Hey All!
Alright, so something that you might not know about me is that one of my favorite game series of all time is Call of Duty. And with Call of Duty: Black Ops just around the corner I am so freaking stoked! I am constantly reading up on all the stuff that is to come in this new installment in the series and finding myself more and more excited they have yet to disappoint! Well reading through a few things tonight, I found out a little bit more about the Multiplayer mode, a combat training mode for those who have never played multiplayer before, and even more exciting a currency to be introduced to the game!
First a quick look at the combat training apparently you will get to choose this option to try and get a little practice in on playing in the live mulitplayer mode. The idea came from a dummy the team created named Larry who stood in the field and reported back damaged received to the programmers, soon everyone even the Devs wanted Larry to be a little more and he was developed into a full package thus bring AI opponents into the game. In this mode you will get to choose to play alone or with friends. There is not much information out on this right now but as soon as I come across more I will be posting on it for now lets just leave it at this.
Next CURRENCY! So if you have ever played a Call of Duty game you know that a huge part of the fun is trying to unlock the different items, and Kill streaks. With the introduction of CP or "CoD Points" we see a whole new idea to getting the stuffs you want. Instead of waiting for it to unlock now you can save up the amount of CP it takes and use that to open it up instead. It also seems that our perks will be changed around a little bit, something like choosing Ghost will put you in guilly suit where as scavenger will give you lots of pouches on your armor. This will also be seen by other players so that they will know at a glance what perks you have equipped.
Alright so what is cash in hand without a bit of gambling?! Well the creators of Black Ops fully agree! They have created a series of four multiplayer games called "Wage Matches" which allow people to ante up and compete against each other for the combined CP, the top three players of each match walk away with it split between them. The rest, well lets just say better luck next time!
Another way to make money goes to the always loved version where you are a "hitman"! Alright, alright not so much but you do get to have the fun of "buying" a "contract" with your CP. You then have to complete said contract in the amount of time allotted. For example, you buy a contract that says you are going to kill 50 players in four matches, if you complete this you will be payed back in more CP then you paid for the contract thus turning a profit. If you are epic fail and somehow do not complete this contract you loose your monies all together and are left broke and on the streets left to beg for CP!
Something I always look forward to is customization! In Black Ops you will be able to customize your weapons even further! And even be able to create emblems and place them on your guns! It seems that new gear has been added to our beloved care packages as well! There is a Gatling gun, an off site mortar team, a remotely controlled bomb, a movable SAM turret that targets any aircraft in the Area, a special RPG and my personal favorite a napalm strike! Who doesn't just love to sit back and watch things burn in sticky goo??
And lastly something all of us epic players look forward to, the ability to not only brag about our achievements in game but to also be able to SHOW them off! Black Ops will allow the player to record their matches! You will then be able to save, store, share and browse! Show off how good you are, and see how epic fail everyone else is! :P
Just in case you all were wondering yes Zephy plays live mode she is addicted to killing peoples and reviles in the opportunity to do so in MW2! My beloved Callsign and Emblem:

The four wage matches are actually pretty awesome in their own rights! "One in the Chamber" is a battle of the pistol! Everyone gets one pistol and one bullet, killing an opponent gives you another bullet well missing means you are left with just your knife, now don't worry to much! If you manage to kill someone with your knife then you will be granted another bullet to go about trying to kill people! "Sticks and Stones" arms each player with a tomahawk and a crossbow! Yes folks you heard me right a freaking crossbow! If you manage to kill an opponent with a tomahawk it automatically puts them at bankrupt in the match thus making them have to work to get all their CP back and to try and win the match :P This is probably going to be one of my favorites! "Gun Game" is a battle royal! Players will progress through different tiers of guns where killing a player will get you the next level of gun but die and you are dropped back down! Last but not least we have "Sharp Shooter" this match is designed to be a weapons knowledge game. Every player will have the same weapon at a time but the weapons are randomly generated and at the end of a set period of time the weapon will change to a different one. I must say I am fully excited for all four of these matches and can't wait to start betting my CoD Points away! :P
