Call of Duty: Black Ops (Nintendo DS)




 * For the console and PC version, see Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Call of Duty: Black Ops (Nintendo DS) is the Nintendo DS version of Call of Duty: Black Ops. It was confirmed on July 27, 2010. The game itself is to be released on November 9, 2010.

New Features
Call of Duty: Black Ops (Nintendo DS) will have many new features like a Perks system for the 6-player online multiplayer. N-Space has announced that the multiplayer experience has changed dramatically. The game will also have a unique 2 player co-op.

For players who don't like to aim with the stylus, there will be an alternative control scheme. There is also an improved user interface. The player can tap an icon to switch the current weapon for a new one, like past DS games, or drag the weapon into an inactive button to add to their inventory without replacing the weapon they're using currently. An auto-lock on feature will be available to use in the Recruit and Regular difficulties.

The player will also take control of an attack helicopter and an experimental stealth figher jet.

The Arcade and Challenges modes will be returning. The game will also feature achievements.

As the n-Space Studio Head, Dan O'Leary, says, "Call of Duty: Black Ops for the Nintendo DS is going to take the handheld Call of Duty experience to a new level. From taking the controls of an attack helicopter to flying an experimental stealth fighter jet, players will have a wealth of new features to utilize."

Campaign
The DS game's storyline will see players assuming the role of a CIA-backed operative. The game's storylines and missions are meant to provide a different perspective and fill in on the overall story. A time period was not specifically mentioned, though it will likely share that of the other versions, which take place during the Cold War. Treyarch and n-Space have been stingy with story details thus far, but the console versions will apparently feature such loaded locales as Cuba and Vietnam.

Confirmed Weapons
Black Ops is set to have an expansive arsenal of weapons, including weapon types that have not seen much use in past games, namely shot-guns and sniper rifles. So far, these are the only ones to appear in screen shots:
 * PPSh-41.
 * PPS-42.
 * Knife.
 * AR-15 variant (possibly M16A1).
 * Handgun. (Likely Hush Puppy).

Trivia

 * Sniper rifles possibly will return in multiplayer, as in an interveiw with IGN, n-Space said that Black Ops will see more use of specific weapon types, most notably sniper rifles and shotguns.
 * The aiming crosshairs are said to improve.
