CoD: Black Op – New TDM Gameplay footage shows us why this is the next big thing

[TheHip14]

wow can not wait

[Red_Orange_Juice]

$50 DLC

[DirtyLary]

I just hope this COD:BO is balanced. I don't need them to reinvent the wheel, just fix the flat.

[acky1]

This footage didn't show us why its the next big thing at all. It is literally the same as MW2 with some slight tweaks.

Splitscreen online play is truly awesome but apart from that nothing here is new or revolutionary. We've seen this all before, basically since COD4-present.

[RageAgainstTheMShine]

I hope Sylvester "RAMBO" Stallone and Arnold " Commando" Schwartzenneger are un-lockable characters.

[number47]

COD could just get a bi-monthly patch of co-op missions & new maps. Charge the morons errr fans 15$/mo to play. Which they would pay gladly. Madden should do the same thing.. in fact, every underwhelming-yet-popular franchise should do the same.

Theres nothing in any cod release that couldn't simply have been dlc/patch upgrade. Im sure none would miss the single player either.

[irepbtown]

Main reason i pre-ordered Black ops is for the Singleplayer (search on youtube - Black Ops singleplayer trailer), and the amount of friends who are getting it, so i thought i'd join the fun.

But when Gran Turismo 5 comes out, i dont think i'll be on Black Ops.

[jeseth]

I see nothing here that hasn't been done and I also thought the MP5 sounded rediculous.

I wish COD would stop trying to get cute and go back to the basics of COD4 with all the customizations. The killstreaks and over implementation of shotguns and projectiles (GLs, RPGs, etc) has taken away from what made MW a phenomenon.

Seriously, I have never seen a person running and shooting 2 shotguns, it is absurd. Most humans can barely shoot a single shotgun accurately while standing.

I wish COD would stop trying to raise the bar by altering what made the game an industry standard by which others are judged. If MOH had better maps and spawning I would absolutely love it and not be so inclined to buy Black Ops.

The remote control explosive car is going to drive me nuts, you better be able to shoot the thing when its coming for you.

[deadreckoning666]

@Red_Orange_Juice- Stop trolling.

EDIT: This looks incredible. Can't wait to get it. I won't need another competitive multiplayer game till Bungie's multiplat game comes to the PS3 :)

"Boring CoD clips. Why should we care when it is no more than a rehash of the same stuff from 2007?"

But you DO care..why else would you bother to even comment in a Black Ops article??? ROFL so funny. People who "claim" they aren't interested in Black Ops are taking the time out of their busy lives to comment in Black Ops articles. Amazing!

[TheRealist2102]

Having an opinion and everyone is entitled to having one whether you think cod is a piece of crap or better than sex. I personally think series is dead and pity the people that continue to buy into it....more crap please...

[TheRealWar]

we dont need your pity, we need people like you to STFU so we can buy games we want to play ... IMO

[Gago]

don't tell people what and what not to buy

i think your just butthurt cause a game you don't like is doing so successful, further fueling your nerd rage lol

[Millah]

Pity yourself for actually worrying about what other games people play. People hate on COD SO MUCH, claiming its more of the same, but continue to pay so much attention to the game themselves.

Since when were sequels supposed to reinvent the series every single year? I'd like to see ANY of you attempt to do that, come up with a breakthrough idea every 365 days.

You guys really don't appreciate just how tough it is to create sequels to hugely successful series like COD. First off, the publisher won't allow the dev to change much of the core game or take unnecessary risks. Second of all, its EXTREMELY difficult to create a sequel to a game with a 20 million+ install base, and trying to make gameplay changes without pissing off your entire userbase at the same time. Change just one small detail, and you risk upsetting fans.

So until any of you guys are developing huge blockbuster video games, I suggest you keep your smug little comments to yourselves, since none of you know the first thing about being in their shoes.

[iPad]

it looks the same

[sikbeta]

Pffft... all the articles about COD are the same too, always saying it's the best thing evaaaar... until the next year when another COD comes out, then the pseudo-gaming-journoz copy/paste the old articles, change the titles + stuff a little and repeat it's the bezt thing evaaaaar... oh... and Gametrailes gives COD# the GOTY...

[tacosRcool]

"CoD: Black Op – New TDM Gameplay footage shows us why this is the next big thing"

in terms of being over hyped, yes.

[craddock]

will this have move support for ps3

[360nPS3rTheSAME]

roflmao go play minigames or buy kinect or wii if you want to use motion controls the right way. I remember on this site when all of the ps3 fanboys said they didn't want or need motion controls but now look at you hahahahaha "we want to play cod and kz3 with move" lmaoooooo wtf. I love my move but I don't want to fugging play cod or kz3 with it. You people follow fads so blindly it's a shame

*back to sports champions*

[LiLTich92]

@360nps3rthesame
well thats all down to opinion, personally i think MAG is better playing it with the move rather than the ds3, well i dont think its a fad considering that motion controllers are new :\ because i know if move was released a 10-15 years back i would of bought it

*back to playing MAG with move*

p.s KZ3 looks epic with move :) except the stupid auto aim

[360nPS3rTheSAME]

minus the teamwork

[tacosRcool]

I can feel the warmth of the over hype here at my computer

[Karooo]

awesom game

[theonlylolking]

So many people use the MP5. Is it that good?

I loved the MP5 in COD4 so if this one is just as good then I can see why peeps are using it.

[JeffGUNZ]

Yeah it looks really similiar. I hope it is!

[cyborg]

The Dog streaks are back :D

Awesome

[Solans Scott]

They were my favorite kill streak reward from World at War.

[DigitalRaptor]

Call of Duty will always be the next big thing to the average gamer, whether it's great or not.

[TheRealist2102]

I'm an average gamer and will be passing over this low quality...same crap a different day game....

[DTG_The_Man]

Boring CoD clips. Why should we care when it is no more than a rehash of the same stuff from 2007?

[JeffGUNZ]

Apparently you cared enough to lave a comment.

[Scotland-The-Brave]

He does not have to care to share his opinion.

[irepbtown]

Scotland-the-brave

I have no clue as to why you've got disagrees.

[Scotland-The-Brave]

its quite easy (no offense) irepbtown, xbox fans complain this site is infested with sony fanboys, when its obvious there are just as much xbox fanboys (shocker).
My opinion because i have 2 bubbles people treat me as a troll, but in essence if you seen me 3 weeks ago i had 5 lol, the mods banned me and took my bubbles because i stated my opinion on turn 10 (forza) dev team. Its quite obvious the mods on this site are biased(at least to turn 10 anyway) or even actually know the dev team, put it this way if you had seen that thread you wouldave seen the amount of genuine comments reported as trolling/spam by the mods.

all im saying to prove my point, there are as much fanboys either side,but this comment will probably be reported anyways,

[plb]

YouTube link

[mrv321]

Same title and same comments as MW2 articles last year. We all know how that went.

[TheRealist2102]

Indeed my good sir. The drones can't seem to realize it though.

I would rather people rent the game first before wasting 60 bucks on a game that will more than likely piss you off because of all the issues and flaws.

I can't support acti/trey any longer so I won't be getting this.

[MRMagoo123]

maybe he is commenting on the fact about everyone saying its crap and there not buying it and somehow it still manages to be the best selling game out there and that would mean there are alot of ppl lying about wanting it.

[irepbtown]

When i'm at school, i NEVER hear anything bad about Black Ops. Its always 'you getting black ops - Yeah - it looks SIIICK' etc.

I think people around the world do this. But its just people who go on Gaming sites tends to know more about a game than a person who just watched trailers and gameplay.

Siiick = a good thing in england.

[scar20]

Looks good me and a couple of friends are gonna start playing next friday and kotick aint getting our money.

[Panthers]

This is just an insane fragfest that looks like it will be a blast for a while. It should hold me up until the next Socom releases. And since I havent gotten a COD since COD4, it should feel fresh.

[DirtyLary]

Agree.Can't wait of S4.

[irepbtown]

It will only hold me until Gran Turismo 5.

[Dnied]

Not gonna lie,

I hate activision with a passion, and I don't care for Treyarch either.. but I admire the attempt by Treyarch to improve the game and change the way things were made in mw2. This seems a lot more like cod4 when there were minimal automatic multi-kill explosive weapons.

No stacking killstreaks, every killstreak requires YOU to do some work, there is a delay/penalty when you jump to prone now (thank god) because of all the dolphin divers..

AND the thing that probably impresses me the most is they actually ADDED a a feature to it.. the replay editor / video compiling is very very appealing, it's something I've always thought shooters should have on consoles since Halo brought it in... some of the best times in CS were when ppl would get hyped for professional player movies etc or being able to go back and replay your demos if you pulled off something insane.

[PRHB HYBRiiD]

agree

[iPad]

Your comment is basically saying Black Ops is the same thing as MW2 but with more cherries.

[Dnied]

It is the same thing lol and so is mw1 but they are removing alot of the casual friendly features that were added between mw1 and mw2 which is nice to hear.. I'm sure it will still feel pretty casual, and similar to mw2 but I'm just saying I respect the fact that Treyarch recognized what was really wrong with mw2 and are making an effort to change it.

[getonmylev3l]

"it is the same thing"

vs.

"but they are removing alot"

Contradiction??? Make up your mind! Which one is it?

[JeffGUNZ]

Seriously, what are you expecting? You do realize that this is a sequel to call of duty, so it's suppose to look and feel similiar to the predocessor. The reason people like myself are pumped for this game is simple, as long as you take the time to read the articles. Treyarch has removed all the nonsense and BS that MW2 added in their game. I still play MW2 often, but it is complete crap when compared to COD4. Treyarch has made a game that appears to be BETTER then COD4. That is what the COD fans have been waiting for and that is why we are excited. If you don't like it, then fine, that is your opinion. They have created theatre mode, removed commando, 1887's in multiplayer, danger close+one man army, they made noob tubes the most expensive attachment (also, the scavenger like perk does not refil noob tubes), they COMPLETELY balanced the perks and their layouts, they have made killstreaks not count toward deaths to the next killstreak (brillant), they removed a game ended killstreak (reducing camping), slight of hand pro does not work for snipers (no quickscope nonsense), they changed the idea of unlocking weapons and perks through progression and now unlocking what you want when you can afford it with COD points. These are just a FEW things Treyarch has done to bring this game back to greatness. So I do see your point that you think they look similiar, but honestly man, MILLIONS of people are addicted and the pre-orders are the highest for this series EVER, do you really think they are going to completely bring a brand new feel to the game? Do you really think they would jepordize that when the following is still growing larger? You won't see a HUGE graphical/gameplay mechanic on this series until this series cools off in a few years.

[StankyChicken]

Wall of Text is making my eyes hurt.

[getonmylev3l]

Alright I took the time to read your post and I agree with you with most everything. I am a Call of Duty fan and I am particularly excited for Black Ops. (For most of the reasons you listed.)

Although, you will be able to buy your weapons and perks. You still have to level up to unlock it to buy.

[cygnuszero2]

Next big thing huh? Weird, it looks exactly like the past 2 CoDs Ive played. No interest in this game at all.

[PRHB HYBRiiD]

good for you...don't buy it then.

[JeffGUNZ]

haha makes me laugh. If you have NO interest in this game at all, why would you click the link that says black ops, view the video, then post a comment about having no interest. Where I come from, you're showing some interest.

[MRMagoo123]

there calling it the next big thing because it prob will be like the other cods i dont want it to change much and i know alot of other ppl would agree why buy the new cod game if its nothing like the other ones.

[irepbtown]

People might not have a interest in something but still read about it.

Hype is the main cause of people reading about the game.

[Dark-Cloud]

i said this befor , this game will have gameplay cod 4 and 5 and that's a good thing :) ...

i don't like the replay editor / video because i don't want people play like me or when u find out something someone just watch the replay video and know everything u did .... -.-
but it have good things .....

[JeffGUNZ]

I don't see most people doing that, too time consuming.

[Goldsack]

..every time i look at that medicore casual gameplay i know why i never buy that wannabe hardcore trash.

Run like a chicken on crystal through the levels as if the weapons are made of styrofoam.

[corneliuscrust]

Fans will love it. Will sell millions. Real games will continue unnoticed and we will see 12 more COD clones next year thanks to its success.

Thanks, gamers

PS... wtf did I see a "ONE HOUR PLAYED +500pts" ? Now you're getting experience JUST for being there? First game I can think of that will award an AFK player at the right time.

Why people enjoy this game, I will never know. CoD died after COD4.

[BX81]

Yeah just like any other online game you play, you tend to build up xp!

[corneliuscrust]

you know... DOING THINGS.

You shouldn't gain XP just by existing.

[BX81]

I personally think it's good to throw in bonuses for the not so good gamers. No body likes taking forever to rank up if they suck. You gotta toss em a bone too. Personally I thought it took too long to rank up in mw2 but that's just me. Every little bit helps. Now I agree with you if you get 500xp for playing 5, 15, 20, 25hrs. etc. but once in a while it's ok.

[CharlesDCI]

I agree. I haven't had any interest in COD since I stopped played COD4

[BX81]

Day 1 for me!!!! I like all the haters in here!

[Mafia2200]

Day 1 for mummy to buy it, huh?

[BX81]

LOL! I'll toss you a hint BX= Bronx 81=yr born.

[MRMagoo123]

im not sure that was a big enough hint for him

[Mafia2200]

and how the hell is this footage shows its the next big thing? looks identical to MW2

Plz stop this hype, cause you aint gonna fool us like you did with MW2, I know Act is paying you alot of money for this, but its not gonna work, sorry

[Beahmscream]

ADD FU***** RECOIL.

[jjank11]

Play another game if you want that.

[PRHB HYBRiiD]

recoil makes the game more harder to play so u gotta have more skill and THAT is good.

[Reckless718]

i dont get it i see people going crazy for a game that looks just like the last one an the one before that. am i missing something?

[Trunkz]

Same here I see prone but that was about it, looks like normal TDM.

[HOSe]

kids aged 9-18 think they are 1337 because they pewd-pewd you with their mp5 and blue holigraphic site pew pew but in reality you probably killed the dude first but because of the p2p server and the awful hit detection that has been consistently bad from 2007 you died and then noob won.

this game is going to be good but its no different from mw1 and mw2. they found ways to balance everything pretty well, but that doesnt mean there still arent classes/ perks which everyone will use. plus, who the hell still wants to play 6v6 s&d matches, when i was playing 32 player s&d matches in 2003 in Cod vanilla

[bviperz]

Unlike World at War was to MW, this next Treyarch project really does look and play just like MW2. Even the weapons now are the same.

[itchy18]

it really looks like modern warfare 2. really.

[maxcer]

how is this next big thing? didn't this game come out last year? /s

seriously tho MW2 will be last CoD game i get for at least a few years, all they do is reskin MW1 and hype the shit out of it every year.

[djreplay]

Isn't that Sub Base from MW2, nothings changed

[tiny1114]

My god!! people will complain about anything!! all i ask from Treyarch is to fix what Infinity Ward broke..thats it...and to me it looks like they are diligently trying to do that..and if they bring out more than 2 map packs for less than $15 bucks, all the better

[tiny1114]

i should say 2 map packs with only 3 new maps and 2 rehashes....where as Treyarch put out 3 map packs in WAW with 3 maps per and a new zombie map for only $10 bucks....do the math Treyarch gave us the better deal

[StrikerZ3ro112]

I'm confused, how is this setting the standard?

This looks like the last three games over again, ill be skipping this one, they already suckered me into buying world at war and modern warfare 2.

[Thoreau]

all i got to type is that i am excited about the game(codblackops)

[No Way]

More idiots claiming, "It looks the same!!!!!" Duh, of course..
Do you people not see the "Call of Duty" in the title?

Seriously.. it's a no-brainer people.

[maxcer]

we know its CoD, we're responding to the title of the article

[HOSe]

people think that they wont sell the dlc for $15 a piece after selling a bagillion map packs for that price? if anything the price will go up

[xCaptainAmazing]

get over it peeps. a sequel will always be a rehash, but this thing has fixed nearly every single complaint and actually looks awesome. plus david goyer wrote the campaign script so you can expect a cool single player as well. there are other awesome online games, but call of duty is still king (fact supported by numbers) to the core gamer, especially after medal of honor failed to sway the crowd.

[bobrea]

This looks exactly the same as MW2, except with a few tweaks. I honestly don't know why people want this game, COD is pretty much dead to me.

[yojoe26]

Dang I hate the way 85 percent of people play this game. They run around full speed like retards spraying bullets everywhere with little or no sense of tact. This is why I love Killzone 2 and Bad Company 2. There is just SO much more opportunity for team-play and tactics. I know that in the end I will probably just end up getting this because I do always enjoy COD games and so far my favorites have been COD 4 (of course) and WAW. I'm just hoping that this one encourages some true team gameplay opportunities and not just run and gun. Guess that's why people who want more than run and gun game-play switch it over to hardcore mode, huh?

[jjank11]

Complete agreement about that run and gun crap, and to add to that quick scoping and prone diving while shooting = STUPID........I always play HC mode. I got WaW alittle later than others and CoD4 as a rental and borrowed it from a friend as well but the second I loaded up WaW and played the MP, I was like this is stupid, so I tried out HC mode and was at least a bit more relieved. Black Ops actually might have a really good HC mode but unless I can get it free or very cheap, i'm not getting it.

KZ2 and BC2 are by far my favorite FPS games right now but KZ2 can get very spawn camp happy with some of the servers and I don't have really any buddies in that game. OH and don't forget MAG, thats a unique experience and I hope that other FPS developers use some of the ideas from that game.

[Athlon]

Is this game even in 720P? It looks exactly the same as Modern Warfare 2. Looks like COD is now the Madden of FPS games.

[DTG_The_Man]

By "next big thing", they mean "next big rehash of a dying and uninspired franchise". Seriously! Let it die, Kotick. It's gonna start giving ya shitloads of money eventually. Who am I kidding, everyone's gonna buy this game and think that it's fantastic when it is really the same game from 1007 with a couple stuff thrown in.

[damnyouretall]

wow i bought this last year. you know even the next gen cod games years from now will prob be the same damn game with better graphics. the franchise peaked already,, give it a rest. i feel like theyre only doing it for the money now. but i might buy a cod mmo if they ever go that route

[Paradise Lost]

This is how mw2 should of been, thank god for Treyarch.

[hiredhelp]

Still the same garbage. my god did any of you see the objects in that game. graphicly. like the terminals somert out of ps2 or xbox 1.

really poor quality.

[prirechnaya5_165]

They should have stopped after "World at War". COD4 - modern, COD5 - past. Both fantastic games with unique elements, keep them updated with DLCs and everything is okay! MW2 added nothing to the series, repeat of the previous entries with the game-breaking additions. Neither will the BO.

[monkeyfox]

Cs has been doing this shit for years. In fact cs is probably a better game lol. I own mw and mw2 and I must say I'm starting to get a little bored now.. Maybe the zombies will help?

[totallysane]

cause bobby kotick thinks everytime hes sneezes its news, so throw a few renamed perks in the game, once again take gun recoil out of a game, make the maps smaller, and ask more whiney 12 yolds to play. thats what he wants, O AND FOR EVERYONE TO PAY MONTHLY FOR IT. ever since mw2 was release shooters (with the exception of bc2) are lackluster games that shouldnt be published because they are, for a fact, shit.

o and as far as getting bored, just now? you've got alot of patience my friend

[artdafoo]

Update the tired ass COD game engine to allow destruction, then you can start acting like it's the end all be all of FPS games.

[Paradise Lost]

OH but if they do update and change the engine you will be the one bitching.

[RAmar101]

if everyone was being honest. it looks just like MW2 looks the same multiplayer and im betting it certainly will be with tweaks here and there

[totallysane]

i will personally never buy another cod. i have to have shooters/or any game with teamwork or some strategy involved. cod will never get my money again, after the disaster that was mw2

[hiredhelp]

at the moment im playing MOH. ok i beleave could been improoved it has issues. but much better than black op's. i dont like the fact they have tryed to put a feel of cod into the game as its not needed.

honistly when all said and done. if you a ps3 owner just keep to them exclusives. like upcomming kz3 and look out for socom 4.
