Hands-on Overload
It was 7 days ago that select community members visited Treyarch studios to preview Black Ops. 7 days later and we finally get their impressions of the game.
After a weeks wait, the embargo has finally been lifted! The select community members have posted their impressions on the game as well as the press who also previewed the game in the past week.
Rather than posting extracts of each article, we will let you visit the URL's yourself so that you can sink your teeth into the wonderful world of Black Ops!
Although these impressions and interviews are mostly based on opinions and do not feature a lot of new information, it's certainly interesting to hear the communities opinion on what they saw. We've gathered that the game is purely full of epic win and will be action-packed. The two missions that were shown are called "WMD" and "Slaughterhouse".
Although Single Player was only shown, multiplayer was touched on slightly. It appears that a Barebones playlist is being developed, create a class has new features, multiplayer has been in development from day 1, matchmaking has been improved and plenty of World at War lobby features will return, this includes the "leave with party" option. Host migration will also be in the game and apparently Treyarch have a "security team" who will deal with those pesky cheaters and hackers.
It's clear to us that Treyarch is extremely dedicated to Single Player, Co-op, Multiplayer and the overall game. A lot more people are working on the game than previously before and everything has been improved, from sounds to enemy AI. It's also astonishing to hear that Treyarch will use the same motion technology that was used in Avatar, this leads them to create better character performances of which are captured by 200 cameras.
Now enough of the talk, it's time to read the articles in full!
