Black Ops II – Treyarch Keeping Familiar Multiplayer Experience
Already, rumors of a completely revamped create-a-class system have begun to surface which indicate that Black Ops II could use a point allocation system so that players can completely customize their loadouts.
Recently, X360A asked Treyarch’s John Rafacz if he thought experimenting or playing with the Call of Duty multiplayer experience could pose as a risk given how well established it already is.
Rafacz made it clear, “well, let’s be careful how we use the phrase ‘playing’ with it. When we talk about challenging assumptions [of multiplayer] at no point has anyone ever expressed any interest in throwing the baby out with the bathwater. But at the same time, as we listen to the community and make our level best effort to speak to the variety of expectations that 30-40 million fans have, we’ve evolved a few things and added our own spin on certain aspects. But to those that hold multiplayer sacred: we’re not ‘playing’ with it.”
Rafacz was also asked if developers felt restricted thanks to expectations and preconceived notions of what Call of Duty multiplayer should be. He explained, “I’m not even sure it has as much to do with multiplayer as much as it does with listening to what people are really asking for. Whether it’s from a random tweet or a forum thread comment, there’s hopefully the thing that someone loves, but if it’s something that someone hates and they’re complaining about, what is it that they’re really going after? It’s the art of being able to scoop those comments up, listen to them and really dissect the true intention of what the community is asking for. It’s really more about getting that right and then everything else follows.”
Still, very little is known about Black Ops II’s multiplayer. However, that should change by early August, according to gameplay designer David Vonderhaar. A few days ago, he tweeted that we should be learning more about the multiplayer in “7-8 weeks,” or “a long time from now, but far earlier than usual.” Perhaps during this year’s Gamescon, Germanym a gaming trade fair, this August 15-19? The original Back Ops as well as Modern Warfare 3 got their multiplayer reveals in September.

Cool, can't wait to see some more gameplay of multiplayer. And to all the people b*tching already, you haven't even played the game yet. All of you need to grow up, don't buy it if you don't like it. Simple.

Devise I can't stand Treyarch! I just don't like their games at all. I will probably still by Black Ops II, but I will eventually sell it after only playing it a couple of times just like I did with Black Ops.
The campaigns are always good for CoD. The only Treyarch game I loved was World at War. Black Ops sucked =/

xXSNOOPYXx Another piece of crap coming from treyarch, they fail so much
quite hypocritical really as by your comment seems like you adore infinityward witch is most definatley fail as all they do is copy and past and add a number i like treyarch because they try and change the game and when they do its a good thing for example cod mw2 copy of cod4 made by IW, cod waw then to make cod black ops is a massive step from 1940 shooters and put a massive spin on the gameplay so in lamens terms gtfo you child thats probably not even old enough to buy the game(did mummy or daddy buy it for you

Fuko So no revamped multiplayer? too bad, but millions are still going to buy it for multiplayer even though nothing will change :(
There will be those few who will buy it for zombies. That's the only reason me and my friends are buying it.

I don't get it. You all ask for change instead of the boring gameplay, and then when change occurs, you call it crap, when you haven't even seen the gameplay. God, how about we actually wait until we see more than 9 minute gameplay to call it crap?
