The Multiplayer Reveal has hit!

I've compiled EVERY bit of info I could get; I was following the Twitter and watching Justin.tv on my iPhone because I was capped haha.
Official vid will be on callofduty.com in a couple of days.
Confirmed - no Public Beta.
Black Ops website has been completely redone;
Call of Duty: Black Ops - Coming 11.09.10
I've noticed people have beat me to the punch, but they lack info. This thread contains EVERYTHING from the day.
I have redone the thread to make it easy on the eyes
Thanks so much for the support guys, I'll try keep this updated with as much good info as I can. Check out the videos section! Stuff in there noone else has posted yet
Constantly updating with new info as I get it! If I missed anything, leave a comment and I'll add it in
Latest Updates: - Updated info on the Currency System/Contracts, added returning gametypes, added brief description to killstreaks for those unsure of military names. Added G4TV vid. Hacker Pro. Added Camo list.
Fixed up last unclear details - (Thanks Slice)
Replaced Hutch's vids - (Thanks Dreamy)
Added leaked vid feat. the Flamethrower attachment.
Updated Gametypes.
Added Theatre Gameplay vid.

New MultiPlayer Features:
Currency System - players rank up as normal, and earn Currency on how well they play, as well as other factors. As they level up, Features become unlocked (unsure how broad this is), and players can then buy components of these features with CP. This means you can NOT buy any item that is in the game, as soon as you have the money, as it must be unlocked first.
Currency is called CoD Points (CP) and is earned by things like having a good k/d ratio, winning games etc.
Contracting - The contracting system requires the player to sacrifice a small amount of CP (possibly buying the contract), in risk of achieving a huge payout from the contract. The contract essentially sets a challenge and a time limit for the player to achieve in game.
Some contracts pay EXP, some pay in CP, some pay both.

Theater features allow you to shift between 1st-person, 3rd-person and Free Cam. Can be shared with community (unsure how)
ALL gameplay in multi is filmed.

Wager Modes

Sharpshooter
Weekend Gamblers
One In The Chamber
Sticks and Stones
Gun Game
Sharpshooter
High Rollers
Pro Gambler

"Wager" Gametype - Separate from progressive multiplayer. Gamble CP in 4 different FFA-type games.
Top 3 winners take the cash, the rest lose.

Gun Game - Same concept as CSS mod. You start off with a basic gun, (Python), then progress with each kill. Each time you get knifed, you lose a "rank" (drop to the level below in gun ranking).
I saw progression from Python, to Makarov akimbo, to the SPAS, to the Pump-action shotgun, then to MP5K, then to akimbo Scorpions, then to the AK-74u, then to the M1 Garand, then to the M16, then to Commander(?), then to the AUG, then an LMG (not sure which), then to a Bolt-Action Sniper, then to another sniper.
Not sure afterwards, but the game ends with the Ballistic Knife.

Sharpshooter - Everyone starts with the same gun, randomly chosen. Use that same weapon, then weapons get cycled after a period time. Each kill gives you a Perk, then Pro, and a score multiplier.

One in the Chamber - you are given a Makarov with a single bullet. Each kill, you get given an extra bullet, each time you miss, you give the enemy your bullet. Winner takes all. You get 3 lives.

Sticks and Stones - you are given a Crossbow, Ballistic Knife and a Tomahawk (throwing knife), killing with the throwing knife bankrupts the enemy.

Killstreaks:
Top killstreak is 11 (No 15 or 25)
Choose 3 out of the list, like MW2.
11 Streaks to choose from, all listed below.

Confirmed Killstreaks -
3 – Spy Plane (UAV Equivalent)
3 – RC XD (Remote Control Car, Explodes when triggered)
4 – Counter Spy Plane $1600 (Counter UAV Equivalent)
4 – Sam Turret $1600 (Surface-to-Air Missile, takes out Aircraft, except BlackBirds)
5 – Care Package (Same as MW2; throw out smoke marker, crate dropped containing random killstreak)
5 – Napalm Strike (Airstrike of Napalm, which is a highly flammable explosive)
6 – Sentry Gun $3200 (Same as MW2)
6 – Mortar Team (Similar to W@W, except choose 3 spots)
7 – Attack Helicopter (Same as CoD4/MW2)
7 – Valkyrie Rockets (Remote controlled Missile) $4000
8 – BlackBird $4500 (Sexy Black Plane, similar to Harriers. Functions as a UAV, as well as showing which way they face on the map. Can't be shot down)
8 – Rolling Thunder $4500 (Bomber Plane)
9 - Chopper Gunner $5000 (Same as MW2, but slower. You control Gatling Gun)
11 – Attack Dogs $6000 (Same as W@W)
11 - Gunship $6000 (Controllable helicopter, fly and shoot.)

The Death Machine (Gatling Gun), as well as the Grim Reaper (M202 Flash) are rare occurrence in a Care Package, rather than an unlockable weapon. (Thanks Slice)

RC Car Controversy
Enemies can blow it up, balancing it out a bit. It also leaves you vulnerable to enemies especially as it takes time to find enemies. There is no timer. (RC Races! )

[Grim]

You can also repel BO with something called deodorant. There are different brands of deodorant that you can buy such as anti-perspirent which holds back sweat in some areas that create more sweat thus causing smell. The most effective way to get rid of BO though, is to take a shower.

[Stone]

Oh okay thanks I didn't know that.

[sagster mattb]

ive read(not from random posters but clues in what treyarch have posted) that there might be a restricted pub beta. its a 2% chance but they say if in a small amount of time if they feel its necessary they will ease one out for a bit.

[Jbudman]

Stuck.
Thanks for all the info.

Could have sworn the Galil was an LMG in most FPS games before... Hmm


Launchers
M202 F.L.A.S.H. (Four barreled rocket launcher with incediary rockets, FLASH stands for Flame Assault Sholdier Weapon

OMFG Sounds amazing!

Sniper Rifles
Dragunov
The Best one ever!

Tactical Grenades
Willy Pete (Smoke)

Willy Petes are not smoke, they Are White phosphorus Incendiary grenades. Making it a Lethal Granade.

Hacker (SitRep Equivalent), Pro Version allows you to "booby trap" enemy CarePackages, and hack enemy electronical devices and turn them into your team's (Claymore, Sentry Guns, SAM Turrets)

I knew Sit-Rep was always badass!

NO OMA/COMMANDO/DANGER CLOSE OR JUGGERNAUT(!!!!!!!!!)

A shame because I love tubing kids and making them cry... But ohh well!

This will be kind of cool I must admit even though I loath Halo.



Custom Facepaint! - Treyarch have gone so far into customisation, you can even customise the facepaint. These facepaints are bought individually.(?)

I would think they will be sold as ... Jungle/Desert/Wetlands/Night/Modern/City/Urban/etc.

Deployables -
Motion Sensor

Splinter Cell.. mmm

Custom "Weapon Porn" -
Clan tags etched into gun.

Very cool.
