Black Ops will have gimmicks, it will attract people, it will be terrible.
You know how much I hate CoD, Elitemagical, but I want to give it a shot. On the other thread I've already explained why, and you must've seen it more than enough times.
I haven't heard any official announcements concerning the development of Modern Warfare 3, but even if it was released, it would be console only and wouldn't bother me.
It's on Wikipedia. And yes, it's console only, I think when IW and Activision broke off (or whatever happened) they went very downhill, Modern Warfare 3 may be the worst if it is created by the same people who made MW2.
They went with too much a QS NS TK etc fashion, Steady Aim's Pro feature is absolutely rediculous, and one of the things I saw in Black Ops is that there is no quicker aiming in.
By the way, Treyarch seems to be making snipers very cool in Black Ops:
1. They seem to One-shot One-kill no matter what - unless of course the enemy is using Second Chance (Last Stand).
2. There is no Juggernaught or Stopping Power, meaning there is a free perk, allowing:
Scout - Hold Breath Longer (less sway on Sniper when it's pro).
Steady Aim - More Hipfire Accuracy.
Hardened - Basically FMJ.
Warlord - 2 Attachments on Primary Weapon, Pro version is the same as Bling - 2 on Secondary.
Sleight of Hand - Quicker reloading, the Pro version is the same except IT DOESN'T EFFECT SNIPERS! <3
Oh yeah
That's Scout or Warlord instead of Stopping Power (these are all from Second Tier Perks), amazing, no?
Also Perk 1 won't be Sleight of Hand so that can be either:
Lightweight - Run quicker (not all that effective), Pro version allows aiming in quicker after Sprinting.
Scavenger - Resupplying (this can be very useful for Snipers), Pro version is having the maximum amount of ammo for the Weapon as soon as you spawn.
Ghost - Invisible to Blackbird and Scout Plane (these are UAV's), Pro version is no red crosshair. All of this is effectively Cold Blood.
Hardline - All killstreaks one kill early, Pro version is a second chance at Care Packages (which is very useful).
Flak Jacket - Less damage from explosives, Pro version gives extra fire resistance.
The greatness of all this is that you can get your killstreaks quicker, which can aid you substantially.
Or you can be invisible, which, if the Suppressor does One-shot One-kill on the sniper, then how amazing would that be?
Or you could go with Scavenger, giving more survivability if you keep using the Sniper, not entirely recommended though.
Oh yeah.
Let's take a look at Perk 3's,
Marathon - Longer Sprint (NOT unlimited, it's Extreme Conditioning from CoD4), Pro version is to take no fall damage (nobody likes Commando, and now they found an
excellent way to use its Pro). Obviously very useful for Rushers.
Ninja - Less noise when moving (nicely done that the Pro of Ninja is now the first one, I like it), Pro version is where you won't show up on Motion Scensors (think Battlefield Bad Company 2) and Cameras.
Second Chance - Pull out your pistol before dying (Last Stand), Pro version is to use Equipment as well.
Hacker - Detect enemy Equipment and Explosives, Pro version is to Hijack enemy Equipment (steal their C4?) AND to Booby Trap their Care Package (I don't know exactly what this does).
Tactical Mask - Reduced effect of Flashes and Stuns, Pro version unlocks Night Vision Goggles. All I hope about this one is that there are dark maps (day and night cycles?) or at least dark areas where it would make a difference.
Ones you would take for a Sniper are:
Hacker - if the map has little obstacles and they plant something behind the wall, shoot it? Not the best of choices mind.
Ninja - With Ghost and Ninja, with a Suppressor you can achieve complete stealth (I wouldn't recommend a Suppressor if it removes the certainty of a One-shot One-kill).
Tactical Mask - If there are dark maps, it would make you look really cool, but it also lets you prepare more for if the enemy attempts to charge at you from behind after Flashing / Stunning.
Marathon - Being able to run away easier, or simply jumping off the ridge your shooting from. This also, isn't the best idea to be honest.
Second Chance - If you're a noob that needs 1-2 seconds of immunity to shoot your pistol and kill someone before you die.
Haha.
