I will most likely get this game, as long as the single player blows me away and the multiplayer is fun. As MW2 delivered both, I have high hopes for this. And I can't wait for the inevitable Modern Warfare Thr-

NO >:O

I want to see Soap and Price die a horrible death as the American protagonist dances on their dead bodies!

Just put $5 down to pre-order my copy, and got a really nice poster as a result :3

Also, here's to hoping that the killstreaks are toned down a bit so the average Joe doesn't go 50-0 every game.

Ooh, I love posters to put on my walls. I think I'll preorder this game.

No, the MP44 was another name for the STG-44 rifle.

It's a shame it probably won't be in it, I loved it in WaW.

Found an article anaylisign the trailer and rumours and stuff
Seems pretty good, and I hope there's more stealth missions. I always loved the bits where you take out guards without the others noticing much more than just blowing stuff up.

Anyway, here's the article

Actually, the guns in the video game are far inferior than their real life counter parts for this simple reason alone.

No Hit Points in real life. A bullet goes through yer skull and out the other side, splashing the walls with gray brain matter, you don't get to duck behind some sand bags and heal it over. A 9mm round can take you down in a single shot. A .50 cal to the chest, despite body armour, will fucking kill you, not have you go "oh... I think I got shot... cover time!".

Unless of course it hits the Kevlar helmets that the US army wears. Those can, in fact, stop a bullet from an assault rifle, but will normally get blown off by any caliber off. Still, the bullet won't drill through it, and the guy can get a concussion as a worst case scenario. And people have gotten shot in the face and lived. In the brain...not so much.

A 9mm round can take you down in a single shot.

If you're naked and you bleed out with nobody to help you, yes. But 9mm rounds are pretty overrated. They're very good bullets designed for very good sidearms, but a limb shot won't be fatal, even if that wound is cared for. A kidney shot, a lucky heart shot, or a headshot are your only chances if you all you have is a 9mm pistol. Otherwise you'll just be a sitting duck slowing down your enemies and not killing them.

A .50 cal to the chest, despite body armour, will fucking kill you,

Affirmative. Unless it doesn't pass through any bones or organs (unlikely). If that's the case, all you have to worry about is bleeding out.

not have you go "oh... I think I got shot... cover time!".

Even Call of Duty's Veteran Mode isn't totally realistic. But hey, at least we're not doing all this in real life. War is hell.

Ahh, never heard it with that name before. I believe the AK-47's model was based on the STG. It may not be in service for the Soviet Union at that time, but hey, if they're still using AKs today (I kind of don't believe that), which are now 70 years old, than we may see the STG in this game.

Assault rifle bullets can indeed go through Kevlar helmets, as they originally designed to stop Shrapnel. An 7.62mm round can go through those helmets. The much more important protection is the ballistic plates covering the torso. And yes, people have lived through miraculous things.

A 9mm round can take you down in a single shot.

They're very good bullets designed for very good sidearms, but a limb shot won't be fatal, even if that wound is cared for.

If you get shot in the femoral artery you can easily bleed out if not cared for quickly enough. Hit any arteries in the limbs and someone can bleed out if they don't get treated. 9mm are good for close quarters, as much further than 50m (at least with a pistol, could be further for SMGs... don't have much training with them) it'll pretty much bounce off... maybe break skin. But up close, getting shot with 9mm round could easily kill you.

Affirmative. Unless it doesn't pass through any bones or organs (unlikely). If that's the case, all you have to worry about is bleeding out.

If you get hit in the chest you're pretty much screwed. Too many organs, and the ribs in there. However, I've seen a man live after getting hit in the gut with a .50 cal machine gun. Lucky fuck.

War is hell, and yer right, it's not totally realistic. But that's not the point, video games shouldn't be too realistic as they'll drive most of the core audience away. My original comment was that video game guns are not inferior to their video game counterparts.

My dad works as a graphic designer at a printing company and they're currently working on Black Ops posters. He said he hasn't found one yet, but if he does he's going to get me one. They're huge, high quality 48 x 24 inch posters. Be jealous.

I'll post picks if / when I get one.

Apparently a lot of popular artists are going to be in the CoD: Black Ops sound track. One of those people is Eminem and I'm really gay for him so I will buy the game regardless of if it sucks or not.

Usher, Eminem, Soundgarden and David Guetta,

Wtf, this is getting stupid now. I totally understand music from that era, it really fits and gives immersion, but fucking shit man, come one now....Usher?

Hopefully they will be in the DJ Hero games. I don't think they fully specified which artists is going where. I can understand Eminem though considering a lot of his songs have to do with struggle and have amazing beats. He was also used to promote MW2 so yeah.

Wait, nevermind, it's Eminem, that's even stupider.

I hope this time we really get something better than cod mw.
I have every single cod game except the first one and I have to say, after playing mw, I am a bit dissapointed from what came after.

All I read was "bitch bitch bitch". Nitpicking all the problems that THEY have a problem with. I don't even want to argue with these questions because they're so stupid.

Yeah, that entire article was a big bag of fail. The only half - decent point they made was that it's still at this point unclear as to how co-op will be implemented.
Protip: Any statement wherein one of the central arguments is that noobtubes are underpowered is logically contradictory and can therefor be entirely disregarded.

always wanted to try a cod vietnam game....

That article really wasn't awesome in any way. I have to agree with what Gustavos said, and also add that them complaining about the World at War co-op not counting towards "anything" is ridiculous. Games aren't meant to be played solely for achievements, and the "completion" would be finishing the campaign in co-op. The article is not only foolish complaints that everyone notices, but also extremely short and invaluable to any human being. Besides you, I suppose.

Now, this article is a bit old, so I'm sure some of you have seen it, but for those who haven't and are interested in what will come out of the multiplayer, I suggest you take a look. It basically explains what the difference will be between Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer and Black Ops' multiplayer. Sounds like they will actually be making some improvements, but this is exactly what I thought when Call of Duty 4 was popular and World at War was in the works.
