New details

2-4 players co-op
The level called Black Cats in WaW is some of the memorable moments (include the music), so I am looking forward how they do with the SR-71 aka Black Bird.

last time i check call of duty 7 is based on vietnam war isn't it???
after watching the trailer kind of hard to link it to vietnam war.....

Yes the final outcome of the Korean War is the line still drawn at the 38th Paralell but the entire Korean War is so much drama, with South Korean being push to the brink of collapse at the begining of the war, save by MacArthur, then Americans almost push the line all the way to the chinese border. Then China joins the fray and helping the North Korean getting back up to the 38th Parallel.



I say this is a very interesing war as this is the first ever armed cold war confrontation with Soviet tanks vs American troops. There is no glorious win but the struggle for the 38th parallel is no short of epic.

GIMME KOREAN WAR NAO

how so? if north korea wins japan will be next on the chopping block by them.

but but in CoD:WAW i play more co-op in campaign than MP... atleast can co-op in zombie mode.. that also acceptable

Depends on how good is the actual game, i think.

From what i heard, there are some people say Treyarch make better CoD than IW, as they are better on map design and weapons balancing.

I never played a Treyarch CoD before, so, i think Black Ops will be my first.

well activision is currently claiming that black ops mp will be better then mw2, so far iw has better story telling then treyarch, and now well gotta see what treyarch going to push for their BO, the E3 sp footages were not that interesting. but who knows they might make it more fun in that few months

Are there any Australian Promod servers?

I hate Killhouse so much, as it's just a spam fest map.

Usually just use a LMG with deep impact for random spraying. Still can kill some. I dont have 3x frag yet. I dont want to use Martydom, as it annoy the crap out of everyone on server.

Thats like one reason why i actually enjoyed MW2, as the maps are generally better designed but it can get quite lonely when everyone decides to camp.

I think BFBC2 is still my cup of tea.

Ok...my money is  ready to buy this game!

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.

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.

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.

Too bad then , i guess i'll skip BO and get MOH if there's any decent servers to play on. 

Well, it is confirmed that there is no local SEA servers.

Closest is Japan or Australia. Even Western Australia doesnt have any servers.

What Activision is doing is far worse than EA with BFBC2. One provider is too little.

Look at the location of the server farm.

No SG, MY or any SEA country.

Even they do have one aussie server farm, but one in Sydney is way too little, as they are like 400 CoD4 servers in Australia.

Im still not buying BO.

Don't be naive man thinking about it basically means no.

COD:MW is pretty much the last competitive game for COD series. COD:WAW just doesn't attract competitive players to move over and MW2 is more to casual play.

Well, there are people who are also sick of modern weapons now.

Looks at how many modern shooters are there in the market.

any zombie map?!
