Call of Duty: Black Ops

[FullMetal]

Yes that would work perfectly, like any other old school FPS with different nations (older WW2 games). Though seeing as lately the COD franchise really thinks custom classes is the biggest innovation ever though never dare to actually work it out properly... I wonder how it'll work with the weapons.

 

I mean: they can't possibly make the Steyr AUG a weapon available during Vietnam maps and/or available to US troops and Vietcong. That would totally kill the atmosphere. It'd be even worse than Germans toting supressed Thompson SMG's, Russians toting Type 100 SMG's and whatnot.

 

I'm curious how this will work out... now that you mentioned that. I do hope they're not going down the same path as MW2 and try something fresh for a f*cking change.

Maybe they could give the possibility to create different classes for different eras?

That would be both an impossibly huge waste of disk space and an inordinately tedious activity to go about between matches. I doubt any game developer in their right mind would ever attempt such a thing.

Well, classes per nation would be nice as I said before with World at War... I had hoped for such a system (2/3 classes for each nation) which you can set up. And in between matches it NOW already is a f*cking pain in the ass to set up your classses (now I can actually talk about it seeing as PC players got a lazy Xbox matchmaking port).

 

Or even better, they should just make a similar system to Bad Company 2. Only this time around you can only pick the weapons from your specific nation and/or era. Wouldn't that be great?

Remember in CoD4 with dedis it only allotted 30 seconds between matches to change load-outs, which is probably one of the only things that actually gives IWnet a positive spin at all in my eyes.

 

I do understand where you're coming from, though at that, balance issues would come about, which I, frankly, don't give a damn about. Though I'm sure there will be someone who'll have a problem with it and thus it becomes an issue which the developers would feel that they need to deal with.

It never was an issue years ago with 'oldschool FPS' games... and now all of a sudden it's the holy grail in gaming.

 

To be honest games lose their replay value when all weapons and all equipment is available to all nations. I mean: there is no more 'value' of a weapon. On top of that: there's no more fun in scavenging enemy weapons because you can make a loadout yourself with desired weapon (if you have a high rank).

 

Whatever, too early to talk about that stuff I guess. Wait for the 'scans' from the game magazines that will come out this month and we'll see...

The multiplayer maps will probably take place in the modern day with an assortment of weapons from the past and present /guess

I scavenge weapons to suit the current situation (S&D on WaW, 1vs1 on Seelow - I'm picking up a bolt action rifle) or because I'm low or out of ammo. Not because it's fun.

[FullMetal]

Apart from picking up weapons because you're low on ammunition (which is actually out of need) I do not pick up any weapons in the three last Call of Duty titles while playing online. Why? The game has been crafted this way that it's better to use the weapons you have unlocked in order to unlock more and/or there's no use picking up 'enemy weaponry' because the enemy weaponry comes from the same armory as yours.

 

Atleast, that's how it is over here.

just like CODs have ever taken more than 200mb disc space -_-

Man, from looking at that, I get a serious Nazi Zombies vibe. Anybody think they might continue the storyline from that? I mean, doctors fleeing some weird lab (Der Riese), a guy with a funny accent talking about electric torture... It's veryyyy leaning towards that. I'll be real interested to see what Treyarch gives us here.

Or they can call them: Vietnambies.

Is there any new information about this game?

Is there any new information about this game?

Nothing official, no. I read an article earlier about an analyst predicting that the game will sell roughly 26% less than Modern Warfare 2, but that's hardly news and isn't official.

Another transmission is available from gknova6! Transmission 5 is live!

http://www.gknova6.com/

[FullMetal]

What the f*ck... seriously they know how to make f*cked up (creepy) sh*t.

 

Better link to what people have 'decoded/decyphered' from it. callofdutyzombies is a good site with some great information about these 'transmissions'.

 

http://callofdutyzombies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=260

 

Check here for the latest transmission and check the forums for more. Some sick discoveries and it shows that they put alot of effort into this. Let's hope they have put the same ammount of effort into the game itself (and hopefully story which might make this game have a decent story compared to MW2/BC2).

it said MODSAM. anyone else no what that is???

Yeah indeed, I just feel the need to share this picture with you guys aswell. Someone got this out of the files or decoded some message into this:

 

 

 

Really damn odd... (nazi) zombies reference? Person forced to watch the gknova6 messages (notice how the 'middle TV' is exactly the same as the one from the gknova6 site)?

 

Who knows?!

Yes it's all been an ARG type thing for Black Ops and i'm guesisng they'll keep it going for a while, even though teh game has been formally announced now.

That's terribly idiotic. Whoever came up with that figure pulled it right from their jacksey.

[Twang of Calimari]

I wonder if "GKNOVA" is some sort of play on MKULTRA...

[Lethal Nizzle]

Just watched the analysis by IGN and they came to the conclusion that that "spacesuit" was a high-altitude suit worn by pilots of an SR-17 spy-plane, used during the Vietnam era.
