So far the only solid details about Black Ops have concerned the Single Player section of the game, but a 'inside source' has now apparently leaked information about the anticipated Multiplayer.

Lets face it, the majority of us buy Call of Duty for the Multiplayer, right? Therefore, it's only reasonable that many are already calling for some Multiplayer details to be announced. A member on the official Call of Duty: Black Ops forums » has posted a few details on Black Ops' multiplayer after listening to a podcast who had contact with a 'inside source'.


Black Ops Multiplayer Rumors

Painkill Already » were allegedly contacted by someone asking if he wanted a beta code for a new game but it was then found out that he is an insider and they could tell he certainly worked in the industry from the look of his email. Here is a brief summary of the details revealed in the podcast, thanks to SargeIsInCharge »

1. You only get two perks in multliplayer, and this combination of perks determines your third perk.
2. There is a new armour system, e.g. Cold-Blooded and juggernaut are armours you can wear (not much detail given on this).
3. The FAMAS returns, but is no longer a 3-round burst weapon. Instead it is full-auto.
4. There is no M4. Instead another new gun mentioned seems like it will take its place, the SIG Commando.
5. Other new weapons confirmed include the RPK, Skorpion and MAC11.
6. There is no commando perk. (:])
7. The scavenger perk is included, but no longer replenishes equipment.
8. The One man army perk is also not included.
9. The highest killstreak reward (at this time in development) is 15.
10. There is no emergency airdrop, but there is a care package.
11. As confirmed before, killstreaks will not stack. For instance, if you get a 5 kills without dying and receive your killstreak reward, the kills you get with that killstreak reward will not count towards your next killsreak (e.g. 7 kill killsteak). You will have to get two more kills, in that instance, by othe receive your next killstreak.
12. You can sprint to prone in the current build of the game. Basically this means you can dive straight on your belly after sprinting, instead of having to stop, crouch and than go prone.
13. The tactical knife is gone, while a new knife is being introduced: the ballistic knife. This is a knife that has a spring that can shoot a blade (in real life, not necessarily in the game).
14. The claymore is a piece of equipment, and you only get 1 per life.
15. Grenades are not considered equipment, and replenished by scavenger.
16. The M16 is in the game, and still a powerful weapon. (Or as Woody puts it, still the ****!)
17. The PSG1 sniper rifle is in the game.
18. UAV, airstrike and 3 types of helicopters are back as killstreaks. The Pave Low is confirmed as well, and has a feature unique to the game.
19. The SR-71 plane is also one of the killstreak rewards.

Remember that this is not official and do not believe anything unless confirmed by Treyarch or Activision. Is this true? My personal opinion is no. Why? It's so hard nowadays to be a insider and leaking information without the fear of being fired or sued. But then again, the rumours before the game was even announced have so far been true.JD_2020 has recently said to wait for the coming weeks and months for all our multiplayer news.

It's E3 this week and Black Ops will certainly be there so stay tuned as we bring you the latest news when it happens. Will we see the same gameplay footage the press and community members were recently shown? Or will we receive news and possibly a glimpse of multiplayer or co-op? Time will tell!
