Treyarch explains the new create-a-class mode in the upcoming shooter.
David Vonderhaar from Treyarch explained the Black Ops 2′s progression system which is a pattern. There will be 55 levels and the amount of XP to reach the final level is comparable to the first Black Ops game. The ‘create-a-class’ option can be unlocked at level four, when the player receives the following items to play with:
- 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
- Level 5: Perk
- Level 6: Equipment
- Level 7: Scorestreak (3 free and 3 optional ones to unlock with tokens)
- Level 8: Perk
- Level 9: Scorestreak
Vonderhaar said: “At level 10, we start to settle into a pattern. There 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.”
