(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay this is not to be a rant in any which way, simply the goal of this thread is to work together as a community to compile a list of everything that we can all agree on that needs a change and what would make Call of Duty: Black Ops possibly better than we already expect. This topic is meant to share helpful ideas on what new or old things should be improved apon based on what we have experienced with previous games.

If you have an idea that you think would actually be helpful than please post it and if its good I will add it to the list so that this topic can be copied to other communities i.e. treyarch so that dev's and such can get a good complete list of what we want to see, they say they listen.

Basically this is to keep everything organized so whenever we have a quick idea we can just post it here and discuss what we think.. If its good and different Ill give you credit.

Ideas (Fixes, features, etc) for Call of Duty: Black Ops:

*Updated match making system - One that actually works. It would be excellent to have it so if you have a rage quit or you hate that lobby and you leave, it will not keep putting you back in that lobby when you join the same game mode such as how it did in cod4, w@w and even in MW2. Overall just fix it please.

*Less Kill streaks - Well does not necessarily need to be less of a total greater amount but keeping the K/S simple unlike nukes and chopper gunners will prevent less of an issue with camping as players wont need to worry about getting a game ending reward. A good idea would be to stick with the 3,5,7 killstreaks but simply have multiple options to choose from for each tier. Also it would be good to have it so that every choice is balanced with another i.e:

3
UAV
Counter UAV

5
Artillery
Enemy Mark(something like where it gives you basically an invisable guy from HQ who for a short time will mark out enemies so you can easily see them)

7
Attack Chopper
Airstrike

And so on...

*Points unlock system - The more kills and the more you use your certain gun and other variables the more points you get towards each gun. You then use the points to buy and unlock the attachments, something like a silencer would cost 100 per say(not sure how hard the points would be to earn) while a round drum or extended mags would cost 600.

*Character Customization - The ability to change the skin of your player so that the appearance will be different and unique to that of other players. This would be a new feature that the COD series never incorporated even though it has been suggested several times. Allowing you to change the look of your player could show your status and how good of a player you are. Things you can change would be special camos, hats(like fedora's and general hats) and perhaps a few special outfits.

*Bringing back juggernaut - While some players will infact disagree this is an overall useful perk. While around 95% of players most of the time use stopping power that makes the difference of ONE less bullet to kill, juggernaut balances it by canceling it out, allowing you to take ONE extra bullet before you die. Should be put back into the game.

*Killstreak-less mode - Often called the "Pro mode" this would simply be a playlist that a player can join where no one is allowed to use killstreak's this would cut down camping and allow people to focus on the objectives or getting kills for a possibly more challenging type of play.

*Old school Playlist mode - Having the old school mode like cod4 had would be amazing, would allow us older players to go WAY back into time where we all start out with a pistol and have to go around collecting our weapons and gear and if we die we start back with a pistol. Would be interesting as it would only have certain guns. I believe this one would be a MUST for public matches as its basically true skill.

*Stat tracking system - Treyarch did it for World at War so why can't we have it for Black Ops? Would be neat-o to go back and see how many kills we got on each game and with what gun etc. A must have!

*In-game clan system - Not sure how it would work, possibly some sort of sub menu like instead of the clan tag option its the 'clan' option and you can invite members and if they accept their added to the list. Maybe would be useful if added with the stat tracker or some other feature.

*Best foot forward attempt to fix lag - even if it is eventually fixed(somewhat) whenever a game is released it seems to have lag, if this is not and issue when the game is released and never becomes an issue it will make the gameplay better for everyone.

*Sniper rifle fix/hitmarkers - "If I shoot you in the head than your dead!" ~The words of a 10 year old. The snipers of course should not be a one hit kill in the leg etc(maybe some gore with higher calibers possibly?) but if its upper chest and head then they should die. Would make the game a million times better for snipers.

*Bring back higher level only lobbies - Depending on what the highest rank and level will be have it so the people that have a level in the top 1/4 or so can only join. Would give more experienced players a little more of a challenge to enjoy. Would be a playlist.

Note: Coming from a person with some networking experience I know this is not 100% possible due to the latency of your connection and the targets but having a good hit detection system would still improve it.

*Change spawns - Cmon' STOP having it so there are like 5 set spawns on each map, a designed system to randomly spawn you in the best possible location, not too close to the enemy would be a great and appreciated improvement.

*FIX Matchmaking - I am sure I can speak for everybody when I say NO ONE likes to join a game that is literally a few seconds from ending and when you join your team automatically looses and YOU get a free loss. Fair? I dont think so, many people do not like to join games that already half over so it would be a great fix if it could be done where no one joins after like the first three minutes or whatever, ultimately fix the matchmaking system in general.

*Filter System - Let us have an option to fill out a filter to what type of game we want to play. Let us select if we're willing to join a game in progress, what map we want to play on, etc. Would be simple to use yet allows us to find the lobby that we want to play in. I can see it possibly causing some problems yet it will still allow the majority of people to be pleased with the game as they are playing what they want to play and could always just disable it.

*More Camo's and Secondaries Customization - Secondary Weapon challenges are most of the time harder to complete than regular primary challenges so it would be nice to earn an award such as more unlocks and camo's for our secondary weapons as well. Perhaps maybe even a different type of skin like chrome or gold perhaps?

*Un-Scoped Snipers - Back in the days of World at War we had the option to use bolt action rifles without having to use a scope attachment. This should remain the same in Black Ops as it allows for players to choose a style when using such a gun that works the best for them. Anything from no scoping and beyond, not having to use a scope can have its benefits for players who want to use a bolt action rifle, but don't necessarily want to use a 'sniper'. This should be practical as a lot of bolt action rifles back in Black Ops time frame didn't always have a scope. Personally I think this would be nice if it worked like it did in World at War for the most part.

1) They should make it where the higher a gun unlocks, the better it is.
F2000 is unlocked at lvl 60 yet you unlock the Scar-H at lvl 8.

2) Drop Danger Close/One Man Army - It's ridiculously overpowered to get unlimited grenade launches and a higher blast radius combined. Get rid of one and it will greatly decrease the amount my rage quiting and or broken controllers.

3) Make a bare bones playlist - no perks, no attachments, no killstreaks. Just you, your gun, and your pistol.

4) Try to develop an atmosphere of teamwork (like Battlefield Bad Company 2) No more Marathon Lightweight Commando loners. Perhaps an large XP bonus for the winning team that will encourage playing the objectives.

free roam while spectating
not a big thing but its fun to kill time and look around the map when you die from a randoma$$ nubetube in the first six seconds

Copy everything from CoD5 and just add on, I want the same engine, the same perks, the same "feel", zombies. All of it, CoD5 was a "history" CoD and this is too so add the best "history" CoD ever and just add on. I could go through this entire thread and make the perfect list, I might do that tomorrow. There shouldn't be any KillCam though, that's completely unrealistic and I've always hated it!

JTRaines92's Co Black Ops Official Wishlist

Character Gender: - Let us choose our gender, there are female soldiers too, allow the girls that play the game to show that they're a girl.

Character Customization: - The ability to change what our character looks like. Let us change his/her skin color, boots, clothes, glasses, hats, etc to make your player unique. This would be for multiplayer and zombie mode if they don't bring the four zombie dudes back. We should only be able to change gender, skin tone, and voice once.

Juggernaut: - If there is Stopping Power in the game there needs to be Juggernaut as the counter part. If there is no counter part most of the people will use Stopping Power and it makes it useless, either include both perks or take them both out.

Stat Tracking: - CoD5 had it, for those who don't know what it is I'll tell you. You had a code that you had to put into the CoD5 website and after you did it it allowed you to view your stats. It showed what gun you had the most kills with, how many kills you had with each gun, etc. This was a very good thing to have and they took it out for reasons unknown.

Official Clans: - Instead of having "Clan Tags" let us have an option to make clans and invite members to it. Have clan records to see who the best clan is.

Headshots: - If you shoot anyone in the head with any gun you're gonna die. That's all there is too it, add one shot on kill headshots.

Respawn System: - Make it so that your player gets randomly spawned a certain feet away from enemies. Don't make "spawn locations", make your guy spawn however feet away from danger randomly. Hope yall understand this one...

Death Streaks: - I don't mind these until you get to max level prestige or not. If you prestige, you lose them, and if your at the last level no prestige you lose them. These are meant to help "noobs" get better. If you're 10th prestige you know how to play and don't need them.

Kill Streaks: - Bring back the old kill streaks. 3, 5, 7 were the best. No one had a problem with the way they were so why change it?

Secondary Weapons: - Pistols/Handguns only please. Again, no one had a problem with this so why change it. Please bring it back.

Filter System: - Let us have an option to fill out a filter to what type of game we want to play. Let us select if we're willing to join a game in progress, what map we want to play on, etc.

Kill Cams: - Remove them, I've always thought the CoD would be the best shooting game out there if this feature was gone. It's completely unrealistic.

Zombie Mode: - Make it a story, add a story for each map and make a new one for each map. Release DLC to go further into it and keep doing it for every new CoD game you make. Give us maybe 5 zombie maps to choose from at start and then release the DLC. Or just add on the current zombie story mode.

In Game Music: - Allow us to play the music on our hard drive while we play. Some people go into a different zone while listening to music and it helps them play games.

Playlists: - Make two sets of playlists, one for regular/core and the other for hardcore. Include every game mode into both playlists so the hardcore player can play the games without having to mingle with the regular/core players.

Barebones Gametype: - A game type where you go in only with a gun, you can have classes so you can have your camo and stuff but you get no perks, deathstreaks or killstreaks.

Kick System: - When you're in-game or in the pre-game lobby, allow us to vote so we can kick people. If the voters get the majority, the player is kicked.

Lobby Mute: - Include this, we all know what it is.

Players Online: - This was in CoD5 remember? It' shows how many players are online, it was taken out for MW2 but it should be brought back.

Gun Camo: - Allow us to add camo to our secondary weapons as well.

Commando: - Remove it, it's been confirmed that this isn't in Co BO.

Noob Tubing: - Make it so you can't fire one for the first 10 seconds. They had this in CoD5 and was great. Also, add it so that if you fire one and you're close to it, it'll still fire killing you and/or the person you're shooting it at.

Prestige Rewards: - Make it so we get something for prestiging besides a new logo. Maybe give a gun to people with top level and top prestige or something like that.


Scavenger: - Make it so that when you go over a dead body you only pick up ammo for your guns if the dead player was using your same guns, make it so we pick up what they had left. So if they weren't using a noob tube or a RPG we won't get ammo for those guns.

Match-In-Progress: - Make it so before you're joining a game, they ask you something like "This game is already in progress, would you still like to join?". This would kinda go along with the filter system, read above for that.

Gore/Gib: - Bring it back. Remember in CoD5 when you would get killed by a bouncing betty and your legs would get blown off? Well that should be brought back, this game is rated M (17+) so these guys should not be adding stuff to benefit the people under 17 years of age, or mature players. Add other things that cause other body parts to fall off. Make it so if you get a headshot you can see the bullet hole in their head.

Sniper Rifles: - There should be more bolt action sniper rifles.

Semi-Auto Rifles: - Bring them back, in MW2 there is only one semi-automatic assault riffle (FAL) and not all people love to spray with an automatic gun. Personally, I like to use semi-auto guns, I use the FAL a lot and in CoD5 I only use the M1A1.

Highlight Reel/Screenshots: - Make it so we can save highlights (video) and upload them to a website or save them to our HDD. Also, apply Co BO to the screenshot feature in the XMB.

*I will update it and repost this with the new suggestions when I think of more. Later.

Hardcore Playlists Expanded
Killstreaks up to 10 Maximum
Old School or No Killstreaks Playlists
MP5 from CoD4 because the sound on that thing is delightful.

To deter camping create a new perk for the #2 slot. If you hate campers you can give up stopping or cold blooded.
If chosen, enemy players who stay within a 15 yard radius for 15 seconds, will appear on your radar as a blue dot and glow blue until they move from their position. They can't return to it for 30 seconds.
Sniper class only would have a perk 2 selection to counter this but would have no secondary weapon and shots would appear on radar as a red dot for 5 seconds.
At least some variation of this.

haven't you ever heard of hardcore

in mw2 the kill cams are the only things going for it right now lol
