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.

Appze Well does that mean the game will be bad like BO1.
I preferred Black ops than Mw3 and Mw2. I am not sure why, it just felt better.

Cryptographic Halo 4 will be a waste just like halo reach.
Halo reach was the biggest waste of money ever!
The crappy campaign, dumb online, and underpowered guns.
The freaking DMR did less damage then a pea shooter.
And the rocket laucher is all people use since all the other guns suck.
I won't buy halo 4 ever :D
Rage done.
This is about Black Ops II not Halo... :facepalm:
Good! They shouldn't change the online too much.

Don't know why they are working so hard on multiplayer, everyone wants it for zombies. And this whole point system for guns sounds like crap.

Cool.
Have fun with that.
Too bad this isn't about Halo 4 at all.
I admit, I disliked reach, I loved Halo Two, Halo Three was okay, I disliked Halo ODST and Halo Wars.
I don't know if I will be buying BO2.
