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

If only this came out on like April 3rd....

[NKLCOLT1911]

all i know is that people ripped on bops when it came out and then did the same to mw3 so im going to assume it will happen to bops2 also, bottom line is is that there will always be a reason for people to complain.

+1.

Although, with how many launchers there are being used in MW3 hardcore now, I'm glad no more launchers in the new one.

However, they could easily just send out an update that would stop it in MW3 as well.

[fishuhalik]

ya, they could update mw3, but then they wouldnt sell as many units of bo2

[NKLCOLT1911]

thats pretty much it too, now it seems more about money than building a game that has very little issues from the get go they will just keep pumping them out and fixing them along the way, but shame on us for buying them every year and supporting them.

[ted4887]

but shame on us for buying them every year and supporting them.

I say screw "the man", and play a good shooter like BF3 instead. I'm sick of paying $60 for 10 new maps and a few gun updates with these COD games.

[LMITOUT]

On May 1st the official reveal will air during the NBA playoffs on TNT.

PS3 owners will have to wait four weeks to see the reveal.

[Juan Grande]

LOL @LMITOUT, they just find a way to selectively black out the TVs of all PS3 users. Make sure to unplug your PS3 that day so they don't know you have one!

[Scott K]

What if you own a Xbox and a ps3? Is it then a pay per view comercial

[Juan Grande]

Maybe Sony needs to start outbidding Microsoft for the early drop on this stuff. In a few years, PS3 guys be a full year behind on the game and DLC drop dates.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 16 - set to release on November 16, 2017 for Xbox and Summer, 2018 everywhere else.

its because xbox users have to pay for our online service is one of the reasons we get the DLC stuff early.

[TurnUpTheFishing]

Its because Microsoft pays Activision to get the content early on their system.

[Juan Grande]

Yeah, I guess I'd rather wait an extra month and not have to pay for PSN and the wonderful security Sony provides

[Bryce]

And here I thought it was because the xbox players are just better

[CJH]

BF3 DLC is first on PS3, so Sony is starting to figure it out.

[LMITOUT]

But nobody plays or cares about the BF franchise.

[fishuhalik]

Huh, I guess after 5 cod releases, I'm starting to not get quite as excited about it. And for some reason that just doesn't look like cod. Cod is about playing video games with weapons that we read about or already own, not a bunch of futureweapons that shoot lazers & stuff.

[Juan Grande]

Yeah, they should have called it Black Ops 2: Terminators.

[LMITOUT]

Cod is about playing video games with weapons that we read about or already own, not a bunch of futureweapons that shoot lazers & stuff.

My thoughts as well.

If I wanted to play with "futuristic" weapons I'd go buy HALO. Not digging this vibe with BFlops 2, but it's a Treyarch creation so what do you expect.

[TurnUpTheFishing]

Ill wait until I know more before I pass judgement but I think the weapons are going to be modern weapons but the futuristic part is the gun drones and the armored walking things (cheesy) that are no more than Unmanned vehicles, which really isnt futuristic at all. I would imagine many guns from MW3 will be in it and they will probably throw in some weapons that are current prototypes or in development but I dont see them using some HALO type alien weapons.
