Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops

The date is confirmed as the cold war era(1945-1960). They also confirmed that player customization is going to be way more then MW2 or any other call of duty.

MP5K?
Wouldn't it be just an MP5 prototype, considering the MP5k is just a version ofthe MP5? Cpl.  Ross  21:55, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * No. It looks almost exactly like the MP5K, but with a different grip. 22:37, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

It looks like the MP5K, but upon closer examination, you can see that that is actually a folded stock. It has to be a prototype, because that was never actually made. The folded stock could have been used as a grip, but its actually not. Agreon 15:38, July 12, 2010 (UTC) Agreon

New G11 and China Lake Pump Action.
Thanks to who helped, Like Hax, Dolten, and more who was on the talk page of the weapons, As I have a feeling that the new G11 in the game, is gonna be sweet, 50 or 45 rounds, as for a assault rifle, and the China lake Pump action, I heard Lamia talk about it was on theb Commando in Payback, as I stated in Archive 9, last comment.

Campaign section with expansion template banner
Hey guys,

I am not really sure why "One of our forward unit pages is pinned down and needs expansion!" I do not really see how that section can be expanded, as it only covers the different levels/missions in the game that we currently know about. As there are not that many levels, we cannot expand upon it. I cannot see any point having the template; if there was more info that would need to be added then sure, but otherwise, no.

Attack Rhino (Talk - Contributions)01:39, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * ATM I don't see how the page needs to be "expanded" period. I'd say we have all the info that's out there right now. Darkman 4 01:51, July 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, so that template banner thing should then be taken down. Attack Rhino (Talk - Contributions)13:55, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Quote

 * "Mason, you fight like old Dimitri..."

When was this said? . 04:45, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

I got the same question. And, DUDE, Reznov can't say Dimitri is old FFS. BRX 16:24, July 7, 2010 (UTC)BRX

I am removing all referance of this quote until proof is found.

Maybe he [Reznov] didn't mean it as old Demitri but rather as ole Demitri? Just a thought.. El Jellyfisho 20:17, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

What he meant was Mason fought like Dimitri, meaning he is the New Dimitri. if you know what i mean. Dempsy115 20:34, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

OMFG Dimitri is dead

He sees him as a war hero, just as Reznov did Dimitri. Or maybe he means he has lots of close encounters. And, it may be an easter egg thing. Reznov doesn't have to say it, just whoever your commanding officer is, even though no one is going to know Dimitri as he is just another name on the Russian front to everyone else. So, its just an easter egg to mean that you are amazing, or get hurt and live a lot, even though Reznov and Dimitri are both long dead. Agreon 15:34, July 12, 2010 (UTC)Agreon


 * Reznov ain't dead in Black Ops. As you see [[File:Reznov 7.jpg]] he's chillin' in the tunnel. BRX 14:56, July 13, 2010 (UTC)BRX
 * I don't want to sound like the desperate kids but do you think dimitri will be in black ops? Warpanda13 15:04, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * There is no reason that he doesn't come back, but dudes from Treyarch said that Reznov is coming back. They would probably say it for Dimitri too if he would be coming back. BRX 11:37, July 14, 2010 (UTC)BRX

Co-Op Campaign
So what we know is that the co-op campaign will be entirely seperate from the SP campaign, but in an interview when asked about the zombie mode someone from Treyarch said (and I quote) "We cannot talk about the Co-op campaign at this time". Now this leads me to the rather obvious conclusion that the co-op campaign is a zombie campaign. If anybody could help me with the citing that would be great. El Jellyfisho 20:40, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Unless somebody from Treyarch outright says "the coop mode will be the zombie mode" we are not adding it. This page has been protected just to remove speculation, which is what your comment is. Darkman 4 02:51, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Modding/Hacking.
Man, I hope they add some sort of anti-cheat system like Valve's VAC system to stop all those modders and hackers that MW2 suffers from. Ouroboros Omega 17:09, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe treyarch won't be stupid enough to leave unfinished code (eg IW's gold desert eagle), and if there are grenade launchers, I will NOT buy the game. Cpl.  Ross  21:58, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

There will probably be a 99.9% chance of launchers being in multiplayer. What Treyarch can do however is make it so they only come with one shot and cannot be equiped along side danger close or fire works. 22:07, July 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * And that they are unlocked last as an attachment. BRX 23:32, July 9, 2010 (UTC)BRX
 * i think they should decrease the damage of the granade launcher and remove the ability to have a direct impact. remi305
 * I think we can be certain that grenade launchers will return in multiplayer, still have two shots etc etc and i would safely say you would be able to use a dangerclose type perk with it, other wise it would be useless as a perk. i guess treyarch will make it so you cant replenish them at all (i.e oma or scavenger type perks) and probs will be the last unlocked attachment, like in WaW --Ashwilso12 09:15, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Nah, they should leave its stats as they are but make it so that more grenades cannot be obtained (e.g. Scavenger), it should be the last attachment unlocked (it should be hard like trying to get the extended magazines upgrade in MW2) and the grenades should detonate automatically after a set distance (auto detonation shouldnt be as powerful as impact detonation for balance reasons or a new breed of grenade spamming may be born) either that or the grenades should cease to function after a set distance so they wont even explode or impact upon someone when they land (to prevent long-range spamming like on Wasteland on MW2). The most primrary concern I have though is things like 10th prestige hackers, rapid-fire button users and all of the other mods/hacks (like the one in MW2 that makes you move really fast backwards) Agreed? Ouroboros Omega 14:58, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the damage of the grenade launcher should be increased, and it should be the last attachment to unlock, it'd be good if it took something like 1000 kills to unlock, too. 18:38, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * GUY ABOVE ME: I totaly agree with that so experienced playes can haz break whal NOOBZ have to WORK
 * There are dedicated servers in BO. So, there won't be hacked-without-alert servers. Servers will be like in CoD4/CoD5. On Xbox/PS3 hacking is unfixable. SiPlus 12:20, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

3 questions about the Demo
1st. On the demo's, stage or another demo, When he gets to a weapon like a Ak-47, it's buttstock and the other wood parts are coloured.

2nd. When your entering a cave, about to take the hind, but when your in the cave, you see bodies ripped in half, but the question is, when swift gets stabbed, adn you walk in a big place with Viet Cong fighters, they shoot you, and you pretty much die, And do you not play with the same guy in Payback?

3rd: Pause at 1:29 on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGAfhNbfphk&feature=related, it is slowed down, who is that guy? is it a ghost? a zombie? a general? what? Gsgt. Trayvin 17:15, July 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * 2nd: I think you CAN kill the Viet Cong in that big place. It looks like there is just 2 of them, but Mark Lamia screwed it up while he was playing. He also almost died in Payback before entering the Hind.
 * 3rd: I saw some other analysis where they say more of these characters were shown (like these dudes |here said at 4:00) and that they are from Create a Class 2.0. BRX 20:25, July 10, 2010 (UTC)BRX

_ _ _ _
 * 1) That isn't even a question, it's just an observation. But yes, it is indeed an AK-47. The name appears when he walks over it. It is not some other AK variant.
 * 2) You don't die, the guy playing just sucks. You still play as the same guy.
 * 3) Hard to tell. I'm not going to make any assumptions. Imrlybord7 20:32, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, just replying to the 3rd question. I believe that this will be the HUD in the Create A Class 2.0 system where you can customise your MP character. This is supported in this IGN video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=292tCSCvFQY&feature=related at 3:57 minutes Tom LV69 09:24, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Imrlybord7, it's a WASR-2. Just because it says it's an AK-47 doesn't mean it is one. 92.27.77.163 23:00, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, shut up. BRX 20:17, July 21, 2010 (UTC)BRX

1. Yeah, That might be changed. But it is an AK type weapon

2. You don't die, Mark Lamia isn't all that great at the game. I only saw 1 guy at the end, and I'm sure you, me, Bord, or anyone on this wiki could've taken him.

3. That looks creepy... I don't know what it is.

Talking Characters
It should be noted that thsi is the first Call of Duty game, or atleast the first Treyarch game, where the playable character speaks whilst playing as them. Kranitoko (talk) 21:25, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

DVK
I was just reading a thread on the Treyarch forums that was stating that DVK (Damage View Kick) should be removed from the game so that instead of your screen and your sights jumping when you are shot (e.g. MW2), just the screen would jump to let you know that you have been hit (+bloody screen effect + damage indicator) but your gun will not be affected by a sudden jump when ADS (e.g. COD4:MW) and thus this would correct some of the imbalance issues caused by DVK. I would have posted this on the discussion page for MW2 but one of posts in the thread was by Vahn (cant remember his full name or his position but his account had employee ID) who stated that DVK was going to be used in COD:BO. DVK was meant to help low-skill players but has simply resulted in most fights coming down to who shoots first and whose gun has less recoil (The ACR causes lots of DVK due to its high rate of fire and low recoil thus resulting in constant view jumps). At any rate I just thought that I should pass this along so that people can have a chance to object or applaud this decision.

BTW I am against DVK but to each their own right?

Link: http://www.callofduty.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=244798&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&sid=082cdaf0957eb75f5bc97680c815e582

Also, just a quick heads up if you use the link, beware of the posts by a guy named Vileself, He is a blatant troll who has been banned from the IW forums and he posts alot in the thread.

Anyone else have anything to say on this subject? Ouroboros Omega 23:39, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

You know they could just remove DVK but keep the screen jump and just add directional damage indicators so that the screen jumps to notify you of taking a hit and you know which direction you have been shot at from but your aim isnt thrown off so a counter-attack becomes possible like in COD4. DVK is the reason why so many have trouble hardscoping or using SMGs. Ouroboros Omega 23:28, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I partially agree, but imagine that you got a silenced weapon and shoot a camper with a sniper. He could easily kill you. I'm not really sure what should they do. BRX 11:14, July 14, 2010 (UTC)BRX

 * That site is truly awful. I find it notably funny that they merged their 'News' and 'Speculation' pages together now. --Ashwilso12 09:16, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

All of the guns shown there have screenshots from trailers. Except the M16, which does not have a picture from black ops. Bumblebeeprime09 22:24, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it's been highly speculated that the M16 is one of the guns on the person in the cover's back, and that's why it's been added there. Also, I find it notably funny that you call the site awful without anything to back that statement up other than the fact that they removed the Speculation section so that all News would be in one feed. F Brushfire 22:43, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

I agree, the gun has not been seen in-game. But the evidence points to it being a likely inclusion. It has been seen in promo material, such as the magazine cover used in the sites listing. Also, the M16 was basically the gun of the Vietnam War. I would be very surprised if it did not appear in the game. And by all means, DO NOT disrespect the CBON community. It is a great site with great people who care about the game, and there is nothing wrong with that. Peace! Mike1094 00:00, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Ed here (aka CoDBlackOpsNews admin) - good to hear all the positive feedback! Seriously though, we included M16A1 because it was seen on a Spanish magazine cover before Black Ops was announced, and also on the French OXM cover when that was announced. (http://img835.imageshack.us/i/callofduty7magazinecove.jpg/ and http://img835.imageshack.us/i/oxmfr.jpg/ )

Also, I'm not quite sure what you mean about merging the News and Speculation - do you mean on the main page or in terms of weapons? I agree that the website still definitely needs improvements, and although a lack of time dictates that I can't make all the improvements I'd like as quickly as I like, I'm always trying to improve.

Anyway, I said on our forums: "In my opinion, we're not competing with CoD Wiki, they provide hands-down the best factual information on Call of Duty, we try to impart as much as possible to the masses." 86.151.149.81 00:03, July 20, 2010 (UTC) Ed

Bad news everyone... and I mean REALLY bad news.
Activision may press for MP subscription fees.

Link: http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/110/1106742p1.html

So for xbox 360 players like me that means we have to pay for live, buy the game and then pay for a monthly subscription or something to play the MP online.

Those guns will probably all be in the game. If you have a good eye, you can see that the guns are actually air soft replicas, which likely indicates Treyarch wanted to experience what it was like holding one of those guns so they can program that into the character model or whatever. 20:22, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
