HQ blog », you will unlock all perks » at level 4. It's up to you which perk you prefer and would like to purchase first. So if you don't like ninja's... screw them and purchase Hacker instead!It really allows you to choose the way you play. Instead of being forced into using the Red Dot Sight, you can purchase the ACOG Sight when you please. Just make sure you have the money for it. Same goes for the Custom Reticles (the smiley face in your reflex sight for example), they become available for purchase for all guns once you unlock them.
Same goes for Killstreaks, which you unlock at level 10. You don't need wait for the higher killstreaks until you're a high level player, once you unlock Killstreaks you can go ahead and purchase the highest killstreak if you like. That being said, you do need the money for it... So while the killstreaks are more expensive than the earlier ones, you might need to safe up some money before you buy. But again, you don't need to waste your money on the lower killstreaks!
Earning COD Points!
How to get the money fast, you ask? That's up to you, as there are basically three ways of doing it.
- Just play the game like you were used to. It will not earn you money fast, but you will be awarded money nonetheless.
- Secondly you can easily earn a lot of money with the new Wager Matches ». You bet a set amount of COD Points to wager that you will be in the top 3 players of that game. If not, you lose your money. If you are, you will earn a big sum of COD Points.
- You can also do contracts, a new feature that's a lot like the default "do x-amount of headshots with this weapon" challenges, but with a twist. Contracts include challenges like "call in 2 napalm strikes in one match, without 40 minutes of play time". You need to buy these contracts and when you fail you loose your money. But if you complete them, you will be awarded both XP and COD Points. By the looks of it, every 24 hours you can pick from a new set of contracts.

Against many believe, you still unlock certain items while you're ranking up, like we were used to in previous Call of Duty Games. XP, ranks and prestige leaderboards are still in Black Ops. The biggest difference is that when you rank (or level) up, you unlock a full set of items that you can then purchase with COD points, the in-game currency. As Josh Olin revealed on the COHQ blog », you will unlock all perks » at level 4. It's up to you which perk you prefer and would like to purchase first. So if you don't like ninja's... screw them and purchase Hacker instead!

I already knew how the COD points system worked in tandem with the archetypal XP ranking system, but this a good thread for those who were confused about it.
