At an invite-only event in Los Angeles this evening, select members of the gaming industry were invited to a preview of the new multiplayer in Call of Duty: Black Ops. The above trailer was unveiled tonight, showing off new game modes and features to be included in the game. In addition to new killstreaks, Black Ops will also include a new progress system, doing away with leveling all together. Rather than unlocking a gun at a specific level, you will now earn “COD Points” to spend on new weapons of your choice. Additionally, a new game mode will also allow you to wager your COD Points against other players online.

The dreaded Archdemon has been slain and the advance of the darkspawn halted by a lone, heroic Grey Warden. The kingdom rejoices, but at least one question remains: what happened to Morrigan? The sorceress joined the Wardens cause, but it is said her true purpose was not revealed until the eve of the last battle. She vanished into the shadows, and while rumors claimed she crossed over the mountains into Orlais no trace of her path could be found. She was never heard from again… until now. Nearly a year has passed since the Archdemon’s death, and word has reached the Wardens that Morrigan has returned to Ferelden. She has been sighted in the southern wilderness where she was first encountered. Is it truly her? If it is, then why has is she here and what secret does she carry with her? The Warden heads into the forest to find out and tie up this last loose end once and for all.
