Looks exactly like CoD4, again.

My point of view, the perks are following MW2. I saw steady aim PRO, Humiliated and humiliation. :/

Here's snippets about the PC version:

- Steamworks
- 18 players for ranked, 24 players for unranked
- www.GameServers.com will be the exclusive provider of servers
- Matchmaking will just be the game just picking a random server and placing you in it
- Server browser will be improved

And according to GameServers.com, there isnt any servers provided in SEA. Closest servers are in either Japan or Sydney. So, no local servers.

Thanks, Activision.

As long as the game can host server (i.e cod4), good enough. We have generous people like BVPN or Narakka to host for the Asian gamers. But again, bare the lag la cause new game, everyone sure rush to play wan. I'm thinking of buying this game.

no sea server worse than no dedicated server because the lag will be unplayable for me. if it like mw2 there is still some chance that ill be playing with local host...

Dear Customer,

Subject: Will there be servers for South East Asi

Hi,

I am writing from Malaysia and I was told that www.GameServers.com will be
the exclusive provider of servers for COD Black Ops. However, I noticed
that you have servers nearest to South East Asia(SEA) which is Japan and
Australia. My question is will there be SEA servers for South East Asian
Black Ops gamers? Your reply would clear plenty of my doubts. Thank you.

Sincerely,
nipaa1412

The server files is exclusive to Gameservers.com. Narakka and BVPN have no access to them. BFBC2 was similar to this, but Fragnetics have the server files and we are able to host our servers at SEA.

As long as Gameservers.com do not have any hosted servers at SEA, we are pretty much GG.

Im ok, as their server is at Sydney, but when i come back, it's all gonna be lag.

I think the worst part is we have to use IWNet alike system when the rest using servers. That would definitely be epic fail.

The game play looks a lot like MW2.

Less spammy.

Might get it, as CoD4 stock could be darn annoying with the amount of spamming.

Some of you may be extremely excited about the future release of the next installment of the newest installment of the Call of Duty franchise. The Black Ops [or "COD7"] installment appears to be very close to Modern Warfare 2 that was made by the basically defunct developer that went by the name of Infinity Ward. As things have gone in the past, Treyarch, the developer of COD: Black Ops, is basically taking the previous COD game engine and slightly tweaking it with new game modes and new maps and models. Personally, I’m not too big of a fan of these Treyarch games… but after what Activision and Infinity Ward did to MW2 on the PC… it’s hard to live up to worse expectations.

This leads us to today’s announcement - Call of Duty: Black Ops will definitely have dedicated servers. That is, as long as you get them from gameservers.com. We can compare that with Henry Ford's legendary statements that customers can have a car in any color as long as it’s black. The gameservers.com statement goes,



So, for those of you that thought that Treyarch and their announcement of dedicated servers would bring back life to the COD franchise, Activision appears to have made sure that they limited it to the point of not really being dedicated anymore. This appears to be yet another game that has been ruined by the narrow mindedness of management that only wants to see margins and deliver dates rather than a good game. This, in the end, will hurt Activision greatly as they are effectively killing off a franchise on a platform that it originally started on. Interestingly though, it looks like Activision Blizzard is desperate to repeat the curious case of Electronic Arts and their fall from grace.

If MW2 didn’t leave a bad taste in gamers’ mouths, there’s a good chance that the way Activision is handling Black Ops may. Here is also a new game play video of COD: Black Ops that was just released.

HAHHAHA then you have to stay in aussie already laa.

Following BC2's footsteps huh. Did they really think EA's idea is great?

So what about the mod tools? Running mods on official servers?

I think Treyarch did more homework than IW in the end. I mean look at CoD WAW. It has 4gig+ size DLC. Personally, lets take it with a light heart. There has been too much negative waves going around lately and Treyarch are just developers trying to earn a living too. Moreover, gameservers.com haven't rule out that there will be no servers in SEA(look at my post earlier). Gamers we may be but lets take things easy for the devs too.

Well...As long as it has dedicated servers..We ppl dont need to face lagness now...I bet there will be competitive gaming for COD7...But I reali dont understand the new currency system...Make it look like Those MMOFPS games where u hav to earn money and Customize ur cHaracter...So sad...

did u read the previous posts? there will be dedicated servers but are EXCLUSIVE to gameservers.com. meaning, we wont able to host our own server and they still havent announce yet whether there will be servers for SEA. until then, enjoy your 'lagness' ping.

however, i used to play with jpn players in mw2, and they are the host. the connection is not that bad, since i was getting like 7~8 bars out of 10. maybe it might be the same for BO. who knows?

Then everytime you play Wager match you'll heard this after the enemy bullet gone off and miss the target.

this game would be screwed if there's no LAN.

I'm happy there are dedi servers. I can play BFBC2 on PS3 with american players and there is no lag so japan and Australia will
be easy.

The currency system is just for you to unlock weapons like FAMAS without waiting till the level that unlock the gun.
