Call of Duty: Black Ops Thread
Unlike Infinity Ward's Mordern Warfail 2, Treyach's Black Ops will have dedicated servers and quite possibly modding tools and especially, a dev console. Also BOT AI for training grounds before taking a trip in Multiplayer action.

WEAPON BALANCE
Infinity Ward has always been better than Treyach for creating a fairly decent balance in the multiplayer. A shinning example of this would be this video

Before we all agree the game isn't done yet, taking a look back at Treyach's W@W, the MP40 would have pretty much the same coding that weapon in the video has (knowing Treyach and their passion for WW2 weapons, Thompson again I presume). A SMG that kills in a mere 2-3 shots max, very decent hip accuracy and whatnot. You know when you see that video a lot of people will run with these until they fix it. If they do.
It's just something to keep in mind.
SERVER ADMINS
Server admins have the right to kick whoever they want to. They pay or run their own server(s) and have their own rules. With Modern Warfare 2, I personally am to a point where I can barely handle a game without being called a hacker. Yet there's at least 2 players who are better than me posting on the forums here.
My point is, I have played both MW1 and MW2 on the PC and it simply does not compare. Players would evaluate your kills before accusing you of cheating. You'll find yourself accused of cheating in MW2 for killing someone who's sitting in the corner waiting for you to UAV spot him and shot trough the wall his ass is up against. And even less, for actually using a headset and be attentive.
Modern Warfail 2 created it's own type of ego-player where if someone's nemesis is doing better than that person, well, he's clearly hacking. Bullet penetration is a feature in the game and people get called a hacker for using it. The list goes on and on. They can't be blamed though, the amount of actual wallers (hackers using see-trough mods that reveals the position of every enemy players) in MW2 is absurd and completely blamable on those idiots at IW who thought VAC and P2P was the deal for the game.
Imagine if most of those players migrate to BO1, and have their own servers. Anyone who's merely suspicious (I know I apparently am) will get banned from a server because of some self-confident admin thought that person was a hacker and/or he'll go the "Hey I pay for this ****, I don't want someone to have THAT much of a decent score on MY server" way and then immediately proceed on perma-ban that said person.
Fair enough, I expect to see a lot of admins ban skilled players. Hopefully most of the future BO server admins are competent.
