One of this year’s most highly anticipated games is Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, the ninth installment in the popular first person shooter franchise. This game will pick up where Treyarch’s original Black Ops title left off, and will come out on the 6th of November. That’s not all we know about Black Ops 2, though—after much anticipation and anxious waiting, we finally have some details to reveal about the gameplay itself. The information comes from a memo leaked by Activision—how accurate the information is, we’re not sure yet, but with so much detail, we’re pretty sure that these rumors have a strong basis in fact.
One of the highlights is a new game mode called “Escort.” In Escort mode, the goal is to escort a player (who only has one life) to one or two areas on a map safely. Escort mode will consist of three modes. The memo also states that the popular multiplayer modes Drop Zone and Kill Confirmed will be included in the next installment, but Team Defender and Infected modes will be dropped.
While the game modes are being updated, we won’t see a lot of change where pointstreaks are concerned. One thing which has been modified is the value of objective-based pointstreaks, which has been raised. The perks associated with the specialist package have been limited somewhat, but the overall perk system, now dubbed “perk system 2.0,” has received a major upgrade. Any one perk can now advance to 2 options, each of which can be unlocked through a different challenge. Once you’ve selected between the two Perk Pro options, you can only switch to the other Perk Pro option by entering prestige mode. As an example, the Speed perk drops the amount of time required to aim down the sight of your gun. The associated Perk Pro options include the ability to switch your weapons more quickly or throw equipment more quickly (i.e. grenades). The controversial “Last Stand” perk and all death streaks will be removed from the game.
Another example of a new pointstreak reward is the “Heat Scope.” The Heat Scope is a scope which can be attached to primary weapons not including shotguns, and which can detect the presence of players hiding behind walls. This feature was probably introduced in answer to typical player complaints about camping. Sniper rifles have also now been modified so that they are more challenging to fire using quickscoping. Player damage has also been changed. A bullet will do more realistic damage—a shot to the head or chest may kill a person, while a shot in the foot will only cause injury. A severely injured person will also bleed and continue to drop health points. If you bleed enough, you could die just from the injury. The MOAB and flame thrower will not be included in Black Ops 2.
A brand new feature called “Item Packages” has also been introduced. Item Packages will “fall alongside care packages and air drop traps.” Package items may include ammo, guns, and armor. Other changes discussed in the memo include prestiges and maps. Prestiges will return to Black Ops 2, but “there will be 15 prestiges, 50 ranks, every two prestiges there is a 5 rank increase, and the final prestige has 90 levels.” Furthermore, the Elite system which will keep track of the prestiges has received an upgrade and is now known as Elite 2.0. It’ll be easier to keep track of clan stats and host clan tournaments through the interface. Map textures on the new game will follow the model of the first Black Ops game, and not Modern Warfare 3.
We’ll also see a lot more customization of character appearances. Your character’s appearance will be modified not just by the first perk you choose, but all of the subsequent perks and pointstreaks. Characters will look much more unique. Bots are getting a boost too with “Combat System 2.0.” This system is based on the way the AIs behave in Modern Warfare 3’s Survival Mode, instead of on the bots used in the original Black Ops Combat System.
None of this is set in stone yet—and some of it may be mere rumor, but considering how comprehensive and detailed the info is, it’s probably accurate for the most part. Many changes could still take place between now and November 6th. Just from these rumors however, it seems like we’ve got a lot to look forward to!

Mi pequeño apunte para los que no quieren traducir la noticia, el modo Escort, se debe escoltar a un jugador que solo dispone de un intento por dos o tres zonas del mapeado haciendo la labor de guardespaldas y estara disponible en tres modos distintos.
Siguen en esta entrega drop zone y kill , desaparecen team defender y infected
El lanzallamas adios y alguna mas, se podran recoger packs de ayuda que se le caen a los personajes y el sistema de prestigio vuelve de esta forma : 15 prestigios, 50 grados, cada dos prestigios que hay un aumento del 5 rango, el prestigio y la última tiene 90 niveles.
