BLOPs 2 Prestige changes, Party Games and Combat Training

Treyarch released info on Prestige changes, Party Games and Combat training. 

 

 

 

Combat Training
To increase confidence levels of players who see more Kill Cam than game, Treyarch has focused its attention on Combat Training, the mode meant to introduce players to multiplayer basics against AI controlled bots.

 


Party On
Wager Matches have been abandoned in Black Ops 2, but in name only. Now dubbed 'Party Games,' favorites like Gun Game, One in the Chamber, Sharpshoot, and Sticks and Stones have returned. The mode's new name reflects Treyarch's attitude toward the modes, which are meant to be played by groups to have fun. Of course, matchmaking still exists for those looking for a quick pick-up game.

 

 


Custom Games and Unlocking Cosmetic Changes
"Custom games have haunted me since we put it in Black Ops," Vonderhaar admits. The trick for Black Ops 2 was to make sure "every game mode can be customized in really meaningful ways."

 

 


Call of Duty: Hollywood
Theater Mode has seen a number of changes, specifically to entice players to participate with the sharing system. A new option called 'Highlight Reel' will, when selected, scour the replay of a match and automatically assemble together a film of your best moments.

Prestige
In Black Ops 2, hitting Prestige no longer resets weapon experience or unlocks, it no longer wipes challenge progress and aims to be another step in a long line of level progression. As mentioned in earlier previews, there are 55 levels in Black Ops 2 with 10 levels of Prestige. "Back to basics here, this is not a grind," Vonderhaar says. Each level gives players a single unlock token, which allows them to select from a list of content gated by rank.

This just makes me all kinds of happy. My favorite game modes are back, custom emblems are back, prestige no longer has to be completely idiotic. This is going to be awesome.

Prestige no longer erases everthing!?!? Wow this might be this first time I prestige since COD4. I always thought it was stupid to prestige because you end up using the same weapons over and over to get through the grind without having fun with some of the "lesser" weapons. This is great news for this guy. Customizable emblems? I did kind of miss all the porn and beastiality emblems in MW3 that Blops had....

I only liked Prestige so I could go and try different weapons than before.  That and if you want a few extra slots for custom classes.  With that said, I usually stop at the 2nd time.
