That's definitely the 360 version. You can see the 360 dpad in the corner, and that isn't mouse movement.

Either way, the PC version will have a little feature called 'dedicated servers', which are self governed with 'admins', so they can use tools like 'kick', and 'ban'.

These sorts of features are useful for ridding your server of cheaters.

I like the summary...

"the glory of dedicated servers is returning"

Like dedicated servers are a downside.

toaster4973d ago (Edited 4973d ago )

People forget that dedicated servers have been a staple of PC FPS multiplayer, it was only MW2 that broke that trend. And MW2 being the big production it was, the industry treated it like it was a big deal when only it was one game. One very broken and depressing game.

Is Black Ops using PunkBuster or VAC?

[EDIT]

Derp, it's not Steam only so it'll use PunkBuster. Shame.. VAC is so much better.

Deputydon4972d ago

Actually Black ops is a steam exclusive from what I've heard. I already know in multiple interviews they have said that they are dropping punkbuster and using VAC instead.

Just because you can buy a PC game in the store, doesn't mean it won't force you to download steam to play it.

toaster4972d ago (Edited 4972d ago )

Ahh well that's news to me. Last I heard it was using PunkBuster. Server browsing through Steam is so much better.

I thought I saw it on D2D the other day, not sure why you would be able to get it from there and then have to install Steam.

Pandamobile4972d ago

COD:BO uses Steamworks.

D2D and Impulse and all the other major DD sites gave up trying to fight Steam by not selling games that required Steam, but I'm sure that didn't turn out too well for them.

lol...shows tht CoD is still broken even after being fixed and it aint even released yet...

T9X694972d ago

Yes it's the 360 version, but you do realize this is being played on a JTAG which is why he's playing by himself. JTAG Xbox's can make any game do anything they want. Since the new dashboard has been released, which increases MS security, JTAGs will be banned before they even have a chance to start hosting lobbies like this in Black Ops. No game is unhackable, the popular games just get hit first because....well they're popular.

@toaster - BlackOps is using VAC (it requires steamworks)

wow...watching that was so annoying, he just kept bumping into things, and did you see the little grass texture from the top view at around 46 seconds, lol (i know that is how a lot of devs make grass, and leaves on trees in games, just seemed funny seeing it so obvious from that view)

Redjevel4972d ago

Thats only options that can be changed in server like gravity, speed and other stuff... Thats not hax :)

electricshadow4972d ago

I'm not one to defend CoD, I don't even like the CoD games anymore, but TONS of games have hacks in them. No doubt this article will be filled with comments like the one above or similar to "LOL Cod got hacked already lololol crap game". This won't be a problem on the PC version as already indicated above as well. Either way, I don't care as I'm not getting the game. Just don't know why people are making such a big deal about it.

EscoBlades4972d ago (Edited 4972d ago )

Is that the beta though? Cos if the full game has been hacked already, then Treyballs failed harder!

The MP servers aren't even online yet....

Edit: Never mind...unlike the author of the article, i actually did some research. These hacks are offline (consoles), and not the retail version.

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.

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."
