    MAKE
    THE
    PERKS
    REALISTIC!!!!!!!!!!!
    cold blooded? really? never heard of a live person without warm blood!
    do something smart for once and make the uav only spot people outside! or people moving! at the beginning of the war we had crappy starlet or starscreen or something like that for thermal imaging that was fuzzy as a teddy bear. how is it going to spot me through a 2 story building or in a concrete bunker? MAYBE if its made of wood but still im tired of being nowhere near the uavs line of site and yet it can see me not because it has eyes on me but because it has psychic abilities that i can somehow block with my magically cold body. I AAAM ICEMAAAAANNN!!! MHUAH HA HA HA!!! MAKE THEM REALISTIC GOD PLEASE MAKE THEM REALISTIC
    on a side note it would be cool to see the AC-47 make its COD debut as a less powerful easier to get pointstreak because they just had miniguns on them not the full 130 cannon treatment. and dont make it so you can control it, it that would be impossible with the technology of the day i hope your MP doesnt suck i really do but you guys have A LOT of things to change from the last turd sandwich that was MW2. or was it a giant douche? DONT FAIL US REAL COD PLAYERS i think you guys can revive the COD franchise with a good MP.
    BRING
    BACK
    THE
    GORE!!!! we loved blowing peoples legs off! war is NOT pretty and is NOT like hollywood. im sure your new friends from the SOG have told you that
    love the unconventional weapons keep em comin

      According what treyarch said in a different post on the sight, the multiplayer has no specific time period, which is why a very modern weapon like the G11 is confirmed to be in it.

        they said that this is a cold war game not a vietnam game so basically anything from 46 till almost present day. this will prove a hard task for the MP team but just cause a gun is made a decade or two earlier than another doesnt mean its not better. the AK-47 was obviously made in 1947 but it can still outperform many guns made after it and it will ALWAYS FIRE (lol ive seen some stuff) and is still in use by many armies today. it has the perfect rifle round. it will be a challenge to have the different decades of weapons but im sure they will think of a way to make the game balanced and hopefully will have a BETA. reach will be 100 times better because of it and i hope blackops will too. perhaps different era playlists? who knows at this point.

  2. not an idiot says:

    think about EVERY perk dont just put a perk in to counter something else in the game. you need balance but ninja in mw2? while you either love or hate the heartbeat sensor (depending on if your using it) from my basic understanding of the human body if your heartbeat is “undetectable” then it probably isnt beating and therefore your already dead and i find it hard to believe that a person with full body armor, strapped to the teeth with grenades weapons and ammo, wearing boots could jog up to me from behind in sand, dirt, or creeky wood without me hearing anything. my point is dont put a perk or class mod in the MP just cause it would be cool or a unique advantage for the soldier, add perks that make sense and are usable for an actual soldier since this game doesnt take place in a fictional hollywood war, it takes place in an actuall war where real soldiers fought with real equipment. DONT MESS THIS UP COD MP MUST BE REVIVED!!!!!!!!!!!! just not with a revive perk lol if your legs are gone theyre gone dont bring back that stupid last stand revive “that was a close one” bulltihs once your down your down youll bleed out and die. there is no magic liquid to put your leg meat back together after someone rips through them with an lmg. oh ya and PEOPLE DONT DIE INSTANTLY WHEN SHOT IN THE FOOT I CANT BELIEVE MW2 STILL HAD THAT AAAHHH!!! stupid IW epic fail. id like to see how IWs team did in their tour in afganistan. i wonder if they got their 7 kills and were given permission to drop a harrier airstrike LMFAO! or if their predator could spot insurgents hiding inside houses and in caves and through cement NOPE! they have no clue what urban warfare is like. THINK ABOUT IT

      personally i feel perks should be weaker. i like the perk system, but they should not define your strategy, only give it a boost.

    not an idiot once again your an idiot this game is not meant to be real life if you hadnt noticed the game would be unbalanced therefore making the game lopsided which is not what you want if every video was meant to be real life there would be no halo mag and a bunch of other but nope there meant for fun. So once again hop off your danglez and stop making stupid suggestions cause cod 4 style is the way to go

      child prodigy stop hating. try making some useful suggestions treyarchs not going to listen to your snark. i too play halo and love it because its unrealistic. i know cod is not realistic, far from it actually and im sure you have no idea if your a child. i was in the marines and ive shot plenty of the weopons that are in these games. now in halo there is no set recoil for a BR cause its not a real gun or a needler cause its completely made up. i bet you have never fired a weapon in your life except a bow and arrow in your gym class. if they are going to put a real weapon in the game then they damn well better represent it by the way it reacts after the first shot in a burst of shots. every gun will act different just by the shape and design of the internals. try shooting a gun ITS HARD TO DO. and i know how unfair war is in this age of war. we have more accurate (not always more reliable, love the AK) weapons than the enemy. im not saying make this game the most realistic game ever or saying they should change the game drastically i just think if your firing a REAL gun in a supposedly REAL army ranger soldiers hands, then it should represent that by making the recoil REALISTIC. any insurgent army, vietcong to terrorist b*****ds, will never fight a conventional fight against the US military but they can at least give us a game with the formula and strategy of COD4 with more realistic gun physics. COD4 is the best no arguing but it was still too easy to shoot someone. if you want to live in a world of swayless recoiless guns then play halo i just hope they make the hardcore mode good. and make an actuall suggestion to the game istead of wasting valuable comment space. snark this if you want but there are thousands of professional soldiers out there who im sure were dissapointed with the MW2 gun physics. WAWs was way better and they should build on that. hope they listen.

    I personally would like the game be kinda like Battlefield Bad Company 2 where the environment can blow up, and there are no killstreaks but helicopters where you can hop in, shoot some asshole out of a f**king helicopter, and you work towards different guns like you get 1 sniper and if you get 1000 points with this gun you get a new sniper rifle.

  7. not an idiot says:

    maybe i am a big idiot and maybe treyarch will make their game exactly like MW2 but i think they have played MW2 and realize how r****ded the game was and if they dont change almost every aspect of the MP then it will bomb worse than MW2. the only reason people bought it is for the name not cause it was quality. MW2 did very few things right and you all know that feeling when you know you should have died or killed someone and the outcome was the complete opposite! and when your in a hot battlefield you have to rely on the skill/luck of a pilot for air support. stop with the controllable killstreaks. while they are epic they are in no way practical. bring on the AC-47s buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz gotta love 3 miniguns putting out more than 3000 rounds a min. each!!!

      Look this is a GAME it’s not real. I highly doubt you’ve ever been in the military, so stop acting like it. So go make your own game and stop whining about every little thing wrong in a game no game is perfect

  8. not an idiot says:

    or like vgking said and just let you be a pilot. although they will probably not do that it would be WAY better than a controllable killstreak. battlefield was fun for that aspect of pilot/gunner vs groundwar kinda thing. pilots make mistakes and putting a person in the helos would be a good way to make it more immersive in the complete 360 degree fight. i just wouldnt hold my breath on that one. they did say that vehicles will be back in a way we wouldnt expect so they might do exactly that with the air support. we will see in the months to come i guess.

  9. illson says:

    Even though these games are rated M, you need to realize they make them so an 8 year old can pick the controller and within 5 minutes that person can walk, jump, shoot, and die. They don’t make it so 1 specific person can be good. They make it so everyone has the POTENTIAL to be good if they don’t suck.

    If you want to get better, stop sucking. Because, let’s be honest. The people who b***h about these games only do so b/c they’re not as good as they think they should be(That’s the key), Machinima posters included.
