AskJD Treyarch Community Manager Question Recap Session 2
AskJD Treyarch Community Manager Question Recap Session 2:
@JD_2020 Will PS3 players be able to lock private matches on #CODBlackOps?
@BlankPoint Absolutely.
@JD_2020 Hi! Can you please tell me if the CODBlackOps PC version is gonna to have lean?
@ricardolobo It does, yes.
@JD_2020 Will the Gun Game have the same weapon progression every time, or will it vary in some way? #AskJD
@iam15ninjas Same one every time. The idea is, you master that progression, you will make bank with Gun Game.
#AskJD what are you guys doing with the annoying grenade launchers... Also are the Servers going to be more stable this time around?
@Ryan_Smith1 Noob Tubes will be disabled at the beginning of the round, much like we patched into #CoDWaW.
#AskJD, which mp game modes have party chat available?
@jayhawkoholic All except Search & Destroy presently. That's something we can change post-launch.
#codblackops #askjd @jd_2020 can you change the enemies names in Combat Training
@TacInsertion Yep, you can set the Practice Dummies in Combat Training to use names from your Friends List =D.
@JD_2020 What does the "Lens" option do in Create A Class #AskJD
@ShadowKnight104 You can change your Lens tint color, like your Reticule color.
@JD_2020 What are the benefits of Prestiging? #AskJD
@koedyburkel There are various benefits. Not sure which @DavidVonderhaar would like revealed just yet .
@JD_2020 #AskJD I'm guessing there are different difficulty levels for the AI in Combat Training. How hard is the hardest difficulty?
@heartbraden Pretty difficult. "Veteran".
@JD_2020 #AskJD are there "strict" rules on how we can run our servers? ie no profanity,swearing, tubing?
@thiefsrevenge Absolutely, you will have the ability to set rules and enforce them in your PC Dedicated Servers.
@JD_2020 is there an alternative colour scheme in #CODBlackOps? #AskJD
@Gornoxx Yes. Color Blind friendly nametags are supported in #CODBlackOps.
@JD_2020 can you have different gametypes in a map rotation on a dedicated server for the PC? #askjd
@ripper998 Unranked servers can be configured much more freely. Ranked servers you'll have to use preset Playlist-like configurations.
@JD_2020 does the story mode of #CODBlackOps take place during the Vietnam war or the Cold War? #AskJD
@Luke_Lillard Both. Vietnam was part of the Cold War. But it's not a Vietnam game - it's a fictional story that takes place during Cold War.
@JD_2020 I'm worried that shotguns won't be a viable combat tactic. Will they have reasonable damage? Do you think they're balanced? #AskJD
@Frizkie8 They'll be balanced, rest assured.
@JD_2020 Will the Combat Record track stats on every individual gun or just the player? #AskJD
@HurrrDur Every individual gun . You can even compare your stats in-game against a Friend. It's the deepest Combat Record ever in COD.
@JD_2020 #AskJD Do your CODpoints reset when you prestige?
@lNeverNight Yes they do.
#AskJD how is the reporting system going to work?
@KehJay You select a player, view his Player Card, and click one of the options under the "Report Player" menu (Boosting, Cheating, etc).
@JD_2020 Will you be able to get game currency in all game types or just in Wager Matches? #AskJD
@xboxGOD1312 You primarily get them in standard game matches. You then gamble them in Wager Matches. But you earn them like XP standard.
@JD_2020 #AskJD do u think the rc car is too early to achieve as a three kill streak?
@sku96 I do not.
@JD_2020 If you get a double kill in Gun Game, what happens? Do you just have an extra kill, or do you go up two tiers? #AskJD
@Blashemer You do NOT advance two tiers. To advance to a tier, you MUST get a kill with the previous Tier's weapon.
#AskJD @JD_2020 how many prestiges are there going to be? 10? 20? 100?
@itsmillatyme 15.
#DW_247 ©
@JD_2020 Why does #CODBlackOps look like #MW2 with different skins? was the engine rehashed? #AskJD
@SuckaB Nope. It's a heavily modified / enhanced #CoDWaW engine.
@JD_2020 #askjd how many frames per second are you guys running on the Xbox?
@RaJeKaJe04 720p, 60 frames per second.
#ASKJD Did you basically add stopping power to the guns? Like did you increase the weapon strength to compensate for no stopping power?
@NellZzzCFG No.
@JD_2020 #AskJD Please will you confirm if the 4 zombie maps are from W@W, and will they be available for seperate purchase?
@maddenking1234 The only way to get the #CoDWaW Zombies maps presently is to buy the Hardened or Prestige editions. I can't predict future.
@JD_2020 #AskJD How in-depth will the online statistic tracker be?
@heartbraden I can tell you the in-game Stats Tracking is the deepest in #CODBlackOps it's ever been in Call of Duty.
#AskJD will the Ps3 have the player card feature as well?
@D_Sutt25 Absolutely.
@JD_2020 Will you answer any Zombies-related questions? Or have you been instructed otherwise? #AskJD
@Llamaspajamas Not instructed. It's always been our strategy to be as vague as possible regarding Zombies . That's part of the game!
@JD_2020 #AskJD what happens if people report people that hasnt done anything and what will be the punishments for cheating, boosting,modin?
@sku96 We review all reports before taking action. Theater mode makes that possible.
#AskJD What's Hardened Pro?
@CRotondi NOT Stopping Power (I know that's where you're going with that haha).
@JD_2020 will u be patching glitches regularly #AskJD
@thexxhawkxx Absolutely. We put out over half a dozen patches for #CoDWaW. Rest assured we'll aggressively support #CODBlackOps post-ship.
@JD_2020 Does theater mode also record campaign? #AskJD
@AlineaShawn Negative. It's a Multiplayer feature only.
@JD_2020 Does theater mode also record campaign? #AskJD
@AlineaShawn But Capture Cards are quite affordable these days .
#AskJD will you be able to upload your theatre mode clips to the internet??????
@TommiBwei Yes.
@JD_2020 How in-depth are private match settings? Examples? #AskJD
@tpgaubert Very in-depth... More to be revealed soon .
#AskJD will u guys actually interact with the community throughout the game??
@FiLMaN123 Of course, I'd argue that I did just that with #CoDWaW =P.
@JD_2020 #AskJD will there be a True barebones playlist?
@nkianD Yes. *True* Barebones is in #CODBlackOps.
@JD_2020 #AskJD when you prestige, what is kept? mainly asking bout cp, guns, title, emblems, and stuff like facepaint. #CODBlackOps
@h0ckey10 Emblems.
#AskJD How long does it take for the bomb to blow (in search and destroy)
@BlackOpsDX Same as it's always been.
#AskJD Is it possible to be shot out of the Chopper Gunner?
@xKNKYxKing No, but it can be shot down like any other chopper.
Are bolt action snipers one shot kill due to removal of stopping power ? #askjd
@SideWinder_x Not always. Upper Torso and Head will be, though. You still need to be a good shot with it.
@JD_2020 #AskJD do you earn XP in wager matches?
@d4v1dw1r7h No. You just exchange CP (top 3 positions get paid).
Will I still be able to quickscope? #AskJD
@Herbert_Gun No. Quickscoping is a cheap way to play. We're specifically going to gimp Quickscoping, sorry. Play straight-up!
#AskJD is there still gonna be mellee for akimbo? I don't see how someone can shoot, shank& shoot as fast as someone with only one gun?
@AyyB_Fades Yes you can still melee when dual wielding.
@JD_2020 will theater mode work for zombies? #AskJD
@FrankKemp3 No. But Capture Cards will work, and are much more affordable these days!
@JD_2020 #AskJD scale of 1-10 how's quickscoping going to be
@MHabs3921 0.
@JD_2020 Have you Guys Fixed The Modded lobbys from what we saw from MW2???????????? #AskJD
@Blake_RFC_101 We believe so. Either way, we'll stay on top of that crap and ensure it doesn't impede the masses.
What happens if you are killed (on the ground) in a controllable killstreak like the Chopper Gunner or Gunship? Same as MW2? #AskJD
@ShadowKnight104 You continue to use said Killstreak, and respawn when it's done. After all, you did earn it.
#askjd why is there not as much gore?
@TacInsertion In MP? Because we used the memory saved to make tons more customization options I think were more valuable than flying limbs.
#AskJD Are Ranked PC Servers forced to run MW2-style playlists like Ground War, Hardcore Moshpit, etc? Can you run a 24/7 Sabotage server??
@6FRGaming You can have a 24/7 Sabotage server. There are no playlists, just preset game mode configurations.
#askJD cam you gift CoDPoints to friends if there bad at the game?
@xXKMac11Xx No, you have to earn your COD Points. There will be no boosting / hording of COD Points to one player =P.
#AskJD. What happens when you have a killsreak and you get another, will you be able to still use both of them???????????
@cflasche Yes, Killstreaks stack.
#AskJD In private matches can you controll who can join, because in mw2 it got annoying when people kept joining private matches...
@DCarr76 Yeah you can lock down your Private Matches just like your Party Lobbies.
@JD_2020 Can server use /record ?! #CODBlackOps #AskJD
@DerSizeS A server? No.... A player playing on a server? Yes.
#AskJD Will the kills from killstreak rewards still count toward your teams score on team deathmatch??
@ZombieHunter115 Absolutely, they just won't count towards your next-higher Killstreak.
#AskJD Please tell me you're kidding about quickscoping...
@cdkee Nope. Quickscoping is way more annoying to a way larger group of people than the quickscoping community who loves to do it. #cheap
@JD_2020 #AskJD are the shotguns 1 shot kill close up?
@joname14 I suppose if all your rounds hit the right part of the body... If just one pellet hits one foot, probably not...
@JD_2020 #AskJD is the PS3 version a port of the 360 or was there a specific Playstation team used to take advantage of PS3 horsepower?
@brandonNaustin There is a specific PS3 team that makes that version of the game. It's not a "port" - that's just a myth in the community.
@JD_2020 /record only record demo for current player or all players on server? #CODBlackOps #AskJD
@DerSizeS Just you, as always. But PC also has Theater mode, which will have all those features to watch from any perspective.
#AskJD Will Black Ops cause a mess in all 24 pairs of pants I own? Lmao
@marlow1994 At least 12 of them... Depending on how long your play sessions run .
@JD_2020 #AskJD How exactly did you “counter” quick scoping?
@JD1010RU When you first sight-in, your sights won't be perfectly center. You'll have to take a moment to adjust (like a real sniper).
@JD_2020 #AskJD Can an RC car kill a dog?
@brandonNaustin Yes.
#askJD how long did it take you to create Call Of Duty: Black Ops?
@DjRaphLv 2 year development cycle.
#AskJd are vehicles in multiplayer?
@gromcracker Not like Tanks in #CoDWaW, but yes there are controllable vehicles - i.e. Gunship, RC-XD (they are Killstreaks).
@JD_2020 #AskJD Are the dogs gonna kill in one hit?
@AlexGomez916 Yes, one bite is all it takes.
@JD_2020 The good quickscopers can sniper while using marathon so... you are not stopping us. you know that right? #askJD
@JakeMertz ... Not sure what that has to do with anything =P.
#AskJD @JD_2020 People enjoy Double XP weekends. Are we going to see something like Double COD Points weekends????????
@mattymcgregor14 Perhaps. Only time will tell!
#AskJD is there stooping power in Black Ops?
@SoldierBoy321 No Stopping Power, No Juggernaut, No Deathstreaks in #CODBlackOps.
#AskJD are there any good sniper rifles that can be used to quikscope?!?!!
@joahmassey No sniper rifles will be useful for Quickscoping.
#AskJD Wager Matches-can you choose which game type, or is it a random one out of the 4 types?
@d4v1dw1r7h Depends on which playlist you choose. You will be able to pick a specific type to play if you want to, though.
#AskJD are there any advantages to prestiging?
@DCarr76 Of course . But that's classified.
#CODBlackOps #AskJd @JD_2020 Is Call of duty black op going to have 4 player offline split screen multiplayer..like the previous cod games?
@Rayomond 4-player, Offline split-screen will be supported in #CODBlackOps, as in previous titles.
TL-DR:
- Treyarch is trying to prevent quickscopers as much as possible. They are trying to prevent it by not having the scope center until you are full zoomed in for a second.
- Yes! You will be able to upload Theater Mode footage to the internet. No word on if it is free or an additional fee (like Halo).
- Theater Mode/Record will not work in single player or zombies.
@JD_2020 Will PS3 players be able to lock private matches on #CODBlackOps?

15 Prestige Levels Confirmed for Call of Duty Black Ops
Lead design director, David 'Vahn' Vonderhaar posted the following on COD HQ:
Ironically this wasn't supposed to be any sort of big secret.
However once a lot of people started trying to piece it together from the various videos it started to become fun. The more people that spammed me on Twitter and here, the longer I was going to wait.
However, I decided to spill the beans on Wednesday after reading a post by COD HQ user thePGTipsy where he suggested it was 15, but proceeded to give compelling (and largely accurate) evidence as to why he believed it.
Only 50 levels in the game, folks. If you work the math out (and some of you have) people who like to go to max Prestige will get more rewards along the way because of the extra 5 levels ... but this doesn't necessarily mean it will take you any longer or become any more of a grind than it has been.

Multiplayer Beta Footage Leaked - Watch it while you can
A closed beta was recently implemented by Treyarch for their upcoming video game release: Call of Duty Black Ops. What they didn't plan for was a group of underground xbox modders to break the beta and allow access for all of them to "crash the party" so to speak.
Over the past couple of days a flood of beta footage has leaked onto the internet allowing the public to get a sneak peak at multi-player footage.
The videos will be updated here as they are made available but Activision is very fast about getting videos like this removed so watch them while you can.
