What exactly can we learn from the stream? Vonderhaar took us through the many of the game's core aspects: weapons, perks and even maps. Also shown off was “CoDCaster” mode, a new feature that will debut in Black Ops 2. It will allow players to watch live and pre-recorded gameplay, from the perspective of a commentator. In addition, the viewer will have access to the map overview, scoreboard, HUD elements, the picture-in-picture feature and even the team chatter; you have full control over everything you see and hear.

Check out the replay of the stream below:

I didn't watch with sound, so I was a little confused. Is there a new method to winning the game modes or were the game modes running to time limits just for this event? I noticed that all the matches didn't end when a specific score was reached they all ended at the end of the time limit. Did they explain this at all?

i thought the contract was already renewed?

Map design changes so far it looks like the same idea as black ops. Maybe they changed some things but still looks the same to me.

I know that was in reference, but all the other times ms have partnered we have had the crappy dlc deal, so why would it change?

Horrible looking game omg I gave every single one of them a chance, MW3 was a last part of my nerves, I'm done with this franchise they are not improving since mw2, they are money-concentrated I bet bf3 will beat the shit out of the whole franchise damn that sucks I hoped they'll improve but.. damn.

looks like ass

Xbox always comes first for every CoD lol.
