

[FuturePerfect]

Someone would do a game like TimeSplitters 2. 4 player off-line split-screen mode with bots
