Its no console port! The game is developed on PC for the PC by a dedicated PC team for over 2 years The consoles version are developed on PC but adapted to Consoles. I expect the graphics (texture resolution in particular) to be much nicer on PC.
With all the fuss about Black Ops’ multiplayer and as-yet-unannounced co-op mode, there is one element of the game that has been overlooked. Speaking in the latest issue of Edge, Josh Olin talks about the interactive scenery in Black Ops’ multiplayer and how it “can really change how the battle plays out.”On a number of the multiplayer maps there are buttons you can press to open doors or cue timed events, like rockets launching (see above image) or blast doors opening. Olin explained in Edge:“I don’t think the community has fully grasped the importance of this. Take Launch, for example, where the rocket takes off. If you’re under it you die, but one of the Search and Destroy bomb sites is under there, and there’s a Demolition site under there too. You have to time your attacks based around when that rocket’s going to go off – and you can use that to win the game. In CTF, I’ve practised with my team here at Treyarch to capture the enemy flag, take it down through that route at just the right time, so the rocket launches and the guys who are chasing me can’t get under there and have to turn round.”In another multiplayer map, Radiation, a set of blast doors can only be opened and closed via a control panel on a nearby platform. Olin says this could prove decisive in Domination mode.“If you’ve captured that point, it might be valuable to send a couple of guys up there to take the control panel and close the doors. Now the only point of attack is down through the tunnels – so you know where they’re going to come from, they can’t jump in from above. It can really change how the battle plays out.”
n Call of Duty: Black Ops, the player is able to Dive to prone, this allows the player to get quickly into/out of fire. The player also needs to wait a few seconds to be able to get back up. The dive is activated by holding the prone/crouch button while sprinting. This move has been said to be purely defensive.
