Some other things that people have gleaned so far:

Scorestreaks are back and a re-imagined Pipeline from CoD4 will be a bonus map.

Yes. Please start making large maps again. There hasn't been a decent large scale map since MW2.

Really? NICE.

Some version of Blops 2 Combat Training would really seal the deal for me. Squads was weak even before IW messed it up.

Digital Pro seems to be the way to go. Also, it sounds like they're bringing in a BF4 battlepack equivalent with the supply drops.

I seriously thought the guns they showed were cheap plastic toys and my immediate thought was "oh I gotta get whatever edition that is." Now I'm sad they're not.

This seems like the best one. Seems like you're getting around 60 bucks worth of DLC for 40 bucks.

Kinda want that sweet-rear end steel case, but haha paying 120 bucks for a CoD game.

I'll probably get the one Atlas Limited Edition because I'm a sucker for steel cases and I can just sell the art stuff to my buddy to recoup the extra I paid for it.

Derailed was a good map. Wasteland was an amazing map (for hushing).

It was a pretty loving awesome map to get an AC-130 on, that's true.

Otherwise, the idyllic radioactive scenery, Interventions spinning and SNAPing in the pubbie's mating display, the bunker constantly exploding...what's not to like?

I wasn't a fan of maps that catered to snipers. It wasn't even that great of an AC-130 map, as there are certain areas that the AC-130 guns couldn't reach at certain angles.

My favorite AC-130 map was Afghan. Especially with MW2's spawn logic (or lack thereof).

That's true about the dead zones on Wasteland, but pounding the spawns by the chopper pad, etc were sufficiently rewarding.

But yeah, putting a 105 on the doorway of the Afghan big bunker was the best.

Maybe they'll just reskin the '130 for this game; we can hope.

Someone making GBS threads out AC-130's while the rest roam with shotguns in the bunkers and cave so it forces the spawn on C was probably the meanest loving thing you could do after abusing OMA tubing.

I might get this one. Map packs have pretty much been a waste of money for me so I won't bother any more even if this game turns out awesome, but I'm a sucker for camos and silly hats.

Everything's fine.

Nothing to see here.
I know this is a bit of a weird thing to think about but has there been any news regarding what the stats/tracking/app interface is going to be? I loved the way you could see almost everything easily online for BLOPS2 and thought that the Ghosts app was complete bullshit, especially considering there was no web crossover and the complete fickle nature of wether or not it would work, especially during Clan Wars. I realize that almost every product being released at this point has some lovely app to ~*~eNhAnCe tHe ExPeRiEnCe~*~ but I just hope we see a COD Elite-esque implementation.

Also the digital pro pack is brilliant, especially after the wave of people who sold their physical copies back to EB/Gamestop/whatever a month after release. I'm sure there's an suit somewhere at Activision losing sleep over LOST REVENUE

If that is a UAV, then it's a 6 kill streak.

I hope they don't do that thing where kills in FFA are only 50 points, which would mean that UAV is a 12 kill streak. 12 kills would net you an AC-130 in MW2 :downs:

UAV's are way too powerful, now replacing it as the cheapest scorestreak is RC-XD now with hot JumpJets at 2 points to earn it.

Secret RC-XD race tracks on every map.
