Treyarch on Tweaks for Black Ops and “Next” Call of Duty
One question we are asking is if this feedback is to be used to improve Black Ops, or will it be factored into their next title, be it Black Ops 2 or something completely different. So far, we’ve already seen some major changes to Black Ops gameplay fairly late into it’s life, including weapon balancing, playlists, and perks like Last Stand. It would not be crazy to assume more changes are on their way, but meanwhile, we can begin to get a general idea of the direction Treyarch might be headed in with their next project. For now, you should check out the Unofficial Feedback Thread and Unofficial Knife Feedback Thread that Vonderhaar has set up to gather feedback.
Vonderhaar has stressed that he’s reading all comments on these threads, so it would be a great place to have your voice heard.
Many fans have been showing appreciation for Treyarch’s willingness to learn and implement new improvements/ideas into Black Ops. Vonderhaar mentions that “You have to challenge assumptions. I don’t want to change just because we could. Finding the right things is important.” Treyarch recently implemented the option to turn aim assist for consoles in the multiplayer and was asked if there were any plans to create playlists that enforce this feature. Vonderhaar states, “yes. It could be enforced at a playlist level. Not sure how popular it would be, but am thinking of a way to deal with that.” One of the more controversial ideas that Vonderhaar has been looking for feedback on is the ability to unlock weapons permanently through prestiging. “We have these ‘traditions’ of doing things a certain way. Prestige relocking gameplay content being one.” Perhaps it’s time to break these traditions in order for Call of Duty to really move forward. In response to one fan stating that all of these changes could have been tested earlier in a Beta, had they implemented one, Vonderhaar noted that “it would be ridiculously beneficial to be able to test out this stuff now in black ops so its perfect for the ‘next game.’”
It seems we live in a day and age when it’s more and more acceptable for games with a strong multiplayer community like Call of Duty to be tweaked and changed, days, months, or years after release. Do you agree with this dynamic way of updating games, or should they be “perfect” from the get-go. Also, what would you like to see in the “next” Call of Duty?

Loved Black Ops, I believe this game was one of the best CoDs with CoD4 and W@W. I dont really like the MW series after CoD4 it seems like IW sold out lately :/ The maps in MW3 are so tight cornered it feels like every where I go is wide out in the open, other than the maps MW3 is Okay not good.

I'm excited already. Not trying to hate on Infinity Ward but I enjoy Treyarch's CoD games a lot more. I still bought MW3 and it was fun, but I feel IW didn't try to much to change it at all, because I'm already starting to get bored of the game. Black Ops lasted me a lot longer before I got bored, mostly because I think Treyarch puts a lot more effort into their games.

Jacob8hockey Shitty situation for Treyarch. They try to do everything right and even get the fans opinions but still end up making a game that is disliked. They really have the potential to make the better cods because they try harder and are creative about the games.black ops was good alot of people enjoyed it but people on ttg didn't like it because it took skill to be good at and MW2 didn't so they blame the game because it was to hard for them

Treyarch is the best imo W@W is great and Black Ops has been the most fun to date but I do like the Modern Warfare series too but I just prefer Treyarch's games

DeadlyDasherBrahh Their Games suck Anyway, It won't really make a difference...
I'm glad you think that. Maybe their will be less 13 year olds in this COD because it's to hard.
Black Ops took way more skill then MW2, so the 13 year olds on TTG thought it sucked. So please don't buy the next one.
