Speculated Black Ops Weapons List
Based on some very intricate and detailed viewing and analysis of the trailer that Treyarch has posted for the game, we have compiled a speculated list of weapons that may see light in the latest Call of Duty game, Black Ops. Keep in mind this is all speculation, but it has some very extensive analysis and research behind it, so this isn’t just some list put together by a 7 year old who thinks x3 frags is awesome.

Red Dead Redemption Information
Game comes out on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC on May 18th, 2010…
The title speaks volumes for Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption. They claim in the article that the lobby is basically a “wild west MMORPG”. The lobby is a fully playable version of the entire game that’s populated by CPU characters and live gamers!
A few of the multiplayer highlights from the magazine were:
- Create a “posse” and roam freely about the map
- Engage in hunting wild animals, to hunting other gamers
- Ad hoc missions (like besieging a desert ranch filled with bandits)
- Gain experience points which can be used to customize appearance and upgrade horse, weapons and “title”
- Unlock new multiplayer modes like the standard 16-player deathmatch and team based “capture the bag”

The End of NCAA Basketball for EA Sports?
If you want to experience March Madness this year, you’re going to have to be satisfied with watching it on television. There won’t be a new NCAA Basketball this fall, and there probably won’t be one next year either. This fall the closest thing we’re going to have to college hoops is NBA Live and NBA 2K.
NCAA Basketball games have been on the wane for a little while now, thanks in part to 2K Games putting an end to College Hoops in 2008. EA has tried to fill the gap over the past couple years, but I’ve heard anecdotal evidence that sales have been plummeting. No surprise then that NCAA College Basketball would be one of the first franchises to get the axe as soon as the going got tough for EA’s bottom line.
NCAA Basketball isn’t exactly Madden; it can’t survive on name recognition alone.
MW2 Callsign & Emblem Details
Callsigns are a new feature, introduced in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. They are similar in nature to nametags, and are used to help distinguish individual players, who can customize their Callsign according to their unique personal tastes and preferences. A Callsign features several elements: the name of the player, a title, an emblem, their level, their rank, and their clan tag. The Callsign of a relevant player can appear on the user interface several times at particular events during multiplayer gameplay: whenever a player kills or is killed by another player, when a player completes or affects an objective in a match, when a player is being spectated (including killcams), or other significant events such as calling in major killstreak rewards or executing multikills.
Players can choose from at least 594 possible Titles–a word or phrase accompanied by a relevant background image–to use with their Callsign. In addition to Titles, players can also choose from 294 Emblems–small icons that appear to the right of a player’s Title in a Callsign. While some are unlocked initially, most Titles and Emblems must be unlocked by completing various challenges in-game.
Cheapest Weapon/Perk Combos on MW2
Play on Xbox Live long enough and its inevitable that you are gonna run into all types of players. But some of the most common and cheapest ways of racking up kills on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 comes from specific kit setups that have an unfair advantage built in from the start. Here are our top 3 Cheapest Weapon and Perk Combos in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
#3 The Noob Tube /Thumper/ Danger Close – If you haven’t been involved in a match where an opposing player is using this perk/weapon combo you haven’t truly experienced the rage and hatred that can be expressed over Xbox Live. With this set up you are a walking explosion waiting to happen, and with the extra damage from danger close it just adds to frustration that you can dole out to your opponents.
#2 Any weapon combination that involves the 1887 shotguns in akimbo. Completely unbalanced and some would argue are broken. These small shotguns have a range that is unrealistic and have been used exclusively by n00bs and ringers alike. IT’s not uncommon to find yourself perched at the top of the leaderboard when using these things if you can take the verbal abuse that will be thrown your way. If minimal aiming and ridiculus range are something you are interested in Dual wield the 1887 as your secondary weapon for a good time.
#1 Any Weapon/One Man Army – I have seen alot as of late the One Man Army being used to generate unlimited claymores. By using this perk which resupplies weapons and ammunitions you can really be a cheap bastard by using your endless supply of claymores to subdue your would be attackers. To use this perk just apply the perk to whatever weapons kit that you choose make sure you have claymores selected as your equipment and then when you press y to switch weapons you will be prompted to switch to a different kit. Select the same kit you started with and viola unlimited claymores and ammunitions. This could be used in combination with any number of primary weapons, and if you set up every kit for claymores and one man army you can just keep reloading with whatever weapon you choose.
