aka COD7. Made by Treyarch (guys that did COD3 and World at War). On PC, PS3 & Xbox 360 being released in November

Most important thing about the game: Dedicated servers ARE back!

Trailer:



Anyone looking at getting this?

yeah 2 copies no doubt, this will be CoD's last decent game for players like myself. If it has dedicated servers and is mod friendly there is no reason (so long as they have learnt from W@W) that this cant be a success.

Infinity Ward has more or less gone down the gurgler, so whether there is another COD or who if it gets made/who it gets made by could be a mystery

Ill be getting this too, hopefully there will be more SP Co-Op like on the last W@W

Despite BC2 being "Buggy" it still kills every Call Of Duty game released. Only thing I miss is Co Op on W@W so hopefully this one has some form of Co Op mode, otherwise Im afraid itll get shuffled away behind BC2 :(

Heard a few promising things lately, mod tools dedi servers are the most important, have heard of a beta but will see what happens.

Heres the MP trailer (console, aim makes me cringe) its been out for a while but couldn't see it posted here.
Modern Warfare 2 (2nd edition) anyone? Guess they decided to show Infinity Ward how to do it properly...




If this doesn't take off I might head into permanent Starcraft 2, when I get the money to get it :larf:

It looks like what W@W was to MW ... basically just MW2 with different guns.

However apparently theres dedicated servers and mod tools for this ... so ya never know

I have recently started playing this again, just cause I want my stats signature to say KDR of 2, im at 1.94 at the moment.

It feels as though they have fixed most of the issues I was having with it except all I see for server pings is either 999 or just a line -. Even tried all the fixes so obviously still a few bugs.

Also its fun tracer darting the snipers who do nothing but sit one place in spawn whole game :D

If you still play cod4 have a look at the galactic warfare mod that has been made (ala star wars) apparently quite a bit of effort went into it new maps models etc and has turned out to be a decent mod.

You should see some of the people who rage at me and corrin doing that to everyone! lol. Especially Ben and Chainsaw, they suck quite a bit so we stick tracers on them to distract the enemy towards them as bait!

http://blackops.digitalwarfare247.com/n ... eal-pc-faq

It's looking pretty good, most problem area's from the last few titles have been covered.

It's shame they don't have a minimum requirements yet. But I'm sure all that will come in time _b .

Some video's showing off some of the UI and the currency system which I don't quite understand yet but I'm thinking it will be somewhat similar to Combat Arms currency system _b

http://callofduty.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=270441 Time for a careful read of this, all looking great, lots of things that have been learnt obviously...till wait, what, oh your not f'n serious

GameServers.com Exclusive: Confirmed
We have partnered with GameServers.com as the exclusive provider of dedicated servers for Call of Duty: Black Ops. Every dedicated server for this title will be running on top quality hardware and infrastructure with excellent bandwidth. There will be a ton of official servers at launch for everyone to play on for free. If you want to run your own server you will be able to rent one at a great price (which will never go higher than $0.99/slot). They are actively adding new server locations and staffing up to meet global demand. If you don’t see your location you can suggest it here: http://www.gameservers.com/blackops/


Yea thats right there'll be dedicated servers allright but at this stage only from gameservers.com.... o_O :ffs:

Not as bad as MW2 to be honest.

Seems o.k for regular Joe Bloggs who play 30 mins a night.

The people that'll be really affected are the modders and clan member, although they should still have control over the server, just not where it's located

>_<


Will still play it although not on the level of cod4. At least it has dedicated servers, unlike mw2 where when I host games my data cap gets dominated.

Some extra additions to this game are different modes found here:

I particularly like the "one in the chamber" one :smokin:
"Fight with only one bullet in the chamber and your knife to keep you safe. Eliminate your enemies to take their bullet and move on."

I'm pretty sure my standards have dropped since MW2, always liked CoD, so will probably buy, especially after some of the feedback I've read from the online beta of the new MoH

I read this (if you read the full content I posted in those links) as there will be many servers (provided by gameservers.com) throughout the world, they request that if you want to rent a server and there is none in your area that you request it and they will try to keep up with demand. So connection to the server's could be quite awesome.

Modders will be looked after later on once the game has worked through any niggles to a final release they will release a modders pack.

No fully dedicated server's is a shame, but I imagine there is a possibility this could change after launch.
