Call of Duty 6 Perk Ideas – v2

February 25th, 2009


>> discuss it more in the forum <<

The post below was originally written for COD6.org

The reason I made a version two of this post is because of the MASSIVE popularity of the original. The blog post had 200 comments and the forum post has 14 pages. The topic of which perks will be in Modern Warfare 2 is clearly an important subject, so here we go again with round 2 of the discussion.

Don’t forget to stop by the forum if you get a chance. And yes, I know the header is F’d up and I’m working on that issue…

—————————–

The other post I made a couple weeks ago is totally over loaded with replies. It has almost 200 comments on the blog post plus however many pages on the forum thread. Clearly this topic is one that’s important to people, so I made this post with a better and longer list.

Eventually I’d like to put all the perk ideas into a poll and let users vote on which one they like the best, then maybe we can forward the results to IW.

Before you do anything, check out the official IW idea page. You can submit your ideas directly to Infinity Ward.

#1- FIRST AND FOREMOST

FOR THE SAKE OF ALL THAT IS NOT NOOBISH, PLEASE GET RID OF MARTYDOM. PLEASE. I mean for gods sakes, at least with noobstand you have to use SOME SORT of skill to shoot people. Martyrdom is just a terrible perk that was invented by the devil. Every time a noob gets a martyrdom kill, god kills a kitten. You don’t hate kittens do you IW devs? For the sake of the kittens, make it stop!

Bring Back the Friends Feature

Treyarch, bless their little hearts, tried their best with WaW, the friends feature is one of the few good things they managed to get done. Bring the friends option back but I’d like to have an option to be alerted when a friend comes online or enters a server.

Better Stats

Can’t we get some sort of stats tracking that would give you your global rank? Almost like an online AWSTATS only for Call of Duty. I’d love to know what my global rank is…I wonder if I’m in the top 5,000? Top 10,000? I think Battlefield has this but I’m not sure because I only play COD.

More Weapon Attachments / More Combos

The ability to use a combo like ACOG + Silencer. This could possibly cause balance issues for the devs, I don’t know, but it would be cool. Also just more attachments in general to choose from.

Reduce Recoil

This perk would make the AK47 completely SICK. I suspect the devs would run into some balance issues with this perk. But still a nice idea.

Monkey: ability to climb trees

Awesome idea IMO. Would be great for sniping too. I played on a few custom maps where you could climb trees and it was really fun. I’d love to see this. A more interactive environment would be awesome.

Destructible Environment

I think this is a great idea. It’s kind of silly when you call an airstrike on a little tiny shack and the shack protects you from like 3 x 500LB bombs. If they don’t make walls destructible with things like nades and launchers, at least make them destructible when an airstrike is called ya know? Unless there are no airstrikes in COD6 in which case disregard this entire post.

Pick Up Grenades and Flashes

Makes good sense, you can pick up guns and ammo, why not flashes and nades?

Increase Running Speed Perk (not stamina)

A perk for being able to run faster. Would be nice for people who like to knife and use shotty.

Something after 7 kills

Personally I’d like to see one more thing, perhaps a nice little something at like 15 kills. It kind of sucks to get to 15+ in a row and have nothing to look forward to. Even something at 20 would be cool.

Play Dead

Previously discussed, self explanatory.

Control the heli + able to be killed while in the heli

“After you get a 7 kill streak and call your chopper you will be the one actually responsible for kills. You are the machine gunner. Your helicopter cannot be shot down but you can be shot off of the mounted machine gun. Once you are shot your helicopter flys away.” Idea pulled from this post on the forum.

Character Customization

There should be a little more customization to the characters than just weapons, everyone is different. I mean for each side (green and red) there should be certain outfits you can choose from. Or instead of doing that, have options for Clans to make their own uniform from head to toe. Example- You join a clan you gain options to have custom fittings for your character, and you unlock more as more of the people in the clan ranks get higher and higher, you get more options. And the Clan leader chooses the colors and symbol for the clan. Maybe you unlock more things as you reach a prestige.

Remove eavesdrop

Nobody uses it, it’s probably the most non-used and worthless perk there is. At least on PC, dunno about consoles. Just seems like a wasted slot where something better could be.

Laser Beam Sights

They have the beams in single player of COD4, dunno why they didn’t add it to MP too.

360 / PC / PS3 Compatible

I know, I know. Everyone is going to start screaming that it’s impossible, it’s not impossible and I’m sick of hearing that. There should be some sort of OPTION, so I can play with my friends across all platforms. I understand the mouse gives me an advantage, I understand my graphics card gives me an advantage. Like I said before, if we can send men to the moon I’m pretty sure we can give the players the ability to play with their buddies across platforms. If IW makes this happen I will buy all the devs hookers form the bunny ranch and have them shipped to the IW headquarters. Make it happen! I want to shoot my friends in the face and then teabag them! ;D

Better Sniper Zoom

A perk that allows the sniper rifle to zoom in 2X or maybe even 3X like in Counter Strike Source.

OK that’s all for tonight, I can’t sift through anymore of the ideas. I have 200 comments in the blog post and 14 pages on the forum. Maybe I’ll update this post again tomorrow.

    ok..here is a couple of ideas
    - two attachments, but replaces the 2nd perk
    - bigger maps but also small ones
    - deployable LMG
    - MORE WEAPONS AND PISTOLS
    - a anti-noobtube perk like flakjacket, for explosions
    - please….no silenced snipers…horrible idea
    - co-op campaign
    - able in call tanks in at
    - something like a sling attachment were it like increases accuracy or hip-firing, like steady aim
    - reinforcements call-in like at a 10-15 kill streak, for example tanks?
    - keep juggernoob and matrydom…everyone got there own playing style some own with juggernoob (i dont use it), double tab, slight hand, etc…plus makes the games fun
    - please reply to my ideas

    they did the multi platform thing b4 not sure what game but they stoped it besause the pc plays get such a big advantege

  3. July 29th, 2009 at 04:14 | #3

    We need more HAND GUNS!!!!! every time COD comes out we only get 4 or 5 HAND GUNS!! why???? there a so many hand guns in the world its crazy that you only get 2 pick between 4 or 5….. some weather changes would be a great idea….it could just start 2 snow mid game or rain….and players would have 2 adjust 2 the change…..again a sniper does not need a silencer that is some noob BS…. people camp so much on these COD games…a silencer would be all these campers need to light their camp fire and make smores

  4. July 29th, 2009 at 12:10 | #4

    i think they should bring out a perk that wen u get a 15 kill streak u can go around raping ur enemies and if it is hardcore u can rape ur teammates :P .

    Glitching choas you might wanna get that checked out… scary

  6. July 30th, 2009 at 13:20 | #6

    i think you should be aloud jet packs

  7. hxczuner
    July 31st, 2009 at 21:03 | #7

    I’m pretty sure more killstreak bonuses are already a fact (look at the new mp trailer) The monkey thing would be sweet; honestly anything that you could/would do in a real war situation should be doable in-game. I realize that that’s a hell of a lot of detail but i think you should be able to enter any building, climb trees, shoot through thin-ish walls, REALISTIC BODY DAMAGE! ( if i shoot someone in the leg their ability to walk (or at least run) should be hampered.)
    A lot more customization would be sweet too

    Sorry I didn’t mean for this to get so long…

  8. August 1st, 2009 at 03:57 | #8

    good ideas.the multiple attachments should be perk 3 or 1,i dont want to have to choose between stopping power/attachments perk because perk 2 has all the best stuff in it,plus i like the idea of 75 headshots as blue tiger.red tiger for 150 headshots.and maybe 250 could be golden(this is for every gun).thats what i would like

  9. August 1st, 2009 at 03:57 | #9

    @Terrell terrels comment about smores made me pee my pants haha

  10. ThaTMan7
    August 1st, 2009 at 03:58 | #10

    i think cod6 will need more hand guns like 10 or 15 because when cod comes out only 5 hand guns wtf nd cod6 needs more combos like ACOG nd SILENCER nd i hate that you put rifle grenade on a rifle or bolt action rifle nd you dont have perk 1 the have 2 fix that 4 cod6 nd take out the perk eavesdrop that perk sucks nobody use that perk they could change that perk nd put a better one nd if they put a perk 4 with good stuff on cod6 it will be sweetand please be more realistic nd DROPSHOT for ever on COD5 baby!

  11. ThaTMan7
    August 1st, 2009 at 04:01 | #11

    nd maybe a little more customization maybe like you can customize your fighter that will be sweet and sorry 4 writing that much

  12. JonAATKO
    August 1st, 2009 at 18:40 | #12

    definately weather changes .. .. how about day to night change the longer the game goes on .. customization is also a big hit !!

  13. Samtheemanxx
    August 2nd, 2009 at 03:35 | #13

    I think that maybe there should be a game mode that is snipers only. But you could still play any game mode just no machine guns etc. Anyone think this is a good idea?

  14. themadnutter
    August 2nd, 2009 at 21:23 | #14

    there is in fact more kill streak bonus new mutiplayer vid relesed and after 11 kill you will be controlling an AC130

  15. chrissy
    August 4th, 2009 at 12:22 | #15

    i saay get a perk on perk 3 which allows u to have 2 perks on class 1 or 2 on 1 gun if that makes sence, so ya still have 3 perks, just 2 off perk 1 or 2 and 1 on the other which will leave none on perk 3 :)
    good idea ?

  16. chrissy
    August 4th, 2009 at 12:24 | #16

    thats stupid@Jude

    yea i justs wacked off to the trailer thought id share

  18. MPN9491
    August 6th, 2009 at 04:37 | #18

    What about a perk that allows you to make further grenade throws? Or something where you could change how your gun fires, from single shot, semi, to full out automatic. I saw this one on YouTube. A decoy perk where if there is a radar or you shoot, two dots come up, one is yours, and the other is some random location still inbounds. I also had this idea, although rather tricky. If head shotted, and watching the kill cam, it would show the last bullet in slow motion hitting you in the face. Headshots only though. And on 360 people use eavesdrop. It is rather useful, since it tells you if a person is near, and acts as a recon plane in your position, although you don’t know where they exactly are.

  19. MPN9491
    August 6th, 2009 at 04:42 | #19

    Sorry for posting so much, but I have one more idea. What if there was a perk, like Bomb Squad, but instead you either defused the bomb, or just bypassed it safely without it blowing up. With bomb squad, I can see claymores, but I sometimes can’t shoot them, and I’ve run out of grenades. Plus, it’d give you an element of surprise. I’d say you’d unlock it at prestige level or way up there. Good idea?

  20. themadnutter
    August 6th, 2009 at 08:09 | #20

    the ranking systom needs a fix theres nothing to look forward to plz ppl after this post give idea’s to how they can make it more exciting and fun

  21. Oo MK o CFC oO
    August 9th, 2009 at 11:56 | #21

    I think having acog and silencer would be great like everyone else says …… Also having a perk 4 and a few more additional perks ….. Some people mentioned something after a 7 kill streak like you could switch the heli to a 15 kill streak and you are able to control it and a 7 kill streak could be that you control a tank and it lasts until the fuel runs out unless someone blows it up with an RPG or C4. Thanks

    August 9th, 2009 at 23:23 | #22

    they need to hav attachments for the hand guns as well id realy lik to c dat

  23. Jake
    August 9th, 2009 at 23:24 | #23

    the need to hav a faster way to rank up

  24. Plaguesociety
    August 9th, 2009 at 23:57 | #24

    The idea of having all platforms being able to play with each other is a good idea BUT it will cause serious problems along the way down. look at it this way on the computer match i played people glitched the system to have 6 air strikes hit the entire map this would allow the PC’s to have more of advantage

  25. Plaguesociety
    August 9th, 2009 at 23:59 | #25

    the reduced recoil perk idea will result in an balance issue if your having a hard time with recoil just tap the trigger like shooting a pistol, G3, or a M14

  26. Plaguesociety
    August 10th, 2009 at 00:03 | #26

    the climbing tree perk sounds good but there might be issues with what players do after they get up there. Like hopping to the top of a building or finding a way out of the map. there is an issue in COD4 already with glitching this might encourage the idea.

  27. Plaguesociety
    August 10th, 2009 at 00:05 | #27

    Martydom first comment i read said that it is noobish but think of it this way is it any more noobish then the M16? think about that

  28. Plaugesociety
    August 10th, 2009 at 00:26 | #28

    @Jake
    if you want to rank up faster play headquarters or search and destroy instead of Domination and team death match

  29. Plaugesociety
    August 10th, 2009 at 00:45 | #29

    its has been tossed back and forth the support awarded after 7 kills, to be honest some ideas sound off, like controlling a machine gun on a helicopter? really. Think of it this way the reason you get nothing after 7 kills is checks and balances, not everyone can get a 7 streak easily. and the more an enemy gets a support perk it just makes it harder so your chances decrease if there was something after 7 kills then the chances for an adverage gamer to even get a 5 streak will be a pain in the ass

    this is my last one i might have pissed some of you readers off if i have in anyway i am sorry but there are reasons to why things aren’t put into games i wanted to make the points clear.My last thing is the PLAYING DEAD ummm…..it just another name for a UAV Jammer prone player i it doesn’t work for you then don’t do it out in the open have some sense. Thank you for reading my comments

    August 16th, 2009 at 03:23 | #31

    Two attachments, it shud b a tier 3 perk cuz everyones wuld be usin silencer + reddot instead, this way, u have 3 different combintaions

    if u die by Marty, ur as much of a noob as the user of it…

    they shuld add more side arms

    make RPD the RPK

    Sleight of hand shud increase everything, (i.e. grenade throwing, bomb planting, etc…)

    add waaaaaaaaaay more ARs n SMGs

    lil bit bigger maps

    HAVE A HARDCORE TEAMTACTICAL!!! THAT WULD B SOOOO FUCKING A-MA-ZING!!!

    customizable ghillys

    a tier one perk that gives u 1 c4 n 1 claymore,

    play dead perk :D (ok, this is my explanation, in regular gamemodes u have 100 health, when that reaches 75, u fall down for up to 5 seconds(u do loser ur killstreak tho))

    bipod attachment for sniper, which decreases sway.. ohlala…

    increased zoming attachment for sniper

    have something so even people in a party can c where u r gonna plant the bomb( i thought of a mapmarker u can place when u have the bomb in search)

    changable weather condition.

    ill think of sum more 2mrow..

  32. Jim
    August 16th, 2009 at 05:11 | #32

    what i want to see is the use of guests and you should be able to play live with more than one person…splitscreen live like halo.

    August 20th, 2009 at 01:14 | #34

    @jed no one uses eavsdrop on consoles either. the only time ive ever seen it used is when playin cops and robs in private thats it. i agree its basicly pointless but they might as well keep it cuz just having the perk be there isnt really hurting the others if u catch me…

  35. jerm
    August 20th, 2009 at 01:17 | #35

    a yea and they shud sure as shit put in custom guys. itd be sick if i cud give my guy a ushanka or a beret, somethin like that

  36. ray
    August 20th, 2009 at 07:47 | #36

    I think eavsdrop is healpful .FOr ya know search an d destroy and team tactincal. I dont get why some people dont think no one uses it.

  37. avenger?
    August 23rd, 2009 at 21:40 | #37

    what if you had a perk that was a ballistic nife that shot out for an insta kill, even if u had jugg?

  38. avenger?
    August 23rd, 2009 at 21:49 | #38

    i had another idea, what if there was a game mode called “v.i.p” where evry bofy has to capture the other teams vip, who only has a nife,and return him to the base . and evry body had a tazer?

    For me guys and girls I think the knife should be made less deadly. Just me though. What I would like to see is a multiplayer on line matchs handguns only,and knives only. I think that would be great. I dont much snipe but if they add a silencer to it they should decrease the power of the rifle and make it where you have to be a true marksmen. Laser sights for hand guns not rifles. I’m going to get shit from this but eliminate the little x you get when you hit some one with a bullet. a thermal scope fore snipers, make it like 200-250 kills to unlock. we have claymores so how bout a trip proxiemty mine you can atach to walls. emp’s that can knock out uav’s and or uav jammers. make it a kill streak thing or maybe if you die too many times, you get it lol. Have a perk bigger clip sizes, not more ammo just more ammo in the clip. explosive tipped bullets. infared atachment for guided airstrikes. sorry this was long. cant wait to blow some shit up. and but a few caps. later.

    August 26th, 2009 at 13:25 | #40

    In my opinion, you should be allowed more perks in general. For example instead of 3 perks you could have for so on someone’s sniper class they could have claymore 2x, stopping power, deep impact, and climb trees, or if it were me, i’d have bandolier, stopping power, steady aim, and the ability to climb trees, but thats my opinion

  41. XledzeppelinX666
    August 26th, 2009 at 13:26 | #41

    @avenger?
    in the begining of the game, how would we kno who the V.I.P was?

  42. rich
    August 26th, 2009 at 16:46 | #42

    dont overpower 1 gun, treyarch failed epicly with the MP40

    August 28th, 2009 at 19:39 | #43

    This article is awful. The only thing on this that I agree with is getting rid of martyrdom. Everything mentioned in this article would turn the game into a deathfest, not a killfest, a deathfest. Playing dead? More attatchments? More killstreak bonuses? Climbing trees? These are all terrible ideas. COD4 was nearly perfect with the exception of a few lame perks, other than that, leave it, it’s perfect. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

  44. Matt
    August 28th, 2009 at 20:06 | #44

    @Samtheemanxx
    I like that idea. But I think they could make it like a “dodge ball” type game restrictions… There could be a line on the map that no one can cross. And Team A is on one side of it, whereas, team B is on the other side of the map. And it could just be a snipe skill challenge game mode…. Tall buildings, undergrowth. I think that’d be pretty cool

  45. Bloodfire
    August 28th, 2009 at 23:06 | #45

    I think onceyou get 12-15 kill your player gets every perk on the game until they die.

  46. Ryan
    August 30th, 2009 at 22:17 | #46

    I Love all these ideas really wish they would happen it would make so many ppl happy and playing accross platforms would be the best thing ever too bad prob none of this will happen just like any other cod they made but who knows there may be a chance. I really wish the IW devs would look at things like this and get ppls ideas and add them into the game if good enuf or even like have ppl vote on if its a good idea or shity idea it would make everyone happy especially sense there has been so many cod’s its about time the gamers have a say make the best game ever…..

  47. Carl
    August 31st, 2009 at 23:15 | #47

    They should have perks where u could have u could have 2 perks in one category i.e blue, red, green

    1stperk: Have 2 2nd category or 3rd category perks
    2ndperk: Have 2 1st or 3rd category perks
    3rdperk: Have 2 1st or 2nd category perks.

    I think one good one combo would be
    1stperk: Have 2 2nd category perks
    2ndperk:Stopping Powerand Sleight of Hand
    3rdperk (just becuz i like it) Extreme Conditioning or whatever they’re gonna call it

  48. September 1st, 2009 at 21:54 | #48

    Yea i think they need to make it like this say 3 kill streak UAV, 5 kill streak air strike, 7 kill streak dogs, 10 kill streak helicopter, 12 kill streak tanks, and then if u go futher without dieing the u should be able to call in to at once like air strike and dogs

  49. lockieked
    September 1st, 2009 at 22:20 | #49

    i think there should be a perk where you can capture stuff faster ie capture headquarters faster and flags on domination and even plant or defuse the bomb faster in search and destroy but does not include sabotage any good?

  50. DieMonteV
    September 5th, 2009 at 17:23 | #50

    2 attachment perk

    Silenced Sniper

    Bipod LMG

    Bipod Sniper

    Remove red lines from claymores. (I use bomb squad, and you should too)

    Slight of hand increases all timed functions (i.e planting, disarming, weapon swap, reload, grenade toss, more if you think of any.)

    Willy Pete grenades (Phosphorous grenade) Acts as flash and frag mild of both, full with explosion perk.

    Grenade launcher with optional grenades.

    Lighting and weather conditions on maps, to increase the use of night vision and overall variety of play types.

    Laser attachment for aiming from hip.

    Extreme conditioning change to run longer and quicker transition to using a gun again.

    Alternate fire-types for guns (burst-fire, semi-auto, full-auto).

    Ill think of more. What do all of you think?
