Call of Duty Black Ops

[Red Paradox]

I'm still green with processors but I think yours should be fine dude...what I like about COD is that it doesn't use much resources but it still runs great on "low" quality settings.
I think like Reaper mentioned if you can play Modern Warfare 2 and World at War on high enough settings...then Black Ops should be a walk in the park for ya.

[Red Paradox]

the more allyuh post these things is the more agitated i get lolz...quite the friggin 9th jed

Ent...Customs and wrecked discs have seen to that.

Steam is the new games hoss yes.  Get with the program.

Not if you're a console man

[Berzerk]

wow this game would need 24 gigs of space oui.

*Call of Duty®: Black Ops requires an initial hard drive space of approximately 24GB to download and install the game via digital download (8GB of compressed files, 8GB of decompressed files and 8GB of installed files). Upon installing the game, 16GB (compressed and decompressed files) may be deleted from the hard drive. Please make note of where the compressed and decompressed files are being saved on your hard drive in order to later locate these temporary files for removal.

hope it got a decent preload...

@JD_2020 did a one hour Q&A session over his twitter, here are the resulting questions and answers:

@JD_2020 can you confirm the number of Black Ops multiplayer maps and if you can watch theater with multiple people?
@Elkoorps Yes, you can watch #CODBlackOps Theater in parties.


@JD_2020 #AskJD How many levels are there per Prestige?
@DeadmanDRB That one's still top secret .


#AskJD Can you save videos in theatre mode in hd to your pc or upload them to youtube or so?
@ZeroHeroVids You will be able to get your videos to the web - more details on that still to follow.


#AskJD When can we expect a rcon protocol etc.?
@GamerOfFreedom PC users will be able to remotely control their servers.


@JD_2020 What's your fav. gun to play with in #BlackOps? #AskJD
@CallofDutyIntel Presently, the Famas. Really dig the Galil as well.


@JD_2020 #AskJD Is (and if so when) there going to be a multiplayer beta online? Local gamestop says yes, but have yet to hear anything else
@mattDBF No public BETA for #CODBlackOps - Strictly an internal Friends & Family BETA that is giving us all the feedback needed.


@JD_2020 What does Hardened Pro and Steady Aim Pro give you?! We're dying to know. #AskJD.
@TGolding More goodness .


@JD_2020 #AskJD Ever considered cooperative kill streaks? ex. You and a teammate both get 8 in a row and control a helicopter together
@_Beatladdius The team has considered this, yes. Nothing like this exists in #CODBlackOps, though.


@JD_2020 did you get rid of join session for all game types or just FFA types #AskJD ?
@Angry_Panda You can Join Session In Progress in #CODBlackOps, but not in Wager Match.


@JD_2020 Are we going to have pre-made classes, or do we start off with a certain currency to buy one new weapon? #AskJD
@Cavcic There will be default classes as you'd expect, but yes - you have to buy any new weapons with COD Points. You start with zero CP.


@JD_2020, is it true only hardened & prestige editions will have the previous zombie maps loaded on them? #AskJD
@TheRaptorWolfy If you buy the Hardened or Prestige editions of #CODBlackOps, you will get #CoDWaW's 4 Zombie levels.


@JD_2020 #AskJD is 18 for ranked set in stone??
@rjrocks75 In theory we can change that... But we've thought long and hard about that number. Too many players changes the gameplay.


@JD_2020 #AskJD About how much cod points / currency do you get in an average tdm kill?
@B1GBLU3B0X That would be tough to break that down per kill... You don't see CP pop up per kill like you do XP. You get your CP at the end.


@JD_2020 Is it true you can create montages using the theatre. I heard it but don't believe it. #AskJD
@Camukazi Yes, there is an in-game Sequence Editor so you can string together montages of your greatest moments in a match =).


@JD_2020 The new map from GTTV last night sounded like crossfire from COD4. Anything like it? #AskJD #CODBlackOps
@AlineaShawn Actually, it is similar in the sense that there is quite a long street. But it is not Crossfire.


@JD_2020 will it be bad ass?! #AskJD
@john0805 You know it =).


@JD_2020 #AskJD Are there old weapons like Tar-21 etc.? Or are the weapons completely new?
@JonasTebbe Some weapons make a return, like the AK-47 or M16, but they still are new (look different, sound different).


@JD_2020 How will #CODBlackOps handle match making between local games and games between friends? #AskJD
@Russell_Morton If you're playing with friends in a party, you'll stay together. There are also Local search preferences.


#AskJD Are all of the guns automatically unlocked in the beginning for Combat Training like they are in local MP?
@heartbraden Combat Training simulates the online ranked MP environment, to the T.


@JD_2020 #AskJD Extended Mags, and Duel mags, whats the difference?
@lowsalaryjosh Extended Mags extend your magazine capacity. Dual Mags are two mags taped together, for faster reload every other reload.


@JD_2020 #AskJD how many people can play co-op together on one console (zombies and combat training)?
@yen888 Two player local Split-Screen.


@JD_2020 Possible to get a sneak peek at the new Prestige emblems? #AskJD
@pilzkopf_ There may have been one hidden in one of our trailers somewhere .


@JD_2020 how much did it cost to make black ops ? #AskJD
@A_Alrasheed About as much as a Klondike Bar.


@JD_2020 Will you stop people using XBL party chat in certain gametypes like in MW2? #AskJD
@andy_smart No Party Chat in S&D.


@JD_2020 #AskJD what maps will have dynamic aspects in multiplayer. Like what we've seen in that one trailer with the space shuttle.
@Narutofreak1012 Yes, the rocket in Launch is one good example of this. Other maps have similar interactivity.


@JD_2020 #AskJD can the XBOX expect to receive content ealier than PC and PS3 like MW2 did or will they all come out at the same time?
@Bashlol If there is to be DLC, the Xbox 360 will receive it first as per the Activision-Microsoft partnership through 2012 announced at E3.


@JD_2020 can you create more than 1 emblem and toggle between the two in Black ops? #AskJD
@Adrianiswhoiam No, one emblem at a time in #CODBlackOps.


@JD_2020 Will host migration return or will it be like cod4, Host leaves, Game ends. #AskJD
@WillHydeEast Host Migration is in #CODBlackOps.


@JD_2020 #AskJD...Do COD Points start over when you Prestige?
@41nick Yes, just like XP.


#AskJD #CODBlackOps have Stping pwr and jugg really gone all together? will all weapons be balanced because of this?
@6endyer There is no concept of Juggernaut or Stopping Power in #CODBlackOps. They are both GONE! =)


#AskJD Will the zombie mode be in all versions of Black Ops, or just one of the special editions?
@djreidak There will be a Zombies in all version of #CODBlackOps, not just Special Editions. Special Editions get the 4 extra #CoDWaW maps.


@JD_2020 Can we expect a respawn timer on Domination ? #AskJD
@AProjectUK123 No, Domination works the way it always has.


#AskJd what kind of zombies will there be? Like nazi, spetnaz, cuban militia.
@mando_t The undead kind.


@JD_2020 #askJD is treyarch going to bbe able to stop all the rapid fire modded controllers?
@texasXmade We are dedicated to thwarting modded controllers. It will forever be a struggle, though. We'll stay on top of it!


@JD_2020 what about Private Chat? #askJD
@JamesMRios Private Chat is disabled for Search & Destroy only, presently.


@JD_2020 Is Black Ops the best game ever made? #AskJD
@PaulForde1 That would be quite a humbling honor to receive... But I'm not near objective enough to make that decision =P.


@JD_2020 #askJD. No party chan in Most game types ?
@Malpasy The opposite - Party Chat in most playlists.


#AskJD how many multiplayer ranks are there?
@JMGrissom 50 levels per prestige in #CODBlackOps.


@JD_2020 Is the campaign and zombie mode connected somehow? #AskJD
@Jum4la Absolutely not, the two modes are very much so separate.


@JD_2020 does Black ops reward more points for capping flags in domination than in Mw1/2? #AskJD
@Adrianiswhoiam We've structured our leaderboards in such a way to incentivize capping objectives as well as killing.


@JD_2020 Hell hound confirmed? http://twitpic.com/2xso1c That was in the Spike Episode #AskJD
@WillHydeEast Remember, they developed #CoDWaW in that office too. I won't speculate on #CODBlackOps Zombies, though...


@JD_2020 What does your nickname mean? #AskJD
@DanAmrich If I told you, I'd have to kill you....


@jd_2020 #AskJD how many players on zombie mode split screen? is there zombie split screen online? will we ever get 4 player split scree ...
@Adman234 Two player local split-screen for #CODBlackOps. 4 players Online Co-Op supported.


#AskJD Will guns have recoil? Also, is there gore in multiplayer?
@The_3lite Of course guns have recoil =P. Some guns have more than others...


@JD_2020 #AskJD why do not you answer my questions?
@nD_r_Ew You have to be asking the right questions .


#AskJD Where is my "One in the Chamber" Tournament Video that @MorganJEast saved in the theater mode?
@senorbarrigas Somewhere. #AskVahn @DavidVonderhaar .


@JD_2020 #askjd Leaderboards for specific gamemodes?
@Apocaliptz Absolutely.


#ASKJD Will you be sending me an early copy?
@babyface0030 Will you be sending me money?
@babyface0030 (only kidding of course =P)


@JD_2020 What do you plan on doing if someone hacks the leaderboards? Suspension, Xbox Live/Playstation Home ban, or IP ban? #AskJD
@TeammatesFAIL We have tools that should help us keep the leaderboards clear and free of hackers.


@JD_2020 How many times will we be able to prestige?-thx josh #AskJD
@iabduct A bunch.


5) How many prestige levels are there in #CODBLACKOPS @JD_2020 #AskJD
@CRiPPaNTe Enough .


Will prestiging put me at a huge disadvantage like in previos titles? What level are you able to use CP and Creat-A-Class? #AskJD
@Katsock303 Of course there is a challenge to Prestiging. That's why it's called "Prestige" haha, you will have to climb the ladder again.


@JD_2020 #AskJD Are Sniper Rifles guarantee 1 shot kill for Headshots, no matter your set-up for them?
@Kastro187420 Yes.


@JD_2020 What is YOUR favorite killstreak reward in #CODBlackOps? =P #AskJD
@Hardline_Pro MY favorite is... Gunship. Fully controllable helicopter armed with Rockets and Mini-gun? Yes please!


#AskJD Do kills with a killstreak add on to your killstreak and do kills carry over to the next round in Search and Destroy?
@nick8807 Killstreaks will carry over to the next round, but Killstreak kills do NOT count towards your next Killstreak.


@JD_2020 Do you and the Treyarch team play competing fps for fun? #AskJD
@Katsock303 Of course, for fun and for taking notes =).


@JD_2020 why is Second Chance in the game? #AskJD #DoINeedToSpam?
@mantas91 It's a good Perk. Not everybody likes it, but that's the case with everything in the game. Everything has some haters.


#askjd will the headshots still sound like they do in WaW in MP?
@DergaNinja It may have been updated a bit, but you'll still know when you get a headshot, yes =).


@JD_2020 #AskJD Marry me?
@VivaLaTegan ... I thought I needed your dad's permission first...


@JD_2020 #AskJD Will zombies be more like the WaW style horde mode, or will they be more like MW2 Spec Ops Missions with objectives?
@brom0eeyhib More like #CoDWaW.


How deep is the gun customization? Can you put stickers on it? Where can you put your clan tag? #AskJD #CODBlackOps
@Eriksonstone Customization runs pretty deep. Watch this trailer (in HD of course): http://2020.vg/9Ycosq


@JD_2020 #AskJD has black ops been bulid Around a New Engine??
@Blake_RFC_101 #CODBlackOps runs on a heavily modified / enhanced #CoDWaW engine.


@JD_2020 #AskJD will the online point system be harder, easier, or the same being that there is 50 levels?
@oroscoballer It will be.... Different. Very familiar, a COD player will recognize with it immediately.


@JD_2020 will there be an option to censor gore and language? #AskJD
@Diet_icE_15 You will be able to censor the more graphic violence, yes.


#AskJD Im enjoying looking at the questions people are throwing at you @JD2020 - Will you meet expectations? !!
@Jojheywood I aim to exceed expectations!


#AskJD how are you gonna answer all these questions? That's my question
@iFrENzYxLeGEnD Vodka... With Red Bull, of course =).


@JD_2020 #AskJD Are there benefits to prestiging, like camos, guns etc??
@vinacent There are even more benefits to Prestiging in #CODBlackOps than ever before =).


@JD_2020 #AskJD isn't the hour almost up? xD =D
@va4leo I have lost all sense of time... You tell me!


@JD_2020 WILL Demolition be in blackops #AskJD
@frankbrasel Yes.


@JD_2020 If i send you money can you send me the game early? #AskJD
@Group935 How much are we talking....? (No =P)


@JD_2020 whats the meaning of life? #AskJD
@HolyHandGnade13 Love. Or 42, you pick.


?
@jd8395 Well Gary Oldman and Ed Harris are pretty VIP if you ask me =D. They've been confirmed for a while now as voices in #CODBlackOps.


@JD_2020 #AskJD is there going to be a public Beta for Black Ops?
@Frank_Renteria_ Not this time.


@JD_2020 #AskJD do only personal kills count towards your leaderboard killstreak? or can killstreaks help improve that?
@TDog4141 That's a GREAT question, one I haven't though of. My gut says that Killstreaks still do not count towards that, but I may be wrong
@TDog4141 May want to #AskVahn that one - @DavidVonderhaar.


@JD_2020 Grenade launcher is an attachment that is spammed alot. In #CODBlackops, what is the plan to counter that? #AskJD
c3rebral_7 Well, Scavenger no longer replenishes noob tubes, for one. Also, One Man Army is not a Perk in #CODBlackOps =)


@JD_2020 #AskJD it true the beta was leaked ? here is proof on sevensins http://www.se7ensins...047-i-haz-beta/
@DanBates2010 That is most definitely a hoax - could just be photoshopped image loaded on his TV screen =D. Either way, it's fake I promise.


@JD_2020 Is it true that you can move your claymore placement? #AskJD
@KevinSmetana Yes, that is true. All Equipment can be picked back up, and re-positioned. Including Claymores.


@JD_2020 #AskJD Why don't we hear from @gameservers_com? We've goto get servers in South Africa?
@SSClan They may just be working on that. I'm sure opening new datacenters takes time. Stay patient and keep an eye out at their feed.


@JD_2020 #AskJd can you revive people on 2nd chance
@GabeMcCabe Actually, yes. If you have Second Chance, any teammate can revive you - Not just others who also have Second Chance.


#AskJD You have 4 minutes remaining.... xD
@va4leo Thanks coach!


#askJD How many prestiges will there be
@JamesSimmoo There will be __ levels of Prestige. Whoops!


@JD_2020 #AskJd will noob tubes/pro pipes be weaker
@GabeMcCabe Prop Pipes =P - I like what you did there .


#AskJD is the Wii version getting zombies or combat training???
@skipper1326 We'll have more to talk about the Wii version soon... Stay tuned!


@JD_2020 Is there online split screen for co op? including the old co op maps? #AskJD
@NASSASSIN No, just local 2 play split-screen.


@JD_2020 #AskJD Is m16 and Famas fully auto.? Or can you change settings for it to be bursts?
@MichaelSamilow Famas is fully auto, M16 is 3-round burst.


@JD_2020 #AskJD Can you please answer one of my questions
@mattfab22 Done =).


@JD_2020 #AskJD how will you improve your multiplayer from previous games. my friend wants to know because he's trying to decide to get it.
@cobrag7 That can't fit into one tweet... Watch all our videos here: http://youtube.com/CallOfDuty


#AskJD: How does black ops deal with campers?
@LordGordonis What do you mean? Like, do we make them appear on the radar if they sit still? No, nothing like that...


@JD_2020 is there a PSP version, and a new zombies for iPhone?? #AskJD
@thetyro No PSP version, but there is a Nintendo DS version @n_Space put together, and it's pretty awesome!


@JD_2020 Prestige or not to Prestige? #AskJD
@TheGameSquared Prestige, definitely!


#AskJD will stopping power be a bullet type and will juggernaut be some kind of pro perk or equipment
@C4RPETFRESH No, no, no, no, no - NO Stopping Power or Juggernaut in #CODBlackOps =).


@JD_2020 Let's just run away to Vegas and do it.
@VivaLaTegan Well I am like... 4 hours from Vegas as we speak =D.

[Reaper2051]

#AskJD, @JD_2020 answers more Black Ops Questions via Twitter

@JD_2020 Will PS3 players be able to lock private matches on #CODBlackOps?
@BlankPoint Absolutely.

@JD_2020 Hi! Can you please tell me if the CODBlackOps PC version is gonna to have lean?
@ricardolobo It does, yes.

@JD_2020 Will the Gun Game have the same weapon progression every time, or will it vary in some way? #AskJD
@iam15ninjas Same one every time. The idea is, you master that progression, you will make bank with Gun Game.

#AskJD what are you guys doing with the annoying grenade launchers... Also are the Servers going to be more stable this time around?
@Ryan_Smith1 Noob Tubes will be disabled at the beginning of the round, much like we patched into #CoDWaW.

#AskJD, which mp game modes have party chat available?
@jayhawkoholic All except Search & Destroy presently. That's something we can change post-launch.

#codblackops #askjd @jd_2020 can you change the enemies names in Combat Training
@TacInsertion Yep, you can set the Practice Dummies in Combat Training to use names from your Friends List =D.

@JD_2020 What does the "Lens" option do in Create A Class #AskJD
@ShadowKnight104 You can change your Lens tint color, like your Reticule color.


@JD_2020 What are the benefits of Prestiging? #AskJD
@koedyburkel There are various benefits. Not sure which @DavidVonderhaar would like revealed just yet =).

@JD_2020 #AskJD I'm guessing there are different difficulty levels for the AI in Combat Training. How hard is the hardest difficulty?
@heartbraden Pretty difficult. "Veteran".

@JD_2020 #AskJD are there "strict" rules on how we can run our servers? ie no profanity,swearing, tubing?
@thiefsrevenge Absolutely, you will have the ability to set rules and enforce them in your PC Dedicated Servers.

@JD_2020 is there an alternative colour scheme in #CODBlackOps? #AskJD
@Gornoxx Yes. Color Blind friendly nametags are supported in #CODBlackOps.

@JD_2020 can you have different gametypes in a map rotation on a dedicated server for the PC? #askjd
@ripper998 Unranked servers can be configured much more freely. Ranked servers you'll have to use preset Playlist-like configurations.

@JD_2020 does the story mode of #CODBlackOps take place during the Vietnam war or the Cold War? #AskJD
@Luke_Lillard Both. Vietnam was part of the Cold War. But it's not a Vietnam game - it's a fictional story that takes place during Cold War.

@JD_2020 I'm worried that shotguns won't be a viable combat tactic. Will they have reasonable damage? Do you think they're balanced? #AskJD
@Frizkie8 They'll be balanced, rest assured.

@JD_2020 Will the Combat Record track stats on every individual gun or just the player? #AskJD
@HurrrDur Every individual gun =). You can even compare your stats in-game against a Friend. It's the deepest Combat Record ever in COD.

@JD_2020 #AskJD Do your CODpoints reset when you prestige?
@lNeverNight Yes they do.

#AskJD how is the reporting system going to work?
@KehJay You select a player, view his Player Card, and click one of the options under the "Report Player" menu (Boosting, Cheating, etc).

@JD_2020 Will you be able to get game currency in all game types or just in Wager Matches? #AskJD
@xboxGOD1312 You primarily get them in standard game matches. You then gamble them in Wager Matches. But you earn them like XP standard.

@JD_2020 #AskJD do u think the rc car is too early to achieve as a three kill streak?
@sku96 I do not.

@JD_2020 If you get a double kill in Gun Game, what happens? Do you just have an extra kill, or do you go up two tiers? #AskJD
@Blashemer You do NOT advance two tiers. To advance to a tier, you MUST get a kill with the previous Tier's weapon.

#AskJD @JD_2020 how many prestiges are there going to be? 10? 20? 100?
@itsmillatyme 15.

#DW_247 ©
@JD_2020 Why does #CODBlackOps look like #MW2 with different skins? was the engine rehashed? #AskJD
@SuckaB Nope. It's a heavily modified / enhanced #CoDWaW engine.

@JD_2020 #askjd how many frames per second are you guys running on the Xbox?
@RaJeKaJe04 720p, 60 frames per second.

#ASKJD Did you basically add stopping power to the guns? Like did you increase the weapon strength to compensate for no stopping power?
@NellZzzCFG No.

@JD_2020 #AskJD Please will you confirm if the 4 zombie maps are from W@W, and will they be available for seperate purchase?
@maddenking1234 The only way to get the #CoDWaW Zombies maps presently is to buy the Hardened or Prestige editions. I can't predict future.

@JD_2020 #AskJD How in-depth will the online statistic tracker be?
@heartbraden I can tell you the in-game Stats Tracking is the deepest in #CODBlackOps it's ever been in Call of Duty.

#AskJD will the Ps3 have the player card feature as well?
@D_Sutt25 Absolutely.

@JD_2020 Will you answer any Zombies-related questions? Or have you been instructed otherwise? #AskJD
@Llamaspajamas Not instructed. It's always been our strategy to be as vague as possible regarding Zombies . That's part of the game!

@JD_2020 #AskJD what happens if people report people that hasnt done anything and what will be the punishments for cheating, boosting,modin?
@sku96 We review all reports before taking action. Theater mode makes that possible.

#AskJD What's Hardened Pro?
@CRotondi NOT Stopping Power (I know that's where you're going with that haha).

@JD_2020 will u be patching glitches regularly #AskJD
@thexxhawkxx Absolutely. We put out over half a dozen patches for #CoDWaW. Rest assured we'll aggressively support #CODBlackOps post-ship.

@JD_2020 Does theater mode also record campaign? #AskJD
@AlineaShawn Negative. It's a Multiplayer feature only.

@JD_2020 Does theater mode also record campaign? #AskJD
@AlineaShawn But Capture Cards are quite affordable these days =).

#AskJD will you be able to upload your theatre mode clips to the internet???
@TommiBwei Yes.

@JD_2020 How in-depth are private match settings? Examples? #AskJD
@tpgaubert Very in-depth... More to be revealed soon =).

#AskJD will u guys actually interact with the community throughout the game??
@FiLMaN123 Of course, I'd argue that I did just that with #CoDWaW =P.

@JD_2020 #AskJD will there be a True barebones playlist?
@nkianD Yes. *True* Barebones is in #CODBlackOps.

@JD_2020 #AskJD when you prestige, what is kept? mainly asking bout cp, guns, title, emblems, and stuff like facepaint. #CODBlackOps
@h0ckey10 Emblems.

#AskJD How long does it take for the bomb to blow (in search and destroy)
@BlackOpsDX Same as it's always been.

#AskJD Is it possible to be shot out of the Chopper Gunner?
@xKNKYxKing No, but it can be shot down like any other chopper.

Are bolt action snipers one shot kill due to removal of stopping power ? #askjd
@SideWinder_x Not always. Upper Torso and Head will be, though. You still need to be a good shot with it.

@JD_2020 #AskJD do you earn XP in wager matches?
@d4v1dw1r7h No. You just exchange CP (top 3 positions get paid).

Will I still be able to quickscope? #AskJD
@Herbert_Gun No. Quickscoping is a cheap way to play. We're specifically going to gimp Quickscoping, sorry. Play straight-up!

#AskJD is there still gonna be mellee for akimbo? I don't see how someone can shoot, shank& shoot as fast as someone with only one gun?
@AyyB_Fades Yes you can still melee when dual wielding.

@JD_2020 will theater mode work for zombies? #AskJD
@FrankKemp3 No. But Capture Cards will work, and are much more affordable these days!

@JD_2020 #AskJD scale of 1-10 how's quickscoping going to be
@MHabs3921 0.

@JD_2020 Have you Guys Fixed The Modded lobbys from what we saw from MW2??? #AskJD
@Blake_RFC_101 We believe so. Either way, we'll stay on top of that crap and ensure it doesn't impede the masses.

What happens if you are killed (on the ground) in a controllable killstreak like the Chopper Gunner or Gunship? Same as MW2? #AskJD
@ShadowKnight104 You continue to use said Killstreak, and respawn when it's done. After all, you did earn it.

#askjd why is there not as much gore?
@TacInsertion In MP? Because we used the memory saved to make tons more customization options I think were more valuable than flying limbs.

#AskJD Are Ranked PC Servers forced to run MW2-style playlists like Ground War, Hardcore Moshpit, etc? Can you run a 24/7 Sabotage server??
@6FRGaming You can have a 24/7 Sabotage server. There are no playlists, just preset game mode configurations.

#askJD cam you gift CoDPoints to friends if there bad at the game?
@xXKMac11Xx No, you have to earn your COD Points. There will be no boosting / hording of COD Points to one player =P.

#AskJD. What happens when you have a killsreak and you get another, will you be able to still use both of them??
@cflasche Yes, Killstreaks stack.

#AskJD In private matches can you controll who can join, because in mw2 it got annoying when people kept joining private matches...
@DCarr76 Yeah you can lock down your Private Matches just like your Party Lobbies.

@JD_2020 Can server use /record ?! #CODBlackOps #AskJD
@DerSizeS A server? No.... A player playing on a server? Yes.

#AskJD Will the kills from killstreak rewards still count toward your teams score on team deathmatch??
@ZombieHunter115 Absolutely, they just won't count towards your next-higher Killstreak.

#AskJD Please tell me you're kidding about quickscoping...
@cdkee Nope. Quickscoping is way more annoying to a way larger group of people than the quickscoping community who loves to do it. #cheap

@JD_2020 #AskJD are the shotguns 1 shot kill close up?
@joname14 I suppose if all your rounds hit the right part of the body... If just one pellet hits one foot, probably not...

@JD_2020 #AskJD is the PS3 version a port of the 360 or was there a specific Playstation team used to take advantage of PS3 horsepower?
@brandonNaustin There is a specific PS3 team that makes that version of the game. It's not a "port" - that's just a myth in the community.

@JD_2020 /record only record demo for current player or all players on server? #CODBlackOps #AskJD
@DerSizeS Just you, as always. But PC also has Theater mode, which will have all those features to watch from any perspective.

#AskJD Will Black Ops cause a mess in all 24 pairs of pants I own? Lmao

@JD_2020 #AskJD How exactly did you “counter” quick scoping?

@JD_2020 #AskJD Are the dogs gonna kill in one hit?
@AlexGomez916 Yes, one bite is all it takes.

@JD_2020 The good quickscopers can sniper while using marathon so... you are not stopping us. you know that right? #askJD
@JakeMertz ... Not sure what that has to do with anything =P.

#AskJD @JD_2020 People enjoy Double XP weekends. Are we going to see something like Double COD Points weekends??
@mattymcgregor14 Perhaps. Only time will tell!

#AskJD is there stooping power in Black Ops?
@SoldierBoy321 No Stopping Power, No Juggernaut, No Deathstreaks in #CODBlackOps.

#AskJD are there any good sniper rifles that can be used to quikscope?!?!!
@joahmassey No sniper rifles will be useful for Quickscoping.

#AskJD Wager Matches-can you choose which game type, or is it a random one out of the 4 types?
@d4v1dw1r7h Depends on which playlist you choose. You will be able to pick a specific type to play if you want to, though.

#AskJD are there any advantages to prestiging?
@DCarr76 Of course =). But that's classified.

#CODBlackOps #AskJd @JD_2020 Is Call of duty black op going to have 4 player offline split screen multiplayer..like the previous cod games?

Little-Known Facts: Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer for PS3
Posted by Josh Olin // Community Manager, Treyarch
Hello! I’m Josh Olin (aka JD_2020), and thank you for the opportunity to highlight some of the features that Call of Duty: Black Ops will deliver to PS3 fans when it launches on November 9th. A number of these features are ones that I think the community has been wanting for a long time, which is why we’ve worked really hard to deliver. So let’s get started!

Multiplayer Online Split-Screen Support
Let’s get started with what I believe is the most unknown, yet confirmed, aspect to Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer – the online split-screen support we’ve re-introduced to the franchise!
The Facts:
You can connect a second controller and bring a guest online (i.e. “JD_2020” & “JD_2020(1)”).
Guests can rank up, earn unlocks, etc – all guest progress goes away once signed out.
You can bring a second, full PSN account online!
Both players with full PSN ID’s can rank up while playing together in split-screen, as if on two separate consoles.
Custom Games Editor
Allow me to introduce the Black Ops Custom Games Editor! Private matches have never been this customizable. Players will have the ability to structure their games at all new levels of granularity. From variables as simple as Time Limit and Score Limit, or as deep as which weapons, Perks, and gear are available. You want a Pistols Only match? Make one! No longer do custom game modes rely on the “honor system.”
Furthermore, any Custom Game you create and configure can be placed in your File Share, for friends and the community to browse, download, and enjoy. You just might create the most addictive new game mode of all time from the comfort of your own living room!

In-Game Friends List
We’ve integrated a built-in Friends List into the in game user interface. You’ll be able to browse Recent Players, Friends, navigate their File Shares, Recent Games, Combat Records – all within this in-game menu system designed to streamline the social process within the game. Sending game invites and joining Friends’ games has never been simpler than in Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Regional Matchmaking & Party Privacy
Call of Duty: Black Ops will support regional matchmaking filters on a global scale. So, no matter where you’re at in the world, you will have the ability to specify whether you want to match with players from other geographical regions, or only those local to you. This will make communication and lag a much less intrusive variable on your gameplay experience.
Additionally, given Black Ops will support joining games in progress via an even simpler built-in in-game Friends List interface, we’ll allow a Party leader to lock down his lobby to Invite Only, Friends Only, or even Close it altogether if he wants to be in complete control over who enters and exits the Party Lobby.

Emblems Do NOT Reset with Prestige
This one is pretty cut-and-dried. A frequently asked question is, “Will my kickass emblem I spent hours perfecting be lost when I prestige?” The answer is “NO!” Emblems are one of the only aspects of Black Ops MP that do not get a full reset upon entering Prestige. Things that will reset when you Prestige are: XP, COD Points, Challenge progressions, Loadouts, and so forth.
So that’s just a few of the lesser-known components to Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer, confirmed for the first time here on the official PlayStation.Blog! For more information regarding Black Ops, and all the new features included in multiplayer, head over to our official YouTube channel and watch all the different trailers we have highlighted from the game. Additionally, you can follow me on Twitter (@JD_2020) for more news and updates.
