official Call of Duty: Black Ops

Indeed, the wave version doesn't mean it'll be safe to play. All the wave partition used to be for was to check that the disc in the console was a 360 disc. If it wasn't you'd get a message to place a 360 game in. That changed in 2008 or so and the host would checksum the game to make sure it was legit. Easy way for MS to find flashed consoles. Then they added the NXE to the video partition so everyone could update their console blah blah blah.

However, the author date of BO was almost 2 weeks before Fable 3. And seeing as Fable 3 is also 1st party, it's more likely MS will push the new protection with their game first. So right now, signs point to BO being playable on Kinect/flashed consoles.

Pressuming the modder was safe with their firmware, backups & the scene hasn't let them down again lol.

Looking likely that it'll leak online tonight.

yep. it's making it's way around the net. i don't have a modded 360 so i won't be downloading it

How many maps is Zombie gonna have? I have been reading 4,3, and even 2 with the hardened edition. I don't know what to think. :/

[Sethos]

Game has now leaked.

As for Zombie maps, I read 4 + the 4 Classics included in Hardened

It's a steamworks game, it won't leak as easily plus, 360 games have leaked earlier for years now.

That just further proves the point he was making in his post.

Didn't care about his point, as it's a subject that can be discussed to the end of time with no facts - Just went for his 'early' comment.

Just hurry up and funking release it already!

[Tech Star]

Arrrrgggg....I am getting sucked into the hype just like last year with MW2. :no:

I loved MW1, but I didn't like WaW because I thought that it was just a blatant copy of MW. So when MW2 came out I was hyped into the game and I thought it was going to be just as good as MW, but that didn't work out. They added a bunch of stupid crap that made me very mad and now seeing as how that its fixed in CoD:BO I got to get it. I didn't want to buy another CoD ever again, but looks like that failed. :( Can't wait for this to release. :D

I'm only seeing one zombie map available right at the start.. Do I have to unlock the others somehow?

I said i wouldn't get excited this time but look where i am again >.< God damn you youtube (I liked MW2 until release day when online got infested by 10 year old noob tubers and chopper gunners. :p)

Had a good chuckle at this.

Currently recording a short walkthrough of each map ( i.e. running around the map, showing it off when I don't even have a clue where to go ) and stumbled over this gem in Nuketown - Double Rainbows!1

Thank god for TV upscaling magic.

The Pentagon map is unlocked after you beat the campaign, not sure about the others.

That's not a 1:1 capture, it's from the compressed output.

[Duality]

I am looking forward to being able to eat my words when this comes out and turns out to be pretty damn good.

I really, honestly hope that Treyarch pull this off.

So I'm done recording all the mini-walkthrough of all the MP maps but it'll take some time to upload. Did a quick video of the various perks, weapons, facepaints and all that if anyone's interested;
