Call of Duty Black Ops: Wager Matches and Killstreak List Leak

Being that we Americans are very entitled people who want to win everything (greed is good), Black Ops developer Treyarch has presented a new slew of interesting modes for us to gamble a new in-game currency called CoD points. Along with the original experience system that had FPS gamers hooked on playing CoD, CoD points can be saved up for unlocking weapons that otherwise wouldn't be available to your experience level. You gamble these points in something called Wager Matches and these are the 4 wager matches that have been announced. These games are all free-for-all, and you have to be in the top 3 to be "in the money" and win more CoD points, or you will end up wager. So here are the game modes.

There's one in the chamber, where everyone gets a pistol with one bullet (its an insta-kill) and killing a player gets you his bullet (you just get +1 ammo, you don't have to go get his gun). This mode is designed to make you conserve your bullets, and if you miss that shot, then you're going to have to use your knife.

Then there's Gun Game, which was directly was an interesting game mod in the FPS game called Counter Strike. Every kill nets you a new (and usually better) gun... get all 20 ranks and you win the game.

Then there's some mode where everyone has the heavy duty exploding crossbow, a ballistic knife, and a throwable tomahawk. You gain a point from a ballistic knife or crossbow kill, but you can also steal a person's points by hitting them with the tomahawk.

Finally, the last mode is a game where weapons cycle every 45 seconds, so everybody is duking it out with the same weapon and once the timer ends, you will get a new weapon.

The whole purpose of each of these 4 game modes is to create tension, because you're putting CoD points on the line, and if you have ever went gambling before, than losing is not fun...but you always come back for more. This mode seems very hyper competitive and intimidating (and why shouldn't it be?). I am pretty intrigued by these new modes, but I am still crossing my figures for Nazi Zombies....or communist zombies.

Also, here is a link to the latest CoD killstreaks. If you remember those dogs from Call of Duty: World at War, well guess what. They're fucking back, but luckily it takes an 11 killstreak to use them. Once again, here is the link.
