Call Of Duty: Black Ops - 2

[Lots o lafs]

I jsut have to had that the sniper mission in COD4 made me start playing campaigns...

[louiebling$]

I'm wondering if Zombies will even be in it because Moon makes you think that was the last Zombies Map

[craigdbfan]

They can always start a new zombie storyline.

[Ace]

I only play COD for the zombies, so I hope Black Ops 2 has it. I don't see why it wouldn't either considering how popular that mode is though.

Rumored leaked list of changes:

This year, Call of Duty will return with it's ninth installment with Black Ops 2. As expected it will be following Treyarch's previous game Black Ops. It's release date is set for the 6th of November.

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

• 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 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

No news of Zombies

[UltimateWebhead]

I'm glad they are finally removing the aim assist for snipers.

[jacobed]

Waw is without a doubt my favorite cod ever. I think that while Treyarch doesn't reinvent or bring anything new to the table like IW, they do a much better job at balancing out the mp and listening to the fans plus they create much better maps than IW could even dream of doing

[craigdbfan]

Black Ops 2 sounds pretty damn awesome if all of that is true. Now that MW3 has been out for a while Black Ops for me personally clearly stands as the better game. I'm also incredibly happy that the map design of Black Ops is returning. I actually like 2/3 story buildings and larger layouts instead of whatever MW3 was doing. Even Treyarch smaller maps are more entertaining.

Major kudos to Treyarch. I hope they bring back the customization of the emblems.

[Soapy]

Yep. I went back and played some BLOPS a few days ago, and it is absolutely the best Call of Duty since CoD4.

It'll return. The mode is too popular & brings in too much money for it not to be back. I'm pretty sure the Treyarch map packs sell better than the IW maps because of zombies. Plus, the story line has to be finished. We can't leave it off with Richtofen gaining control of the zombies & betraying the team, now can we?

[jacobed]

They also sell better because they are better maps. Treyarch knows how to make good maps

This brings me great joy

I really hope they up the graphics/engine on this one. I really liked Black Ops so I might get this one.

[DIRECTOR]

i will definately get Black Ops 2. MW3, I don't know, Multiplayer isn't fun, the maps are dark and over done. The prestige option is useless since you can get gold guns from the get go, so why would i ever prestige........ and it takes toooooooooo long to prestige.

but why, what's the point? what is the incentive? I understand you get new emblems and callsigns, and tokens probably......... but I'm able to get gold guns (more like brown guns).......

In the other games, prestige to the last (or second to last) level get's you gold guns.... and their were shiney and kool.

Yeah, a CoD4 style upgrade is well overdue. Black Ops 2 on a new engine would really be something to get excited about.
