Check out this Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer video, released by Treyarch today. It’s a teaser, so it is only about a minute and a half long, but Treyarch shows off some cool new toys that they have been working on so diligently.





Here’s what Geek-Republic writer Matt, and I thought about the video:

Mike: Sweet!
Mike: I love it. The ballistic knife is great.
Mike: Though the RC car seems a bit too powerful for a simple 3-kill streak…
Mike: The graphics look solid. Theater is going to be an awesome feature.

Matt: Yeah, it does look good.
Matt: A little Gears of War-like.

Mike: Though for a game that is supposed to start in the Vietnam era, it looks quite modern.
Mike: I wonder how many years it is supposed to span…

Matt: Yeah, MP looks modern.
Matt: Exploding crossbow, leaping…
Matt: You did see the leap/roll?

Mike: I did miss the leap/roll, I will need to see that again

Matt: The roll is at 0:36.

Mike: I knew the exploding crossbow was in there from the first teaser, glad it made it into multiplayer.
Mike: I belive the crossbow can be outfitted with different attachments, since it is listed as “Crossbow Explosive Tip”.
Mike: It looks like there is a remote camera in the beginning too – the “hunter” looks to have planted it, and his “prey” is in the room showing up on his screen in camera.
Mike: So he comes in for the kill and picks up his camera.

Matt: Kind of like a sentry gun but with a camera.

Mike: “Camera Spike”
Mike: Clearly, unlockable call sign titles and emblems are back.
Mike: If you look at about 0:56, you will see a remote controlled shoulder fired rocket when the RC car is driving.
Mike: It flies over the car, out the window, hangs a left.

Matt: It looks great so far.

So that’s what we thought of the new video. Now that we have had our say, what do you think?

Imagine it, Christmas day and many American teens were furiously unwrapping gifts found under their trees.  What would any young, red-blooded American want more than the latest from Infinity Ward; Modern Warfare 2?  What did they really get though?  Could it be possible that, instead of the wondrous game they were expecting, they were given a glitch riddled game?
