Treyarch detailed some of the brandnew multiplayer features of the shooter.
Game director David Vonderhaar from Treyarch revealed new details about deathstreaks, which have been eliminated - there's “no Second Chance; there’s no Last Stand, there’s no Final Stand”. There will only be regular streak rewards and players can’t earn more than one of a type.
“There’s no combination whatsoever of perk or deathstreak that puts the guy in the downed state in multiplayer,” he said. “It’s still used as the revival state in Zombies when you get downed. But it’s not in multiplayer – there is no perk and there are no deathstreaks, so there is no Final Stand or equivalent of it.”
“Let’s say you took UAV and Counter UAV,” Vonderhaar explained. “If you earned the UAV then earned the Counter UAV, you’re going to start building again for the UAV – but if you haven’t spent it, if you haven’t called it in or activated it, you’re not going to get a second one. You’re just going to get notified that you’re back at that part of the chain.”
“You would definitely want to activate those scorestreaks so when you loop, you’ll get them again. It’s not like Black Ops 1, which is they just keep going forever and you effectively have to die to loop. You don’t have to die to loop at any point; you’ll just keep looping.”
A new optional feature will allow players to hear the last words which were spoken by someone they have killed. “It’s an option that you can turn on and off in custom games,” he said. “We gave it a name – Revenge Voice. It’s on in public games; we can turn it off in league play if we want. We love that thing. It’s funny.”
