Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops

This game has a cold war look to it

Document from viral site

Over at the CoD wiki I found this "document" from an viral site connected to Black Ops: [1]. It describes the AUG as "very early prototype weapon; not in production". It also mentions the G11

and also the delicious China Lake Launcher -Double Agent M

It would be better if they included more of these prototype weapons. I would love to see weapons like BRG-15, H&K CAWS, Ster ACR, Colt SCAMP,etc. Even better would be a underwater level with the H&K P11! After all the inclusion of such weapons in the game will be better than the monotonous selection of Cold War-rea weapons like M1911,M21,G3,FN FAL,AK-74,etc.--SB2296 09:37, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

I'll shit bricks of joy if the G11 is in there. I've wanted that gun in a Call of Duty game for as far as I remember. M14fanboy

its kinda stupid to put the g11 in the game because it was a prototype in 1980 and the aug in the game. the aug came out in 1977 unless they have a time machine the game is set in 1968.

M202 FLASH

I made a couple of changes in this section including adding of screencaps. I rechanged it back to FLASH because everything is anachronic in this came and it can't be the more rarer XM191. Plus I added a M202 FLASH image, which is actually from Far Cry Instincts Predeator, since I could not find a single good picture of it in the web.--SB2296 15:43, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

There's not anachronism, Treyarch keeps saying that all these weapons are prototypes. I'm not sure what people aren't getting about that. I'm pretty sure every weapon we've seen in American hands so far are a prototype of some sort. I think that the FLASH is the prototype version; why can't it be?

The reference specifically said "M202." We're not going solely by the picture, but by what was actually written by someone who either played it or watched the game be played. And since I doubt the average game journalist is an ordnance expert, he only knew because it was probably labeled "M202" in the game itself. --funkychinaman 23:00, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

You know just as well as I do video games often mislabel their guns either by mistake or just to give the public who don't know much about guns an idea of what that gun is instead of confusing them with specifics. I don't argue that it's going to be labeled M202, but I guarantee you Treyarch is intending it to be the prototype XM191.

XM191 was M202 prototype, just for your information. --85.71.49.215 04:34, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I'm aware of that. But given the shall we say, unique, circumstances of the game, wouldn't it make more sense to go with what the game says, rather than what's historically correct? --funkychinaman 05:10, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes XM191 is a M202 prototype.American send to test during late 1970s in vietnam.And i see a picture of XM191 in vietnam war museum. info from http://world.guns.ru/grenade/gl50-e.htm Tanarmy Here is what it shoots

I know, I was about to make this same post.-protoAuthor 20:25, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

From the article posted above (emphasis mine)

"-Activision eventually convinced West and Zampella to stay with them by offering up a Memorandum of Understanding. In addition to extending their contracts through to October 2011, this legally-binding document gave West and Zampella some major financial bonuses as well as a couple other hefty promises. Chiefly, it gave the two "creative authority over the development of any games under the Modern Warfare brand (or any Call of Duty game set in the post-Vietnam era, the near future, or the distant future) including complete control over the Infinity Ward studio." In other words, Activision could not publish a Modern Warfare-branded game (or a Call of Duty game set any time later than Vietnam) without West and Zampella's full approval."

West and Zampella were the two heads at IW who were fired in April. Now that they're no longer with the company, this might open the door for Treyarch's next CoD game to be Modern Warfare-esque, but there's a lot of litigation right now. The firing was way too late to affect BO, so they operated under the restrictions above. --funkychinaman 20:50, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Why did someone add possible weapons?

Someone added possible weapon prototypes like the G11 and the Pump 40mm? I am removing them tomarrow if no one says anything about why they should be left on. --FIVETWOSEVEN 02:22, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

This document (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100601175649/callofduty/images/3/3d/Doc10.jpg) from the Black Ops viral site could be the reason --HashiriyaR32 03:34, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

There aren't possible anymore, it has been confirmed that they will be in the game, with other sites like Call of Duty wikia including them in their weapons list.

--SB2296 04:28, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, and the Call of Duty wiki is a beacon of truth... Spartan198 13:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

The AUG and M202 have see in game trailer.Tanarmy

Still a little chance

Well, they are gonna include dedicated servers. So they apparently release modtools - So it seems like its gonna be possible change guns models, just like in CoD4. --88.208.103.46 09:09, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

no

M16 on magazine cover

It should be removed for now, seeing as there's currently no evidence to support its inclusion in the game. IMFDB chronicles weapons appearing in movies, television, and video games, not on magazine covers. Spartan198 14:12, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Game mags are a great source of weapons, thats where half the screenshots we see come from, game informer and the such.

Screenshots are one thing, but there's no evidence that the image is actually from the game, it might just be an illustration the magazine drew up. I would heap the image of the guy sitting cross-legged with the two .45s in there as well. It wouldn't be the first time that weapons on cover art doesn't actually appear in the game itself. (Medal of Honor: European Assault comes to mind.) --funkychinaman 15:01, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Is it bothering you that much?

The game sure went into a lot of detail on the 1911 not to use it, and besides, what else would they have, they cant screw up history enough to throw in deegs and berettas.......oh wait, never mind, they can....

vietcong with a spas 12, damn at this rate my dream of marching into the reichstag waist firing an aa12 may come true
