Call of Duty: Black Ops

[fren.]

Nuketown is about half the length from A-C in Terminal. Map is gonna be the tits.

[OWS_Tonx]

I look forward to the multiplayer more than the campaign, but I love the CoD campaigns. All the vids n shit I've seen make me believe this will be biblical.

edit: what aeowin said, wtf @ the vid. you like the music or what

[loyaltrekie]

Can anyone playing confirm any challenges for pro perks force you to play specific game modes other than Marathon? That was the only one I saw that had a forced game mode in that Gamespot video, but they only showed a few of them.

Since some of these look pathetically easy - and others look extremely long - I'm going to assume they are using some form of tier system like they did in previous challenges. Since in no way is knifing 15 people the same as sprinting 26 miles -_-

Zombies is available from the start. Lovely.

[Avarice]

Zombies is available from the start. Lovely.

I'm confused. Is that somehow a bad thing?

[shiarua]

You can pick up the game for $48 after tax if you download from Direct 2 Drive (I believe the download is the Steam installer, so this is indeed the Steam version of the game, unlock codes with be available on release day)

Use the promo code "bigsavings" when checking out for $15 off retail price. This also works for any other game.

[Aeowin]

I can't determine if that is spam or this guy really thinks anyone cares about PC. lol

[Zanz L. Barre The 3rd]

Hmm I'm sure PC will make a triumphant return with Black Ops assuming dedicated servers work like CoD4s. But yeah, there's only like 10 forum members who post that play on PC haha

[Insanecyclone]

I'm waiting to see how the dedicated servers are handled before I buy the PC version too. Originally was going to go PC but don't want any bullshit from the start so going console.

[Zanz L. Barre The 3rd]

Yep same. The pattern for me has been to buy on console and then buy on PC 3-4 months later haha

[shiarua]

There are a ton of people who care about the PC outside of your own little world.

[Kaster]

Theater mode looks pretty good

[FNH]

I'm hoping someday they institute an IQ test to play SnD. Some of these people I had to play with tonight made me wonder how they setup their systems to play. I picture them as drooling on their controllers.

[Aeowin]

Hi, no. My "little world" is this giant place called reality. And as Zanz said, there's like 10 people who post on BG who buy PC FPS games, and like 4 of them just said they are buying console.

No. An IQ test to even access online multiplayer. Also, a voice pitch test.

Wait,

Reality is 10 people on BG?

Lol anyways, there's always that hard core group of "FPS belong on keyboard/mouse" that will move the PC version along on sales


*edit*

I approve of your voice pitch test before online play....

How does gamestop handle preorders? If I wanted to cancel mine, would I be issued a refund or some store credit type of shit?

Credit I think, or you could move the money on Black ops to a different preorder.
