Theater Mode

The Theater is a new feature in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It allows the player to record clips, piece them together and then upload them to their in-game file share and to the web. (Details for the web are soon to come). The recorder allows users to save gameplay, take screenshots and fast forward/rewind the videos. It also allows playback of the game from any perspective of the map, similar to how the Spectator Mode works. It has been confirmed to not be on the Wii version of the game due to technical limitations.

Theater Mode could be incredibly useful for Competitive Clans. After a match, the clan can re-watch the video and see how the fight went from all angles, and see where they did well and where they need improvement. They will be able to scan the map and see where snipers are hiding, where the majority of the action takes place, and even study the starting routes that the enemy players most often take after spawning, allowing them to plan ambushes and create more effective strategies.
