getting it on my ps3 and PC... ps3 so i can play all my friends. PC so i can play it on my laptop when i go on my trip.

I've contemplated getting it on two different platforms (that is, 360 and PC), but I just can't justify it. I have BC2 and TF2 on the PC for when I need my FPS fix. I will probably just stick to the 360 version when it comes out.

when i'm going to be away from my PS3 for a long time I need my FPS fix somehow, i guess left 4 dead could do but i'm guaranteed to go through CoD withdrawls. I'm not even sure how the game will run on my macbook, it does MW with flying colours, haven't tried MW2 though.

And the Big Red One

And....actually just anything apart from 1, 2 and MW to save time.

Little-Known Facts: Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer for PS3

Hello! I?m Josh Olin (aka JD_2020), and thank you for the opportunity to highlight some of the features that Call of Duty: Black Ops will deliver to PS3 fans when it launches on November 9th. A number of these features are ones that I think the community has been wanting for a long time, which is why we?ve worked really hard to deliver. So let?s get started!

Call of Duty: Black Ops for PS3

Multiplayer Online Split-Screen Support

Let?s get started with what I believe is the most unknown, yet confirmed, aspect to Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer ? the online split-screen support we?ve re-introduced to the franchise!

The Facts:

* You can connect a second controller and bring a guest online (i.e. ?JD_2020? & ?JD_2020(1)?).

* Guests can rank up, earn unlocks, etc ? all guest progress goes away once signed out.

* You can bring a second, full PSN account online!

* Both players with full PSN ID?s can rank up while playing together in split-screen, as if on two separate consoles.

Custom Games Editor

Allow me to introduce the Black Ops Custom Games Editor! Private matches have never been this customizable. Players will have the ability to structure their games at all new levels of granularity. From variables as simple as Time Limit and Score Limit, or as deep as which weapons, Perks, and gear are available. You want a Pistols Only match? Make one! No longer do custom game modes rely on the ?honor system.?

Furthermore, any Custom Game you create and configure can be placed in your File Share, for friends and the community to browse, download, and enjoy. You just might create the most addictive new game mode of all time from the comfort of your own living room!

In-Game Friends List

We?ve integrated a built-in Friends List into the in game user interface. You?ll be able to browse Recent Players, Friends, navigate their File Shares, Recent Games, Combat Records ? all within this in-game menu system designed to streamline the social process within the game. Sending game invites and joining Friends? games has never been simpler than in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Regional Matchmaking & Party Privacy

Call of Duty: Black Ops will support regional matchmaking filters on a global scale. So, no matter where you?re at in the world, you will have the ability to specify whether you want to match with players from other geographical regions, or only those local to you. This will make communication and lag a much less intrusive variable on your gameplay experience.

Additionally, given Black Ops will support joining games in progress via an even simpler built-in in-game Friends List interface, we?ll allow a Party leader to lock down his lobby to Invite Only, Friends Only, or even Close it altogether if he wants to be in complete control over who enters and exits the Party Lobby.

Call of Duty: Black Ops for PS3

Emblems Do NOT Reset with Prestige

This one is pretty cut-and-dried. A frequently asked question is, ?Will my kickass emblem I spent hours perfecting be lost when I prestige?? The answer is ?NO!? Emblems are one of the only aspects of Black Ops MP that do not get a full reset upon entering Prestige. Things that will reset when you Prestige are: XP, COD Points, Challenge progressions, Loadouts, and so forth.

So that?s just a few of the lesser-known components to Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer, confirmed for the first time here on the official PlayStation.Blog! For more information regarding Black Ops, and all the new features included in multiplayer, head over to our official YouTube channel and watch all the different trailers we have highlighted from the game. Additionally, you can follow me on Twitter (@JD_2020) for more news and updates.

I hope that these are for the X360 too and not just PS exclusive. I really want to hop on with a friend or my bro with both of our gamertags and play, like in Halo. :D

WAW was by far the best out of the COD lineup. Excellant online gameplay, until the modders took over :crazy: Now you're lucky to enter a lobby (especially in zombies) without some prick with his gamertag rainbowing.

I also thought WaW was great, and was definitely one of the best COD games to date.

I thoroughly enjoyed the single player campaign and the multiplayer added a lasting value to the game.

I was wondering the same thing myself, that it was just a PS3 exclusive, then saw this link in a tweet.

Multiplayer Online Split-Screen Support

Let?s get started with what I believe is the most unknown, yet confirmed, aspect to Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer -- the online split-screen support we?ve re-introduced to the franchise! This applies to both the Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3

The Facts:

You can connect a 2nd controller and bring a Guest online (i.e. "JD_2020" & "JD_2020(1)").

Guests can rank up, earn unlocks, etc -- all Guest progress goes away once signed out.

(Xbox 360 only) You can bring a 2nd, Gold Xbox LIVE account online!

(Xbox 360 only) Both players with full online accounts can rank-up while playing split-screen, as if on two separate consoles.

For all you UK peeps out there, you can pre order Black Ops from woolworths.co.uk for ?25 quid.

Go to woolworths.co.uk and add Black Ops to your basket

Go to checkout and create a new account.

When you get to the check out page enter the promtional code 'zz018' to get ?20 off first time buyers and the code 'xv044' to get free p&p.

Only downside is that you have to pay via paypal, otherwise the price goes back up for some reason.

Not sure how long those codes will last though.

Yeah, there was a thread in the Sony console area about this HOWEVER it's unreliable as Woolworths now operates under the same tree as Littlewoods and Very, which don't like people using promotional codes that weren't given to them specifically, so they may wish to take ?20 back from you at any time...so do so at your risk, and be prepared to lose another ?20.

Ouch, I want the zombie maps from hardened edition, as it's about all me and my friends used to play online... but I'm not sure I can really justify an extra ?24 on top of the standard edition just for that :s The other stuff you get is wasted on me

I hope they appear on PSN as DLC just like COD1 remake did

Yeah, seems kind of ridiculous to charge an extra ?25 for what's basically another game mode. Which Valve have provided for free numerous times (Payload, KoTH, Payload Race).

Shame really. Still, Gungame and One in the Chamber look to be great fun! Hopefully you can set up games where they don't require wagers, just so you can play it.

Maybe you can set 0 as your wager so then you can all have fun.

    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By excalpius · Posted

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.

      "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
