Call of Duty: Black Ops - First Strike Multiplayer Preview

Post by MatchFixah @ 12:07pm 18/01/11 | 31 Comments

The first trailer for the first DLC for Black Ops has landed this morning. The details:

First Strike contains 5 incredibly diverse maps spanning the globe; featuring 4 multiplayer maps and a new Zombie experience. Includes "Berlin Wall", allowing combat on both sides of the imposing wall; "Discovery", a desolate, frozen German outpost in the Arctic; "Kowloon", battle in the rain along the rooftops of a towering Chinese sprawl; "Stadium", an intense locale with a pro hockey arena backdrop; and "Ascension", where you fight zombies in a Soviet launch facility.

Available first on Xbox 360 February 1st. More details to come for PS3 and PC.

You can watch below (HD version right here; or you can also download it):

Maps look great and even for 1200 MS points and I know I'm going to be sucked into buying this when it comes out. promoted/edited forum item

I haven't really played enough of Black Ops (10hrs!? That means I played it less than MW2!) to justify buying this........ but I probably will :(

Hmmm, we shall see whether I get this or Vietnam for BFBC2

edit-

Discovery looks awesome. Destroying that chasm bridge is a must.

Also, ziplines. God damn.

At first I was all like "BL/OPS is pro it's way better" but stopped playing it at lvl41, tho MW2 was a broken game damn it had lots of lols and was actually fun, BL/OPS is just too serious for me. Stopped playing them both, if I wanted a CoD fix I would load up MW2 now, I really enjoyed the map packs for MW2.

Yeap ziplines are going to add a new dynamic to the game.

Also I like snow levels because:

Galil + Silencer attachment + Yukon Camouflage
Ghost pro, Slight of Hand pro, Ninja Pro
Motion Senser

= the silent snow pwnage.

They should give this to PC users for free to apologise for how f***ed the game was on release... but they wont.

like 13 days ago now pcdev (twitter) said that they had started testing a PC patch and it still isn't out. The game hasn't run properly on my computer since release and im still waiting to be able to get my monies worth.

yeah qmass, another reason i haven't bothered reloading it - hoping that down the road maybe when i do decide to play it again it'll be a more worthy game of playing

$20 bucks...not a lot of money but dont think ill contribue to this one unless i have to due to majority of people buying it and servers going that way.

maps looks decent all the same. i dont like how they kept talking about sniper opportunities... booooo

Sorry guys but i'm not being sucked in to another rip-off, not to mention this time round the game actually isn't entertaining.
Funny, right? I clocked like 140+ hours in MW2 and haven't broke 50 in Black Ops. This is weird because I play them on PC, haha.
But it just doesn't make sense, multiplayer-wise this game is just so extensive, yet i can't play it. It bores me somehow!

array is an awesome level i love creeping around with my galil + supressor + camo outfit

waiting to get the 5 extra profiles so i can setup profiles for snow and normal, no point putting green camo on my gun if it's a snow map

i also love running around with an ak74u + full auto upgrade + sleight of hand + lightweight outfit + marathon rushing c**** straight up spewing bullets

matchy why do you bother with sleight of hand if you're creeping around in full stealth mode, could be used better elsewhere imo

I don't rate any other perk in that group. Plus slight of hand pro allows you to aim down the sight quicker which is handy for face to face encounters whether you're in stealth or not.

i <3 warlord

supressor + reflex sight for my stealth profile

Posted 12:35am 02/2/11

Oh yeah Warlord pro can be handy once you get it as it gives you extra nades but I still i find myself preferring to use the standard sights, especially with my most used guns like the AK74u, AK47, Galil, AUG. I don't think reflex/iron sights improve my aim personally so it feels like a waste equipping them. Plus for some guns you can't combine certain attachments like with a nade launcher.

At the end of the day the perks are fairly balanced and it all comes down to your playing style.

you're a noob if you're using the nade launcher :p

man i love sprinting around a map like a mad man with an ak74u full auto mode just rushing straight at c**** jumping around spewing bullets

probably harder to do on console

So far Berlin is the the only new map the stands out for me, the detail and feel of the level is quite well done. Stadium seems out of place compared to existing maps. Kowloon is a nice addition, the snow one is pretty much sniper heaven.

Or is everyone playing on console here? (pls say no!)

only way to do that would be to get ausgamers to acquire a server from internode afaik
