    North wasn't used to promote BLOPS2. He was a consultant.

    They promoted he was a consultant for the game.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    It won't stop me from playing this game obviously, but his inclusion in BLOPS 2 was enough to keep me well away from it.

    The new perk system is interesting, Ready Up (Dexterity) for 1 point seems like a given.

    Guess a good combo for my playstyle (flanker) would be - Ready Up, Quickdraw, Off The Grid and Incog, but damn its hard to find a good mix with everything i want, since some perks are so expensive.
    I love having Scavenger and Dead Silence too, but not enough points then and I've already sacrificed a secondary and a lethal at this point.

    Seems the list I found at first had some wrong perk point costs, it listed Quickdraw, Off the Grid and Incog as 3 point worth each, they are 2 points each (according to an official video), which means I can get Scavenger and the sacrificed lethal grenade too.

    Some sites say values have been finalized as more expensive and the higher cost of perks is the right one, fuck this shit, I'll just wait and see, I just like to try and plan out in advance.

    I noticed that the killstreak lists doesn't seem to have Care Packages in Ghost, I'm going to miss those, not because I cant get good killstreaks without, but I enjoyed using it as my first killstreak. (especially with reroll)

    What North did in Nicaragua isn't much different than what Obama is doing in Syria; he just got caught and destroyed the evidence. That's illegal, but it's not treason.

    I liked BlOpsII because I got to shoot the leader of Occupy Wall Street in the head and sink the Obama. :-P

    I should probably get around to preordering this so I can get whatever stupid bonus that gets me.

    Hopefully work will approve my request of November 5-7 off so I can play all the CoD right away as is my tradition. There's just a great feeling of joy I get from playing the MP at midnight on launch.

    You get an "exclusive" map and you can get an "exclusive" multiplayer skin of "Ghost" from MW2.

    Well, okay, the Contras weren't affiliated with Al Qaeda. So you've got me there.

    OT, I'm not sure if I should be impressed or disappointed at how much that first multiplayer map in the leaked footage looks like what we've seen of the next-gen version.

    Since there is a few sites showing wrong point values for perks, this is from the official site itself.

    You get 8 points normally, but It's possible to get 12 points maximum, but you'll have to sacrifice everything except your knife to achieve that.

    It appears that Ground War may be gone in Ghosts, as leaked box art says the 360 and the PS3 versions support 12 player multiplayer.

    I never played Ground War, as I always thought 18 people on a CoD map always ended up being a mess, but it sucks that they're taking stuff that's always been there away.

    It was fine on certain maps, and really only certain maps. That MW3 DLC one in Central Park (which I think 18 was actually almost enough) and the ruined highway one was also decent for 18 players. That's about it though.

    I have a dilemma that I'm hoping you guys can help me out with.

    I want the game at launch, because reasons. But I don't know whether to get it for PC (Where it will look great, run at 1080p60) where I'll have to use a mouse and keyboard to be competitive (I hate mouse and keyboard because my PC is in the lounge - we don't have a desk or table so I just have to kind of sit on the sofa and play).

    Or I could get it on 360 and put up with the sub-par graphics for a couple of weeks then take advantage of the upgrade thing to get it on Xbox One on the 22nd where it still won't be 1080p but at least I'll be able to use the controller.

    Anyone else in a similar situation? What to do? Anyone got experience of playing the PC version of COD with a gamepad?

    I'm pretty sure they ditched Martyrdom.

    Because it was fun, and leet competitive CoD players are joyless turds.

    Do attachments cost points like in BLOPS2?

    Huh, someone in one of the Ghosts videos I was watching made an interesting point about the score and team match rank being displayed and whether or not youtube stars will leave that in when they make their sweet montages. I've no doubt that a lot of the big guys are legit beastmasters, but there are always going to be dudes like this. You can see that other than a brief stint where he goes 6-0, he's basically running around dragging his team down. (I post this strictly as an example of the telling info in the upper right corner, and NOT as an example of good gameplay)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcAYXTGie2g

    I'm going to give that guy some credit and assume that he's just posting what he managed to get at Eurogamer or wherever, but it will be telling when the dope montages start to come out after release.

    Neat. Still two attachments, and I'm guessing three with whatever bling/warlord equivalent they have?

    I'm going to guess that you only get one attachment for free, since there is a perk that allows you to have 2 attachments.

    Extra Attachment Perk (3 points)
    Allows you to choose an extra attachment for both your primary and secondary weapon. This is a solid all-around perk, useful in many situations

    2 attachments on your primary and 1 on your secondary. The Extra Attachment Perk adds one slot to each.
