It's actually kind of interesting. They aren't exactly taking Call of Duty in a new direction, but these new perks and gametypes seem to suggest that the game is going to play a little bit differently this time around. At a glance, it doesn't seem like any of the perks from any previous games are going to be returning, and are instead being replaced with... really interesting perks.

Things I thought stood out;

-Knives have changed. It looks like no more one hit kills. Now a separate knife slot that allows the use of a... hammer. Cool.

-A pistol attachment for sniper rifles. That coupled with the rumor that aim assist is going to be taking away from the snipers makes it sound like there's no more quick scoping.

-A perk that let's you feign death, yet somehow still sounds balanced

-A new "elite" version of perks, that combines two pro perks in order to have a sort of super perk for an added effect

-A game type that forces you to switch to the opposing team when you die.

Needless to say, if these details are true, this isn't just going to be a Black Ops with a different box. I kinda gave up hope for the series after MW3, but I'm genuinely curious about this game now. It sounds completely different.

Yeah I'm not falling for that again, not after MW3. I think at most I'll give this a rent.

I read the perk list, its a complete load of tosh. There is no way in hell this is legit.

7. Pilot ? Your flying killstreak?s kills will count towards your next killstreak.
b. Pro ? Your controllable flying killstreaks will last until they are shot down.
c. Elite ? With blind eye active ? Your uncontrollable flying killstreaks will not show on the map.

Wait, what? So the chopper gunner can potentially last the entire match then? And the B52 and the napalm strike would basically become like stealth bombers? That's bullshit.

Hmm, interesting ideas, they certainly seem to be changing it up a bit, but it remains to be seen if these changes have any hope of being balanced. The Escort gamemode, for example, while an old favourite of paintballing, I don't think would ever work in COD. It kind of goes against everything that has already been established in COD multiplayer. The maps are small, so the three points that the VIP has to get to would, I'd imagine, take under a minute to sprint to, which everyone will be doing since if there is one thing COD isn't it's a game about teamwork. The entire attacking team will wonder off to camp a flag and take potshots at the VIP completely random. Since you die in anything from 1-4 hits in COD I can't see the defensive team doing much to stop attackers, as soon as they'd appear they'd manage to get a few shots off at the VIP, and that's all they need.

Also it appears they're gimping the knife-fest. About damn time! For me the 1 button instakill knifing is the worst influence COD has had on influencing other multiplayer games. Totally OP in close quarters. Good riddance.

Fool me once Treyarch, shame on you. Fool me twice... yea, I won't be fooled twice. Fuck Treyarch. Black Ops was so bad I think it gave me a brain tumor.

Yeah, its just not gonna happen. Not even the old Infinity Ward would do this.

...Although 5 minute AC130s does sound fucking awesome...

Yeah you're right it just seems like too dumb of an idea for them to do. Although yeah the AC130 would be kinda funny for a bit.

 

[BlueberryMUNCH]

From just reading the talk here...yeah, that's a load of rubbish.
End of teh day, getting MW3 was a mistake, so i seriously doubt I'll be getting Blops2, unless it's some kind of masterpiece.
Meh, no thanks. I'll have my fun with Fifa 13>:].

 

[Total LOLige]

I liked the Black ops campaign I liked the twist. I bet in the sequel it turns out he was never in Vietnam and it was all a dream.

2 knives? A dolphin diving perk? There is no way this can be real otherwise Treyarch can kiss their ass goodbye on developing COD. This list just made me miss the simplicity of COD4 even more. I want COD4 back.

 

[TheRussian]

Oh boy a new Call of Duty!

Spoiler: MASSIVE SARCASM

Oh boy! I can't wait!

Reading the new perks & stuff:

Spoiler: Reaction of the equine variety:

 

[Jegsimmons]

the sad part is that even though Call of Duty hasnt been good since worl at wars story, this ***** will still sell.

god, and it getting dumber, and not everyone else will copy it because it sells and ill have more days where i go into a game store and contemplate suicide because innovation is nearly non existent accept for in 3 franchises.

didn't EA and DICE release patches on battlefield 2 back in like 2005 to stop dolphin diving because it ruins the game play and is a unbalanced?

 

[ThePS1Fan]

The thing I don't like about this is the 'elite' perk variants. CoD games in the future use micro transactions, I'm calling that right now. I'm fine with someone buying some overpowered death canon of doom from beyond the vail of time and space for 5 bucks in a game that was free to start with. But in a game I bought for $60 I don't want to spend a bunch of money every month buying weapon and perk DLC just to balance the game. Staying the fuck away from this.

 

[Dogstile]

Most of those perks seem way to overpowered. Feigning death doesn't seem balanced either. Corpses are pretty much unseeable on the ground anyway, people would just use it to camp. The spy's pro perk completely ruins the point of being a spy, etc.

Calling ballshit

 

[Sean Hollyman]

We will just have to wait and see what happens

1 -Knives have changed. It looks like no more one hit kills. Now a separate knife slot that allows the use of a... hammer. Cool.

2 -A pistol attachment for sniper rifles. That coupled with the rumor that aim assist is going to be taking away from the snipers makes it sound like there's no more quick scoping.

3 -A perk that let's you feign death, yet somehow still sounds balanced

4 -A new "elite" version of perks, that combines two pro perks in order to have a sort of super perk for an added effect

5 -A game type that forces you to switch to the opposing team when you die.

1 - 3 is bullshit and there's no way it will happen.

4 could be legit, but probably isn't and would most likely be way OP if it did, at least until they nerfed them to the point where the elite perks are almost completely useless.

5 bullshit, at least the way that it's worded in that article

as for the other stuff in the article:

Game Modes:
Escort: probably not, but sounds like it would be fun, assuming that the escort player is in juggernaut armor

Split Spawn: no

Perks:
Deep Impact seems legit, but the damage bonuses are bullshit

Consciousness: maybe, but would probably be OP

all other perks: bullshit

Knife slot is bullshit, but I do think the ballistic knife will be making a return

Attachments:
Weapon Rack/ pistol: bullshit

Bayonette: maybe, but probably not since we haven't seen those since WaW

Laser: probably not

Perfected Ironsights: seems like it would be the Improved Ironsights you could get for pistols in BO1, so maybe

all other attatchments were in the first BO and will probably make it into the new one, though I really doubt that the grenade launcher will have greater grenade drop
