132w ago - Recently some COD Black Ops videos surfaced showing off a 15th Prestige XP and Infinite Care Package hack, and as a result Treyarch COD: Black Ops designer David 'Vahn' Vonderhaar has issued a statement warning PS3 glitchers.

To quote: "This is going to be my one and only statement on this topic, so pay attention.

I got Twitbombed today from dozens of people the same 2 links. Some are people using old dashboards or old versions of the game. Others are claiming victory on old dev builds that don't even connect to the version of Xbox Live that you use. Others are reproducible issues that we will hotfix or patch just like we said we would. In essence, we likely know more about it than you do from watching a video on Vimeo or YouTube.

What many of these people want is to be Internet nerd famous. I'm not going to make them famous and you shouldn't either. Internet hysteria from normal people is exactly what they want and that's how many people reacted today. You gave them exactly what they want.

Given the opportunity, I'd personally wield the ban hammer for anyone...

132w ago - Below is a guide I wrote on PSX-Scene (linked above) and here on PS3News how to get Call of Duty: Black Ops working with PS3 JailBreak on PlayStation 3 Firmware 3.41.

Today a copy of Black Ops arrived "in the usual places" and it required 3.50 to play.

JonahUK pointed out that when the EBOOT.BIN was viewed with a hex editor it showed it was compiled with the 3.40 SDK meaning it was debug update time!!!

I extracted the EBOOT.BIN file and PRAM.SFO from the 1.02 debug update modified them and made a pack here: CODBO.rar / Mirror #1 / Mirror #2 / Mirror #3 / Mirror #4 / Mirror #5 / Mirror #6 / Mirror #7 / New Pack With All SFO Regions / New Pack With All SFO Regions #2 / New...

133w ago - Treyarch Community Manager Josh Olin has revealed some little-known facts today on Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer for the PS3 entertainment system.

To quote: Thank you for the opportunity to highlight some of the features that Call of Duty: Black Ops will deliver to PS3 fans when it launches on November 9th.

A number of these features are ones that I think the community has been wanting for a long time, which is why we've worked really hard to deliver. So let's get started!

Multiplayer Online Split-Screen Support

Let's get started with what I believe is the most unknown, yet confirmed, aspect to Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer - the online split-screen support we've re-introduced to the franchise!

The Facts:

• You can connect a second controller and bring a guest online (i.e. "JD_2020" & "JD_2020(1)").
• Guests can rank up, earn unlocks, etc - all guest progress goes away once signed out.

Custom Games Editor

Allow me to introduce the Black Ops Custom Games Editor! Private matches have never been this customizable. Players will have the ability to structure their games at all new levels of granularity. From variables as simple...

136w ago - Today Kotaku (linked above) has made available the new Call of Duty: Black Ops Single-Player Story video trailer below.

The video's caption reads as follows, to quote: "Be prepared to accept the consequences of putting your life on the line to prevent war in the Black Ops' single-player campaign."

This latest Call of Duty: Black Ops trailer gives us a much better sense of what we can expect from the upcoming shooter, both the story and gameplay.

Treyarch and Activision's debut of the trailer on ESPN tonight couldn't have been timed better with Medal of Honor due to hit store shelves tomorrow morning.

Finally, Call of Duty: Black Ops is scheduled for release on November 9, 2010 for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

137w ago - A few weeks back we reported on a Bad Company 2 Edition Custom PS3 Slim by jriquelmeyt, and today he posted another creation via MandiocaGamer (linked above) which he named the Call of Duty: Black Ops Edition PlayStation 3 Slim mod.

To quote: "I'm Javier Riquelme, jriquelme, from Asuncion-Paraguay, and this is my new Mod.

Here, a crappy video, and some photos from the process. Enjoy!... I hope you like it."
