I soiled myself when I saw the new trailer. Their series of explosions and random utterings is already a better plot than modern warfare 2. MP will be standard call of duty fare, but with dedicated servers.
Michael Bay movies have a more coherent plot than MW2.
This. I remember when the game released how much the M60 OWNED then they nerfed it in like the first big patch and you couldnt hit the broadside of a barn with it :-\
this game looks epic! I hope they make it bloody and gory as mw2 has no gore and minimal blood.
Btw, Activision are the dbags behind pricing so they will probably make this $60 for the PC as well.
BC2, by EA, was appropriately priced @ $50 upon release.

Singleplayer
* Vietnam is just a small part of the story. The games story is set across a large period of time.
* Some of the singleplayer maps are based on multiplayer maps, which is usually the other way around.
* In some missions you have the option to move in stealthily or go in guns blazing.
* The enemy AI is smarter. They will now try to dodge if you aim at them.
Multiplayer
* Multiplayer has been in development from day one.
* Lean is back!
* Vehicles will be returning.
* Create-A-Class 2.0 includes deep customization and new features.
* The game will include a "barebones" game mode.
1. As the name implies, there won't be any perks or killstreaks, just old school gameplay.
* Many familiar weapons will be making a return, including the AK-47.
* The region filter is back.
* Improved matchmaking and server browser.
* Modern Warfare 2's host migration will be included.
* Auto-Aim can be turned on/off.
* PC gamers will be able to enjoy the comfort and luxury of dedicated servers.
* The PC version will have an anti-cheat software, but it's unknown if it's Punkbuster.
* There will be support for the competitive community, which will include great tools.
* The team focusing on the multiplayer aspect of the game is twice the size (World at War).
Co-op Mode
* There will be 2-4 player co-op.
* Supports 2 player offline split-screen.
* It won't be based on the singleplayer campaign.
* Zombies might be making a return from World at War.
Miscellaneous
* The game engine is a heavily modified version of the IW engine which was used in World at War.
* The game runs at 60 FPS!
* Physics destruction is going to be limited, so no Battlefield Bad Company 2 style "blow holes in the walls" gameplay.
* The PC version will look better than the console versions (duh).
* There are over 200 people working on Black Ops!

The game will only support DX9 no DX10 or 11
Just like all past cod based games which still uses a heavily modified Q3 engine.
BF Vietnam was the only Vietnam game that did it for me. Eve of Destruction was fun as hell too.
PC
Lets talk PC multiplayer a bit more than I already did. The PC team is the same PC team from World at War, and all platforms are being developed side by side, with only the assets being ported over, not the game itself. First off, as always, there were not a lot of answers to our questions as this was a SP event. As I mentioned in a previous news post, there are dedicated servers, as to their nature, whether or not they are like the World at War servers where we got the files, or whether or not they are to be like DICEs Bad Company 2 where the servers have to be rented from a Trusted GSP. Treyarch have mentioned that there will be an improved server browser from that of World at War, thats a good thing in my book, cause that server browser was odd to say the least. They also confirmed that there will be an anti-cheat of some sort, no word on which yet, but that there will be (basically what I think this means is that, when MW2 was made, Activision may have made an agreement with Valve to use Steam and VAC together for subsequent CoD titles, but I could be wrong. For those of you so persistant in the community about MOD TOOLS, let me explain why they havent given us an answer basically its this: if they were to say mod tools now and then down the line before release, higher ups tell them not to, wed all be pissed as hell; also mod tools require a new development team, which means one of two things, either pulling people from working on the game proper, or spending more money and hiring a new team (the latter usually doesnt happen) So next time you ask me why they havent announced mod tools, its because they dont want to either let you down, or take away development strength from the game.
I asked about patching the game and praised the support from them during World at War and how, even though MW2 had come out in November, they still patched WaW and it made it near perfect (in my mind anyhow). Anyhow when I asked about free DLC and patches for the PC, I received this comment from Mark Lamia, Cesars (@pcdev) job is to produce a bug free game as far as Im concerned, but its safe to assume well get patches, free DLC on the other hand may have gone the way of the Dodo.
