With Ghosts being bland and boring, I took to Twitter. My friends and I (mostly me) came up with this.
-Dedicated servers
-PROPER SUPPORT (updates, patches, etc)
-BO1 sniping
-Snipers that only killed with shots to the body out to a range of 25m
-No semi-auto shotguns or snipers
-20 fan-voted ARs
-15 fan-voted SMGs
-10 fan-voted LMGs
-10 fan-voted sniper rifles
-7 fan-voted shotguns
-5 fan-voted handguns (no burst weapons)
-4 fan voted lethals (no IEDs, Betties, or Claymores)
-4 fan voted tacticals (no EMP, 9-bang, or motion sensor)
-Knifing similar to BO2 or BF4
-No free fire launchers or noob-tubes
-Separate 10v10 playlists for each mode in Ground War, 12v12 War, TDM, Dom, BO2 Kill Confirmed, HQ, SnD, CtF, 10v10 Cranked, Hardpoint, and League Play
-Matchmaking that can deteremine ping, location, bandwidth, and if you're in a
party or not (VERY POSSIBLE)
-Less or no points for collecting a friendly tag in Kill Confirmed
-Dead Eye, BO1 tac mask, Unlimited Sprint + BO2 perks and attachments (no target finder)
-Battlefield-like sound engine with less soundwhoring
-Ghosts perk system
-25 gunkill MOAB/ KEM, 35 gunkill Nuke (game ender)
-BO2 scorestreak system
-30 fan-voted streaks
-No support class
-Ability to have different streaks for each class
-15 Create-A-Class Slots. 5 to start and one per prestige
-Ability to reset stats once per 24hrs of IN-GAME time
-Gem Stone camos (ie Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald) alongside gold and diamond
-Party stats and solo stats added to combat record
-Harsher waiting penalties for dashboarding and timing out (15min, 30min, 1hr, 2hrs, 4hrs)
-Instabans for hacking of any kind
-Raid, Bog, Favela, Wet Work, Meltdown, BO1 Firing Range, Terminal, Dome, Backlot,
Makin (day and night), Summit, Highrise, Rust, Strikezone, BO1 Nuketown, Afghan, Skidrow, Scrapyard, Sub Base, and Freight as Vanilla maps.
-5 maps for comp voted by the "pros"
-5 fan-voted maps and 1 fan-voted weapon per DLC.
This is how I feel COD should end. A game like this could easily become the next CS 1.6/1.7. People would play this for years.
