    • 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 it’s ability to detect enemies through most walls. Note, the scope can only be attached to primaries not including shotguns

    • Bots now have an advance AI system
    • Similar to the behavior seen in the MW3 Spec Ops survival

If this is real, It's a definite buy for me:
Treyarch does listen to their players a lot more than IW ever did. It took ages to patch the Extended Mags glitch, and I'm still getting killed by people running around with FMGs on MW3. I'm happy that Specialist is coming back, but it seems a bit confusing how it's said. Do you get 13 Perks (assuming you get have 3 total at start, 4 total @ 2nd Kill, 6 @ 4th Kill etc) or you get only one perk every 2 kills (which will give you 7). A bit annoyed about no MOABs though. That's one thing I still look forward to while playing MW3 :grumpy:

I do like the Appearance based on what you use. For example, you'd get a Ghillie Suit when using "Sniper Perks" (Blind Eye, Assassin, Marksman) and the Support Chain (if it'll be in COD9). Or if you used something like Extreme Conditioning, Assassin and Dead Silence would give you a "stealth" model (think of what Urban Black Ops looked like while using Ghost.

I really like the Black Ops designs over MW3's. Almost every map had a mixture of CQC, mid-range and long range and the spawn were well balanced. The emphasis on objectives will hopefully mean that game types like Domination and KC will stop becoming TDM's with a twist.

I'm hoping the COD Points and Wager Matches make a return, was a nice twist to the normal gameplay that FPSs gave you (especially Sticks and Stones :D)

I know this is just speculation, but it's the first big list leaked from anywhere and a COD 9 thread would've been created sooner or later...


 
Interesting list and great find.

I'm a massive Battlefield fan but my girlfriend loves zombies and if the MP is half decent I may just pick this up. I didn't mind Black Ops too much and wager matches were a ton of fun so if those return I may just pick this up.

6/11/12 rumoured is that November 6th or June 11th? I'm assuming Novemeber to stick with their usual release dates but that's just not how I write my dates usually.
 
Very interesting. Just read it too a friend, although he doesn't like the Sniper Rifle changes.

Remind me not to add him then :lol:. It's supposed to be a long range, high-power rifle, so why should you be able to run around shooting people from 3ft away? Most people I see on MW3 Quickscoping get KDs under 1, and most of their kills come from the overpowered Akimbo Machine Pistols.
Prime example was today. Some kid got the last kill, it happened to be a quickscope and he said over the VOIP, "Yeah! Quickscoping FTW!"
He went 9-21 or something.

I'm hoping that this means that people who enjoy QSing will stay on MW3 while people who try to play normally move onto COD9
 
The main thing I dislike about this is the new perk system which if I read correctly, only lets you have one of the pro options per perk per prestige which is annoying for someone like me who likes to stay on one prestige for a long time and can't try out the other pro options. Other than that it sounds like an alright game and I'll probably buy it.
 
I think that I'm finished with Call of Duty now. A new CoD game will have to be outstandingly good (like CoD4) before I buy it.
 
Needs revolvers, and not ones that are as round, bulky and retarded looking as a boulder.
And maybe there will be bigger maps this time, so you are less likely to get fingers in your butt every 2 minutes. Speaking of which, this will help stop the game from spawning people behind you, which made these track and field event games unplayable.
 
It appears to me that all of the COD games that I enjoy a little better is Treyarc's over Infinity Wards. That is a nice list of changes over BO1 or even MW3, and the no Quickscoping code, if it is stable, is a vast improvement in the game that was needed in MW2.
 
I myself am not that huge of a CoD fan, but it is certainly a game I have some fun on at times. As of now, Black Ops 2 sounds quite good, and possibly better then Black Ops 1. The new adjustments seem good (No more quickscoping, woop). I also somewhat like how the Combat Training automated intelligence is being improved. Thanks for the information, Daniel. Now I can look more into it. ;) I sure hope it will be good.. Like CoD 4.. :lol:


Last but not least, I hope it still includes Zombies and with the rumoured 'Zombie Paris'.
 
I quit buying COD after WAW. That was the last game of the series I truly enjoyed. Especially the 4 player co-op campaign with death cards. I cant stand IW and I dont even bother with their games. But I do give Treyarch a chance since they actually listen to the community. Hopefully they finally bring back a really fun 4 player co-op campaign. The mp for these games is just way too much of the same thing every single year. So I just cant justify buying these games. If they make one as fun as WAW then I might consider purchasing it. But for now, the COD series is only a rental and has only been a rental since WAW. Plus way to many cheaters, hackers, and exploits in the COD series.

I also wish they would include a TRUE matchmaking that matches players with other players of equal skill just like Halo. Only COD3 had a true matchmaking.
 
Yes yes, very good, but what exactly does it look like? If the HUD is the same as BO (as was MW3 to MW2) then I'm out. That part of MW3 rather killed it for me.
 
Will pass. Last Blacks Ops was so bad I can't be bothered. Will probably get around to picking up BF3 on my PC and leave MW3 on my PS3 to trolling and dgaf play style.

The Specialist bit seems to reward crap players more by giving them several more perks without needs to hit the 8 kill mark. Typical.
 
While some of it sounds interesting and some sounds stupid, I will be passing. I can't justify buying a CoD every year. I might borrow it from someone for the SP and might play some MP with it if there's no stupid online pass, but that's about it. Much more I'd rather buy down the road, plus stuff that's out I haven't even bought yet.
 
Black Ops was my favorite in the CoD series, so if Black Ops 2 does indeed exist, i'll be picking it up. I passed on Modern Warfare 3 anyways.
 
The best part of Black Ops was the ability to create your own logo that appears on your gun. It's great to see your gun w/logo in the final kill cam (except when some enemy has picked it up). I want that to return.

Where is everyone getting the idea its BO2?? It isn't confirmed its BO2, it could be Iron Wolf

BO 2 = Iron Wolf as far as I'm concerned. So far Activision nor Treyarc had made any confirmation on the title on the next CoD, and probably would not do so until E3 at the latest.

*Prediction time*: E3 they will announce that Microsoft will get an extension on that exclusivity deal (5 years+)
 
I'd be a bit pissed for the first while, but I'm used to it. Xbox essentially had a bit of glitches on the maps - so we get unglitchy versions of the maps.

The Gun logo was in MW3 once you hit a certain level.

I think that BO 2 is just a developmental codename, just like Iron Wolf. I personally think that both elements will eventually make it into the game, but I am in no hurry just to find out the title of the game since we have until November when the game actually comes out to find out.

@Daniel: I thought that too, but the PS3 versions of those maps also share a lot of those glitches as well. Activision does not put a lot of QA behind DLC.
