Come join. It's a good idea to mention you're from Facepunch or put FP as your clan tag when you join so you get priority over random people.

Sadly, if you want a ranked server there is no way to password your server, according to Google. Be quick because it fills up fast once one or two people are in. If you want to join and the server is full feel free to add me on steam and I'll kick someone that isn't a FP member for you.

If this actually catches on and people start to become regular I'd be happy to give out reserved slots for those that do return a lot.[/quote]

Call of Duty: Black Op's is an upcoming FPS made by Treyarch. It takes place during the cold war era.

[url]http://www.callofduty.com/blackops[/url]

[quote=Copy Paste from Wiki]
Black Ops is said to be set in various locations, including Vietnam and Cuba, and judging from weaponry and dates given in the trailer, it is set between 1960 and 2010. It is planned to be released on November 9, 2010. Treyarch has stated that Black Ops will be much grittier than Modern Warfare 2 and that the differences between World at War and Black Ops will be as significant as the differences between Call of Duty 2 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The trailer released on May 18, 2010 indicated that the game will be significantly more story-oriented and will focus on military cover-ups during the Cold War. Treyarch has also said that Black Ops will feature considerably more stealth than any previous entries in the Call of Duty series.[/quote]

[B]Things to look forward to:[/B]

Code:

A fuckin' minigun.

[B]Character Customization:[/B]

Code:

You can customize your characters appearance, his weapon, and even how your red dot looks.
You can create a tag and etch it onto your weapons, so they’re stamped as yours. The option is also there to alter your sights and clip on attachtments such as flame-throwers

[B]Recording ingame clips:[/B]
Code:

You can now record your best, worst, or funniest moments with the ingame recorder. Let's you record match's aswell. Should be a good edition to clan play.

[B]Combat Training![/B]
Code:

Want to practice against bots and get a feel for new weapons before you hop into mulitplayer? Probably not. But if you do this is perfect for you. This mode allows you to play against bots with friends to get ready to kick some ass.

Contracts:

Similiar to challenges but with a twist. You buy these with ingame money and within the time limit you do what it says. This allows people to specifically focus on a weapon that they enjoy.

[B]NEW GAMEMODES[/B]
# Wager Match is a new Team Tactical gametype that will allow players to gamble with their money. They will be placed into one of four random modes:

Code:

One in the Chamber - each player is given one bullet and a knife. For each kill achieved the player will receive one more bullet.
Sharpshooter - each player is given a random weapon.
Sticks and Stones - each player receives only a crossbow, ballistic knife, and a Tomahawk.
Gun Game - players start out with a low level weapon. For each kill they move up a level, granting them a better gun. First person to achieve kills with all 20 weapons wins. However, someone who is knifed will move down a level.

[B]KILL STREAKS[/B]
Code:

Spy Plane - 3 (Scans for enemies)
RC-XD - 3 (A remote controlled explosive car, don't worry it's steering is slow so it's very balanced)
Counter-spy plane - 4 (Blocks enemy radar)
SAM turret - 4 (Air drop, placable, shoots down air support)
Care package - 5 (Random killstreak or ammo)
Napalm strike - 5 (Covers chosen area in napalm)
Sentry gun - 6 (Air drop, placeable, detects enemies in it's view and shoots them)
Mortar team - 6 (Target 3 locations to bombard)
Attack chopper - 7 (Support chopper)
Valkyrie rockets - 7 (Launcher with remote controlled rockets)
Blackbird - 8 (Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird attack plane)
Rolling thunder - 8 (Name of an operation in Vietnam, air strike)
Chopper Gunner - 9 (Be the gunner of an attack chopper)
Attack dogs - 11 (Send in Doberman attack dogs)
Gunship - 11 (Not sure probably the Douglas AC-47 Spooky)

[B]Dough:[/B]
Code:

Unlike previous CoD games you do not unlock weapons by level, but by buying them with dough. This allows you to make your own classes and enjoy the game far quicker.

[B]Perks[/B]

Code:

Perk 1:

Lightweight – Move Faster (Pro)

Scavenger – Pick up ammo from fallen enemies. Replenish lethal grenades. (Pro)

Ghost – Undetectable by the Spy Plane and the Blackbird.

Flak Jacket – Reduces explosive damage.

Hardline – Killstreaks require 1 less kill.

Code:

Perk 2:

Hardened – Bullets penetrate better.

Scout – Hold breath longer.

Steady Aim – Increased hip-fire accuracy.

Sleight of Hand – Faster reloads.

Warlord – Equip two attachments to your primary weapon.

Code:

Perk 3:

Marathon – Longer sprint.

Ninja – Silent movement.

Second Chance – Pull out your pistol before dying.(Possibility of being able to be revived.)

Hacker – Ability to detect enemy equipment and explosives.

Tactical Mask – Reduces the effect of flash and concussion grenades.

I'm sure I'm missing stuff but oh well.

PC FAQ posted on forums:

Code:

After Call of Duty: World at War, we set out 3 goals for our next PC title:

* 1] PC gets every single game feature that the consoles get, but in a way that makes sense for PC.
* 2] PC gets even more features – the ones that PC gamers want like dedicated servers and more customization.
* 3] Keep it fun. Protect the integrity of the title through design and post-launch support.

Keep that in mind as you read through the decisions outlined below in our FAQ.

Call of Duty: Black Ops PC Multiplayer FAQ:

Code:

Full feature support: Confirmed
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
Dedicated Servers. New Server Browser. Dev console. /record. Customizable game modes, perks, killstreaks, classes, and higher player counts on unranked servers. Map rotation. RCon. Kick & Ban. MOTD. In-game custom Server Banners. And more.

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.

Minimum System Requirements: Not Confirmed
The game is still in development, and the PC team is hard at work making further optimizations. We will announce the min specs in the near future.

-----

Hopefully that answers the majority of the outstanding questions not answered from our MP Reveal coverage. There are still some questions we do not have answers for at this time, so as always, we appreciate your patience. We will have all questions answered before November 9th.

Current Maps:

Code:

Radiation:
This level is set inside and around a sprawling factory completes with twisty tight corridors and open expanses that are perfect for picking off folk from a distance with an assault rifle. It also working conveyor belt that will send you to a fiery death if you don’t leap off it in time.

Launch

Summit

Cracked: It’s the obligatory war-torn map that reminds us of several play-areas from Modern Warfare 2. There are disheveled homes and shops to cower in or you can even climb up to a perfect sniper spot and rain down hot lead justice from above.

Hello,

We love Tac Insert. It does a few things for the game strategy. A well organized team of Tac Insert user can roll the competition in Demo. It's grand, really, and how it should be. Counter by organizing your own team of Tac Insert users and roll with Hacker.

It also solves a problem. A lot of you are super convinced you can make a better spawn system than we can. That's cool. So, here you go. Here is Tac Insert. Pick your own spawn point and stop yelling at me.

Trying to use Tac Insert but are getting Tac Insert spawned camped? Well, you probably deserve that but you can now cancel your own Tac Insert in the Killcam. That's new to Black Ops.

The main reason I am not as worried about Tac Insert as you? We can disable it. And, I just did for Free-For-All (hardcore and core) variants. It will still work in Private Matches in Free for All, but then you don't get XP in Private Matches so it can't be used for boosting.

The game has a reporting system. Report boosters and let's make examples of them. Once you lay the ban hammer on enough bad people word will get around that we don't take too kindly to this sort of thing.

David 'Vahn' Vonderhaar
Some new info:

Code:

So supposedly:

-You unlock sets of items at certain levels while ranking up.
Ex: All perks are unlocked at level 4 and all killstreaks at level 10

-You earn cod points in three ways
1) Playing normally (you earn the least amount)
2) Wager matches
3) Contracts (these earn you both xp and cod points if you complete them in time)

-The lack of gore is supposedly due to limitations in memory of the consoles due to all the new stuff like custom emblems, reticules, and all the customizable stuff in game. Now that I actually own a pc that can run modern games I can say "Damnit consoles"

-Playlists (subject to change)
Core:

* Team Deathmatch (TDM)
* Mercenary (MERC)
* Free-for-All (FFA)
* Domination (DOM)
* Ground War (GW)
* Demolition (DEMO)
* Sabotage (SAB)
* Headquarters (HQ)
* Capture the Flag (CTF)
* Search and Destroy (SnD)
* Team Tactical (TEAM TAC)

Barebones:

* Pure (No perks, killstreaks, attachments, equipment, or contracts)
* Classic (Killstreaks at 3, 5, 7 kills)
* Team Tac (Pure version with mixed bag of objective modes)

Hardcore:

* Team Deathmatch
* Search and Destroy
* Headquarters
* Free-for-All

And of course the wager matches.

Zombies are confirmed.
