Campaign/General Info * Josh Olin said that Treyarch has taken no cues whatsoever from Infinity Wards Modern Warfare 2 in terms of the games story. It is described as completely original.
* When asked about the games story, Josh Olin stated:
Were not there to tell history and were not there to make any political stances, its strictly there to be an entertaining game. So when you play through the story youre going to get, its pretty awesome, its a rollercoaster ride for sure.
* When asked about how Treyarch, Infinity Ward, and now Sledgehammer Games work in tandem, Olin stated that they have no relation whatsoever with each other, and that each company develops their games without input or influence from the other two.
*Two new weapons were seen in game during press-only gameplay demos. These were the KS-23 Shotgun and the Makarov pistol.
*It has been confirmed by the user pcdev (confirmed to be a Treyarch employee) on the Call of Duty forums that Treyarch plans to open Black Ops on the PC to modding after the games release. It is unknown how extensive the modding ability will be.
* Developer Console has also been confirmed for PC.
Multiplayer * Josh Olin said that the point of the MP Teaser that was released earlier this month was To create more questions than answers.
* Olin also stated that he expects a great deal of surprise from the community when multiplayer is fully revealed on September 1st.
I think theyre going to go, Holy s**t, we didnt see that coming.
* Olin has continued to stress that they have taken great strides to prevent hacking, glitching, and general cheating in Black Ops.
* A large part of their fight against hacking will include the use of server-side hotfixes. These will be deployable almost immediately, foregoing the time it takes for game patches to be released over PSN and XBL.
* Olin has said that the player customization in Black Ops will allow players to create their own identity and play the game the way they want to.
