I've heard another slant on this points system and it made it sound interesting. It means instead of waiting untill Lvl 70 to get an AK47 on each prestige, you can buy that straightaway when you've enough points. Or if Ninja is your favourite perk, buy that before anything else. It'll mean that you have to plan your purchases around your gamestyle. So if Rushing is your main thing, you'll buy the guns and perks to suit that. But this means if you are stuck on an enormous map with long sightlines, that you'll struggle against someone who's bought a Assault Rifle and appropriate perks for that. Equally, if you're a sniper, then you'll struggle on small maps initially as you'll not have good weapons and perks bought for them.
It makes it a lot more strategic I think. Instead of just rushing through levels unlocking stuff as you go, you'll have to think about what kind of stuff to buy to give you options in different game modes. But it means you can buy the Silencer first for every gun you use, if that's your thing.
Personally, I think it's a good idea.

If thats the way it works thn great, its an absolute pain in the bollocks not having cold blooded and stingers until level 30 on MW2, 30! thats nearly halfway to another prestige! and you have to spend every game leading up to that hiding like a bitch once a chopper comes in. Being able to buy your faourite perks early on is a much better idea, you're still levelling up but at your own pace, and probably quicker as you have the perks you're most comfortable with.0 -

Agreed.
I'm quite pleased to see Attack Dogs as a killstreak reward, I thought they had a brilliant effect in WaW at spreading a bit of panic (as a high-end killstreak should, imo) and it'll be interesting to see them incorporated into BO.

Only having played MW1 offline and MW2 online I have to say I am dissapointed in "dogs" as a killstreak, I mean really???? ... DOGS?
I want a freaking ac130 spooky or a b2 stealth bomber not mongrels knawing on someones crotch! MIght be effective just doesnt look as cool.
OR
Hmmmmmmm????0 -

I don't think it makes much difference now, as Commando is gone. So you can't do a MLC combo. The only bad perk is Last Stand again, which is a royal pain the hole when you run up against it.
And I'd say EVERY n00b will be using it just like martydom in cod4 . Although I shouldnt be saying anything , I just created a class a hour ago with juggernoob

Perks
Tier One
Lightweight - Move faster
Scavenger - Pick up ammo from fallen enemies
Ghost - Undetected by the Spy Plane and Blackbird
Flak Jacket - Reduces explosive damage
Hardline - Killstreaks require 1 less kill
Tier Two
Hardened - Bullets penetrate better (equivalent FMJ attachment in MW2/Deep Impact perk in CoD4)
Scout - Hold breath longer
Steady Aim - Increase hip-fire accuracy
Sleight of Hand - Faster reloads
Warlord - Equip two attachments to your primary weapon (equivalent of Bling perk in MW2)
Tier Three
Marathon - Longer sprint (NB, Marathon doesn't provide unlimited sprint)
Ninja - Silent movement
Second Chance - Pull out your pistol before dying
Hacker - Ability to detect enemy equipment and explosives (equivalent of Sit-Rep in MW2)
Tactical Mask - Reduce the effect of flash and concussion grenades
Couple of things on this listing.
Snipers look like having to choose between Holding breath for hardscoping, and sleight of hand for Quickscoping.
Tac Mask suggests that the effect of flash and concussion grenades will be stronger than in MW2??
Lastly, I wonder what the Pro perk will be on some of them. We can guess the ones from MW2 like Scavenger & Sleight of Hand, but what about...
Flak Jacket , Hardline (No Deathstreaks anymore so not sure about this...), Hardened, Tac Mask..0 -

I'd imagine you lose everying, but you're guess is as good as mine. I've only MW2 to go on. What happened when you prestiged in COD4/WAW??
COD4 & WAW were the same as MW2. It will be interesting to see how they do it now in BOPS. I saw various posts on this forum in the past, people were saying it would be a good idea if you could retain a weapon or perk etc, after going through prestige, so it may in fact be possible now. Let's wait and see.
All I know is I will be taking Tuesday 9th November off work

Is it just like a sentry gun that shoots down enemy air support?0 -

We do not know quick scoping will be possible as SoH is for reloading. I'm hoping for a no, just to make it interesting and balance the game.
Scavenger is slightly different. Scavenger will allow you to replenish ammo for your guns. Scav Pro will replenish lethal 'nades.
Warlord (Bling) should have a good new Pro upgrade. The MW2 upgrade would be defunct on launchers and pistols.
I am willing to bet Flak Jacket Pro will have one of the following: no falling damage, resistence to fire, MW2's danger close.

Oh and just thinking about recording gameplay. Just imagine the amount of vids/clips(most will be utter garbage) being dumped onto Youtube
No doubt many people will be posting vids every single hour if possible.
Already too many vids on Youtube as it is.0 -
