Welp, it's official.
:O
Sounds like it's PC only.
Doesn't seem like it if they teased in the 360 MP trailer, but we should know for sure on Wednesday.

It's like Treyarch is reading HaloGAF and they're like:
"Well, we can do that."
In another change, albeit one slightly more subtle, the Killstreaks of the original Black Ops have been replaced by Score Streaks in Black Ops 2. Instead of doling out rewards like care packages and air strikes for racking up consecutive kills without dying, players will accrue points for both killing enemies and completing game mode objectives.
A normal kill in Black Ops 2 awards players 100 points. Grabbing an enemy flag in Capture The Flag mode also nets 100 points, whereas a flag capture awards 150. Making a kill while carrying the flag awards a hefty 200 points. As those points add up, players accumulate Score Streak rewards. So, when a player's score reaches 375 they can call in a UAV. At 500 points, they can request a Lightning Strike attack. At 1275 points, Treyarch's trademark attack dogs become available.
Certain Score Streaks can add even more points to your score. While your UAV is active, for example, you'll get a 25 point bonus for every kill your teammates make. Those assist points can quickly add up to Score Streaks far deadlier.
7-ElevenHow does one go about becoming a Community Cartographer?
So BLOPS is getting Arena? Cool.
Arena wasnt a bad idea, it was just implemented poorly.
Is all that jazz PC only?
If yes its still fucking amazing.
If no, treyarch are wizards
Well its official. If Halo 4 doesn't have 1-50 I'm not getting it.
While the features sound great, I'm burned out on the gameplay.

That's kind of extreme.

Yea but its been something CoD has been missing to make it a home. Before CoD was like a game you messed around in when you needed a break. Now though, now I can test myself and prove myself and see how far I can get in CoD. I'm really looking forward to it.
What if it's 1-100.
I know what you mean, seeing Blops 2 come out with a (seemingly) great competitive system makes me really jealous as a Halo fan. That said, we haven't seen anything of 4's system. For all we know, it could be just as good, if not better.Yea but its been something CoD has been missing to make it a home. Before CoD was like a game you messed around in when you needed a break.

Hey remember when our team donged all over you last night in matchmaking? Should polish those skills more.

Speaking for myself, I'd rather play Halo 4, because the base gameplay of the franchise is so fun IMO. Add on all the features you want to CoD, but I'm still not a fan of the core game. Except for the original Blops, I've been playing the shit out of that game lately.
Hey if you go read a couple of pages back, then you know why I was negative. Should polish those reading skills more.

Hey remember the time we donged on you?
Of course it was a bad idea, it's not even a ranking system.Arena wasnt a bad idea
Seriously, bring back counting numbers. Also, it shouldn't go higher than the number of fingers and toes. I'm trying to shit on kids in Halo, not take a math course.Even then though if its not 1-something I'll be dissapointed, again.
Cue the rampant cheating post launch. Sure the system may sound great but it will turn out to be another worthless virtual rank number. Cheaters, sold accounts and all that...

Do you read bro? it was his bro playing bro. Pop would have shit all over us.

I've never understood this argument. People like Juices will earn their rank legitimately while people who want to buy an account just buy an account, get donged on by the Juices of the world and earn a lower rank. I don't see how this is a problem for anyone other than the idiots who purchase an account.
Then why does a very successful competitive game called Starcraft 2 use a very similar system and is praised for it?Of course it was a bad idea, it's not even a ranking system.
Its all systems.
Watching these CoD gameplays game looks cool.
Hope H4 has implemented this: http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n97/xxjuicesxx/Untitled-43.png[IMG] tired of people spawning before me before game and before black screens end. I was actually talking about this last night on stream.[/QUOTE]
Ha, I was also thinking about that a couple of days ago. Something like that in Halo would be great and much needed.
Is that confirmed?
Holy shit.
It beats the purpose of the ranking. That means more shitty players and their shenanigans.I've never understood this argument.

It's not a ranking system because no one plays it. 0 players.Then why does a very successful competitive game called Starcraft 2 use a very similar system and is praised for it?
Wow. Seriously, wow.http://m.joystiq.com/2012/08/14/blac...ome_latest_art
All platforms, you can watch on pc and moible too.
We need names.My daughter plugged a couple of GAFers on her first time playing competitive Halo ever. It was glorious. I wanted to shout, "you just got killed by a little girl who can't aim straight yet", but I had sound muted.

Wow. Seriously, wow.
If CoD can do it, then seriously, why doesn't Halo 4 have it?
Call of Duty isn't even a major part of e-sports, and yet it gets a full suite of competitive options.
