Call of Duty Back Ops to have Combat Training Mode

Finally - Bots and splitscreen! Black Ops just jumped to #1 on my wishlist.
This is actually a pretty big thing for the franchise. Should be a great tool for beginners and clans.
Hoo-freakin-ray
Not enough games have Bots these days. I stopped buying FPSs because I hate playing online (i'm happy to admit i suck) And the singleplayer campaigns just weren't worth the money. Killzone was my only exception......because it had Bots.
Now Black Ops has jumped to an instant buy for me.
@Anonymous
Totally flippin agree with you!
I think - as everyone should ;-) that the addition of bot training mode will benefit all.
It'll give people more practice, and hopefully a bigger curve when moving from the single-player to multi-player. I know a lot of people who have trouble in that translation.
This is great! Having satelite internet (FTL), I am unable to participate in online multiplayer. This will add ridiculous amounts of replay value for me.
Good for you Carson, at least one person is happy and not hating on this mode.
Great! I would not buy the game without this!
yay
thats damn cool
if anyone knows if u can rank up in combat training that would b great (still will buy the game if u cant because bots are unreal)
FINALLY a way to play multiplayer without xbox live!
Anyone know if u still rank up and unlock weapons/perks?
yes you can rank up and unlock everything just like the online multiplayer
Probably there best innovation yet!!! How i playing against bots with friends!! soooo much fun because you can level up, get attachments and perks. Also you can choose the amount of bots you want to play against and their difficulty level :D
Hate to be the buzz-kill, but you still need Internet connection and a live account to play CT. sucks :/
once in a while an AI should be a hacker with an aim-bot and 10th prestige to learn how to beat them
There's know way u can rank up and unlock perks....its called COMBAT TRAINING...Train u to go to mutli-player and stop being scared of a challenge..but i must agree with one of the comments that said the AI sould be a hacker with aim bot to learn how to beat them...but if u think ur gonna hv non stop fun killin bots u got another thing coming
it has its own progression system to the multiplayer online gameplay so u can get used to handlin guns that u havent unlocked online that u want to unlock in the future
can you play combat training offline too? then is it the coolest thing now.
Yes - it is an offline training mode, so yes!
But does the Unlocks of Perks/Weapons gonna count in the REAL multiplayer or only in CT (Combat Training)
only in CT
Halo rules...Call of duty is for little girls like yourselfs hahahaha
This last comment? Epic!
You can unlock everything you can like you would in multiplayer. Nothing transfers from training to multiplayer. Also, it saves your progression.
Is the only game modes you can do with bots FFA and TDM?
Can you use killstreaks in combat training, b/c it wont let me
Why can't i use killstreaks on Combat Training?
Luke, yes - killstreaks and all other features work in combat mode once you unlocked them.
are the only avalible game modes team deathmatch and free for all on CT? and also can u change it from core to hardcore on CT?
so i have high speed internet by satilite and i was wondering if this combat training mode would take my bandwidth????
Can somebody tell me how to play this mode.
i can't find it!
@Hudson From what I know the multiplayer only works on Xbox LIVE.
