The Upgraded Iron Sights is most notably something that I'm glad to see more info on!

Cincinnati5342d ago

yeah I usually use Iron sights Im happy about this

Losi5342d ago

I'd say that the inclusion of flamethrowers is one of the things I'm looking forward to most.

AllroundGamer5342d ago

there are so many BO articles, that we already know everything before the game even comes out :D

JeffGUNZ5342d ago

It's good that Treyarch is open to informing us. I think they realized they have something to prove since MW2 was such a let down to most people. I think they revealed a lot of the multiplayer to assure COD fans that the series is heading back to the COD4 roots, which is something I am pumped for. From what I have seen, this game MAY pass COD4 as the best COD to date.

Only a week and a half till we know!

BulletToothtony5342d ago

i think that it would've surpassed it, if it went back to 3, 5, and 7 killstreaks only like in cod4.. all this bullcrap killstreaks is what makes it very annoying...

even if they don't count towards your next killstreak on this one..

not hating on black ops.. i'm buying it and excited but that's what i see wrong with the new cods

JeffGUNZ5341d ago

I do see where your coming from, but I do like the variety in killstreaks. As long as they are balanced and work, then it should be fine. I like in this game, you have to select where your chopper hovers, instead of a pavelow picking people off from across the map. MW2 killstreaks were too overpowered and ruined the game. I mean you could be dominating a team, but have one opponent camping and get a harrier, then chopper gunner, then a nuke and game over. It was terribly implemented.

Ven10005341d ago

They've already confirmed Classic Team Deathmatch mode with standardized killstreaks of 3, 5, and 7. So I don't see what the problem is.

kdogdaddy5342d ago

@AllAroundGamer, I'll have to admit, As an avid Call of Duty fan, the upcoming Black Ops release is definitely one in which we as the community have had the most info regarding just about everything involved before game launch.

InfinityWard went for a super secretive approach to multiplayer footage while Treyarch went instead for the avenue of continuing their support to the community and keeping them involved several steps along the way. Let's hope its for the better!

JeffGUNZ5342d ago

Exactly, nicely said. I truely think that this game is going to be the best COD to date.

scar205342d ago

i'm gonna see if using the flamethrower is a cheap way of playing i get my copy in a few hours:).

AllroundGamer5342d ago

i hate you (envy look)... but i like your ass :p

kdogdaddy5342d ago

Ditto to both statements ;)

Losi5342d ago

That was my main concern...interested to see not only how easily accessible, but also how over powered the flamethrower is in Black Ops. Im thinking something along the lines of the range of a shotgun...hopefully nothing even close to something like the FAL shotty in MW2.

vickers5005341d ago

From what I played of it in multiplayer in world at war, the flamethrower was very weak. Almost always, whenever going head to head against somebody with bullets, the person with the gun won. I think it will be pretty underpowered if it's anything like WaW, so that's a good thing.

The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.

FPS_D3TH123d ago

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Knushwood Butt123d ago

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Abear21123d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

M_Prime123d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils122d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

Good hopefully cheating will be normalized.

anast145d ago (Edited 145d ago )

Most PC gamers cheat and the ones that don't have an advantage, as KB and mouse is the only way to play shooters seriously.
