• Players may chose two perks and based on those choices, a third perk is chosen for you. • Commando has been removed.
• One Man Army has been removed.
• Scavenger no longer replenishes equipment (i.e. claymores, C4, etc).
• Cold Blooded and Juggernaut are part of an armor system that the player wears.
Killstreaks
• At this point, the highest killstreak reward is for 15 kills
• Killstreak rewards will not count towards your next killstreak. For example: if you receive a 5-killstreak reward, the kills gained by that killstreak will not move you towards your next killstreak reward. Killstreak rewards may only be earned through your main weapons.
• Pavelow will return as a killstreak, although it has a feature unique to Black Ops.
• UAV will return as a killstreak.
• In addition to the Pavelow, there will be two other types of helicopters earned as killstreaks.

• The M16 will return, still as a high-powered, high-accuracy weapon.
• The tactical knife is no longer available, while a new knife will be available in it’s place: the ballistic knife. A ballistic knife has a detachable, spring-loaded blade designed to be fired a distance of approx. 6 meters at a rate of 39 MPH (63 km/h).
• The claymore is classified as equipment, thus the Scavenger perk will not replenish it.
