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 two points
A neutral flag is worth one, however an enemy flag is worth two
flag assist capture is worth one, a capture is worth two
The Specialist Pointstreak has been modified. Two kills now gets you one perk. The fourth kill gets you two more perks. The sixth kill gets you three more perks. The eighth kill gets you four more perks. You do not get every perk when you reach eight 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 its ability to detect enemies through most walls. Note: the scope can only be attached to primaries not including shotguns
Item Packages require five 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 armour

Prestiges

There will be 15 prestiges
There will be 50 ranks
Every two prestiges there is a five 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 levelling 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 one 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) One 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 are now two 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 one 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 advanced AI system
Similar to the behaviour seen in the MW3 Spec Ops survival

Sounds interesting. I kinda like this idea.

I really like this. The MOAB and nuke just aren't needed. The main thing though is the lack of last stand and death streaks. Props to them for finally taking that crap out.

Smart. The map design/size was one of the main issues I had with MW3. The maps were terrible.

It may be just aesthetic changes, but still pretty cool nonetheless. Also, I wonder how easy it will be to tell which perks/pointstreaks the player picked from their appearance.

No grenade launchers

Awesome. It really sounds like they are actually listening to a lot of the problems that plagued the other games.

I don't know if I like this idea. How would this work? Would it be like Last Stand where you can still shoot? Not too sure if I like it.

Really cool idea here. Multiple levels will make prestige more worthwhile.

It sounds like they are going to vastly improve the game play. Hopefully, they also improve on the hit detection. Along with the level design, hit detection was the other main reason I sold MW3 back.

Interested to see where this game goes.

Wonder if they could make it like GOW, where all you can do is crawl to get out of danger and hopefully someone will revive you before you bleed out.

The no launchers looks like hardcore only.

This could be the start of something good.

They always have something for everyone broke. You'll be fine. Maybe they will have an invisibility cloak.

i'll be skeptical until the game drops...they ruined sniping in BLOPS by trying to remove quickscoping. if they can remove quickscoping without ruining sniping mechanics, i'm on board.

in core if you stay still or lay down, you recover from injuries. in hardcore you don't recover after being injured - the screen stays red. i wonder how this will work to?

Dont know how credible this source is but they say its November 6th.

According to our sources, they have been able to get a solid read on when we should see the Call of Duty Black Ops 2 sequel. Our sources tell us that the Treyarch-developed sequel to the 2010 Black Ops will hit retail establishments on November 6th. It will again be backed by one of the biggest advertising campaigns for a view game launch that we have seen, with Activision spending some serious coin.

That would be brilliant. I always liked that aspect of GOW. The only thing they would need to avoid is how in GOW, you start bleeding out pretty much every time you are attacked, allowing you a chance to crawl away.

I don't think that would work in COD. GOW is a much more direct, in your face kind of multiplayer. COD isn't. This feature would become a highly hated one if it happens every time, like GOW.

Just think about it. You shoot someone who is standing up behind a low wall. They drop down into bleed out mode and you can't see them. GOW's gameplay allows you to run up and get that kill. COD's does not.

I'm really interested to see how they do this.
