[Rumor] Black Ops 2: First multiplayer details, release date leaked?

[mankind]

Activision seemingly lends weight to rumours by closing threads on its official forums

This year's annual Call of Duty release is widely expected to be Treyarch's Black Ops 2, and while the game has yet to be officially announced, that hasn't stopped rumoured details making their way online.
The following information, claiming to reveal the game's release date and a load of multiplayer features, was first posted on the official Black Ops forums in a thread that was later taken down, and its cached version is unavailable. It was then reposted in another thread on Activision's forums, which was also killed off by the publisher, but its cache remains available (via MP1st). None of this information is confirmed, but there's no reason it couldn't be genuine as it all sounds feasible. Here's the lot:
Leaked Black Ops 2 Multiplayer Information

• This year, Call of Duty will return with it's ninth installment with Black Ops 2. As expected it will be following Treyarch's previous game Black Ops. It's release date is set for the 6th of November.

Game Modes

• Escort, a new game mode similar to Search and Destroy however a live player must be escorted to one of three areas (or two depending on the map) without being killed. The match will have rounds, consisting of one life only.
• Drop Zone and Kill Confirmed will return
• Team Defender and Infected will not return

Pointstreaks

• Will follow from Modern Warfare 3's system
• Larger emphasis on objectives
• A bomb plant is worth 2 points
• A neutral flag is worth 1, however an enemy flag is worth 2
• flag assist capture is worth 1, a capture is worth 2

• 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
• Item Packages requires 5 points. Fall along side care packages and air drop traps. Features a list of package items only including ammo, mini gun, grenade launcher, rocket launcher, and body armor

Prestiges

• No flame thrower attachment

Map Design

• Map design and size will be following Black Ops not Modern Warfare 3

Sniper Rifles

• Improved sniper rifle usage.
• No aim assist for any sniper rifle.
• Less sway

Customization

• No longer just perk 1 chooses the players appearance
• Appearance is a combination of all perks and type of Pointstreak being used.

Hardcore

• Larger emphasis on hardcore than ever before
• No grenade launchers
• Only vehicle guided rocket launchers permitted
• Respawn timings decreased (for most modes)
• 1 bullet in the foot will no longer kill a person, a head or chest shot is usually required.
• A person will now bleed out if severely injured.

Perk System 2.0

• The Perk Pro system has been upgraded
• 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".
• Once selected, the only way to choose the other option is by entering prestige mode.
• 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

Combat Training

• Will be returning with vast improvements.
• Difficulty is no longer based on how long the bots take to start shooting.
• Bots now have an advance AI system
• Similar to the behavior seen in the MW3 Spec Ops survival

Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg has said of this year's Call of Duty: "This year we expect to further expand our presence with the launch of an all-new epic first-person shooter title under the Call of Duty brand. From what we've seen to date, the game already looks fantastic and will bring meaningful innovations to the franchise."

Only interested in Wager Matches.

[Kuro]

if true i like these ideas looking forward to black ops 2

[DC_WRITER]

I'll be skipping this. Wasn't impressed with last years effort

[podsaurus]

Its nice if you can branch out a little with the perks. Mad there no flamethrower attachment. What else am I suppose to rage with now! :P I also want wager matches.

[LfCpS3]

Hope they bring back the cash system and let us unlock the gun we want.

I highly doubt they wont bring back death streaks I think alot of these things are wishful thinking by a group of fans, and the only reason activision dropped them from their forums is they didnt want false rumours spreading around

[Danieljay]

i hope they make the versions equal this year as long as PS3 version has smooth framerate i dont care about anything else

[DarkVincent07]

Interesting. The only thing thats gonna make me buy the game is if the story is any good, I want some info on that. I actually really enjoyed the Black Ops story so a direct sequel would be cool

Um Black Ops didn't have Deathstreaks and it came out after MW2 which had them. They are rubbish anyway, so I think it is a given that Treyarch still won't be using them.

Lol at "leaked release date". They've been coming out on the same day for about 5 years now. Something like the first full week in November, always on a Tuesday. THE SECRET IS OUT!!!!!!

Friday in the UK

COD comes out day and date with American in the UK, I went with my friend to the midnight launch for MW3.

From the sounds of this, which I was hoping for, Treyarch is distancing their game from the MW series. They make a similar product but they are very much different. I'm in the minority that can't stand MW games but loved BOs. Personally cannot wait for this game. Bring it on Treyarch! I really hope wager matches will be back though. Sticks N' Stones ftw.

[Dave-The-Rave]

Gun Game is my favorite..though I am more interested to see if they create some new modes for it too.

[jj03]

hope they keep sticks n stones...i love that game..

[Danieljay]

needs an install option
