This "multiplayer teaser" doesn't reveal much, but here's what we spotted: remote-detonated RC cars; a "ballistic" knife; and, most notably, a video recording and editing feature. Pore over the roughly 90-second video and let us know what you spot. Expect a "full multiplayer reveal" on September 1.
Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer vid reveals recording, editing
143
If you've been waiting for someone – anyone! – to challenge Bungie's heretofore uncontested dominance in online multiplayer features, you'll want to watch this video for Treyarch's Call of Duty: Black Ops. Sure, Modern Warfare 2 wins if you're looking at the numbers, but anyone familiar with Halo 3's excellent Forge and Theater modes knows they should expect more from the top franchise in multiplayer gaming.

I'm interested in the editing part, aas far as I remember, that wasn't possible in Halo 3 was it? You could only record, correct? Come to think of it, is Reach going to be able to edit video?

I know it's cool to hate on mainstream stuff like Halo and CoD, but c'mon guys, this looks incredibly cool. Considering I traded in MW2 a while back, this just found itself a place on my wanted list. Right below Reach and AC: Brotherhood that is.

You can also see @ 1:01 they're harrier strikes in the game.

@Viva La Snake It's an early version of the Famas. You can tell by the bullpup configuration.

I won't be buying this for the zombies... I was one of the 3 people that didn't enjoy the zombie mode in WaW.

I was under the impression that I would continue playing mw2, but after seeing that they FINALLY included video recording, like jesus christ even uncharted 2 had video capabilities for it's multiplayer.

@buzski "even Uncharted 2'? So what you're saying is, "even one of the best games ever" had recoding?

The camera system looks more like EA's SKATE, then it looks like Halo "Theater".
I'm thinking that glowing green thing in the final frames (1:20) is a camera set into the 3D space.

the people who say COD or MW games suck, are the same people who suck at COD or MW games. PERIOD!! the people who complain about people using the perks provided to you by the game are CRY BABIES. it would be different if you didn't have the option to use the same perks i'm kicking your ass with, but you do!! as a former marine i just use one of the usmc mottos...... adapt and overcome.

Whoever came up with the idea that people hate a game only because they suck at it needs a swift kick to the genitals... Seriously, that's not a reason to hate a game!

Seems pretty cool. The player animations still suck, but at least strides are being made in other places. The rocket launching was probably the highlight of that video for me.
And that guy totally dived!

Where are the limbs flying like W@W! WTF? I don't want money coming out of our asses BS this time.
Plus I hope hit detection is tightened unlike MW2's looser than a hooker's twat hit detection.

if they just add back in mods for PC we might be able to make this game decent again.

Its funny how people complain about the Halo Engine when COD series does the same exact thing as Madden each year now.....hmmmmm. I dunno this game just keeps getting as much as an arcade shooter as you can get.....I'll just wait for Brink and Halo Reach to come out.

Treyarch makes gay cod games. If its not IW then Im not playing it.

I'm quite excited now. I don't understand why people are saying that this looks exactly the same as MW2 but with different guns, different textures, etc. because clearly that's just going to happen to any Call of Duty game.
Anyway, I think the crossbow would be in something like the launchers section of class customization, and it would have low ammo.
I like the use of a thermal camera being positioned somewhere so you can see another area, or cover your ass, although I'm not sure if it'll help campers or not... Perhaps if it's a killstreak, campers won't be interested in using it.
Also, I believe the reason Treyarch have included more advanced weapons in Black Ops is because they've said the game is mainly fictitious. It's based on deniable operations, so they were given a bit more freedom with their story-line and IIRC, they've said that these deniable ops "soldiers" (or spies, or whatever) were given prototype weapons to use.

The reason why I hate lightweight is because it also makes you faster than the claymores reaction. That's like adding scrambler pro to it's supernatural list of abilities.
