The Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer reveal event took place September 1st, 2010, giving gaming press from around the country the chance to see what all the fuss is about. Below you will find all the main info from the presentation. Take a deep breath, Enjoy.

A new Battlefield: Bad Company 2 server build (R21) has been rolling out since last Friday. This update does not apply to clients. If you own a server, contact your server provider to see if your server has been updated.

Since Friday evening, servers are gradually being upgraded to R21.

It was developed in response to some RSPs reporting that players would spam in the text chat, and that would cause stuttering for other players.

• There is a spam filter for text-chat: if someone sends 5 messages in 10 seconds, that player is muted for 60 seconds
• Text chat can be muted across the entire server
• Individual players can be promoted to “admin” (cannot be muted, spam filter does not apply) and “muted” (never allowed to text chat)
• All settings configurable via remote admin interface
• New textfile on-disk: textchatmoderationlist.txt [list of which players are admin & muted]
• Updated docs; available here
