There is a good chance every website you visit today is going to milk the hell out of Call of Duty: Black Ops and the multiplayer reveal event last night — we’re not going to do that. Instead of spreading things across 5+ articles, we’re going to give you everything you basically need to know just in this one piece. Not only will this make your experience a better one, but it won’t result in your Twitter being overloaded with the same nonsense over and over throughout the day.
