Multiplayer Online Split-Screen Support

Let’s get started with what I believe is the most unknown, yet confirmed, aspect to Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer – the online split-screen support we’ve re-introduced to the franchise!

The Facts:

You can connect a second controller and bring a guest online (i.e. “JD_2020” & “JD_2020(1)”).
Guests can rank up, earn unlocks, etc – all guest progress goes away once signed out.
You can bring a second, full PSN account online! Xbox only
Both players with full PSN ID’s can rank up while playing together in split-screen, as if on two separate consoles. Xbox only

Custom Games Editor

Allow me to introduce the Black Ops Custom Games Editor! Private matches have never been this customizable. Players will have the ability to structure their games at all new levels of granularity. From variables as simple as Time Limit and Score Limit, or as deep as which weapons, Perks, and gear are available. You want a Pistols Only match? Make one! No longer do custom game modes rely on the “honor system.”

Furthermore, any Custom Game you create and configure can be placed in your File Share, for friends and the community to browse, download, and enjoy. You just might create the most addictive new game mode of all time from the comfort of your own living room!

In-Game Friends List

We’ve integrated a built-in Friends List into the in game user interface. You’ll be able to browse Recent Players, Friends, navigate their File Shares, Recent Games, Combat Records – all within this in-game menu system designed to streamline the social process within the game. Sending game invites and joining Friends’ games has never been simpler than in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Regional Matchmaking & Party Privacy

Call of Duty: Black Ops will support regional matchmaking filters on a global scale. So, no matter where you’re at in the world, you will have the ability to specify whether you want to match with players from other geographical regions, or only those local to you. This will make communication and lag a much less intrusive variable on your gameplay experience.

Additionally, given Black Ops will support joining games in progress via an even simpler built-in in-game Friends List interface, we’ll allow a Party leader to lock down his lobby to Invite Only, Friends Only, or even Close it altogether if he wants to be in complete control over who enters and exits the Party Lobby.

Emblems Do NOT Reset with Prestige

This one is pretty cut-and-dried. A frequently asked question is, “Will my kickass emblem I spent hours perfecting be lost when I prestige?” The answer is “NO!” Emblems are one of the only aspects of Black Ops MP that do not get a full reset upon entering Prestige. Things that will reset when you Prestige are: XP, COD Points, Challenge progressions, Loadouts, and so forth.

Pretty bad ass.

I think its suppose to say playstation only, so u can read lol

 

[Chrispy]

I dont think im going to prestige

 

[Sean]

i prestiged like once or twice on MW2, wont be doing that again, lol

was reading some people argue over this and another game like MW2, my problem is that while they both carry the Call of Duty name, they are 2 different companies, both are released by Activision, but Black Ops is from Treyarch and MW2 is from Infinity Ward

in other news, MW3 to be released in 2011/2012? :threaten:

 

[Tengo Juego]

Infinity Ward, as we know it, doesn't exist anymore.

huh?

 

[Tengo Juego]

huh?

All of those important players in Infinity Ward are gone off to EA(Respawn)

EDIT: I was responding to the MW3 comment/joke. Although, I think they(former IW leads) retained that trademark(Modern Warfare)

 

[~Chance~]

Im still debating if i should get it on 360 or PS3... ugh. I have no Mic for PS3, but my xbox is in.. a hot ass room. lol.

Yea if IW develops MW again, it won't be the same team we are used to, my guess is IW will never be involved in MW again and Treyarch will be the sole developer for the IP.

From what I read, some of those guys at IW, that left, had a falling out with Activision over how much ownership Activision wanted to have over the MW property. They all got pissy and went to EA instead. I also read that those guys, are moving away from the military games, seems like they are bored with doing those games. So I don't think you will see them working on a MOH title for EA any time soon either.

Not only was it how much control they wanted over the IP but Activision didn't pay them a shit ton of money, so they went behind their back and started talking to EA about forming Respawn and Activision fired the two leads. Now they have Treyarch as the main developer and they have a new studio (Sledgehammer) to make COD to keep the titles pumping every year. Infinity Ward as a company will most likely shutdown.
