Call of Duty: Black Ops
Being released on November 9, 2010, CoD:BO has been giving nerdgasms all over the internet. Die-hard CoD fan will rejoice, and new comers will fall in love. In this thread, we will dicuss all the new features, explain everything from the bottom up and try to keep you updated.
All New Features
Customization
With this new feature, you can put clan tags and custom made emblems onto your gun. You can also put face paints, change your outfits, the camoes for guns return and much more!
COD Points
COD Points are the new currency system. Instead of getting a gun right away when you hit a certain level and unlocking its attachments and camoes from leveling up, you buy them. That doesn't mean that you'll be able to buy an AK47 at the beginning of the game when you make enough points. The guns are locked by default and will be unlocked when you reach a certain level.
Theater Mode
Much like Halo's thearter mode, you can record your match to use as a reference, to look back at great games, and to upload online. There is a First Person following feature, a Third Person, and Free Cam feature.
Combat Training Mode
CTM allows people to "Practice" for multiplayer mode. Much like how old games like 007 Agent Under Fire and other games had an AI option in the multiplayer, it has been put into here. Players can try out and perfect the use of a certain gun, can get ready for online matches, or just screw around with the AI.
Contracts
Contracts work like challanges, but instead of rewarding you with only Experience, you are rewarded with CoD Points. There is a catch, however. You must put some of your own CoD Points down, and then you must complete the contract within an alotted time limit, or you will lose the money you put down.
Wager Mode
"Put your money where you're mouth is." is a statement that scares the unsure and encourages the cocky. This will make all those shit talkers and "1v1 me" fags rage even further when they lose. Wager matches are a gambling game mode where you put up your COD Points and the winner gets the loot while the loser drowns in tears. The game modes go as followed:
One in the Chamber
This game type is a true test of precision and accuracy. You get one pistol with one bullet and three lives. Kill an enemy, get another bullet. Miss, and you must resort to melee only weapons.
Sticks and Stones
In this game mode, you resort to primative weapons. Crossbows, Tomahawks, Ballistic Knives, and Combat Knives are your only weapons. "What's the catch?" you ask? Tomahawks are inaccurate, they don't go straight like throwing knives do, so they will be given a sort of catch: You lose ALL of you COD Points if you get hit with one.
Gun Game
Pretty much like the food chain of guns. You start off with a pistol and once you kill someone, your weapon is switched to a more powerful gun. However, if you get knifed, you go back a tier. The tiers go as so: Pistols > Shotguns > Submachineguns > Assault Rifles > LMGs > Explosives
Sharp Shooter
Sharp Shooter is a game mode where everyone has the same exact gun for a set time. When the set time is up, the weapon will be switched for a new one and match will go on.
Diving
No, not swimming, diving behind cover. With the new diving feature, you'll be able to diving away or towards your enemy.

Killstreaks
What better way to celebrate 10 kills in a row than a killstreak? With CoD:BO, there some new killstreaks available.
- 3 killstreak: Spy plane & RC-XD

Note: Getting a kill with a killstreak does not add towards your killstreak count. The nuke has also been removed.
