Crossbow


 * For the weapon in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized see Explosive Tip Crossbow

Overview
The Crossbow is a new weapon that will be featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is speculated to fulfill the role of a quiet, long range weapon. The crossbow appears in the campaign mission "WMD', which is set in the Ural Mountains, 1968. Crossbows can have different types of bolts which it can fire, such as normal bolts and Explosive bolts . The crossbow is a military grade crossbow that can attach a scope, which the player can steady much like a sniper rifle. This weapon is almost identical to the Explosive Tip Crossbow in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized. It is currently unknown if the Crossbow will appear in other missions and/or multiplayer. In the uncut reveal trailer, the crossbow seems to be fairly accurate when fired from the hip, as the player hits an enemy who is in the middle of the screen, without hard/quick scoping.
