Call of Duty Black Ops

[Redlum08]

yeah but nowhere as "better" as Bad Company Vietnam.

Not spending anymore money on BC2 sorry.....lol

[TriniXaeno]

I'd hardly call "US$15.00" money

At that price and based on the feedback from our fellow GATT brethren on how awesome Vietnam was, I couldn't refuse.

SOLD immc.

Wasn't disappointed. Which is more than I can say for BlackOps. (And that cost me a whopping $60 x 2)

The inevitable first downloadable content pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops was announced over the weekend on Microsoft's Major Nelson Radio podcast.

Dubbed 'First Strike,' the pack of five maps will launch on February 1, 2011, priced at 1,200 Microsoft Points ($15). As per Microsoft's arrangement with publisher Activision, it'll be released first on Xbox 360. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 map packs released under the same arrangement took around a month to make it PC and PlayStation 3.

"We learned a lot of lessons in the development and design of the maps on the shipped game," developer Treyarch's director of online Dan Bunting explained. "For DLC we really wanted to go bigger with some of the things we learned that people liked. We focused a lot more on providing variety of weaponry, variety of engagement types, variety of verticality--a lot more verticality, bringing some sniper opportunities into it."

"One of the popular things we've added in several of the maps in the shipped game were the scripted moments, scripted elements and interactivity" he added, "so that's something we've made sure we wanted to bring to every single one of the new maps.

The five maps are:

Multiplayer

* Berlin Wall: set around the Checkpoint Charlie crossing in divided Berlin.
* Discovery: German research base in Antarctica, abandoned since World War 2.
* Kowloon: on the rainy rooftops of Kowloon City in China, drawing inspiration from the single-player.
* Stadium: a hockey rink in the North-Eastern USA.

Zombie

* Ascension: still classified information, apparently.

"$15 for that?" you might scoff. Scoff all you want! The first MW2 DLC pack racked up over one million sales on Xbox 360 on launch day alone. Given that the base game of Cod Blops broke MW2's one- and five-day sales records, it's a fair bet that First Strike will sell more than a few copies. Doubtless, Activision will kindly and loudly inform us of how well it sells.

ummm, NO I shall not contribute anymore to BC2 on PC, much less on Xbox Live... EA fooled me too many times with their "FREE" Mappacks, which were pretty much the same maps, just different gametypes on those maps....now they want 1200 points for Vietnam...they could keep that. The sweats will die out eventually and everyone will be back to Bops and Halo Reach anyway...

[Redlum08]

[ViCe]

Gameplay is extra smooth on Xbox Live too

much easier to use m&kb on ps3 and online FREE too

[TriniXaeno]

why do you say its much easier to use mouse and keyboard on PS3 blu_vice?

Has that been your experience?

[VirtueTT]

m&kb has its advantage of accuracy but the 360 control is designed pretty good for FPS imo and allows comfortable and satisfying gameplay. And you doh wanna start back that whole system argument for W1nTry and Redlum to get heated up again. To each his own! =D.. you shud go back a few pages and read that eye gouging discussion

[TriniXaeno]

I think he means from a technical perspective.

As in, it is easier to hook up a kb&m to the PS3 vs the 360.

I was firmly of the impression that both systems needed adapters for that to work in game.

[Spazosaurus]

Yeah you need a converter for the ps3 as well.

For those who skipping out on Vietnam, you are only missing out on a whole HEAP of awesome. You will not be missed.

Wyatt you get the xim? how it running report backkk.

[TriniXaeno]

Heading by the shippers today. ETA 6 hours.

Death of W1ntry and Redlum in T-Minus 12 hours.

[Eroo]

The game companies actually put code in the games to disable keyboard and mouse because u can use them fine in the xmb. Thats why these devices come out basically fool the system into thinking a controller is being used.

The only game I know of on PS3 which doesn't do this is Unreal Tournament 3. You can plug in your standard usb k&m

[TriniXaeno]

So you can just run keyboard and mouse normel with UT3?

hmm. Well I really can't understand why the rest of game developers are purposefully preventing it.

I thought it was a system wide thing.
