Retired Mod
1. More Customization
If there was a positive point to take out of Modern Warfare 2, it was the return of customization to various aspects of the game, such as Camouflages, after they disappeared in World At War, and a series of brand new attachments players had never seen before. Best of all, was the addition of Callsigns, allowing every player to become an individual in the crowd, and created a new motive for completing challenges, a chance to 'show off' your skills. Treyarch must build on Infinity Ward's foundations - they've already confirmed a 'Create a Class 2.0', but the fanbase wants more. More technical weapon tweaks, custom camouflage, what your player looks like, more options with callsigns, all would be a very welcome addition to Black Ops multiplayer. We'll just have to see what they come up with.
2. Working Spawn System
As most of you well know, or probably have complained about in a thread somewhere on this forum, the Modern Warfare 2 spawn system was awful. Players would be trapped in an endless barrage of Chopper Gunner explosive ammo, leading to mass spawn killings. Rust was another awful map for spawns, which was bigger than Shipment, which Infinity Ward seemed to handle just fine in Call of Duty 4. So what happened? We'll never know, but lets hope Treyarch get their act together, and do a better job than Infinity Ward.
3. Weapon Balance
Just like in most Call of Duty games, a superior list of weapons soon emerge from all the rest. I'm talking the UMP45, the SCAR, and just any assault rifle in general. Snipers have become useless, as who need a real sniper, when you can just use an Assault Rifle, or even a Sub Machine Gun? Another thing, has been Infinity Ward's pure laziness. Off-centre sights, dodge silencers, weird added damage on various attachments - how!? How were these not spotted and fixed!? I certainly hope Treyarch take alot more care over their design process, as Infinity Ward's lack of it certainly shows.
4. Improved Killstreak System
The Tactical Nuke. It all seemed like a great idea at the time, but in reality, it's turned half the entire MW2 community into an angry mob. Boosters roam the servers, ruining the game for all those involved. Treyarch have already spoken of an enhanced system, so I'd love to see their ideas. Balance is another problem. Some killstreaks, you'd see in countless numbers every game, Harriers, AC130, Chopper Gunner. Others, such as the EMP, or Stealth Bomber, were very rare. Why use the Attack Helicopter over the Harrier Strike? Simply put, it's just better, that's why. Treyarch need to think up a series of balanced, yet exciting and useful killstreaks.
5. Improved Perk Design
Some perks created by Infinity Ward in Modern Warfare 2 were a great success, such as Ninja, Marathon, and Cold Blooded. Others were a disaster, namely Commando. I won't go into the details, but it was an awful, awful mistake. Death streaks were also a shocking idea, especially Pain Killer. As Gamer Crave put it, "there is a fine line between creating an accessible online experience, and rewarding poor play with a free kill". Treyarch must get this balance right, and be very cautious when adding perks of their own, and test them thoroughly, which brings me on to my next point.
6. A Beta Test
Why a beta test? Well, any mistakes that Treyarch may have made, can easily be found and fixed with the help of a Beta Test. Bugs and glitches can also be removed, before they end up in the final product, and requite weeks of patching and hotfixing to resolve. Infinity Ward's decision not to have a beta was a very poor one, and many of the awful glitches we were plagues by, probably wouldn't of existed if they did indeed have a beta.
7. Zombies
They speak for themselves....

Great thread! Too bad I heard that the return of Nazi Zombies isn't looking good, and that was from a pretty reliable source (someone who went and tested the game), but they also said you are actually going to be able to fly helicopters, but is that a good or bad thing?

Another thing: Proper Stats!!!
The stats are just made up graphs and they either need to be removed or renewed.
Sniper Rifles
Snipers should have 1 hit kills on the torso and head.
Anatomy
If you hit an artery, they should bleed out and die. The realism in damage needs to be pumped up.

Daddy's home.
I'm not sure I agree with the balance of weapons. If all the weapons did the same damage, then why have all those weapons in the game? The only thing that would matter is how the weapon looks. But there does need to be a line drawn though. I mean, why have a weapon in which damage is
----- that big and one in which damage is
----------- that big. Unless the first has a high fire rate, you will most likely loose.
Taking away stopping power would be a good suggestion in my opinion. You could have all the weapns even, but stopping power would un-even them again. Sae goes with any perk that would alter the health, such as juggernaught.
Some of the killstreaks are pointless and all have their flaws, I agree with that. The attack helicopter might get 2 kills, where as the pavelow might get 20 kills.
A horde mode would be good too. Zombies were fun. If only they made more available maps to start with instead of having to pay for them.

If that were to happen, I would sell all my consoles + video games.
