PS3 Exclusive

This is a sub-page of Call of Duty: Black Ops (Windows, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii).

To do: There exists files called dev.ff, dev_mp.ff, snd.dev.all.pak, and snd.dev.english.pak exclusive to this version. Do they do or cotain anything interesting that is worth noting?

Call of Duty: Black Ops does, in fact, have some cut content exclusive to its PS3 version, most likely because the developers who ported the game to PS3 forgot to delete some files.

Unused Videos#

creek_load.bik#

This is an early version of the loading screen "Victor Charlie". It is shorter than the final version, and there is no sound.

mid_theriver_1.bik#

This video is an early version of a mid-game cutscene for the mission "Crash Site". Mason talks about how he heard Woods crying after the death of a young soldier. The graphics are a bit downgraded compared to the final game's graphics. Mason can also be seen with no restraints to keep him from getting out of the chair. There is no sound at all.

interrogation_load_1.bik#

According to how the video looks and its filename, this could have possibly been a loading screen for one of the in-game cutscenes that is played in the interrogation room. It contains footage of early content such as the player holding a Makarov with one hand, or a notably earlier version of the mission "Rebirth".

mid_wmd_1.bik#

According to the name, this video was going to be used in the mission "WMD". As you can see in the video, the interrogation room was originally going to look different. Looking at the white screen at the end with some adjustment to the brightness, the Call of Duty: Black Ops logo can be seen. The interrogator appears to be Mason. There is no sound at all.

legal.bik#

This is a leftover from World at War which also had this video exclusive to its PS3 release. From what the video cotains, this was originally a copyright screen intended for the Xbox 360 version of the game before being replaced with the Press Start screen due to the Activision copyright at the bottom of the screen.

zombietron_outro.bik#

This shows a shortened version of the "Nacht Der Untoten" loading screen from Call of Duty: World at War with the text "DEAD OPS ARCADE OUTRO PLACEHOLDER". This was for when you defeat the Cosmic Silverback.

zombie_load.bik#

Like "zombietron.outro.bik", this is the Nacht Der Untoten loading screen from World at War. By the end, the word "Nazi" is covered up by a black rectangle due to Nazi Zombies in Black Ops expanding beyond just zombies of Nazi soldiers. This video was probably a placeholder loading screen for any zombie maps that do not have a loading screen.
