I wonder if they're smart enough to give you more than 5 custom classes at the beginning so you can have an easier time trying out so many perks and weapon combinations.Perk unlock levels:

Call of Duty: Ghosts perk system explained, new perks listed

The amplify perk is not countered by dead silence. This means everyone will be camping the back of the map with marksman/assault rifles and there's nothing you can do about it because amplify lets them hear your footsteps from a mile away. You will never sneak up on them. Shotgun/SMG classes are irrelevant because of this perk.

I don't know if it's clear yet, but you don't need to wait till a certain level to unlock something. If you have enough squad points, you can get whatever you want.
For example, I'm level 7. I wanted Dead Silence so I could either wait till level 26 or use 6 squad points to unlock it early. I had the required SP so I bought it.
Footsteps are so loud, lol. That's why i bought Dead Silence..to see how much of a difference it makes.

This right here is what has destroyed modern AAA FPS game design for me. Until modern multiplayer FPS stop putting this stuff in, I highly doubt I can enjoy it.
It's like I want to play BF4 or CoD:Ghosts, but I doubt I'll enjoy because of issues like this...
*sigh*
One day maybe we'll get a pure FPS multiplayer shooter again

Nope I think its 3 max now per character,
you can unlock more characters with the regular points.
You can get up to 10 characters with 3 classes each.

I would love to see a new COD that doesn't have perks. Remember COD2? Yeah. Good times.

6 classes per soldier so 60 total. (I have the game)

Has it been confirmed that you can unlock 1 perk or 1 weapon with a prestige token or something of that nature?
And no, I'm not watching a goddamn tmartn video for information either.
I believe there are hardcore and barebones variants in Ghosts. Would be surprised if there weren't. Personally I prefer barebones. The lack of radar and small health in hardcore lends itself to a prominent supply of campers and motion detectors, and I rarely complain about campers. But it's BAD in hardcore.

Is it 6 from the start or 3 and unlock more?
Also if you don't mind me asking how does the character camo work?
is it per map and faction or are there options.

Unfortunately Infinity Ward never seems to keep the improvements Treyarch makes to the series with their games.
The Pick-10 system was absolute perfection, I hope that Treyarch's next game includes it.

3 from the start per soldier and then you purchase the next 3 with squad points. I think the 6th class costs 25 squad points and the first iirc was only 5 squad points.
And for customization, you press create a soldier and then X to customize appearance. It gives you the option to edit your head, all your different pieces of gear, your patch (emblem), and background. You pretty much just get one camo per soldier but you can edit it whenever you want. And almost everything is locked at the start until you start completing challenges to unlock different things for your appearance.
They have a similar thing but it's more like Pick 12. Primary Gun, Secondary Gun, Tactical, and Lethal are all 1 point and each perk has a point value assigned to it. You can only add up to 12 points. Additionally, if you use the specialist strike package, you can get 8 more points worth of perks when you get specialist bonus, on top of 6 more points of perks if you choose the higher end ones to lead up to your specialist bonus.

It's Call of Duty guys.
The balance comes from everything being unbalanced.
rangersfan414

It's a max level unlock and there is no "unlock gear" option when you prestige anymore. On top of that it's 5 points of your pick 12 gone on that perk and for many guns the extra damage won't even affect the bullets needed to kill.
Just think about how almost nobody uses ghost in Black Ops 2 because it's a max level unlock and you need to use an unlock token on it. Here, it's the same thing except there is no unlock token, so I expect it to be even rarer.

What about attachments and the like? I enjoyed how Treyarch did away with some perks by giving their ability to attachments (Stock = move faster when ADS).
Iw said there were unlocks from playing past COD. 4 out of 6 were revealed but what's the other two?
rangersfan414
Member
Attachments are just sights (there are around 5 different sights).
The next type of attachment is the barrel where there is silencer, the equivalent to "Range" proficiency from MW3, and under barrel shotgun (and maybe grenade launcher too).
The last attachements are mods to the weapon, such as extended mags. I can't remember others because I'm not currently looking at the game.
And each attachment has a squad point value to it. The squad point system is similar to the COD Point system, but you don't break the economy after level 10 and perks still follow the unlock system.
The unlocks are all just cosmetics. 3 awards from MW3 and 3 from Black Ops 2. The awards are "Play the game" "Prestige once in the game" and "Reach Max Prestige in the game" And you just get player backgrounds related to the prestige symbols in the previous game and the reward for just playing the games is the game logo.

Wouldn't Ocelot use Sleight of Hand? Well, no. He loves the excitement of reloading during a battle. Sleight of hand removes too much of that tension to fit the character.

So does dead silence counter the foot steps being heard?
This.
While Black Ops 2's system was interesting, having perks still in different categories was stupid given what Treyarch was (supposedly) trying to achieve; that is, more customization.
COD Ghosts is bringing a lot to the table, and it's offering a lot more stuff to mess around and have fun with. Looking back, I always end up putting all of Treyarch's games aside shortly after release, but IW games are always a blast to play even when they are at their lowest (ie: MW3).
Also, let's not forget the mess that was MW3's development. That game was made during the whole IW-Activision fiasco; they had to bring in help from other teams in order to get something made, because people were leaving the team left and right throughout actual development. Those are no conditions under which to make a great game, and even so, despite of all the copy&paste that is present in MW3, it's still quite a fun and balanced game.
Ghosts is the first time that the new IW team can show us what they are actually capable of. I have faith in them, and expect Ghosts to be a great addition to the series. At least I sure hope they put out a decent product, because despite of being a huge COD fan I already made the decision not to buy another Treyarch product ever again. BO2's horrid connection and hit-detection problems took care of that.
CoD is fun. Blame Epic for screwing up Unreal Tournament 3 and id for completely forgetting who they are.This right here is what has destroyed modern AAA FPS game design for me. Until modern multiplayer FPS stop putting this stuff in, I highly doubt I can enjoy it.

Besides, things come in waves so the old school style will come back at some point.
Oh, and PC has lots of stuff, but I don't know if you play on PC.

Pro tip for the GAF Community: Use the Remington R5 Assault Rifle. Amazing gun.
Disclaimer: I've only used three guns so far and just stopped trying new ones after I found this gun because it is that good.
Also, if anybody cares, secondary weapons are just handguns and launchers.

You get them from completing challenges, playing Extinction and Clan Wars.Decided to be that guy and get the riot shield:
I've always enjoyed playing with the shield even though it's never any good, lol. That + C4's = a good time.
The riot shield has 3 attachments:
Scrambler: Scramble enemy radar within range
Titanium Frame: Lightweight alloy frame allows for faster melee
Radar: Portable radar from the shield position
What sucks is you can't manually plant your shield.
I'm a Hardcore playlist person so I'll be spending most of my time in Hardcore Kill Confirmed...especially if I want to rank up the shield...and yes, the shield has camo as well.

My only problem with the new create a class system is that they switched alot of the weapon based stuff back to perks from attachments in BO2.
Will be annoying with all the new perks to waste a slot on something like steady aim(though at least BO2 got me out of the habit of using SA on every class)

I was a prestige master in BO2 but because I reset my stats, the background isn't unlocked for me, lol. If I knew that, I would have never reset.
So beware, even if you made it to prestige master and you reset your stats, the game will think you never reached it and it won't be unlocked.
Kinda stupid but whatever.
