Unlockable: Pentagon Map for Zombie Mode (Five)Beat the game on any difficulty to unlock Zombie Mode, where you play as Nixon, Castro, Kennedy, McNamara, beat the game on any difficulty. Alternately, you can enter the 3ARC UNLOCK code in the cheats menu.
AK96Unlockable: Thundergun in CampaignMuch like the Ray Gun in the previous game, the Thundergun can be unlocked in Black Ops by performing the following specific actions on the level "Numbers." After the interrogation ends, look for six canisters. Toss grenades at the canisters to the rear left and rear right. Shoot the other canisters until smoke is released. A black tape will appear out of a cassette deck. Grab it with the action button. Leave the room and head upstairs. Kill everyone and move to the rooftop and jump to the next floor. Weaver and Clark will move the fridge revealing a weapons cache. Here you'll find the a cassette player. Hit the action button here and you'll put the tape in the deck. You should hear music and the screen will shake and shortly the Thundergun will come out of the wall. Enjoy!

Hint: Pack-A-Punch on Five (Zombies)I'm not sure if you guys knows this but me and some friends figured this out. If you want to reach the Pack-A-Punch on the Zombies mode "Five" map:
Make a crawler and go into the middle room and adjust the DEFCON level to DEFCON 5. Every teleporter will take you to Presidential Suite. All switches are in that room -- 3 are upstairs and 1 is downstairs.
Hint: How to Beat the Battle of Khe Sanh TrenchesAt the Battle of Khe Sanh, you're told to clear the trenches. What is missed by most is a nearly inaudible clue telling you that there are barrels full of napalm. And, more importantly, there's no help in telling you what to do with those barrels. Shooting them does nothing. Neither does trying to clear the trenches with one of the mounted machineguns, as the Viet Cong keep pouring out in an endless wave. Nope, you have to run to two of the giant, striped barrels near the bottom of the hill and kick them down into the trench. There are two of them. Hide behind the sandbags and take shots at the VC until it's relatively clear. Make a run for the nearby barrel and use the prompt to stab it and kick it down the hill.

If you shoot the mannequin heads in Nuketown you'll hear "Sympathy for the Devil" by the Rolling Stones. -Drunksocks
In the Zombie map "Kino Der Toten" there are 3 pieces of a meteorite located throughout the map. The first is by the stairs when you start the level. The second is in the "boiler room." The third is in the "dressing room." Hit the prompt when next to the piece and your character will say a line about the meteor -- when all 3 pieces have been found, "115" by Elena Siegman will play. -jacobosin
Also, on "Kino Der Toten," in the first room upstairs from where you start, there are 5 pictures on the right. Four of them are the characters you play as and one is blacked-out. You can examines these to hear your character say something about each one. -Jeff

Inside the secret room that contains the presidential seal and a projector, there is a desk.
