No perks, but it will have new benefits. 

You can QS with Assassin and Steady Aim. You don't need Quick Draw to Quick Scope. Duh...

I think removing the perk system would be awesome because as it is now the devs obviously can't figure out how to structure them in order to have any sort of balance. Maybe using your weapons choice as a way to gain an advantage is the way of the future. I say can perks. Pish who needs um?

do you really think the will work on two different wasy to specialize? Perks for Core and weapon spesific specialization (like in Battlefield) for Hardcore? I'm curious for further details but for now I don't believe they would come up with two different concepts because everybody would play UMP for closequarter, midrange and sniping

That's the problem with balance vs. specialization.

A group of randoms with blind eye, assasin and stalker = camping

An clan playing an objective gametype needs to specialize. Attack, defense, flank need different specialization to perform in the most effective way. Army wouldn't give an LMG to a small guy, would they?

You will get the same shortfalls you always have........a shame n all......but you know it, I know it

They are just ensuring the HC community buys it, bit of pre sale marketing
