One of the things I can confirm is the Face Paint option. There are 21 different choices that can be purchased, with the top thirteen being $500. They are the following:

Stalker
Crom
Highlander
Sidewinder
Martis
Millitia
Apache
Sandman
Zulu
Blitz
Commando
Tundra
Banshee

Offline MP with AI confirmed


Game Modes

Normal

  • Team Deathmatch (12 players)
  • Merc Team Deathmatch (No parties)
  • Free for All (8 players, no really large maps)
  • Domination (12 players)
  • Ground War (18 players, TDM and DOM, no super small maps)
  • Search & Destroy
  • Capture the Flag (12 players)

The ANTE UP (Free-for-all based, 6 players, low buy-in, parties allowed) category includes:

  • One in the Chamber
  • Sticks and Stones - tomahawk, knife, and crossbow only
  • Gun Game - You unlock a better gun with each kill...and lose a "level" with death instead of starting from the beginning

Wager Match-- gamble your COD points for a bigger pay day. Top 3 get the cash.

*SPOILER*

Purchasable guns.

Contracts - They look to be the replacement for challenges now. Contracts help you earn more CoD money throughout the game, but they do expire within a certain time-frame and in order to complete them in the future, it looks like you will have to buy them back.

Customize your weapon right down to the reticule
You can customize the color of the dot on your gun

Lots of camos

Wrong, MW2 sucked dick....and so will black ops...I don't get how there can be any kind of hype for this game...it does not look appealing in any way.


and to be honest why MW2 sucked so bad was all the new shit that wrecked it all, heart beat sensors, nukes, dangerclose noob tube combo...and much more.



Call of Duty 4 was the best one...When the only kill streak options were UAV, Airstrike, Helicopter it was fun and there was more skill involved in the game. 

Black ops will be a huge pile of shit

why all this custom sight stuff? and custom gun stuff?

Whats wrong with a standard red dot sight?

its just to much crap.




My theory is they add all of that shit to excite people while they slack on making the actual game.

LOL at elitists saying mw2 sucks because of stuff like nukes, and treyarch sucks. theyre all the fucking same and theyre all fun as fuck, if you cant have fun playing these games youre taking it too seriously!

that being said, the FPS market is really saturated right now, they do pump a lot of these games out and i still could probably have fun for another 3 years just playing halo, mw2, battlefield 43/bc2 and skate

It's the fucking SWAT gametype that is THE WORST because of it.

And while this is looking good Medal Of Honor is going to have the same type of multiplayer as Bad Company 2... definitely going to be picking that up first and then reading about this to see what some of the problems are.

Like, I understand putting in little gimmicks to try and sell the game (there was a thing for a long time that EA was gonna try and make it so you could play BC2 against people on other systems) and gimmicks like that I can get... they add to the game.

But this whole "3D Movie RELEASED ON DVD AND BLURAY AND GAMES HAVE IT TOO!" when most people STILL have yet to bought Hi-def TVs let alone Hi-def TVs that have 3D capabilities feels like it's just tacky and added on for the sake of adding things. (Kinda like MW2 with like... 13 different killstreaks)

Yeah, the game is HORRIBLE, although I admit it can be super fun at times when everybody isn't being a huge douchebag. But for the most part it's just frustrating. And I definitely do not suck at the game.

no.

i think MW2 sucked because they made it too fucking easy.  One time i was playing headquarters, i was 60 and 7  AT THE HALFWAY POINT.  literally i had 10 more minutes to play in that game (HQ is 20 min).

the perk system makes it way too NOOB-friendly,  Like in the original post, i read that the one "PRO" perk allows you to call for another care package? Oh wow.  i can see the kids camping in the corner of the map trying to get a gunship already...

sadly enough, i will buy it, and i will play it, because if you dont? your a faggot.

You only have the option to get a new one once. Like you get your care package, and call it in. Then you can either collect your shit, or have the option to randomize it again just once.

Barebones pro is definitely the best game mod,e tied with search and destroy. There's no campers trying to get their nukes and you don't have to shoot down the pesky overpowered choppers all game.
