Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops

Black ops sorta already came out right?
Didnt we have a blog saying that Uk would get Anal Rape on the 3rd or 4th and if so wouldnt that mean it already came out?Sgt Sprinkles 21:55, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

Nope, I believe it comes out everywhere on the 9th. The only people playing it right now are the people with Jtagged Xboxes.--WouldYouKindly 22:18, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * IIRC there are also a few people playing the PS3 version as well. Darkman 4 23:07, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Many people have a retail copy, and the ISO was leaked so bothe flashed xbox's and JTAGs are playing. (Along with those that managed to get a real copy). --Cc123 02:07, November 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah I was a bit tired when I wrote that. I forgot about the fact that some of the smaller retailers break street dates.--WouldYouKindly 02:08, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

Well I live in the UK, my friend got it just yesterday (Pre-Ordering bastard), so I'm guessing it did come out on the 9th everywhere. ForeignHedgehog 07:54, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

Trivia
I found some trivia that the care package crate does no longer kill you by falling on you it can be seen at 3 minutes in this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDVm8yAGNpg also in that vid shows you vote out of two maps, or random map. Also new map called Nuketown (unsigned)


 * The care package is only shown to not kill team mates in core game modes in that video. No official videos have shown what happens if it falls on you or on an enemy. This tweet may hint that the care package drop can kill enemines but isn't really conclusive:
 * @DaftTank Wow. Rare. No idea! Would test personally and find out from sheer morbid curiosity, but not in the office. Traveling.


 * In response to this question:
 * @DavidVonderhaar Hey if i drop a Care Package on a person will it still count towards my killstreak?? Codemaker 22:03, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

new map and combat training
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r881se-RHRo here it is even through i hate ign they gave us rights to post lil bit of leaked stuff well more like unleaked it and i think the map is firing range - littleNemo

question
are black ops and call of duty 4 amd modren warfare 2 set in the same 'universe'

Wut...I understand the question, but I...I just don't know how to answer without flaming...IIID Empire 11:34, Nov.4,10

Yes. The difference is Modern Warfare in the future. Smuff [ The cake is a lie. ] 21:52, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

Well actually I'd have to say no because well there was no mention of any events in any of the MWs. And they are made by two diffrent companys and does anyone else remember how mad IW got when Treyarch put 3 in the CoD3 title so why would they let them use the same universe. Heres how I see it theres the Modern Warfare universe the Black Ops universe the World War 2 universe and the Nazi zombies. Sniper team  82308  02:17, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

sniper team is partially right. all IW COD's have made small refrences to each other, and all treyarch's games as well. There "universes" go as followed: WW2, IW's Modern Warfare, Treyarch's World at War- Black ops and zombies.


 * The reasons being the WW2 games (pre COD4) are all very similar in the way they were played, treyarch's games were expantions excluding Cod3.


 * Modern warfare revolves around the same conflict, modified to each respected game, main characters return, and deceased main characters are referenced.


 * Black ops is classified in the Treyarch recent history (1935-present) universe. Black Ops makes refrences to WAW and main characters return in the cold war era.

all that to say Black ops is in WAW's universe at a time period similar to Modern Warfare.
 * Zombies are a stand alone universe, still in recent history, because zombies aren't considered WAW "canon". no where in WAW's canon campaign are zombies referenced.

GETreal 22:08, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

If you look at the walls of the Asylum during Ring of Steel you will notice that there are the drawings of zombies on the walls. Conqueror of all Zombies 22:13, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

it just looks like people drawn in blood.

Rc-1136 actually on the intel in black ops for the last mission redemption Ryan says The SAS is going to send him a young team cpt named johnathan (it's redacted) and it mentions this cpts last name again but it's redacted as well it's a short name cpt johnathan price is the name I'm 90% sure cpt price from iw is mentioned cpt prices name from iw is John and he was a very young SAS member during black ops Treyarch may have price in an expansion or sequel due to iw not able to use him anymore read the intel for further speculation

Black Ops Campaign Levels
There are 15 campagin levels.

Operation 40 -- Vorkuta -- U.S.D.D. -- Executive Order -- S.O.G. -- The Defector -- Numbers -- Project Nova -- Victor Charlie -- Crash Site -- WMD -- Payback -- Rebirth -- Revelations -- Redemtion

Here is a picture I took as proof: (Removed it) --Cc123 02:05, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

Multiplayer Gametypes
In the 1 hour gamespot video at about 2:25 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDVm8yAGNpg), David Vonderhaar says that there are possibly Hardcore, Core, and Barebones variations for each game mode.


 * So you know the game as probably 'core' and a lot of people also know the 'hardcore' version of the game which removes the HUD and makes the game deadlier. But there's also a 'barebones' variation of every game mode; or there could be... - David Vonderhaar

He then goes on to describe what the barebones variation consts of. The gametypes section should probably be updated to reflect the fact that there will be a barebones variation on some game modes. David Vonderhaar also posted a tenative list of game modes in the CoDHQ forums That was over a month ago, so that list probably isn't current anymore. It does demonstrate that the playlists probably won't be organized like MW2's playlists were and will probably be organized more like WaW's playlists were. codemaker 18:19, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

Spellcheck
Maybe it's just the "American" spelling but isn't it "Theatre" not "Theater"? 124.148.160.197 14:05, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

This wiki uses American English.Sgt.Sandwich | Talk shop | Combat record  14:06, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

What are you trying imply with those quotes?

Leaked info
All mentions of "Redemption", "Rebirth," "Project Nova" and the achievment/troph list need removed. As the only confirmation we have of them is from a leaked achievment list. 76.4.78.222 14:11, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Project Nova does exist. You can watch the entire level being played at gameanyone.com. --LOST-The Cartographer 18:21, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thats even more leaked info but it was a good mission.Sgt Sprinkles 14:43, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Finished watching those vids, and Rebirth and Redemption also are levels. However there is also one in between called Revelation(s).  Can't wait to play it! --LOST-The Cartographer 01:18, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

Regarding Leaked Info
Can you please not delete any more leaked info? It's gonna be put back up in 2 days (depending on your time zone) anyway. On a side note, new zombie power up: http://au.gamespot.com/ps3/action/callofduty7workingtitle/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-57022392&pid=960188. General Geers 09:07, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Sacrificial Lamb trophy
It sounds easy doesn't it? Kill six zombies after getting hit with a bolt from a PaP crossbow. The trick is, the PaP crossbow shoots red lasers that have the same effect as the Monkey Bomb. So by shooting somebody with said crossbow you are potentially damning them as all zombies will follow the marked player. 124.148.160.197 15:43, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Yep most PaP other weapons are support weapons but since its leaked we cant add that.Sgt Sprinkles 15:52, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Black Ops Weapon Damage
Can anyone confirm the damage stats for Black Ops weapons are accurate?

Youre going to have to wait for the game to come out mate - littleNemo

Prestige Unlocks
Are these confirmed or leaked??? Or was this already leaked? http://blackops.digitalwarfare247.com/news/black-ops-multiplayer-info-week-44

I wonder what the difference between face tattoo and facepaint is... - Nomats3

all Black ops Prestige emblems from 1-15
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVc7nb3XJMQ here it is its likely real due the fact we have seen number 14 and 15 in gameplays - littleNemo

Black Ops jeep
After the n00b azuris wouldn't do it on IRC, I'm doing a formal request here.

Apparently, there is a special Call of Duty: Black Ops jeep on sale for $30k. Source here.

Anyone mind of adding that?  Commander W567123daniel Wanna Talk? 00:27, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

Price
How much does the hardened edition cost in Australian dollars? Hunter Steven 05:43, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

The game needs some additional information. First, you need to add a Nazi Germany or at least remants of nazi forces to the enemy list, as well as british commandos. You fight them both in an arctic level "Project Nova".

Also, large body of WW2 weapons are in the game, namely Mp40, Stg 44, Kar98k, Ppsh-41, Sten, Mossin-Nagant. At least they are in single player, so they are still in game. Regardless they are in multiplayer or not.

I have no idea what this has to do with the hardened editions price. Hunter Steven 08:44, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

WW2 elements in this game
This game features a nazi germans as enemies at the "Project Nova" level, you also fight british commandos. Its a flashback mission and it means loads of WW2 weapons are in the game as well. Like Mp40, Stg44, Mosin-Nagant, Ppsh-41, Sten gun.

The End that Marks a New Beginning
Well, here it is, with just 6 hours left until the game is released, all of us (or most of us) will finally get our hands on Call of Duty Black Ops. The last couple of months have really gone by really fast (as if you didn't know). Heck, it feels like yesterday when we heard Black Ops coming out this November 9th. Since their creation, our Black Ops articles have slowly grown with bits of information coming from here and there until they became the articles they are today. Countless users have provided the admins with new info, videos, correctional errors, pictures etc over the past few months to make the articles stand out from other websites crack at them. The end of all this however, will mark a new beginning. Our hard work doesn't end here, no; we now get to finally take Black Ops apart piece by piece to further expand our Black Ops related articles. So now, go play the game, enjoy yourself, send some zombies to their graves, and then get ready to come back and edit, because this wiki is gonna get crazy for the next few weeks, and remember, NO ONE EDITS ALONE!

Special thanks too all of those users who have helped expand all Black Ops related articles over the months. 23:17, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

right on!

if i could figure out how i'd give u a standing ovationGETreal 02:21, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

Fantastic speech! er... text, whatever. I am really hoping that this game is well balanced, I don't want it to end up like another game *cough* MW2 *cough.68.218.185.232 02:56, November 9, 2010 (UTC)*

URA! Wii version will bring the fight to their land. Their blood. They will have a taste of what it feels like to be made fun of. No longer will we have to deal with it, Comrades. Lol. JK. I am really excited for the game. I really do want some scum zombies to stop cumming and die. Trayvin talk 00:44, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

Black Ops Program Files
I just played my first session of black ops. Fantastic game but I'm a bit annoyed with steam support. Firstly the launch shortcuts are Internet shortcuts so my SP shortcut is just a white page with the Internet explored icon. Secondly, and the main reason I'm annoyed is that Steam hasn't followed the usual path of C:/Program Files/Activision/Black Ops so now I have know idea where the IWDs are and I want them cos they have the SFX files. Is there any way to make the installation path like the one above? I don't mind reinstalling but I want to avoid that if possible. IWD locations would be greatly appreciated. 124.148.160.197 11:13, November 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * c:/program files/steam/steamapps/common/black ops presumably? my copy for the pc is still in the post, rage levels ███████████████ 100% --Ashwilso12 15:31, November 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ashwilso12 is right. Steam saves files of games that, in my own words, "are from companies that are loosly connected to Valve, I.E. Activision, Bethesda, etc". You cannot change this, or Steam won't be able to read where your files are. Thusly, if you DID move it, you might be able to play Single Player, but no co-op or Multiplayer support is availible. DJRosetta 15:50, November 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * (PS: It's 'cause', not 'cos'. When you find the 'o' in 'because', I believe using that won't be a pet peeve of mine. :P)
 * Thanks. Also, "cause" has a different meaning. Its much clearer if you just say "cos". General Geers 11:03, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

Zombies
So I was playing on Call of Duty 7 and I clicked on (spoiler) zombies. So it can up with this level in a theater and has modern weapons. It showed that they got put in the teleporter and disappeared. Did they go through time to modern or did they obtain other weapons. Also there is paintings of all the the past men and the zombies are alot faster. Finally if you buy a perk like quick revive (its in the first room for 500$) if you get down then you go down with a Akimbo C-3000 from Der riese but get back up. Plus it has two other maps which i havent played yet.

PC Glitch
Can somebody add something about the glitch where the game kidnaps all your CPU and everything lags like Crysis on a Commadore 64? I don't really know the specifics. General Geers 11:01, November 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * the whole game is a glitch on pc atm --Ashwilso12 12:53, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

NO PROGRESSION IN SPLITSCREEN
It's difficult to find this information online, and it needs to be in the article - there is no leveling or progression of any kind for splitscreen local play.

INTERACTIVE MENU SCREEN
I found out yesterday that you can actually look around in the menu screen by moving the Right Thumbstick. i just thought this was really intresting. if you look to the right, you see the screens seen on GKNOVA6.com. and if you look down you see a man that appears to have been recently tortured EDIT: i just found out that the man is Mason --Newraiden23 22:39, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

Also if you press both bumpers then you can break free and move around. If you go to the computer and type in DOA then hit "enter" it brings you "dead ops" which is a arcade-type game. You also unlock an achievement.

And I don't think, in team deathmatch, that extra points for headshots and other bonuses will be added to the team's score. It is just normal team deathmatch with normal scoring.

Clean-up
With the release of the game, this article is in need of some major clean-up to be up to the same standard as our other game articles (ie. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2). I still see some information that has either been clarified by the release of the game, or completely incorrect. Additionally, a great deal of this page, as well as others, remains in the future tense. 18:09, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

controversy
i saw on the news and wikipedia that 1 day from release there was controversy saying that cuba condemed the game where they kill a castro double can somebody add this

Cuba has condemned the release of the game as it has special forces trying to kill a young Fidel Castro.[91][92] The Cubadebate website said it would also turn American children into sociopaths.[91][93]

Some critics have questioned events depicted in the single-player campaign stating that they push "the lines of good taste."[94] Among the noted scenes are the torture of a restrained prisoner and thesummary execution of unarmed, surrendering enemy combatants.[94] from wikipedia
