Live From Los Angeles? The Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer Reveal

Around 6PM Pacific we'll be seeing just how well this "stream from your cell phone" stuff really works.

OK, so I think some of the details on what's being unveiled tonight might have leaked out or something today, but whatever! I'm in Los Angeles for a Call of Duty: Black Ops event, where we'll be hearing more about the game's multiplayer modes, and I'll be attempting to use my cell phone to deliver portions of the event to you via our official justin.tv channel, helpfully embedded below! Alternately, you can also watch the stream from the awesome new Giant Bomb chat page.

  

  
 
Of course, this being Los Angeles, and AT&T being AT&T, my cell signal has been absolute garbage since I hit town. So we're kind of at the whim of AT&T's 3G coverage... sounds hopeless, I know, but it'll be fun to give it a shot either way. So join us, won't you? If it doesn't work, well, then at least Drew came along with me with the real camera. So we'll get what we need either way.

The event should start around 6PM (Pacific time, ask your Internet to figure out what that means in your timezone!) with a brief presentation, followed by some hands-on time. I'm not exactly sure what they're letting us shoot (my guess is that I won't be allowed to just point the phone or our cameras at a TV and shoot footage for an hour), so we're sort of playing it by ear. If you're around and are willing to come on an adventure with me, well, come back around 6 and we'll all find out together, cool?     
 
Oh, after the presentation, I'll probably start and stop the stream in spots to conserve battery or, like, go to the bathroom and stuff. With the way the iPhone app cuts off right when you hit stop (instead of streaming out its entire buffer first), the cuts may seem abrupt. Consider yourselves warned!
