That looks like a pretty cool image...too bad they are trying to keeping it hush hush...last time black ops was coming out it wasn't as hush hush...ironic...

Long live the BLOPs 2 thread!

But god damn it took me a freaking age to do up that front page and now it's all gone!!!

Anyway new MP details leaked...

MP classes will work on a points system.

10 point allocation system replaces primary/secondary/grenades slot system
Guns, attachments, equipment, perks take up allocation points

for example you could have 2 primary weapons which would use most of your points and only have 1 perk.

Or No guns but lots of perks, so you could get a knife kill, steal a gun and make good on all the perks you choose.

New wager match variations.

Everyone starts with a machine pistol and 1 emp grenade, you have to disable and hack drones to get more kills, only way to get more emp grenades is to take them from another player.

I hope the point thing isn't true. Sounds kind of lame, like they are reinventing something just for the sake of adding something new. So far in the COD series MW3 has had my favorite class building system.

It's practicly confirmed. The details are embargoed so we won't see any sites running the story until after the embargo date. There was a MP party at E3 for jurnos.

Mavrick · 06-10-2012, 11:18 PM

The points system I think will be great. Example,

4 points = primary
2 points = secondary
3 points = 3 perks
1 point = flashbang/grenade

4 + 2 +3 + 1 = 10

which would be the classic set up

Or, maybe you could mix things up. Just have all perks and a knife and then just pick up a gun from a dead boddy.

Mavrick · 06-10-2012, 11:40 PM

Here you go. They explain the point system here at around the 14 min mark. It's an unedited podcast ,mp3 file. The Blackk Ops 2 part was edited out of the final version.

So. Black Ops 2 Zombies. Anyone excited for it, seeing as every post i made about it disappeared into the black hole known as Cygnus X1?

Looking forward to the Zombie content a lot. Serious debate amongst myself and friends whether Tank Dempsey are going to return after they blew up the earth at the 'end' of Moon. Team Treyarxh have said that Zombies is going to be thier most ambitious yet. So. Thoughts?

And yes i'm hacked off at the database loss on this site. Not doing a daily backup in my job at the university would mean that i would be given my marching orders and fired without question. The Gaming forums was where i posted the most.

I am very excited for it. The evolution of zombies has been something that helps continue to make COD a relevant game and stand out rather than JUST a shooter like most other games. This game has a lot of things going for it and zombies are one of them

Hahhhah! I read that in the voice lispy guy off Big Bang Theory!

And, here we have some more leaks! The all new re-designed HUD for Black Ops 2.

See this is what goes on behnd closed doors at E3! I want someone to leak something on PS4 and 720! I know they were behind closed doors too!

Oh! And you can now select a fire mode foryour gun! TreyArch are bringing it this year!

The multiplayer HUD above is from newer build of the game. The killstreaks we believe the icons represent are the C.L.A.W., FA-38, and Quadrotor a.k.a Charlene. Also, above the ammo count, you can clearly see a “select fire” option, which was set to burst. The top left text could be a new placement for the kill feed.

Last week, Treyarch’s David Vonderhaar teased that the User Interface ”team put together an MP HUD visual design. Clean with high readability/usability but maintains great looking art.” He continued “the boys [have] been working so hard to find the balance between beautiful and high usability.”

Here’s how the HUD used to look like in our analysis for the latest behind-the-scenes footage:

Another leaked image below suggests that the max level in Black Ops II’s progression seems to be level 55, at least at this stage of development. The max level in the original Black Ops is 50.

The images were released on IGN’s instagram, and were tweeted out by Treyarch’s Matt Scronce. The leaked images and the tweet have since been removed.

And to put everything together in one post.

Quote:

This was outed by Garnet Lee on this week’s Weekend Confirmed podcast, which was taken down and re-uploaded with the Black Ops II multiplayer discussion edited out. As I promised on the forums, I managed to get a hold of the original podcast from NeoGAF user, ace3skoot. Now having listened to the original version of the podcast, I can confirm what Garnet Lee spilled regarding his experience with Black Ops II multiplayer.

Recently, several publications were shown Black Ops II’s multiplayer at E3 2012 behind closed doors. Through that multiplayer session, the new HUD was also leaked, you can check it out through here. In terms of what stood out in the session, and here are the findings:

The Create-a-Class section in multiplayer received a major overhaul. Instead of having different slots for primary, secondary weapons and such, Black Ops II uses an overall point allocation system, where players receive ten points to spend on guns, attachments, perks, equipment and so on. Think Homefront or Counter-Strike in the vein of having a set amount of resources to use on your loadout.

This allows players to completely customize their character in multiplayer. It also goes in line with what Game Director David Vonderhaar teased in a recent behind the scenes video.

Vonderhaar explained, the multiplayer mode’s new “create a class is sweet” because it now enables you to “choose what’s the most important things to you, and forget about the things that are not important.” He went on to note, “This will open up doors for playstyles you have not seen. It’s going to be fantastic.”

For instance, you can pick two primary weapons with their attachments, but this leaves you with only one perk to choose, as primaries, obviously, take up more points than secondaries, grenades, or perks.

Another scenario is to jack up your loadout with perks, leaving you with only a knife in your arsenal so that when you pick up a gun, you’d be loaded for bear.

In addition, a new wager match type of mode was on display. A massive free-for-all mode, where players only have a machine pistol and an EMP grenade. Players have to hack drones (turrets and the like) in order to to get them to fight on your side. Players can get more EMP grenades by scavenging them from fallen enemies.

Probably here before the server decidedto take a huge dump!

I had the front page rammed with info and pics/videos all up to date!

I can still see it if I search the thread on Bing since they have it cached but cant copy paste it because there is a crap load of bb code making it look nice and it took me ages to get it all looking tidy and dont have the time or will power to start again

Think I saw it on reddit late last week coming out of E3 stuff.

I tried to figure out the google cache (as I read others were able to pull info) but I couldn't find it or find how to see google cache pages at all, trying to get back the lasts list of clan members, short over 20 now and a lot were not members here.

Yeah, it was something they mentioned in the first interviews when they announced the game, saying that it will be built within the MP engine and will have its own game modes just like regular MP

Was this the old list?
