13. Killstreaks & Perks
We haven't got much concrete information on the included killstreaks just yet, but the internet has been awash with rumours relating to exactly which killstreaks Black Ops 2 will include, and the suggestions so far point to some extremely exciting inclusions. According to the good folk at
BlackOPsII.com, footage of the game so far has confirmed the following: Attack Helicopter CLAW (Cognitive Land Assault Weapon) EMP FA-38 Airstrike RC-XD - Miniature remote-controlled explosives vehicle UAV Quadrotor And then there's the suggestion that players will also be able to unlock an x-ray ACOG scope as a killstreak reward, which will allow the player to scope and shoot enemies through surfaces. Or in other words, a multitude of impressive add-on rewards.
Nowgamer have also provided a run-down of the multiplayer perks that are supposedly set to be included, as part of the newly rebuilt perks system:
Audiophile - enemies shooting at you with silenced weapons will still appear on your mini-map, but only if they are nearby. Bladesman You can hold two knives, meaning you pull off melee kills faster Consciousness Your accuracy while standing upright is just as good as shooting while prone Deep Impact Bullets penetrate through surfaces with greater success. Defuser - can throw grenades and equipment further. Diver you can shoot while diving to prone Escape Artist - can fake death when going prone, but you sacrifice the option of shooting. Focus You can shoot while sprinting, although the accuracy is drastically reduced Pilot Your airborne killstreak kills count towards your overall killstreak chain Spy - appear as an ally on the enemy mini-map. Technician Ground-based killstreak kills count towards your overall killstreak chain
This list has since been suggested as a fake, but it does offer an insight into what sort of things we might see in the perks programme.
