The all new “Wager Matches” that was just revealed at the Call of Duty: Black Ops event. Show off your skills and put your money where your mouth is!

“Wager Match” will place you in one of four possible modes:

One in the Chamber - Players get one bullet to kill other players.

Sharpshooter - Players are handed a random weapon.

Sticks and Stones – This one uses the ballistic knife, the crossbow, and a Tomahawk

Gun Game - This one everyone will remember from Call of Duty 4 (modded by Lepko). One of the best mods to come out for CoD4 and now incorporated here, you rank up your weapon with every kill you get in a round. Knifing someone de-rates their weapon.

Fantastic news for those in the modding community. Here is the post made by pcdev on the Black Ops forum.

We plan to open the game up for modding sometime post-launch. We do not know yet to what extent you will be able to mod the game. There are some purely technical issues related to engine and internal tool enhancements that do not easily fit the modtools paradigm. We have looked at it close enough to see that it is non-trivial and we will have to pick it up again post-launch. Right now we are completely focused on finishing the game.

And, dev console: confirmed.

Earlier today (8/09/2010), Josh Olin, known to his followers as JD_2020 on Twitter released the first video teaser for the long awaited Treyarch production, Call of Duty Black Ops.

In the video, new perks, rewards, killspree icons, killcam abilities, and weapons are flaunted to fans. Highlights of the video teaser are the deployable camera, which apparently allows the planter the ability to see a live feed of the area they have planted the camera in, a remote controlled Bomb car, which is visibly pleasing and will shake up gameplay for the fun of the fans, and new sniper rifles, machine guns, perks, and effects. One example of such effect is the rocket launching from a pad in the middle of a multiplayer game, showing us a redefinition of the old World at War engine this game was based on.

We as a community, and as a Call of Duty based forum, look forward to the full preview on September 1’st! Thank you, CoDBoards.com.
