1 Assault Rifle
1 SMG
1 LMG
1 Shotgun
1 Sniper Rifle
1 Perk from each of the 3 perk categories
1 lethal grenade
1 tactical grenade/equipment
We also give you about a dozen things you can spend your unlock tokens on. 1 item from each category, plus you can unlock a Wildcard with an unlock token.

You get a perk at level 5. You get equipment at level 6.

At level 7 we unlock Scorestreaks. You get 3 for free and 3 you can optionally spend unlock tokens on.

At level 8 we give you a Perk. At level 9 we give you new Scorestreak.

At level 10, we start to settle into a pattern. Their are exceptions, but the pattern is generally like this. At every major rank change, which is every 3 levels, we give you a gun and usually "something else" as a bonus for reaching a major rank change.

In general, it goes like this.

Level 10 - Weapon + Something Else
Level 11 - Equipment (either lethal or tatical).
Level 12 - Scorestreak
This pattern then repeats through all 55 levels with some minor statstical variations or bonuses when they make sense and because they math can't be perfect.
Can see noobs and boosters abusing this feature!

Treyarch has said you have to prestige to unlock everything.

I'm not so sure about this :/ It sounds good, but also sounds like it's going to be abused too easily..

How in the hell can this be "abused"? Its a, excuse my language, but a fucking level up-tree, where reaching a certain level unlocks (or allows you to unlock) a new, specific thing. How in the hell can this be "abused"? It has nothing to do with the actual IN-GAME gameplay, its what you unlock after playing. If you refer to boosting, just report them for boosting and they get banned. COD has cracked down on hacking and boosting since Black Ops.

If you mean people will host private lobbies to boost in, again, who gives a fuck? They boost by themselves, idc, neither should you. This can't be "abused" because it doesn't affect in-game. There is nothing to abuse.

Stupid stereotypical idiots and their dumb ass assumptions. -.-

Stereotypical no, assumptions no - It's not hard to see, that with these unlock tokens we can watch what we want when we want pretty much, they lock some items but many things will be unlock able at your own discretion. The wildcards could be a major malfunction, if it (excuse my language) fucks you off so much about us 'stereotypical' gamers who don't want our gaming experience ruined by making 'dumb ass assumptions' why feel the need to comment?!

Just for the record my previous post wasn't an assumption, it was merely me questioning myself and maybe hear some input from others on the actual 'topic' not you telling me your life story on how much you gripe people who throw a suggestion in the dam air.... I'm not ranting at you just saying. I wasn't assuming just pondering.

I'd like to apologize for coming off as an ass. I was in a foul mood after work haha. Anyways, back to the topic, please point out how it will be abused. I still don't see it. "We can watch what we want when we want" doesn't make any sense in what I've learned of the English language when applied to this game and our current conversation, so please, do explain, and wildcards aren't bad at all? They allow you to make a few extra changes at the added cost of a second allocation point and unlock token -- that way, it can't be abused. I still see no abuse-filled features here.

Apology Accepted, aha my mistake on the watch XD Basically as you probably well know in Black Ops 2 we have a bunch of stuff thrown at us at level 4. Then as we progress up our talent/leveling tree we unlock other various stuff, well stuff we can unlock. Now my point was/is if COD allow the user to unlock a certain attachment or weapon, maybe killstreak too early. < Now you're probably thinking, yeah maybe but it's unlikely they'll allow this to happen due to past COD titles > You'd be right to in thinking that, but it's still something I don't want to arise :( I'm not to keen on the red dot sight that highlights other players as it is. *BUT there is a way to counter it, so I have faith and hopefully Black Ops 2 won't be abused. Boosters don't bother me too much as I never play FFA anyways.

Hacking does but I really feel in MW3 they nailed down with it and hopefully very similar in BO2. I understand your point fully when saying you can't see how it'd be abused, this is what I wanted someone to say 'I can't see how it'd be abused' so I know I'm not the only one thinking it, but at the same time I'm just questioning if the possibility could be there.

*On a side note does anyone know if there will be any form of perk such as - Juggernaut (damage Reducer/More Health) Last Stand/Final Stand or Matrydom? I've been looking but didn't catch much would greatly help! :P
