Black Ops 2 (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=259129)

The new Create-A-Class system in Black Ops 2 explained by Vonderhaar himself...

Quote:

You know the saying “well, it looks good on paper”? With Black Ops II, it’s no exaggeration. To redesign the create-a-class system, “we made several board games,” reveals Vonderhaar. “I will never, ever design videogames again without going through this process, because we learned so much.”

The result of using board-game mechanics is an all-new create-a-class system, known colloquially on the team as “Pick 10,” though that name likely isn’t final or official. It’s refreshingly simple: Every weapon, attachment, or perk counts costs one of ten point, and all your options are laid out on a grid. For instance, a primary AN-94 assault rifle with a reflex sight, a Raging Judge pistol (which shoots shotgun shells!) as a secondary, three perks, a Semtex grenade, and a tactical Shock Charge – that’s eight elements, so that’s eight points. You still have two to spend.

But here’s where it gets really interesting: If you’re the kind of gamer who never uses your secondary, you don’t need to pick one. Remove it altogether, and use that point somewhere else. And what if you don’t want to use anything from the Perk 3 pool, but two of your favorites are in Perk 1? You can now do that – pay a point to buy a “wildcard” called Perk 1 Greed. Now you’re able to choose two Perk 1s, for the price of no Perk 3 plus one additional point for bending the rules. Other wildcards let you take second primary weapon or a third weapon attachment, but work on the same principle: To get something extra, you have to pay extra. This opens up a lot more freedom; you don’t have to take one of everything on the grid. Your class is truly personalized to your particular play style and preferences.

What’s more, “In Black Ops II, there are no perks that modify a gun,” says Vonderhaar. Slight of Hand, for instance, is no more, but there’s a Perk called Fast Hands which lets you swap weapons faster, and a weapon attachment called Fast Mag that handles faster reloads – and it’s specific to only that weapon. This should minimize the weapon-balancing nightmares that often frustrate fans and designers alike; an overpowered weapon can be tweaked and tuned as its own entity without worrying about how larger systems affect it.

WOW!!!!!!! They are actually trying to fix Ghost in this game! Ghost players can no longer camp in corners during a UAV, if they don't want to be seen by a UAV, they have to move!

Quote:

Perks in general should be easier to weigh and measure. “We’ve grossly simplified the perks,” says Vonderhaar. “Perks shouldn’t be absolute.” For instance, Ghost no longer protects you from all UAVs; “if it’s absolute, I can’t tune it,” argues Vonderhaar. Instead, Ghost keeps you invisible while on the move; a separate perk, Hard Wired, makes you immune to Counter UAV. A third perk, Cold Blooded, removes the benefits of an enemy’s Target Finder sight and some sniper scopes. Vonderhaar summarizes it all in a straightforward manner: “Perks only impact you, they don’t impact your gun, and they can be tuned.”

Why would players using Ghost camp in a corner during a UAV? Am I wrong, or doesn't Ghost make you not show up on the mini map during a UAV?

Yeah Ghost keeps you off the radar during UAV but a lot of Ghost people still camp corners when the other team has a UAV up.

I better still be able to camp my corners damnit

Ahhh, I see now. They camp the corner because the other guys are rushing more with the UAV up....which means they just let the guy run by and shoot him.

And it's because they suck going head to head and would rather camp.

going head to head with someone is 99% connection, not skill. At least it is in MW3. I never camped in COD4 and gun skill would win out most of the time.
