nov 9th is not far away and some more information regarding the MP of BlackOps have been revealed.

what I have found out so far is that dedicated servers are for sure but unfortunately only from 1 provider and no details as to which access level admins will have. luckily the GSP is gameservers.com where we used to have our old COD4 server.

some details are:

- currently max of 18 slots for public ranked servers, but 24 is part of an ongoing discussion
- as far as it looks but this has not been confirmed yet, admins will have similar control over the servers as with COD4, meaning gametypes, maps and mods can be chosen by the admin
- some nice gametypes were introduced as e.g. Wager Matches which is a FFA mode where you can wager an in-game currency on pistol fights and other fun modes

here are a couple of things that were confirmed:

Dedicated Servers confirmed!

demo recording: confirmed

cod:black ops will allow US and EU to play MP together.
-pcdev-

Scroll wheel - yes.
Prone - yes.
-pcdev-

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.

You will be able to lean, here's a teaser...there's something new about prone in this one.

unfortunately a lot of things were left in the dark as to how will admins connect to the server, which level of access is allowed and a lot more...

nevertheless I have already preordered an 18 slot server for 3 months which will automatically be up and running on default settings when the game becomes publically available. as soon as I have the IP address I will go ahead and let you all know...

so my final conclusion is that this will have a bitter sweet taste... it won't be COD4 but surely also no MW2, time will tell if this can get us all back together but as mods and dedicated servers are included I think we have a good chance of having some matches yet once more...

let me know your thoughts guys...
