Treyarch spills the beans on Black Ops multiplayer

Over in LA, Treyarch has been revealing what players can expect to find in Call of Duty: Black Ops' multiplayer modes. Read on for details on wager matches, combat training, and gun customisation.

First off, there's a new COD Points currency you'll be earning as you play, and one of the best ways to spend it is to gamble on wager matches. "Wager Matches are these four brand new, free-for-all based game modes that we created for Black Ops. These game modes were designed to be pure kind-of adrenaline junkie fun," design director David Vonderhaar explained. You'll be gambling your COD points on who you think is going to come out in the top three on the final scoreboard.

Elsewhere, there's a brand new combat training mode that should ease new players into the hectic pace of multiplayer. It has bot support and its own progression system, which should mean it's worth playing through even if you know what you're doing already.

You'll also be able to customize guns, by the looks of it, with clan tags you can resize and reposition to make your weapons stand out.

Call of Duty: Black Ops will be hitting the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on November 9, and there are Wii and DS versions on the way too.
