Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 Multiplayer Set To Be A Game Changer

Ever since multiplayer was added to the Call of Duty franchise, each successive title has looked to push the envelope. Whether it’s a new game mode, new weapons, or the introduction of kill streaks, fans have come to expect a certain “wow” factor be added with new adaptation. With Call of Duty Black Ops II, it seems as though Treyarch in on target to do that once again.

With Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 multiplayer debuting at this year’s Gamescon, it’s not only giving folks a chance to get some “hands on” but also answering a lot of questions. It’s understandable that Treyarch wants to keep some element of surprise for when the title is released. However, they have still opted to share with us a massive amount of details on what we can expect to see.

Disclaimer – If you do not wish to see the list of details, you may want to stop here as the following could be considered potential spoilers!

For starters, a new “create-a-class” system has been implemented. Currently referred to by the development team as “Pick 10”, it is not only simple to understand, but offers players the widest range of options. The concept works on a ten point system where everything you pick, from your primary weapons to attachments to grenades, etc., each requires one point. Don’t want to use a secondary weapon? Now you don’t have to. You can spend that elsewhere, like on a second shock charge. The possibilities are endless and allows for complete customization!

Another interesting addition to Call of Duty: Black Ops II is the live stream feature. Yes, you read that correctly. If you’re like me, chances are you either know someone who already does live streaming or you do it yourself. Perhaps you are interested in showing off your skills but never really had the technical know-how or even the extra cash to spend on the required equipment to make it happen. With Black Ops II, it’s as simple as pushing a button! What’s more … you can even hook up that old USB cam if you have it and do a live picture-in-picture of you playing the game. Keep in mind that while the extra equipment is not needed, you will want to ensure you have enough bandwidth to keep up with the demands. And if you’re worried about cheaters, have no fear … the live feed runs on a 15 second delay so any potential intel thieves would be SOL.
