No perks in BO's 2 is a possability. I for 1 would love this. Whats your opinions?

That's not what he said...

... you need to read behind what was said to get to what he meant.

People are always complaining about "balance"...

... perks at their very nature tilt the game into a state of imbalance.

Making the game balanced when you have perks is not an easy thing to accomplish and are the main reason imbalance exists.

I don't really see that one happening.  If they do that I would think they would have to do away with killstreaks as well.  Without things like blind eye, or assassin to counter them this would basically become a kill streak game and everybody would camp to get them.

Sure some of them get abused and misused and can be annoying at times but do away with them?  If so that might actually be the nail in the old COD coffin.  I mean  look at barebones and all, not many people play it.  That ought to tell you something.

CoD needs to have perks, otherwise, it'd get boring fast as others have said. What this game needs is a "You want this, you have to give this up" kind of system. Splitting up the stealth perks and putting them in the SAME tier would bring this system back. CoD4, apart from the M16, had good weapon balance. The SMG's couldn't kill at long distances and had recoil (O.O). MW3 did a real crappy job at bringing the CoD4 feel back, hopefully Blops 2 or whatever brings the old style back

I stopped reading after this bit.......was laughing too much

"However, if there is one group that many think could use some more attention, it is the hardcore group. These are competition-level players who are extremely skilled at their FPS of choice."

It doesn't sound like they're going to remove perks completely, but it does sound like the perk system may end up getting an overhaul of some sort.
