Black Ops 2 multiplayer: New create-a-class model is ‘empowering’ – Treyarch

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 multiplayer delivers a brand new create-a-class and Score Streak system that is geared towards empowering players. Treyarch has told VG247 that it doesn't want you to play by its rules any more, saying that there is no need for rigid class systems any more.

I loved it when you could mix and match classes in Killzone 2, they were stupid for removing that.

You could build your soldier in MAG as well.

More games should do that.

I miss MAG...

MAG is awesome, I'm hoping that Dust 514 learned a lot from MAG and will start where MAG left off (esp 256+ players).

A decent amount of people are still on it though, and you can still get games on every type of mode, but it just takes a little longer at some times of the day.

it's just going to make douchebags even douchier...

Now People who like stabbing are gonna run around with 6 Perks. *rage*

[Cerberus29]

That's the first thing that came to my mind too.

"brand new"
Maybe a good few years ago.. Now you're just playing catch-up, dudes.

I actually applaud treyarch for trying something new (at least new for COD).

That being said, I think this new "pick 10" system is a baaaaad idea. COD already had balance issues, and this new system is just gonna multiply those problems tenfold.

Have you played the game yet? If so, why not slap a review score on that post while you're at it...

Treyarch did a great job at balancing Black Ops. Sure, it wasn't perfect (AK74u, Spas 12 supressed, Famas & Second Chance), but it was far better than what IW did with the balance in COD4, MW2 and MW3.

BO isn't better than all MW games.

MW > MW2 > BO > MW3

MW2 has some fucked up perks but "Hit Detection" makes it superior to BO.

@HCG
Well that's just like, your opinion, man.
