The campaign is very straightforward in the game, if I find anything worthy of being mentioned here from the campaign I will say. The main tricks come from the main screen and the zombie minigames.
When you first turn on Black Ops there will be the “Press Start” screen. Continue on to the menu on the television. You are actually playing as the main character in this screen. Use the right analog stick to look around. You are strapped into a chair with two belts. Now, hit Right trigger and then left trigger. Repeat this several times quickly. You will break out of the chair. You will gain an achievement and be able to walk around the room you are in. Near the back of the room in the right corner there is a computer. You can press X (I assume square if you use a playstation) to sit at it. There will be a keyboard that you can use with the A (Possibly X) button and the left analog stick. Here are some codes you can type in, each do something different.
DOA - Unlocks Dead Ops arcade. It is a zombie minigame. Use the right stick to shoot and the left stick to move. Left trigger will call in a tactical bomb. The start screen contains other controls.
Zork- Unlocks a text based roleplaying game.
3arc unlock- Unlocks all zombie maps and campaign mission. Very powerful code.
I assume there are other codes to be found.
Black Ops features an entire Zombie setting, rather than just one level given to us in World at War. In this one players have to activate the power to unlock certain machines. Like most of the game aim and reaction time are two very important factors in victory against the undead horde but strategy comes into play more than ever in this part of the game. The first map, “Kin der Toten”, has 8 doors to be unlocked ranging from 750 to 1250 points to open. Each room contains a different weapons that also must be purchased with points. Points are gained from killing zombies and rebuilding barriers. Here are some of my strategies I used in this level.
In the first round zombies can take 5 rounds in the chest from a handgun or 1 melee attack from a knife. This is one of the most important rounds. Be sure to shoot zombies at least 5 times and melee them once. This will give you 180 points per zombie. I normally do not take a gun from the first room either. Let them tear down a few barriers so you can rebuild them for extra points. At the end of each round there will be a final zombie. Killing him will start the next round and spawn a new horde. This zombie is called the transition. It is wise to keep the transition alive while you rebuild barriers and they are especially useful when moving rooms. After you have 3,000 points or it is the end of round three it is time to move. Avoid the second room on either way you decide to go. Either go outside or the room with the staircase. Leaving a transition up while you move will allow you to move in peace, rather than fight off the horde while you go.
Outside there will be an AK47 available on the right side of the building. It is wise to get this if you don’t already have a gun. On the inside (the staircase room) there is a chance a random weapon chest will be there. For 950 points you can get a random weapon. This is the most powerful item on this map for it can award very powerful weapons. It is wise to arm yourself with two guns from this chest. If you don’t like you gun do not be afraid to try your luck again. In this room zombies will come from windows and the door you entered the room from. It is probably a good idea to stay in the doorway to the next room if you have a rapid fire gun with a long clip. If you don’t make them come for you and then herd them around the stairways while you shoot them.
Outside zombies come from 3 different directions, making them hard to control. They come from inside, the gate near the stairs, and drop from a roof in the alley. This also makes it difficult becuase the roof zombies will come instantly and there is no barrier you can build to stop them. Get out of this area as soon as you can.
The next area over from the stairway room is a dressing room with a hole in the roof. They will come from here instantly and there is no barrier to keep them away. You need to get to the stage area (next room) as soon as you can. The only perk to being here is the chance for the random weapon crate to be here. Like I said before, that is the most powerful tool in this game.
The next room from outside has not been tested much by me. I have not seen and good weapons in this room and they come from many different directions. It’s probably also a bad idea to stay in this room. Progress to the stage as soon as possible.
On the stage there is a switch that will turn on the electricity. The round that you do this crawling zombies will start coming at you. They explode on death and release a gas that hurts your vision. They are pretty easy to kill this round but may go undetected due to their size. With the electricity on several things happen. You can now use traps and machines (Like the ones found in the first room and outside). Also, a door at the end of the stage room will open. This is a direct path to the first room.
At the 5th-8th round demons will come. They can hit you more times than zombies and are easy to kill. They also explode on death though. By this point many zombies will be coming for you. They will be quicker and tougher than before. Now that you have a full circit (or half) up you can herd them. Get them to come at you from the same direction and run around your circut while killing them. This can be dangerous, as some may be in your way on the circut. It is a good idea as reloading can be completely safely.
The pentagon map has not been tested enough to be written about in detail. The only tips I have to give you is break out the glass to doors and windows in the first round. Then rebuild the glass so you can shoot them from a distance without destroying your own barrier. There is a table in the center of the room that can be used to herding in the first round. Remember to build points with your handgun and knife in the first round. There will be multiple elevators you can use throughout the map. Using the second elevator in the war room will cause crawlers to spawn.

The controller you are using can play a big role in your performance as a gamer. Obviously that second image is a bit of an exaggeration, but it gets the point across. The way a gaming controller can affect actual gamplay range from something on the surface of the controller to a broken or malfunctioning part of it. Sometimes you can use external controller modifications to give you the advantage in a game and here is how:
If you play a lot of first person shooting games you should know that many of them cuase a vibration inside of the controller when you take damage or fire a weapon. Your brain will become used to this over a long period of time. When it gets used to this Vibration-feedback it will grow a connection between firing the gun in the game, and the vibration. When the mechanism that causes them eventually wears itself down to the point where it stops functioning you will react to it one way or another. Some people will completely ignore it, some people will enjoy the change, and some might be completely lost. It is important to have the controller function in the same way at all times.
External interferences like a stickiness, a grease, or some other slipperiness can greatly affect the way you control your character. Sliperiness can cause unintended button presses, which could mean your failure during a game. Stickiness could cause a button to stick, which will obviously cause some type of problem. To avoid interferencesforeign substances keep the controller clean, avoid touching it when your hands may have something on them, and don’t touch it immediately after or during eating. Some of the worst substances that can get onto your controller and cause these problems are foods like bacon, chicken wings, or any other high-grease foods.
However sometimes it can be helpful to have a modification to your controller. (Completely fake example) Lets say you are in a shooting game and for whatever reason you have been granted unlimited ammunition. You no longer have to worry about taking your finger off the button but you are still holding it… You could apply some temporary modification to the trigger or whatever button you are using to completely eliminate the need of wasting a finger on the button.
Useless trick 3 - the gaming controller might be a bunch of information you have been doing since you began gaming… If so you aren’t allowed to brag in the comment section. Thank you.

Hunger can become a major problem in a game that requires constant attention for a long period of time. This is why you want to stock up on gaming food. The ideal gaming food is something small that requires one hand to eat and doesn’t grab your attention. That means nothing overly sweet, sour, or spicy. Below are two lists of some of the best consumables around for gaming.
Food:
Raw Carrot - The raw carrot is crunchy but easy to hold, mild in flavor but moderately filling, this simple snack allows you to quickly calm your hunger without putting down the controller.
Nuts - These tough fruits are small, easy to chew, and heavy in flavor in all varieties and flavors. From almonds to cashews, in any flavor from honey roasted to wasabi, these hard shelled treats are hard to resist.
Hard candies - This fortified candy has a thick layer of candy reaching down to it’s core, ensuring a long life and longer lasting flavor. Not particularly filling or good for you, but a good choice to keep your mouth busy.
Gum - If you are mainly concerned with keeping your mouth busy, this is your choice. This viscid treat will fill your mouth with flavor, and will never shrink in size or vanish. The true everlasting food to keep you mouth busy for multiple hours.
Drinks:
Energy Drink - An energy drink can help keep you alert and keep your thinking quick. It will result in a crash, so be prepared for that. If you just want energy, and not a thirst quenching drink try the 5-hour energy shot.
Sports drink - A sport drink, like gatorade has added electrolytes to kill your thirst quicker than a normal drink. Many sports drinks come in large containers which may affect the ability to put them in a cup holder.
Bottled water -This is liquid at it’s simplest. No distracted taste, no highs or crashes, just regular thirst quenching water. 0 calories, 0 sugars, 0 ingredients… This allows to take your mind off health and back on your game.

The gaming stance can mean the victory between success and failure in many video games. Your comfort level and view of the screen can affect gameplay more than any other factor. Some of the more casual games allow you to lay back and enjoy the game. However…
More challenging video games require constant attention to progress forward in the game. In these times it is important to remember the following tips:
View - Have a good, unobscured view of what you are playing at all times.
Distance - You will want to be a medium distance away from the television or other gaming device. You don’t want to see pixels and ruin your vision but you don’t want to squint to see the gameplay.
The gaming stance - This will greatly vary from one person to the other. The stance that keeps comfort and being able to be quick on the draw in perfect balance. Leaning forward or laying back, standing or sitting, the gaming stance is completely up to you.

I apologize for the very few video games tips, tricks, or glitches I have provided. This website was created for me when I was very young and I admit I did a horrible job of running it. From this point on I will focus more on the site and instead of providing tips for specific games like I have below focus more on the actual act of it and useless tricks to help maximize your performance while gaming.

Tricks
Free Dalaran Port: If you are eager to get into Dalaran, here is a way to get there. Get any character within your level range for battlegrounds. Have the player in dalaran start a battleground. Hit “enter as group”. When you get into the battleground, type /afk. When you are kicked out of the battleground you will be in dalaran. (this works with any of the cities that have battle masters)
Easy Gnomergan run: Once you enter the instance, kill the first few trogs. Go to the right and jump down to the gear. Let you’re health recharge before you fight again. You can now go down the hallway to find a path to the spider-tank boss. And he drops [workshop key]. Now keep going down the hall with the dark-iron dwarves. Enter the final chamber and kill Thermaplug.
Easy Zul Farrak run: Get on you’re mount and run to the end of the instance. Use Shadowmeld and you are safe. (requires that you are a night elf)
Useless Tricks:
Secret Tauren Camp: There is a tauren camp in the sea below Silithus. You can swim from Tanaris to the bottom of Silithus. There will be a tauren camp, and a cave. The cave has nothing inside of it.
Secret Night Elf Ruins: Swim from the Eastern Plaugelands and swim up the cost. You will see on you’re zone map a glitch. It says you are in the middle of the ghostlands however, the mini-map indicates Quel-Thalas. You will eventually find a ngiht elf camp.
High Level Areas in Low-Level Areas:
Grim Batol: 58-63 elite-boss. In eastern wetlands there is a area called “Grim Batol” though it is not an instance it has high level elites.
Bough Shadow: levels 61-62. In the northern-most part of Ashenvale there is a area called “Bough Shadow”. Which is home to many higher levels.
“Ortells Highdout” In Dun Morogh-Go through the south gate pass tunnel to dun morogh. There will be mountains west of the other mountains but east of the western mountains. Go up the middle mountains. You will have to go right and then make a left. Keep going until you can no longer go forward. Jump to the right and get up on that mountain. This next jump requires a 120% mount such as a death knight or a paladin buff. (A mage could use slow fall) Jump across while touching the wall of the mountain. You will land on the other side. Now climb up to the cave. Enter the cave. It will say “Ortell’s Hideout, Silithus”

Useless Door Trick
well in the last test chamber Glados is going to kill you. escape the fire pit. when on the platform crouch. shoot a portal on the wall all the way back on the hallway near the cake sighn. If you shot a orange portal, shoot a blue one and enter it. don’t storm into it or you will die. walk slowly. while standing at the very tip of the orange portal; just enough so that the cursor is bright fire a portal. if the tip of the portal you are standing on is blue, then you want to shoot an orange portal. turn around with your right analog stick. and go to the tip of that portal. and do the same thing with that one.
Take a note of the color of the portal for if you don’t you will have to do this whole thing again. do this again and again until you reach the Aperature science emergencey steal lock. ( The door) fire the portal under the door.
Get to the platform. and then to the sighn that says 19. the elevator door is easily able to be walked through.

The famine skull: The famine skull is located after the friget lands,but before you get to the energey bridge. on a bridge wright after where the Phantom lands. If you see a floating platform and a fuel-rodder you went just a little to far. The blind skull is located on sierra 117 or mission 1. after the water fall at the first enemy sight, go to the stream. follow that stream. when you reach the end look right there should be a tree. jump down. the skull of blindness. there are things in multiplayer too. on Last Resort forge go into the warehouse. fly to the highest. and put a reciever node on one of the far edges. Spawn a tank after making a sender node and teleporting. It will get stuck. have player 2 fly and land on the sparking tank. You shall soar like a eagle. on the level sand trap put one UNSC Elephant facing face to face with the other. move yours towards it. you’ll do a but stand. hop out. get in the other one. move forward the elephant will flip get on top of it. it will say, press rb to flip… wait how did you do this. do as it says flip it while on the correct side and fly. In the level HALO when you are about to jump look right there will be a crack in the mountain with a hallway. get in. go right. go to the edge and look right while on the left side. throw a grenade and jump. you will land on a far platform. Now jump into the wierd off hallway you will see a guy. digitalizationalizing on the covonent. When you first get the hornets, land on a tall land mass and steal a banshee. go over the mountain (While boosting) and you will be near a large temple. The temples back is in the middle of digitilizationaliization. Or as I call it a oddworld. fly into the back of the temple. you will spawn in an empty snow world.

Glitches:
Floating: If you are in a hydra (triangle, triangle, square, O, X, L1, L1, Down, Up) and have a parachute then you are ready. Get going full speed and ram into the ground going at a slightly downward angle. Hit triangle to exit AS SOON AS YOU HIT THE GROUND. If done correclty, you will be hanging in mid air.
The Cropduster of Doom: Spawn any airplane you like. Activate the cars float up (square r2 down down left down left left l2 X) and cars fly (square down l2 up L1 Circle up x left) and then spawn a quadbike (left left down down up up square circle triangle r1 r2) ram the quadbike into the airplane. If the airplane doesn’t float right away dont ram into it until it does. Just hop into it. Ride up until it says you’re location is “san andreas” let it climb a little more activate the slow motion cheat (triangle up right down square r2 r1) and repeat it again. Now activate the hydra cheat or the stunt plane cheat. If you have a parachute, disable it. As it says the name of the place you are entering start slamming square over & over. (you must have full health + armor) when you hit, activate health. And run. A tower of planes will rain down on the village. These effects look like that of a nuke.
Useless Tricks:
San Fiero’s Own Trick: Get either a PCJ-600, NRG-500, police bike, or a BF-400. Go to the bridge that is made of cement. Begin going up the cement bridge. When you get to where the parachute is you can do 1 of 2 things. As you are going down the other side you can slide off which isnt that great. Or you can do it the right way. Just go down the other side for a speed bonus. (The speed bonus sounds usefull but going up the bridge takes a while.)
Flamingo: Get a sniper-rifle and go to anywhere in the game. (pools of drainage is more fitting for this glitch) Hit the r1 button and very quickly hit r2. You will be on 1 leg as long as you’re anolog stick is up.
Pools of Drainage: There is a mysterious pool in the rural area. This pool eats cars. This is the pool of drainage in back-o-beyond. Try to find it! (the game doesn’t verify them as “the pools or drainage” but is a fitting nick-name for it.)
