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.

Purist_GamersFPS_Ryan The multiplayer portion of Call of Duty lures in the same crowd over and over again. They know how to play it and they know how much fun they can have playing it. I think that it is a good thing its staying this way.
yea thats why i dont get people say its the same ever year i dont want it to change on to get on black ops 2 and it feel like a cod. you take that away and they will lose there hardcore fan base.
Thats exactly my point. If it turns into a totally different game they will possibly lose their large fan base and they are going to move onto another FPS game.

Im not shure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.I liked Black Ops guns but not the cartoon look of the game.

TTG_Flair-Finch This is a bit of a downfall because treyarch seems to have a cartoonish type of feel to their games while The Modern WArfare's kept it real crisp and clean. I'm not sure whether they improved the graphics but the game play was ok.
true blacks ops had weird graphics but i liked the graphics
In my opinion Black Ops has better graphics than MW3 (Who cares if MW3 has bits of paper floating around the map) IW thinks that just because they have a better server that it will be a better game! No way. Black Ops = best CoD ever (So long as lag compensation didn't get in the way!

The first sentence got me questioning if this game is going to be worth it, but I'm not judging yet. I just want to see the MP Reveal already.
