black ops is now available in Best Buy for a $5 preorder. Is there going to be some kind of beta that the preorder gives you access to?

I found a teaser. So far it appears treyarch is considering betas for PC. Looks like there will be betas for PS3 and Xbox and they are considering betas for PC's.

So maybe they will have a beta for PC but it maybe released later.

I did find this teaser on Treyarch's site.

It would be nice if Black Ops doesn't suck like MW2.

Trearch had a rough release with WAW but they eventually developed a decent game.

I'm going to wait till the reviews are out for them before I buy them.

With all the stuff going on and legal battles. I'm going to be a cautious on what I buy.

Another trailer... doesn't look that much different than the rest of the series.

I'll wind up purchasing it in any event

Let us know how it is.

I think that BlackOps is going to be like MW2 in that it's definitely more console oriented. However, I think Treyarch will actually listen to feedback and balance the game much better than IW did. WaW's current version is loads better than the release, but MW2 is still... terrible, to put it nicely. One thing that has to happen if I'm going to buy it is, drumrolllll, dedicated servers. Without them, I won't even bother.

At the end of that trailer though, looks like there's a recording feature...

I agree with you phantom. The peer to peer thing was an epic fail.
