Let's get this started...



Leaked Black Ops 2 Multiplayer Information
Quote:
Game Modes


Escort, a new game mode similar to Search and Destroy however a live player must be escorted to one of three areas (or two depending on the map) without being killed. The match will have rounds, consisting of one life only.

Drop Zone and Kill Confirmed will return

Team Defender and Infected will not return


Pointstreaks


Will follow from Modern Warfare 3's system

Larger emphasis on objectives

A bomb plant is worth 2 points

A neutral flag is worth 1, however an enemy flag is worth 2

flag assist capture is worth 1, a capture is worth 2

The Specialist Pointstreak has be modified. 2 kills now gets you 1 perk. The 4th kill gets you 2 more perks. The 6th kill gets you 3 more perks. The 8th Kill gets you 4 more perks. You do not get every perk when you reach 8 kills. Perks only become "Pro" when you have them Pro

RC XD will not return

Heat vision is a new Pointstreak reward. When you get the required points, you can activate this Pointstreak and your player pulls out a scope and attaches it to your weapon. This scopes main advantage is it's ability to detect enemies through most walls. Note, the scope can only be attached to primaries not including shotguns

Item Packages requires 5 points. Fall along side care packages and air drop traps. Features a list of package items only including ammo, mini gun, grenade launcher, rocket launcher, and body armor


Prestiges


There will be 15 prestiges

There will be 50 ranks

Every two prestiges there is a 5 rank increase

The final prestige has 90 levels


ELITE 2.0


ELITE is being fully incorporated into Black Ops 2

Combat record has been modified and re-named as ELITE Stats

There will be a specific lobby for clan matches (new way of leveling clans)

Clan Tournaments can now be implemented


Removed


No MOAB or Nuke

No last stand

No death streaks

No flame thrower attachment


Map Design


Map design and size will be following Black Ops not Modern Warfare 3


Sniper Rifles


Improved sniper rifle usage.

No aim assist for any sniper rifle.

Less sway


Customization


No longer just perk 1 chooses the players appearance

Appearance is a combination of all perks and type of Pointstreak being used.


Hardcore


Larger emphasis on hardcore than ever before

No grenade launchers

Only vehicle guided rocket launchers permitted

Respawn timings decreased (for most modes)

1 bullet in the foot will no longer kill a person, a head or chest shot is usually required.

A person will now bleed out if severely injured.


Perk System 2.0


The Perk Pro system has been upgraded

There is now 2 options a perk can advance to.

Both require different challenges to unlock

Once the desired Pro version is unlocked, the player can select that as their "Perk Pro".

Once selected, the only way to choose the other option is by entering prestige mode.

For example Perk slot 1 has the perk called Speed

Speed - Reduces the time taken to aim down the sight. Pro I - Swaps weapons faster. Pro II - Throws equipment faster


Combat Training


Will be returning with vast improvements.

Difficulty is no longer based on how long the bots take to start shooting.

Bots now have an advance AI system

Similar to the behavior seen in the MW3 Spec Ops survival

Sure the quadrotor may look toy-like, similar to the RC-XD, but all they need to do is make it a higher killstreak. It instantly becomes nothing like the RC-XD.


Vonderhaar said there is a "Mute all but Party" feature. I like that ALOT.

Yeah the trailer really didn't make that clear at all. But since then the embargo on all the press lifted and there is a disgusting amount of info there. Polygon has some ridiculously extensive coverage.


The only part I'm slightly turned off by is the missions that seemingly have RTS elements. I need that in my COD as much as I need an FPS sequence in Starcraft. Im not of the camp that thinks COD is stale and needs fixing. I think they should just continue to do what they excel at instead of trying to "answer the critics". But still...benefit of the doubt until I've played it myself.

Sounds like more RPG than RTS, but yeah. Treyarch: I don't want Call of Duty: Mass Effect or Call of Duty: Halo or Call of Duty: Ghost Recon or Call of Duty: Battlefield.


That's my concern with this. It just looks and sounds like they're trying to work in pieces from successful series instead of creating their own thing. It's FrankenCoD.


Also, hopefully the map designs for MP will be better than the stuff they showed there. They did some really nice maps in Blops but the scenery here looks like MW3 maps - various shades of gray and brown.

Oh, you kids and your RCXD bitching.

Don't you talk about my rock! It's nice and cozy under here, I got a big screen and BF3 keeping me company until BLOPS 2 is out - only then shall I move my rock close to you COD guys again

Be careful I see enough of an opening to stick that crossbow bolt in there and blow your a$$ up!


Of course I will have to avoid the tomahawk flying at my face while I do this

No, I have no problem with the RC-XD. It was a reference to the whiners who don't even know 95% of what the game will be like yet are whining already. It's like people are already assuming that the quadrotor will be a 3-killstreak reward.

I like the idea of radical change. It may not work but I'm looking forward to seeing if it will. We can always count on IW to bring back kill streaks and lag comp the following year. I still play MW3 all the time but I'm not much of a gamer so it doesn't say much. I play Halo and COD and that's about it. I stray once in a while but I'm pretty boring when it comes to gaming, I enjoy movies much more.


I was very impressed with the Crysis 2 MP so I'm looking forward to this even if it is out of the COD norm.

Nah! It's gonna be future-fied. You'll have a Primary slot, 2ndary slot and a unmanned slot that will feature the Quad-rotor, Recon drone, etc. So MP can be nothing but a sky full of Quad-rotors in dog-fights.

Excited for the game, as Mw3 is by far the worst of the call of duty games. From watching the trailer, it looks like they have ripped off the movie Avatar, from the Hovering air vehicle to the walker. In any matter should be sweet, as long as the weapons dont become Halo. Treyarch in my mind clearly makes much better maps. And they have stated that the maps will be large like black ops, rather than the cluster f that mw3 maps are, where the maps are so small you cant spawn. Cant wait to see some multiplayer at E3. Sure Microsoft will have it during their presentation.

Don't count on it. They haven't shown MP at e3 for years now. They have their own convention now. It'll almost certainly be in September like last year, which lines up with the end of DLC releases for MW3. Showing too early means showing things that may change, not to mention jeopardize MW3 DLC sales.


Over the next few months we'll probably be able to piece together some stuff from twitter tidbits, and be constantly barraged by rumors, of which 90% end up false. Probably even worse this time around because the future setting allows people to make up crazy **** without being implausible.


For instance, things that have already been mentioned by press who've seen the game.


Scope that lets you see through walls

Sniper rifle that shoots through walls

Wrist mounted grenade launcher

Wrist gadget that knocks people down with a blast of air


And that's the stuff from people who actually seen it!


4 more months.

I felt more Deus Ex from the trailer... even down to the music.

What's great is if you don't like the futuristic idea behind this COD there's only four freaking other ones set in the recent past/modern era already out that you can play instead.

Time out there my man. The only thing I said was that I didn't wanna see all these unmanned UAV type things reigning over the battlefield, buzzing around like bees, and further taking away from the gun on gun action. I'm not whining, nobody is that I have seen, but we're entitled to give our opinion about what we've seen so far.....aren't we?

If you think MW3 is the worst and has the worst maps, then you didn't play CoD 3. That game was and is considered by most, the worst CoD game.


That said, I do hope the maps are at least able to handle spawns better, so I can take more than two steps without getting shot in the back. That is my biggest gripe with MW3, the spawn system is flat out broken and extremely unfair sometimes.

There is not one thing on that list that sounds good. A sniper that shoots through walls? Really? Like they're not bad enough now? I say give us a game with NO snipers.


This may be the first CoD that earns a giant pass from me. And yes, I'm judging already but I may change my mind at any moment.

Well...they kinda already shoot through walls. But this is supposedly it's a miniaturization of the million rounds a minute "metal storm" tech that's already out there.


Treyarch was pretty hard on snipers with blops, so I'm not too worried. They've also had terrible weapon balance in the past though, so maybe I should be?

I just really, really, really don't want to give it to gamestop. Theyve screwed me too many times on preorders....waiting for amazon to list the hardened edition.

Apparently its going down in waves, the earlier you order, the more goodies you get. Kinda disgusting, but also kinda genius.

Prestige Token for MW3 -- who gives a crap?!?!?


The poster -- ehhh.


The other items well until we know what they are who can judge.
