Up to 8 players confirmed.

Treyarch studio head, Mark Lamia unveils the future of Black Ops 2 Zombies.

For all you zombie fans out there, don’t worry Treyarch has been listening to you all and understand that you want more zombies in the game. Treyarch’s Mark Lamia has revealed that Zombies have now been placed inside their multiplayer engine. According to Mark, this allowed them to craft new “worlds”, create “new game modes” and have a “bigger world.” Expect there to be twice as many zombies and twice as many players. After all, Lamia recently stated that Black Ops 2 Zombies mode is the studios “biggest, most-ambitious zombies ever.”

“There are actually new modes,” Lamia told Playstation Magazine. “There’s classic mode that you guys are used to but there are going to be new modes. [Twice as many co-op players] introduces some interesting new gameplay modes. Perhaps you can think of some team game modes where there might be fun to be had?”

Here official perks list, not the fake leaked one before that came in June, i think these were put together by people who played at gamescon, no perks that affect gun stats were introduced (Hardened, sleight of hand, steady aim all removed).

Perks Here is the latest Black Ops 2 Perks list. This information has come directly from those who had the chance to play the multiplayer at Gamescom. It is completely legitimate and it is one of the most accurate lists you'll find online: Firstly, it's extremely important to note that that will NOT be any Pro perks in Black Ops 2. Instead, they'll be going with an new type of class system that allows you fill up 10 out of 20 slots. Perk Tier One Flak Jacket Flak Jacket is a perk that allows the player to receive less damage from explosives such as hand grenades and bouncing bettys. This one appeared in the previous Black Ops game. Ghost Ghost is back, much to everyone's horror... The good news? It's not nearly as powerful this time around. Ghost will only make you invisible to UAVs... IF you are MOVING. i.e. if you sit in a corner, Ghost isn't going to stop you from showing up on the enemy radar. No more stealth camping for you, champ! Blind Eye Blind Eye is another one than has appeared before. This will make you invisible to AI-controlled killstreaks. You'll still be visible to player-controlled killstreaks, if their eyesight is good enough. Lightweight Lightweight allows you to take no falling damage. It also allows you to move faster / run quicker. Although, it's worth noting that Lightweight has only a small effect. You're much better off using Extreme Conditioning with an SMG or a Shotgun. Hardline These are all starting to sound familiar, huh? Hardline makes it easier for you to get your killstreaks by making every killstreak achievable with one less kill. Perk Tier Two Scavenger Scavenger is a perk that allows you to pick up ammo and grenades from fallen foes. When using Scavenger, small bags of ammunition will appear beside the dead bodies of enemy players. Hard-Wired Hard-Wired is a new one. It kind of works like Assassin Pro, in the sense that it makes you immune to the Counter UAV and Enemy EMPs. Counter UAVs block your radar and EMPs take down all enemy electronics (including your radar). Toughness Another new one. This allows you to flinch less whenever you get shot. This works like the Focus proficiency found in MW3. In case you didn't already know, taking damage in COD will cause your aim to go off target. Toughness will lessen the effect of it and allow you to finish off your opponent. Cold Blooded Looks like all of the stealth perks are being broken up into 3 pieces in order to prevent them from becoming too overpowered. This one makes you immune to Target Finders, Player-controlled killstreaks and Sensor Grenades. In some of the footage, you'll see that certain futuristic scopes put a red box around enemy players. Cold Blooded will get rid of this effect. Fast Hands Fast Hands allows you to use your equipment much more quickly (stun grenades and flash grenades). This works like Quickdraw Pro in MW3. In Black Ops 2, it'll also allow you to safely throw back a frag grenade. Perk Tier Three Engineer Engineer works like Sitrep or Hacker. It will allow the player to see enemy equipment through walls etc (it highlights them in red). It'll also make it possible for the player to booby trap care packages (so that they blow up when enemy players try to capture them) and re-roll care packages to get higher killstreaks. Extreme Conditioning Extreme Conditioning gives the player the ability to sprint for much longer distances. This is similar to Marathon, which featured in the previous Treyarch game (it also featured in MW3). Dead Silence Dead Silence is similar to Ninja, which has been in many of the previous Call of Duty games. This makes your footsteps silent. Extremely important for game modes such as Search and Destroy, where sound whoring is extremely common. Dexterity Dexterity is also a new one. This works like Marathon Pro from MW2. It will allow you to climb over obstacles and climb up ladders at a much faster rate. It'll also give you the benefit of being able to recover from a melee attack (i.e. a knife attack). Ever knife the air by mistake, only for your character to be stuck in that lengthy animation? Dexterity will allow you to recover from that animation at a faster rate. Tactical Mask Tactical Mask reduces the effect of stun grenades, flash grenades and and shock charges. Extremely useful, especially in games such as Dom, where enemy players will toss everything they have at B flag. Awareness The Awareness perk in Black Ops 2 will act like Sitrep Pro in the sense that it will allow the player to hear enemy footsteps much more loudly and much more clearly. Not sure if this will actually counteract Dead Silence or not.

MP gameplay video from gamescon.



EDIT: OOps double post.

"CODBLOPS II has a completely overhauled equipment system, based upon a series of board games developed by Treyarch staff. In essence, it allows players to easily create a completely custom class, which, the developers say, doesn't ever interfere with the balance of the game. Every player is allocated 10 points, which they can spend on various slots. The difference in player levels dictates what equipment they have access to: weapons, attachments, grenades, and different skills etc. And you're not forced to take something from a category--how you equip your character is entirely up to you. Notably, all weapon modifications are made here now; there are no longer any weapon-mod perks. Also notable are Wildcards, which you can equip by using up one of your points, but enable neat tricks like equipping three attachments to your weapon, rather than the default two."

If I can carry 10 smoke grenades into battle, then I'll buy it.

Pretty cool this idea was neatly lifted off the Call Of Duty forums, someone suggested on the MW3 and Black Ops boards some time ago, it was a popular topic.

Got to hand it to treyarch because black ops' perks were actually somewhat balanced and this seems like the same way. Don't see warlord/bling in that perk list wich is a damn shame though.

Weapon proficiencies aren't making a return wich might actually save the game from sinking to MW3's level.

Looks like it won't really matter since...

Exactly. There wont be a penalty for using two attachments. People can equip two attachments and still get 3 perks.

Still though, it looks good. Treyarch > IW.

The campagin is what im really looking forward than online multiplayer and honestly? I think this game is indeed the best in the series in my opinion.

Actually, I really enjoyed the Modern Warfare storyline. Sure the campaign may have not been as polished, long and spectacular than other shooters but MW campaigns did offer a kind of a war movie blockbuster experience. I enjoyed the sh*t Soap and Price got into. It's short with some gripping moments along the way. Come to think of it, I rarely touched the multiplayer of MW3, played the sh*t outta the campaign though.

I would usually be on the CoD hate train but things are looking different. At least on the multiplayer side, it would interesting to see the change of gameplay with all the new features and such. Campaign otherwise looks generic as hell. I'm still seeing the same old graphics from five years ago, they really need to prep up a new engine.

Saw that Singapore is included in the game, that looks nothing like my country at all!

But that takes effort. I doubt it will happen

[Jake]

I'm sure when they release on new consoles it will be on a new engine. At least they're mixing it up in CoD when people were bitching. They could have done the same formula and still broke record sales. So that they are at least willing to break the mold a little is a step in the right direction. I'm looking forward to this new mix a lot. The ten point system leaves a lot of room for combinations and unique play styles. There will be a lot more kill streaks, or point streaks, because of the stacking. But I don't care man, it will make it all the more hectic and hilarious.

[tms_junk]

Not sure if this will go down well as so many seem to be hating on the game, but basically clans have been confirmed for Black Ops 2 just like in MW3. I think clans was one of the only good things about having an elite account.

Apparently there will be in game clan lobbies, but im not sure if that's just rumor. Anyway if any of you are getting this and want to join a clan, im starting my own now in preparation for it. Its for the 360 and called "WeAintAlot" your more then welcome to join if you want!

CLAN SITE.

Just apply on there if your interested in joining and having some fun!

[Coral_City]

Remember when Call of Duty actually had a storyline and decent SP missions? Captain Price, Captain Foley, Sergeant Waters? Man...
