Machinima Respawn (a channel with almost 600k subs) has been taken down due to showing one video of Black Ops beta gameplay. LOL!

Just watched that domination game - how is there a killcam for it? Or does it just show the very last kill from the winning team when the game was won?

It was just the final killcam of the game, where as MW2 shows the game winning killcam.

Seananners posted a video saying he put a new video up on there today, that explains why nobody could find the said video!

Vids are looking great.

Is this game likely to be targeted by hackers etc like MW2 ended up being? It looks like it's on the same engine etc.

It's all server side now so I doubt it will be as bad, although I expect there to be something, but hopefully it's nothing that will ruin online play.

I'm very surprised about the lack of kill steak deaths in the vid above. Its what cod needs. The rc car even looks like it will be quite easy to avoid especially with a head set.

That's very good news. All hosted servers?! I thought I saw some chat about P2P being in place, or do you mean 'authentication' etc is being dealt with by Treyarch?

It is still hosted on a players connection, but there are still servers involved for the matchmaking and playlists, anyway all the stuff that happened in MW2 no longer works unless the person running the hacks gets host and if that happens just leave and find a new game.

Plus there are saved films that you can use as proof to report people now.

EDIT:

Deleted the vid as it is no longer available

Looks fine to me - didn't see any long range shotgun kills, all pretty close quarter.

How long has this beta been running?

They sound great though!

Do they reset the ranks on launch day for this like they do other games?

biron_w · 17 Oct 2010 at 17:18

Holy crap! How slow do you move with LMG's? :eek:

Alrik · 17 Oct 2010 at 17:39

You're not supposed to run around with it

Yeah probably. Won't really matter, leaderboards will be raped with hacked accounts in the first hour more than likely.

biron_w · 17 Oct 2010 at 17:48

They need to make sniper movement that slow as well.

NickM · 17 Oct 2010 at 18:28

Are all these videos that keep getting removed being leaked by people on the closed beta or what?
