Spletna skupnost in spletni video portal G4tv.com je za vse navdušence in podpornike Call of Duty: Black Ops pripravil nov krajši video posnetek, kjer so združeni vsi najbolj navdušujoči posnetki in recenzije prihajajoče edicije Call of Duty franšize. Vse najboljše posnetke so z dodatnimi komentarji lepo združili v ta novi video posnetek, ki je viden v spodnjem video posnetku.
To pa še ni vse. Na bashandslash.com so objavili naslednjo izjavo in komentar od razvijalcev Call of Duty Black Ops. V Call of Duty: Black Ops uradnem forumu se je pojavila objava, objavljena iz strani glavnega razvijalca za PC platforme Cesar aka "pcdev" Stastny, kjer vse navdušence nad multiplayer načinom igranja in nad standardno tipkovnico&miško kombinacijo (beri PC platforma), pomirjajo da bo v njihovi novi igri Cod:BO snemanje oziroma tako imenovano Demo recording omogočeno. Kar je nedvomno izjemna novica, sploh pa za tiste, ki si želijo malenkost bolj profesionalnega igranja.
Na vprašanje nekega uporabnika skupnosti o "demo recording" je zgoraj omenjeni "pcdev" odgovorim "demo recording: confirmed". Super! Spodaj si lahko še celotno izvirno objavo preberete v angleščini.

This has great ramifications for PC competitive gamers who typically use demo-recording (the "/record" feature in previous CoD's) to prove the fact that they played on the 'up-and-up' during sanctioned online and LAN games. The lack of "/record" was another nail in MW2's competitive-play coffin and in BFBC2, the lack of a similar feature, has seriously hamstrung that game into ever becoming a serious competitive shooter.
Undoubtedly, pcdev's short comment will set off a flurry of speculation in regards the presence of the console in the game. The console, for those who may not know, was a mode that could be invoked within previous PC-version CoD games (with the exception of MW2) by hitting the tilde key. Once in console, direct commands could be entered to modify or set client parameters, not limited to those that could be changed through the menu system. This was a powerful tool, in that unique client-side configurations could be made or changed in game. And if the scripts were bound to keys, the changes could be nearly instantaneous, thus making the knowledge of these console commands quite important.
Presence of a console could mean that CoD:BO would not be that far different from the CoD:WW user-interface. This would be a welcome relief for most hardcore PC gamers who are giving CoD one last chance after the debacle that was MW2.
First dedicated servers, now the hint that the console might exist. Good news.
However, I would like to caution that unless we get absolute confirmation of a console, any conclusion-jumping is somewhat premature. Note that I have not been able to get that confirmation from Treyarch, so for all I know, the record function could even be hardwired without the need of a console. We just do not know at the moment.
Fingers crossed.
Thanks to Beaknuke, here are additional pcdev'isms:
cod:black ops will allow US and EU to play MP together.

Scroll wheel - yes.
Prone - yes.

Shiny new server browser: confirmed.

The good news is that the pc version of cod:black ops will allow you to play either way so bring on the kb+mouse vs controller matches!
-pcdev-
cod:black ops will run on XP, Vista, and Win7.

We decided to have dedicated servers for this title from the very beginning of the project. We have not wavered from this for a moment. CoD Black Ops PC has dedicated servers. Definitely.

From this comment as well as the others mentioned it looks like Treyarch is sticking to the features given in World at War. The record feature along with a few others were bugged or not added on release for that title, causing a huge decline in competitive gaming with it. Lets hope Black Ops has it working on release."
