Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Anyone else liking this new perk thing? Trading guns/attachments for extra perks or vice versa. Will make for more interesting and diverse classes anyway
yea i think its great, makes the game more interesting and hopefully there will be a variety of good setups, unlike mw3 with just the mp7 and ACR that dominate, also i heard that the Blackbird is coming back

Found this timeline breakdown of the vid -0:10 - New HUD, far more polished look and design. Class set-up selection appears during gameplay, may integrate create-a-class mid-gameplay.
0:11 - Some sort of EMP/Electrical Semtex/Sticky grenade, that appears to stun/prevent the enemy from moving when hit. Small area-of-effect, as the object does not directly impact one player but still has an effect on them.
0:22 - New 'box-type' RDS and some sort of equipment/killstreak that uses a pulse to detect enemies through objects and walls - potentially a new portable radar. Enemy appears highlighted in white before he turns the corner.
0:26 - A quick look at the return of dive-to-prone shows that the motions and movement may be more fluid this time around.
0:28 - The kill-icon for the weapon looks very similar to the F2000.
0:31 - Gun pick-up icon reveals a weapon called M8A1 with a Reflex sight.
0:33 - Character appears to change the zoom level on his optical sight, and indicator in bottom-right names the sight as 'Hybrid Optic'. Appear to be Red Dot Sight and ACOG levels of zoom, and the player swaps between them very quickly. Similar sort of effect to Modern Warfare 3's HAMR scopes.
0:34 - Bloodthirsty 'accolade' appears to show, alongside earlier 'Revenge', that accolades will be making a definitive return. May also be simple in-game awards that grant more XP, similarly to Double/Triple kills, rather than accolades.
0:40 - 15th Prestige icon from original Black Ops game can be found in Black Ops 2 when an enemy dies. Some players have suggested this may be the top prestige (unconfirmed). It is also very possible the prestige icon may be a placeholder until the game actually releases.
0:42 - New equipment/killstreak placed that suppresses opponent is simply named 'turret' when placed, but appears to be called 'Guardian' due to 'Guardian Suppress' tag-line that appears when the player kills enemies.
0:45 - Quad-rotor seen in previous trailer makes its appearance in Multiplayer, named 'Dragonfire'. When destroyed somewhat easily by the player, the player seems to earn a unique accolade called 'Flyswatter'.
0:57 - New anti-air launcher seems to show a futuristic version of the Stinger/Strela, which the player uses to destroy another Dragonfire, which appears to have no flares unlike its Recon Drone counterpart in Modern Warfare 3. Anti-air launcher revealed to be the FHJ-18 AA.
1:00 - The character is using an AN-94, which is labelled 'Customised' in the bottom-right hand corner, partially suggesting that guns can be customised past simple attachments. May also be a placeholder name for a weapon with two attachments similarly to the Bling/Warlord effect. Bottom-left hand corner also reveals that the game now tells you exactly how much score you need to win a particular game-type.
1:03 - Riot Shields that seem to be capable of being carried and placed are revealed, do not appear to be a killstreak although may be a particular map/class feature, or equipment. The riot shield seems to highlight enemies with a red box when shot through.
1:07 - Announcer states 'Hostile A.G.R' in-bound, at which point an air-drop drone similar to the Assault Drone appears on the battlefield. Player controls it similarly to the Assault Drone also, and the character receives what appears to be a unique award called 'Crackdown'.
1:17 - Character uses a magnum that appears very similar in sound and appearance to both the Python from Black Ops and the MP412 from Modern Warfare 3. Forum members have speculated it to be the 'Raging Judge' revolver.
1:21 - 1:24 - Knives appear to be equipment rather than being available to players by default and therefore must be equipped before they can be used. The equipment knife has simply been named 'Combat Knife'. Tomahawks also make their triumphant return, albeit in a much more modernised fashion.
1:25 - Attack Dogs can be seen as a returning killstreak in the killstreak selection section in the bottom-right hand corner. Possible Advanced UAV/Stealth Bomber icon also hints at a return.
1:26 - 1:32 - Two sniper rifles appear, the first of which looks very similar to the AS-50 from Modern Warfare 3 (revealed to be the DSR-50 sniper rifle). The second, looking a lot like the M14 but with a bolt-action frame, shows that sniper rifles can be used without optics attached to them, something which hasn't been possible since World at War (sniper revealed to be the Ballista bolt-action, which is confirmed to be available with iron sights).
1:35 - An interesting and strange hand-held device appears to be reloaded. Some sort of explosive device?
1:37 - What appears to be a single-shot shotgun/assault rifle makes quick work of two soldiers, while a device similar to C4 takes care of a third in a second-story room. The player who gets killed by the C4 appears to be using a grenade launcher of some description. C4 has been discovered to contain 'Toxic Gas', hinting at the possibility of different kinds of C4 being available.
1:47 - Some sort of kamikaze jet impacts a soldier directly, instantly killing him.
1:58 onwards - Multi-team Team Deathmatch is announced, revealing that games of TDM will feature more than just two groups of players battling against each-other. It is also revealed that an 'eSports' section is included, with a spectator-only mode. This may suggest an 'announcer-only' slot which allows another player to record play-by-play counts of the action as it happens via an over-view/free-cam view, revealing the possibility of professional recording and sound-dubbing while a match is actually taking place.
And some other info/additions to the above -The map featuring the large windmill is called 'Turbine'.
At 0:39, a player calls in an 'Escort Drone'.
Forum moderator Jayson Vorhees has also compiled a list of all the weapons that can be found within the trailer, found below:
Raging Judge revolver. Can shoot 28 gauge shotguns shells.
M8A1 assault rifle, 32 round capacity
PDW-57 MMS (possibly a 5.7 round PDW, like the P90, 50 round capacity. Possibly the AR-57 or based on it)
LSAT(Light Small Arms Technology) - a prototype LMG that fires caseless ammunition (Like the G11) Caseless ammunition means this LMG can be a great improvement in weight compared to traditional LMGs.
Chicon CQB (PDW, 36 round capacity?)
FHJ-18 AA (Stinger-type weapon seen at 0:57)
AN-94 assault rifle
DSR-50 sniper rifle (.50 BMG)
Ballista bolt action sniper rifle, irons sights available.
M1216 fully automatic shotgun.
Vahn revealed on Twitter that players may begin 'unranked' and have to play 'placement' matches before they can begin to rank up, hinting at a new level-up system that may introduce a beginner's game-mode similar to Boot Camp in World at War.
Possibility of different firing rates, similarly to Battlefield 3 where players can switch at their leisure. (may also be an attachment or choice thats made before the match in Create-a-Class)
The map that appears to mainly be destroyed at 1:25 which also contains the sniper rifles is called 'Aftermath'.
At 1:37 - 1:38, the shotgun appears to have a laser sight attached. Whether this will have any use is yet to be discovered.
At 0:29, after the player dolphin-dives, face paint/camo can be seen on his face. It is unclear whether this will be a default appearance for a certain team within the game, or face paint will be making a return for players to customise their character further.
Above can be found here with lots of screenshots at the end too.
Right now, I'm not sure what to make of it, once the spawns aren't an issue and it runs smooth, I think it'll work. Only time will tell!0 -

I'm hopeful, as someone mentioned already it's only 50 quid anyways . I bought bf3 recently and have only played it for three or so hours. Blops was unreal bar ghost and second chance.
Blackbirds should be an 10 killstreak at least. They can turn games on their heads 0 -

I'd say a third if even that
SR71's should be 12 kilstreak minimum, I'd go as far as to make it a 15 killstreak but some might consider that a bit much.0 -

That's what it is. A sound board that focuses sound and hurts. It wasn't heat or pain being sent, though I suppose it could be a microwave weapon that wouldn't work as fast as directed sound devices.0 -

Just thought I'd let people know, a lot of people on the interwebs are now thinking that the gun sight that lets you see through walls is a pointstreak rather than an attachment you unlock.
Another thing I'm really happy about too is that there is supposedly no aim assist on sniper rifles. Should get rid of the majority of quickscopers after they learn thats what was getting them the kills
And, full MP reveal on Wednesday at Gamescom.

Video description: Ballista with ironsights and lasersight for better hipfire. Perks - Ghost, Cold Blooded and Dead Silence. Secondary (not shown here) the Tac-45. Killstreaks acquired are UAV and Care Package. This was my first game of the night so my aim was off. Next three videos will blow your mind! Just played with the Mp7 for about 30 seconds. It feels very much like the one in MW3. The Ballista is just amazing. Cod2 feeling allover!

My one dislike is the gun sounds like everybody else.
Whoever did the sounds on World at War should do it for this, they did an absolutely amazing job with sounds on that game.
I really really like the feature that lets you livestream straight from your console without any extra hardware.
I doubt that is the finished sound, it's like tin cans. Though in BLOPS 1 my favourite Gun sound was the Mac11 which literally sounded like a stone in a tin can 0 -
