COD Black Ops looks pretty good on PC

All those cheering that there will be dedicated servers...by the looks of it there will be zero anti-cheat. My guess is it will be steam integrated....may as well do what everyone else has done in mw2 download it hack steam and cheat away, get banned, rinse and repeat.
 
I'll be buying, but not expecting a game as good as Modern Warfare 2, though. Graphics don't look to be quite as good (much in the same way World at War fell down to Modern Warfare in parts), and I don't doubt that the single player campaign won't be up to par.

Still, here's to hoping it's worth it for a bit of entertainment, at least.

Won't some servers be moderated though?
 
servers will have admins just like other mps . its using vac which is through steam instead of pb . thing is some feel pb is better some feel vac is better . in truth vac updates more often and is harder to hack than pb.

im looking forward to the game and will enjoy it :D
 
people give servers too much praise

i know clan servers and the clans cheat
most of them do.
its hard to find a trusted admin
its also VAC cheat system
as with every game they say theyll try to kill out the hackers
but after launch they dont do anything


btw - fyi - all mw2 cheats work on steam for BOps
 
Call of Duty: Black Ops PC Multiplayer FAQ

Ranked Servers: earn XP and currency. Wager Servers: gamble your currency. Customizable Unranked Servers. Combat Training against practice dummies. Theater. Create-a-Class "2.0." Contracts. Emblem editor. Everything the consoles get. Implemented in a way that makes sense for PC (*cough* no lobbies *cough*).

PC Features: Confirmed

Mod Tools: Confirmed
We will release mod tools sometime post-launch. We need to finish the game first. Then we will make sure any urgent issues are handled. Then we will begin work on tools. The extent of the mod tools package will not be known until this time.

Global Persistent Stats, Profiles: Confirmed
Your profile data is stored on servers for you and is accessible from anywhere on the internet. Stats, XP, COD Points, configs, etc.

Leaderboards: Confirmed
Yes, leaderboards - globally persistent leaderboards (i.e. NOT per-server based).

Steam Exclusive: Confirmed
Millions of Call of Duty fans are already on Steam. Their Friends are on Steam. Steam will provide the ease of auto-updating instead of manual patching. Auto-updating will also help keep the community playing together on the latest version. The Steam cloud will make your profile and configs available to you on any computer.

VAC: Confirmed
We are serious about protecting the integrity of this game from hackers and cheaters who would otherwise ruin the fun for the honest players. Used in conjunction with our own anti-exploit measures, Theater reviews, trusted servers, and supplemented by server admins with kick and ban powers we believe that Valve Anti-Cheat will be an effective solution for Call of Duty: Black Ops PC. We are committed to working closely and diligently with Valve to deal with new threats as they appear.

No “Public Server Files”: Confirmed
Many of these game features are predicated on having a trusted host or server. Otherwise these features would be wide-open to easy exploits and rampant cheating. Also, anti-cheat solutions can be significantly more effective on games that rely on trusted servers. We chose against “public server files” in favor of providing full feature support and protecting the integrity of this title. This doesn't mean you won't have customization or admin capabilities with your servers - because you will. This simply means we've partnered with an exclusive server provider.

GameServers.com Exclusive: Confirmed
We have partnered with GameServers.com as the exclusive provider of dedicated servers for Call of Duty: Black Ops. Every dedicated server for this title will be running on top quality hardware and infrastructure with excellent bandwidth. There will be a ton of official servers at launch for everyone to play on for free. If you want to run your own server you will be able to rent one at a great price (which will never go higher than $0.99/slot). They are actively adding new server locations and staffing up to meet global demand. If you don’t see your location you can suggest it here: http://www.gameservers.com/blackops/

Max Players: Not Confirmed
We have not yet finalized the maximum number of players in ranked or unranked servers. More playtesting is required to determine how high these numbers can go. This happens as late as possible in the project otherwise the game is likely to change in ways that could invalidate the results.

Surely it's decided in the map creation phase?

Forget MW2 this is what it should have been, I'm looking forward to it and for the people that don't already know yes it will have DS.
It just seems people still have a lot of hurt left over from this time last year, to me MW2 never happened.

i agree

looking forward to this Treyarch/Grey Matter were responsible for CoD UO and WaW and i enjoyed the multiplayer from those games more than the IW games

while MW2 had some serious flaws it did have a lot of potential and if treyarch sort it out the this one should be great

Mmm, I'm a PB Bans SGA and an AoN PSA as well as a member of Euro-Domination League. I have to say that I have yet to come across a clan of hackers in the circles that I rub shoulders with. Seriously, I would like to hear more on these clan servers and admins you talk about as IMO this is far from the normality.

Anyhoo, cheapest pre-order I have found for the game thus far is at Tesco Entertainment. Enter the code FTSL15-1 and you get it for £29.74 PLUS free delivery.

I have both UK and USA servers pre-ordered for Black Ops, a bit gutted that it will be using VAC2 instead of PB. My reasons for this is simply down to the fact that you can submit PB screenshots and can have GUIDs banned by demo (at least if you stream to PB Bans), however, as mentioned earlier, VAC2 does update much more regularly so before I whine about it, I'll simply use it and then give verdict :)

So you already have your copy of BO to check your hacks work?
Way to go, nice attempt at tarring all clans with the same brush, be sure to visit my server so i can test the perma-ban button, good lad.

So your basically saying that most clans cheat? Your dead wrong.
 
hahaah love the comment's guys to my response about the disk size lolz, it was a random guess going on previous games, even though i play the MP element of the game but i think a SP game that has more than 4hrs gameplay would be something i would like to see, always find that i start to get into the SP then it's finished
