Well, they did it. They finally added cheats as killstreak rewards.

Well, on the other hand it has been pretty ridiculous since MW2 so nothing has changed really. I believed in Treyarch and wanted to buy this year's installment but it seems I'm skipping it just like I skipped MW3.

Leaked Black Ops 2 Multiplayer Information

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.

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".

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

Holy shit Escort sounds awesome. I told myself I would never buy another CoD but that mode can win me over instantly.

Dammit!

Sniper Rifles

Improved sniper rifle usage.
Less sway

Oh nevermind then.

Sounds ok. The wallhack is basically Perfect Dark's Farsight weapon as a point streak until you die. Pretty cool.

Don't think I'm interested in this year's COD though.

Bull. Shit.

Definitely not buying this game. Sniping is already way too much of a problem in most shooters.

Nice to see Combat Training getting more love this time around. :) It was so much fun to mess around with while relaxing and drinking some beers.

If this is true I will fucking buy this game.

MW3 was so fucking terrible and I said I would never be conned again but omg.

Please let that be true. I'VE BEEN WANTING NOOB TUBES TO BE BANNED SINCE COD4. PLEASE TREYARCH. DO IT.
 
I am ok with the wallhack streak to be honest... its been done in other games on a far more ridiculous manner and yet still fun. Red Faction comes to mind

Blacklight Tango also does it now that I think about it.

Being able to see through some walls doesnt sound much different than advanced UAV in my opinion. It isnt sure that it is realtime (could be a scanner of some sort) and it might be a high killstreak.

This is how they always get me.

Instead of releasing patches to fix issues with the game, they address all the issues in next year's installment. It's like they make the patches and Activision tells them "Wait, save this for the next game".
 

Stumpokapow

listen to the mad man
"No last stand"

That better not be just another "we're calling it something different" ruse...

The last CoD I played was CoD2. I played the first 3 levels of Modern Warfare in single player. I've never played a CoD game in multiplayer.

As far as I can tell, Last Stand is a setting you can toggle for your character at some point so if you are killed in multiplayer, you have a few extra seconds of life to use your pistol to shoot enemies (kind of like what happens when you're killed in Left 4 Dead). That doesn't seem offensive to me. Was it imbalanced?

I gather one of the Activision teams claimed they were going to remove it and then didn't remove it?

I will join you on the newb tube free battlefield. We will leave nothing but death and destruction in our wake. The blood and tears of racist 13 year olds shall bathe us in victory.

Frames of invincibilty completely ruined it, and turned it from pain in the arse to broken piece of shit

That is pretty much what Last Stand is indeed. For me it is usually not a big problem, but it can be annoying sometimes. It was moved to death streak in Modern Warfare 3 (so you have to die 4 or 5 times in a row without getting a kill to activate it) compared to having it for every life in MW2 and in Black Ops.

Yeah, that is the most annoying part, that the enemy is invincible for about a second when he falls down into last stand. He should be able to take damage even when falling down.

Huge problem, particularly online where milliseconds matter. The person who just lost the gun fight, but has last stand, gets a specified amount of time in which they cannot be killed while they enter the animation. Compound that with netcode, and you can shoot for what feels like a crazy amount of time without killing them, while they shoot and kill you.

...was the title written by someone who has never played COD? The minimap/UAV and thermal scopes already effectively act as wallhacks in previous entries and there have always been perks to counter it. Not only that but Treyarch's balance was tight as hell with the killstreak/perk set up.

Day 1. Hardcore was fucking perfection in Black Ops and these changes only make it better.
 
I used to love COD but at this point it's a joke. My favorite part is that multiple companies are making games and each one takes out and adds eachothers shit like it's a new feature.

Pretty much agree with this, will at least give them the benefit of the doubt until we actually see it. In hindsight Black Ops was a much better balanced and solid MP game than MW3, so I'll give them a chance, but if any sort of quickscoping is in fuck that. Wasn't that much of an issue in Black Ops, and getting "legitimately" sniped is annoying but whatever, but it's super annoying in MW3 again.

Played all COD games except MW3 and I still find this killstreal ridiculous. Might as well add aimbot since there is copious amount of autoaim already.

I didn't play Black Ops. How was hardcore search and destroy? (The only mode I play) And how was sniping in it?

I only had COD4 and WaW then I played a bit of MW2 and didn't like it but I impulse bought MW3 and found it to be really bad for me. The maps, sniping and hardcore mode being absolutely atrocious. How was Black Ops compared to it?

Maybe it's just me, but sniping didn't seem like a really viable option in Black Ops or MW3

In black ops it was actually really good. I hardly ever ran into a sniper playing that on 360. But just last night in mw3, my first time playing on PC and I spent the majority of the night getting sniped in ways that just shouldn't happen with a slow, powerful 1 shot gun.
 
Shamefully, I don't actually play CoD for the mp, but the sp. Blops had a good CoD single player and I hope they realized this and keep up the quality there.

These perk changes do sound annoying though. Though good news on the maps. I thought Blops had a decent sized maps, maybe what I would call big. Well big compared to MW3 at least. So thats an improvement.

Hardly anyone snipes in Black Ops in hardcore because pretty much any gun can kill in a single shot/burst. The netcode felt incredibly tight though so it never feels cheap. I rolled with TDM exclusively (I'm not a fan of S&D).
