holly hell hoos, you done so research !

wow how'd you get all that from the video? Do you have another source? Please share.

Hoos is to COD as Ratchet is to Resistance.

All of that came out of a Black Ops MP reveal press event from last night. That is why the video was released as well.

aha.
i see naow!

Another MP video...

and another...

Now there are tons of them out

I like the fact that killstreak rewards don't add to your killstreak. Whilst I like my 22-streak, I know I only had to actually shoot 5 people to get it. This will really make the ks rewards into rewards for having a modicum of skill.

^This, above all else, is a major plus in my book as well. The new modes are interesting as well, but this is great.

Now if they can fix the noobtube, THAT will be a major selling point.

Here is a real nice vid breaking some of the MP stuff down...

I could probably spend hours on my logo in that game.

Wow I might have to get this.

Alright, now I am officially interested.
Better have all the bugs out of this one by launch though.

It all looks & sounds very interesting. I can't wait!

o.O Like that'll happen dude.

Yep, Activision playtests are normally the public release.

Here are the killstreaks...

I was hoping that since they switched developers that it might not be so.
No such luck, I guess.

Good stuff, Hoos. So, they only go to 11, huh? Well, if they don't stack kills for you, that makes sense. Really interested to see the things like attack dogs and RC car. The Blackbird worries me a bit. It seems awesome to me, but I think it'll send everyone into camp mode.

Time will tell, but on the whole it's lookin' good.

Jungle Map...looks really good
