1) Push up handstands
I guess this part needs no explanation. First Hank does them, then it's my turn.
2) Interview with Keirsey
As you might know, Keirsey is the military advisor for Call of Duty: Black Ops. That's why he doesn't talk about the content of the game. We just got into a military discussion about tactics, his army experiences, the stryker armored vehicle and the elite forces of the MACV-SOG.
3) Live-Gameplay & Round-Table with Josh Olin
First, we were introduced to two (complete) levels, both of them were played live on Xbox 360. The first level is called "Victor Charlie" (VC = Vietcong). First, it's about not getting ass-slapped. Then you have to infiltrate a small village (the sneaky way). It seems like the knife might become an own slot, in this gameplay the char carried a Car-15 Commando, a version of the WA-2000 sniper-rifle and a combat knife. The knife wasn't used by a melee-attack, well known from CoD4 and 6. I was surprised how the Vietcong interacted. You will also be able to carry a multiple rocket-launcher, called grim reaper, which is similar to the M202A1, as you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkFU7o3IAaM
The second level is well known as the mission "Payback". Because everyone saw the half of it, I don't want to spoil you too much, the other half of it is amazing too, Prepare for a safe LZ (= mil. Landing Zone).
After that, 4 jorunalists took place in a special room (pictures on the link above) on a round-table with Josh. We talked about the historic background of the game, the motivation of the whole team and the freshness of this cold era franchise. There were absolutely no information on the multiplayer part, which is clear, because we should get stunned by a new trailer coming on sept. 1. There will be a lot of features, that made the way out of the community to the developing-department. I'm really looking forward to his trailer. I was also wondering about Limited Editions for PC, but things aren't clear enough to tell you guys something about that. So we'll have to wait.
Olin likes Uncharted and Killzone, but he hasn't got the time to be a crack at more than one game, because the release of Black Ops is near. Besides, we talked about dedicated servers, modding-tools and the console. We don't know if there will be a mix of deds and a matchmaking like in Modern Warfare 2, but the best thing is, that we will be able to use the console and perhaps may work around with modding-tools.
4) Open Singleplayer-Preview
This preview was no press-only material, so for today and the rest of the Gamescom, everyone without press-accreditation is able to see it. We were introduced to the mission "WMD" (watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMjNz0YpYQE). The gameplay was amazing and we saw two new weapons, the KS-23 shotgun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KS-23) and the russian makarov pistol. We also got to see this mission from the beginning to the end. But I really don't want to spoil you on this part!
