34A
Whatching the second trailer, directly after the space race slide there is a picture of a rifle and the lettering 34A. Operation 34A was "a highly-classified U.S. program of covert actions against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV or North Vietnam), consisting of agent team insertions, aerial reconnaissance missions and naval sabotage operations. Though begun in 1961 by the Central Intelligence Agency, in 1964 the program was transferred to the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam Studies and Observations Group (SOG) during Operation Parasol/Switchback. The SOG was the cover name for a multi-service unconventional warfare task force under the direct guidance and control of the Pentagon." To quote wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_34A this obviously is part of plot and afirmes the player will take part in those missions.
 * highly likely considering the locations and time placement. bit speculative however, i mean it is just 2numbers and a letter. but if it does have relevance you are def on to something. guess we'll just have to wait eh --Ashwilso12 20:41, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

M16?
Jarhead68 20:59, May 24, 2010 (UTC) When you look at the character who has the M1911 that says "sally", on his back, there are two AR-15 platforms. The one on the right is a CAR-15 or XM177E2, you can tell by the extended flash suppresor, while so the one on his right side is what I belive to be an M-16, you can tell this by the long skiny barrel, the only other weapon that looks moderately like that is the M4, and that wasn't even in existance until the late 90s. So, either m16 will return, this will have parts set in the 90s, or the guys at treyarch messed up.Jarhead68 20:59, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Actually......the M16 has been around since the 1960's so the guys at Treyarch did not mess up. 23:17, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think he's referring to the M4. Darkman 4 23:25, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yo, i think it is M16A1 or M16A2 for sure. The picture maybe is a M4 or CAR-15 or other weapon like that. Blaziken8942 06:46, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

The "There is a rumor that Activision may make user pay to play online" or what ever it is, should be removed from trivia. It's just a rumor that EVERY! CoD fan knows about.  Conqueror of  all Zombies  Ta lk  00:18, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

Could've made a new section. But isn't it a little hypocritical to tell all users who edit the page not to include rumours, and then go and add ones yourselves? F Brushfire 12:25, May 26, 2010 (UTC) It's most likely a CAR-15 since it has a shorter barrel than the M16 and, like they said, the M4 wasn't available 'till the 90's. 135twilight 22:48, May 27, 2010 (UTC)135twilight

Story
Has anyone noticed that the trailer strongly hints some sort consiricy theory? I'd add it myself but the page is locked down. General Geers 10:54, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

Well, the idea is that you are some type of spy, because you are doing observation work in the Urals, but then again, you are a front line soldier for some of the Viet Nam part. And then again, the torture instruments in the trailer are suspicious. I do believe it is geared around cold war conspiracies, sorta like if you search GKNOVA6 in Google groups, you get all sorts of pages related to JFK Assassination conspiracies. Also, people add things you have noticed about the main player. Agreon 23:19, May 26, 2010 (UTC)Agreon

The character seams to be a lefty. When your Sergent or whoever that is throws the SPAS-12 at you, it is caught like you are a leftie shooter. Just an observation. The guns are held like they are for a right handed though. Agreon 23:19, May 26, 2010 (UTC)Agreon

Well, I'm right handed and I catch with my left hand, so I don't think that him catching with his left hand and holding his gun like a right handed person is very signifigant. I think you may be right about the conspiracy theory though. General SkullRod  10:22, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with SkullRod, I think he caught it with his left because of the way it flew at him. Just a fluke. General Geers 10:58, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, if you note, it looks as if the guy that threw it to you was holding it himself, meaning he would be holding the grip in his right hand. That means, when he throws it, the grip is lined up with your left hand. Thus, there's really no other way to catch it.

But I agree, there seems to be a bit more to the story than the typical Vietnam and other places stuff. I mean, Treyarch probably isn't making a bunch of random missions placed throughout different countries, at least, I hope not. Surely there's some interrelating theme between them all (and don't call me Shirley).

Oorah! 15:04, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

^^Rumored on G4 that the missions will be set in Cold War, WWII, Vietnam, and other major battles. Hope this is NOT the case. KillerKing17 22:58, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Trailer music
Just thought I'd let you all know, it's: "And your world will burn" by Cliff Lin.

Sorry if this isn't uncommon news. 69.254.53.223 23:28, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Isn't uncommon? Haha, that's fine, nice find. General SkullRod  02:11, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah thanks. Do you know what the COD5 trailer song is? General Geers 06:55, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Which trailer? I might be able to find the song. By the way, this is the 69.254 guy. I just logged on because I was lazy. Iwalkalone332 12:50, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

The longer one that has "No Rules" No Fear" "No Mercy" "Only Chaos". Sorry not sure about the specific type. General Geers 01:48, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Black Ops World trailer Revealer: SPAS-12 special ammo
Hello, my name is Tom_LV69

I wanted to talk about the world trailer of the Black Ops game, here is a point i want to make.

Link to the world Trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFC61XTjtSI

________________________________________________

The world premire trailer revealed a bit about the SPAS-12 shotgun.

Follow the world trailer link above to YouTube and watch the video and pause it at 1:04 minutes.

If you look closey, it looks as if the SPAS-12 is firing incindary or "Dragon's-Breath" shotgun rounds, could this be true??

Tom LV69 19:31, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * It is firing Dragons Breath. Darkman 4 19:33, May 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, we already have a page on it see: Dragons Breath. Doltensig.jpeg 19:35, May 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes it is, in fact I reported this some time ago. Check back on the last archive. 19:34, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * It is similar to the Left 4 Dead 2 Incenary Rounds but why only SPAS-12 can use while other can't? This suck when can't use on other weapon. Blaziken8942 06:50, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Treyarch Developer Interview

 * New gametrailers interview with some high ranking big wig at treyarch. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2010-call-of/100689 http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2010-call-of/100687 pretty common stuff but he says the guy with the tattoos' name is woods. we will see him in various parts of his military career (in part 2). i seriously bet you play as a character, time progresses and your previous character is now the antagonist, so you have to kill youself. --Ashwilso12 20:08, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Call of Duty: Black Ops
The page needs updating as IGN have confirmed that the PC version of Black Ops witll have dedicated servers.

Actually the Treyarch developer said it himself in an interview.

Missions
Could someone add "Slaughter House " in the Missions? M901 (TALK) 23:59, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. Darkman 4 00:17, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Those are all from the trailers. Nothing new except the angle of the shot. Sorry. General Geers 07:38, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Weapon(?)
if you look at 0:17 in the debut trailer there is a report on some sort of gas and a variant of tabun. As far as I've figured it says:


 * unkown* to be underway involving varaints of Tabun,


 * unknown* and an unknown gas of *pothly(?)* far greater potential.


 * unknown* every member of the 2.O.G train in the field.

And then it goes off screen. Also you can see a sniper rifle in the background at 0:16.

If anyone has an image enchancer try and work it out and post it here. General Geers 09:58, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Dedicated Servers Confirmed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N2OPwOwbyo&playnext_from=TL&videos=iq-i_DG5aQA&feature=sub

Right at the end, Treyarch man says, "And yes, the PC version will have dedicated servers" -  10:32, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

co-op,zombies?
treyarch states that the coop mode will be a different story to campaign, does this hint at a zombie mode? can someone back me up with the actual quote?

86.31.244.243 10:34, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

According to what I've read. There's an entirely different campaign for co-op. General Geers 10:59, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Proofread what you write
"Rumors that Activision is planning on charging a fee for the multiplayer use of Call of Duty: Black Ops have popped up, cuaing some panic amogst fans."

Yeah, I don't think "cuaing" and "amogst" are words. Anyway, not only this this just a rumour that you admins tell the members not to put on the page all the time, but it's also a rumour that is probably bs as it came up when MW2 came to be released. Shouldn't even be on the page, truthful or not. F Brushfire 13:55, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Charging for gameplay?
Can you confirm this? Like any links from IGN or Xbox or something? This has been a rumor for a lot of upcoming games, ever since WaW, and typically it's people starting it who do not like the Game/Company/Title. I've heard a lot of rumors from multiple sources on PS3 charging their gameplay, but nothing on CoD:BO being charged indvitdually. I would consider this a rumor and take it off the article unless evidence can be given.

I don't like Activision, but I don't think their that evil to where they'll charge the gamers, that's just idiotic on their part.<3 PFC.Stockholm 15:20, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

'''Just read above, sorry for the double post on the same topic, I just skimmed over your post before I posted this, and figured it was on proofreading, not the charging. PFC.Stockholm 15:21, May 29, 2010 (UTC)'''

AK-74?
Is the AK-74 going to be in the game? AK-47's magazine is curved more like a circle, and AK-74's isn't, like this one in the picture from the Uncut Reveal Traielr.

Either an AK-74 or a AK-47 with a special magazine/ammo. Slowrider7 17:48, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

It looks like an AK-74 with a special Magazine. -- CodExpert 17:50, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
