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.

AussieguyBritishColumbia i liked black ops multiplayer, the only thing they need to add is quick scoping
That's the reason I like Black Ops so much because they DIDNT HAVE QUICK SCOPING in it
quickscoping was pretty good in Black Ops...I was really good at it.

To be completely honest and haters can hate but, Black Ops was a really good game "In MY Opinion." and I think this game will be 10x better than that piece of shit dlc called "Modern ShitFare 2.5". Treyarch is a great company and they always have a great multiplayer. People only get mad because they suck at them because Treyarch makes games that actually "require skill" unlike the Modern Warfare. CoD 4 will be the only good game that IW will ever make.

I like MW3's strike package system. Simple yet unique for every players' play style.

FPS_RyanPurist_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.
Depends what they change in the game, cod 4 had the basic things like perks, then mw2 brought in Pro perks and customized kill streaks which changed the game so much, it also brought in more people
