I'm assuming they haven't revealed all of the scorestreaks yet as there aren't a whole lot of them compared to previous games. Although I imagine customizable streaks will increase the variety.

I assume that there aren't any more. The customizations change the base streak enough that they would have been entirely independent killstreaks in the previous games. With the modules, the 12 base streaks will really be like 40 unique streaks. I mean look at Remote Turret; the Rippable module is the Death Machine.

There are more. The devs did a Q&A on Twitter this morning, and they said there are more streaks and more modules, but none of them will be revealed until launch.

Uplink stuff (new to me):
- Throwing the ball into the goal is 1 point
- Jumping into the goal while holding the ball is 2 points
- If the game is tied at the end of regulation, it goes to a stopwatch overtime like CTF in BO2.

I'm trying not to overhype myself, but drat I can't wait to play that mode...

It was a remake of Summit from BO1 in BO2. It's a new game mode similar to UT's Bombing Run in AW.

I wish that you could have one CoD account across multiple platforms. I'd really like to be able to hop back and forth between Xbone and PS4 and have one set of classes/unlocks/stats/etc. It will probably never happen, but a man can dream.

It's technically possible. It's all a matter of red tape and effort. You know how much effort goes into their elite/clan/web stuff.

I've been watching multiplayer videos of this on youtube since last night and I've noticed a few things that might interest people.

-UAV's aren't tiny little planes anymore but big fuckoff shark looking things. Around 2:10 into this video you can see one come in from the top left of the screen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHjucvisNDA

-Paladin killstreak is gonna be nasty. Can't remember when it starts in this one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgwV3A3rdVI

-The explosive drone is both hilarious and adorable. I don't think I'll ever not use it. Skip to 6:01 and watch the kill cam.

Looks like UAVs are going to really easy to shoot down now. The Paladin reminds me of the Chopper Gunner. It looks like the bullets really spread out, though.

I guess I'll be running Flak Jacket a lot if that drone becomes popular. I haven't found anyone videos of people shooting it. It keeps catching them off guard.

I'm noticing lots of neat little UI things. The minimap highlights your icon in red while you're firing an unsilenced weapon (I thought I also saw it highlight when someone got pinged by a UAV in another video, but that didn't seem to happen in any of these), and it shows you when your teammates are firing. The optical attachments and the ARs' iron sights have little things that highlight red or blue when you're aiming at enemies or friends. The grenade icon gets bigger as you move closer to the grenade.

Also, in the first video, when he pulls out the iron sight sniper rifle, its name is just shown as "MORS." Every time it's used with the scope, it's "MORS Custom." So I guess iron sights are the default for snipers too?

It seems like with the extra movement of people jumping and boosting all over the place being able to aim and know where players are coming from will be even more important. I like that.


The throw the ball at enemy to leave them with no gun and then kill them thing is loving rad. Uplink seems pretty cool.
