This is an awesome idea posted by one of my friends. I'd really appreciate it if you go over there and give your thoughts.
I'll quote it here but if you have anything really benificial to say post it on the Black Ops forum

Inspired by Arkham Asylum, I had an idea to improve CoD multiplayer. A variation bonus for killing via different method, ie, stabbing then grenading then shooting.
Start by shooting someone with primary gun: no bonus
Then stab someone: +50 variation bonus
Then grenade someone: +100 variation bonus
Then grenade someone else: Lose running variation bonus.
The idea is that it's meant to help stray people away from hiding in hotspots with their guns just waiting on others, it'd (hopefully) encourage them to make the most of their equipment, get better with their secondary guns, just generally make it a more all round experience.
Obviously you'd have to incorporate a limit of some sort, say +200, and prevent multi kills (say 2 with 1 grenade) from stopping the variation count (half second delay?), but I think it's a pretty solid idea that would really benefit the community, and I can't imagine the code being that difficult either. Also would need to find ways of preventing people abusing it and such, lots to consider, maybe reduce the bonus to +25 increments if it seems too much.
I created this account to make the suggestion, hence the post count. I hope you can all see passed it.
If you like the idea, or have any additional suggestions, post away. Please rate the thread with your opinion
