Activision Community: Level Progression

As we in the final stages of working out our level and unlock progression and I wanted to share with you an update on where we are.
*
This post, like my Dead Silence vs Awarness thread, is to get you educated, set your expectations, while taking constructive feedback. Please keep your replies on topic and clean. This thread will be heavily moderated.
*
Black Ops 2 has 55 levels in it. The total amount of XP is very similar to the amount needed to prestige in World at War and Modern Warfare 1. I'd say it's easier to level up, because you earn more XP than ever before with our Medals, Challenges we make available to you, as well as the leveling up guns themselves which grant bonus XP.
*
You unlock Create a Class at level 4, just like our last game. You get 1 unlock token every time you level up. So at level 4, you have 4 tokens.
*
At level 4, we give you about a dozen things you can equip "for free." This means you don't have to spend an unlock token on them. It's effectivelly one item from each category.
*
1 Assault Rifle
1 SMG
1 LMG
1 Shotgun
1 Sniper Rifle
1 Perk from each of the 3 perk categories
1 lethal grenade
1 tactical grenade/equipment
*
We also give you about a dozen things you can spend your unlock tokens on. 1 item from each category, plus you can unlock a Wildcard with an unlock token.
*
You get a perk at level 5. You get equipment at level 6.
*
At level 7 we unlock Scorestreaks. You get 3 for free and 3 you can optionally spend unlock tokens on.
*
At level 8 we give you a Perk. At level 9 we give you new Scorestreak.
*
At level 10, we start to settle into a pattern. Their are exceptions, but the pattern is generally like this. At every major rank change, which is every 3 levels, we give you a gun and usually "something else" as a bonus for reaching a major rank change.
*
In general, it goes like this.
*
Level 10 - Weapon + Something Else
Level 11 - Equipment (either lethal or tatical).
Level 12 - Scorestreak
*
This pattern then repeats through all 55 levels with some minor statstical variations or bonuses when they make sense and because they math can't be perfect.
*
I'll take feedback about where you feel any piece of equipment should be in the progression, but please provide a logical (non-emotional) reason for that.
We will do at least one more pass before we finalize this progression systems so I'll take inputs.
*

2 games in a row now that treyarch straight shytted on the previous IW game

They discuss zombies yet?

There hasn't been an official reveal for BO2 Zombies, the only thing known as of right now is:

Black ops 2 zombies had been confirmed by Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia. “If you like zombies you’re going to be really happy with what we’re doing with Black Ops 2″ Mark Lamia said and he added “it is the biggest most ambitious zombies ever”. Black ops 2 zombies mode will be another game entirely. This year the nazi zombies are going mad and want to have fresh soldiers slices.

Mark Lamia later said that Zombies is part of the multiplayer engine and it will be a full featured game mode with multiple game modes and no longer a many game, and he added that there will be twice as many co-op players which means that it will be doubled from 4 to 8 players.

Black ops II zombies is considered one of the most attracting parts of the black ops 2 game and Treyarch will do their best to develop this part as it is one of their fans and their favorite part. Although the last part of the zombies franchise was not too good compared to the first one but this year there will be a lot of blood and more exciting, the black ops 2 zombies will gonna rock this year.

Update: Official call of duty site has posted an image related to zombies which contains a woman carrying a shotgun and holding a zombie head in her hand.

Confirmed Info about Black ops 2 zombies:
- 8 player Co-op and 4 Vs 4 Team matches.
- Maps will be bigger.
- There will be female characters.


just wondering, to anyone who copped that Elite shyt, was it worth it?

When I bought MW3 i bought the Hardened Edition which came with Elite for 1 year for free ($49.99/year normally). Elite is cool if you have a clan and play that shyt ALL the time. Your clan can earn custom tags, emblems and icons. I think with elite you're eligible to win prizes if you complete certain objectives that they put up on the Elite website. I may have missed some things but, if ANY of that appeals to you, then yea i guess it's worth it. It keeps detailed stats of for EVERYTHING (hot spots, traffic patterns, choke points, K/D W/L, gun stats, all that shyt) Also, if you have Elite you get DLC before anyone else (PS3 still has to wait a whole month after :snoop:) That's the only benefit i see personally.

I thought elite was ass with MW3, It worked better in beta form in the first black ops


This game will probably be my favorite COD, pushing black ops from 2nd to 3rd place

Man I wonder if Doritos and Mountain Dew are going to do that double xp promotion again. I remember standing in stores taking pics of those codes. I know I made a lot of people mad last year when their codes were useless.
