END OF EDIT

Use this thread to talk about your hopes and fears for the game that needs to redeem the COD series in many gamers' eyes. I'll be updating it here when the reveal comes out.

Confirmed so far:

Zombie mode
Theatre mode
Clan tag on your gun
Non-stackable killstreaks (you must earn each one with your gun)
RC Car Killstreak
Shrapnel Killstreak
Customisable appearance for avatars and weapons
New dive maneuver (looks unbalancing to me to be honest)

Confirmed Weapons:

Famas (fully auto),
M16
Ak-47
Steyr AUG
CAR-15
L96AW
Dragunov
M60
MP5K
Mini-Uzi
Skorpion
AK-74u (woohoo!)
Explosive crossbow
Ballistic knife
Spaz-muthafuckin-12, baby:

My personal wishlist:

- A beta
- No commando
- Fix the spawn system
- Knife as a secondary (will stop panic knifing)
- Melee with gun butt - 2 hit kill instead of 1 hit (not happening)
- More than one bolt action sniper rifle
- No martyrdom, last stand, painkiller or any perks that reward players for bad play and punish the good players
- No grenade launchers in multiplayer, or at least non-replenish-able ones that occupy a perk slot (too late, they're in)
- Smaller, less camp friendly maps
- Weapon balance - Treyarch got it right last time barring the MP40, I know they can do it

My biggest wish of all:

- A casual, Halo style playlist where your stats and K are not recorded.

This would make the game so much more fun for so many people, let the power players have their space, fun lovers have ours

Anyway, share your wish lists and what you hope Treyarch avoid, and tell us if you think they can redeem the series?

Zombies. Bigger and better.

This will make the game.

 

[ArcWinter]

Better spawns.

That will be all.

it is a problem in ever call of duty game i have played come on guys

The gun butt idea is silly, because we all know it would be worthless. Commando makes the knife overpowered, not OHK. Well, I suppose the sheer speed and auto-aim unbalance it as well...

Melee should be worthless against guns.

The one hit knife kill is retarded, that should only apply if it is aimed at the face or chest.

 

[C95J]

wouldn't a knife as a secondary replace all the other cool weapons that are offered? and knifing would be essentially useless as people would just shoot them instead, and it would be really slow to use the knife.

Exactly. I hate the knifing in COD games, it's far too powerful.

Knives should not beat guns, people!

Yeah I added that to my list. Very true.

I think it should be a stab, where it only works if the crosshairs are pointing at the person, and after you stab the guy, you have to kind of tug it out, which leaves you vulnerable.


And it should take a second or so to grab it anyway, this auto-aim auto-slash nonsense is silly.

 

[The Amazing Tea Alligator]

To be honest, I'd adore to play Call of Zombies. Bar that, I'm not terribly interested - I have a polarization between Arma2 and TF2 what more do I need?

Yeah, I'd be happy enough with that.

Bad Company 2's knife mechanic was a bit better than COD. People running around in COD knifing entire rooms of people shooting at them is pretty retarded.

And it's more satisfying, too. That noise it makes...

*Ahem*.

I'm kinda hoping they make the muzzle flash more like BC2 as well, but they probably won't. Ah well.

Hey Miracle, can I add something to your wishlist?

I know I'm not going to get it, but I'd like to see a game where there was a fire selector. You know, toggle from 3-round burst to full-auto. Actually, including this would save the devs a lot of time and effort(which is money, mkay) because they could cut entire guns out of the game.

For example, if every gun in MW2 could have fired in either at the operator's choosing, the M16 and the FAMAS wouldn't have needed to be included. You'd only need like, five guns assuming there were plenty of attachments for customization.

I've been rallying for this option for a while now, but to no avail. Someday, though.

Because if CoD is as realistic as it makes it's self out to be, it would take along time unsheathing and finding a comfortable position to hold an Assualt Rifle and and knife, then it would also depend on your strength.


OT: As long as the make the M16 realistic and give it a fire selector and get rid of Tactical Nukes and Commando, I'm all in.

I second this one for all its worth, its nice to break away from all those "omg uber rofl1337noob" players every once in a while, and just have some fun.

Oh god Yes! This would be fucking awesome!

Rocket Launchers that dont suck! Like the Rocket Launchers in BFBC2, first time I've had a Rocket Launcher kill strike since Medal of Honor Allied Assault days

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas seities? That has fire selection and a load of of different weapons with different benifits.

I mean, I know not all guns have a fire selector, but most rifles do. The FAMAS has one, the F2000 has one, the FN FAL has one. Hell, "FAL" stands for Fusil Automatique Léger, or Light Automatic Rifle. Single-fire, eh, Infinity Ward?
