keep waw perks except for:
last stand, juggernaut, and martydom.
NO DEATH STREAKS!!! OMFG CANT STRESS THIS OUT ENOUGH NO DEATH STREAKS, IN ANY GAME MODE PERIOD.
NO PRO PERKS! i hate one man army, danger close and comando
if you are going to have killstreaks set at 3, 5 and 7 (im hoping you will at least have them in a seperate playlist) then make sure theres no hardline!
bouncing bettys were good but they need to have a longer time to explode after they are triggered. im thinking half a second.
all i can think off right now please post something similar for killstreaks, guns etc

Is it me or do a majority of these replies want to drastically reduce features in this game?  No this, no that...  There needs to be options for all players of all skill levels or else you have built yourself a very one dimensional game.

I agree. It seems that way. I think one of the best things about MW2 is the amount of diversity in all the attachment options, equipment, perks, and pro perks. If you take MW2 perks and pro-perks you're basically looking at 32 different perks. Throw in Equipment (7) and all the attachments, that makes for a ton of diversity. As great as COD4 and WaW were, when I go back and play them, it does feel very one dimensional. I absolutely loved both of those games and put hundreds of hours into each. However, MW2 has raised the bar for me (and millions of others) and it's hard for me to go back and play the previous games because MW2 has so much to offer.

Damn, late to the discussion, haha.

For a start, ONLY get rid of perks that give players a ridiculous advantage, the main two being Commando and One Man Army. These are the only two perks from MW2 that were way too exploitable. Commando's range and auto-aim teleportation bull**** was stupid. And One Man Army gave individuals WAY too much firepower - claymores and GL grenades could be refilled in a matter of seconds.

I'm not sure whether I think equipment should take up a perk slot or not, like in WaW. I liked the way both MW2 and WaW did it. Perhaps it best to just make all equipment take up a perk slot? So you can pick SECONDARY grenades separately, but your primary slot for equipment is decided in Perk Slot 1 - everything from grenades to mines, or whatever. Attachments will be separate.

Perks like Stopping Power and Juggernaut are somewhat awkward I feel. I don't know what I would do with them. I think they should both probably be taken out completely, just to prevent any further imbalances.

Perks that protect you from things, like Flak Jacket or Shades and whatnot are fine, if not even a little underpowered for a whole perk (look into this).

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT - Perks that give you a different kind of benefit like Dead Silence, Sleight of Hand, Scavenger, Cold-Blooded, Danger Close, SitRep, Bling, Steady Aim, Hardline and Scrambler are the BEST KINDS OF PERKS. I think this because they give you just a nice little advantage over the other players. Nothing that can be exploited - they're just a solid, physical advantage that is CONSTANT.

That's not to say you should just re-use all the good perks that we've had over previous CoDs. I'd love to see some new, creative ones.

Also, I don't care about the exact number of perks that are in - just give us a decent amount. I would guess (and judging by this poll) that most people on this board are the kinda players who think perks and killstreaks and all that ruined CoD. I disagree. The variety and depth of customisation is what attracts far more people - having options is good. Just give us a good amount of perks so that there are a decent amount of cominations, else we'll just get a load of the same classes running about.

Some perks Like sitrep and Scrambler were simply pointless.

Speak for yourself regarding Sitrep/Sitrep Pro. I think this is one of the best perks in the game. Especially, the Pro version. All those annoying Commando guys sound like a heard of elephants.

Too bad that a few overpowered perks are used FAR more often than others.  Diversity means nothing when one option clearly outshines all the others.
