Sticks and Stones



Sticks and Stones is a Wager game mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Sticks and Stones consists of 6 players competing in a Free-For-All style game. Everyone's loadout consists a Crossbow, Ballistic knife, and a Tomahawk. Like a Free-For-All game, points are earned from kills, and the match ends when one player reaches the point limit or if the time runs out. However, if a player manages to kill another with a crossbow or ballistic knife, they will "bankrupt" the target. Also, if a player commits suicide with Crossbow, they humiliate themselves and get "bankrupted". If a player is "bankrupted", they lose all points earned so far in the match; they will have to start over from 0 points. To win, a player must reach one of the 3 highest scores once the time limit is reached.

Trivia

 * Sticks and Stones is also the name of a Death Card cheat from Call of Duty: World at War.
 * Players who are good with tomahawks have a distinct advantage in this mode, as it can boost them up to first place very quickly.
 * There are constant radar sweeps in this gamemode, probably to prevent camping or boosting.
 * This is the only Wager Match where the player can have a primary and secondary weapon.
 * This is the only Wager Match to only feature two secondary type weapons to use in the game.
 * The radar shows the person coming in first place as a gold dot, thus making it easier for other players to find and bankrupt him.
 * Any form of suicide also results in humiliation. This includes death by the player's own crossbow, so an effective tactic is to attempt to kill the player who shot the bolt by running at him.
 * If you have mic, when you get stuck, the best thing to do is scream, " FUCK YOU ", and run into them, effectively screwing them.
