Black Ops Features You Might Not Know About

[shane]

 

Here’s a bunch of new features in Call of Duty: Black Ops that many players will not have heard about. They range from things about equipment to perks and all make me personally look forward to Black Ops even more. So lets kick off this list of features!

 

Re-Use Equipment

 

Like in Modern Warfare 2 players will only get one claymore to use but in Black Ops players will have the ability to pick up their own claymores. This will work in the same way that players can pick up camera spikes, motion detectors and jammers. It is currently unknown whether players will also be able to pick up C4 but as it seems most of the equipment can be it would be a safe bet too.

 

Mistakes Were Made

 

Rather than just saying that a player has committed suicide Black Ops has the rather different approach and say Mistakes Were Made next to the player in the killfeed. Ways to get this range from the normal falling to running through a mine field on the multiplayer map Jungle.

 

Zooming Scopes

 

Black Ops hosts a scope which players can actually zoom in and it seemed that it was possible to zoom in 4 times, allowing for some rather long range sniper action. The name of the scope is currently unknown but the game is just around the corner so we will find out very soon.

 

Invisible Walls

 

Unfortunately these make their unwanted return in Call of Duty: Black Ops; while it isn’t yet proven how many will be inside the maps, at the edge of all the maps there are a number of entrances for the Attack Dogs. This means a big gap in a fence that looks possible to crawl through has an invisible wall stopping players. While I can see why they have added these I hope they haven’t plastered them all over the maps stopping players getting on the top of buildings when it seems possible.

 

Depth To Maps

 

On most if not all levels there is something going on around the map or even on the map in the case of launch. Like with launch where the rocket goes up other maps also include moving sections from a moving belt over a crusher to a train outside of the map. This is a feature which helps add depth to the maps which hasn’t really been seen as much in Call of Duty as other shooter titles.

 

How To Unlock Pro Perks

 

On Call of Duty: Black Ops regular perks will be bought using the Cod Point system but the Pro version of each will still be only available by completing challenges for that perk and that is also where it differs from Modern Warfare 2. Instead of just one challenge players will now have to complete three separate challenges to unlock the Pro version of a perk. For example to unlock Marathon Pro players will have to run 26 miles using marathon, get 10 first bloods kills and capture 15 flags in Capture The Flag mode. Clearly this is a way of making them slightly more specialised for the players that use them and could possibly make them slightly harder for players to get.

 

Well hopefully you are now even more clued up on Call of Duty Black Ops and it will make you even more pumped for the launch on November 9th.
