Ghost (Perk 1)
If you read this far, you'll see above that the Ghost perk will be the last unlock available to players. Not a bad move by Treyarch to ensure that everyone experiments with the other perks first before automatically choosing Ghost, no? Of course, seeing as how most Call of Duty die-hards reach max level in a day or two, I expect people to be sporting the Ghost perk in just a few days.
Keep in mind that while the max level is 55, Black Ops 2 will employ the now-standard Prestige mode that's prevalent in Call of Duty games. What's better here is that in Black Ops 2, opting for Prestige won't reset your gear but will, instead, offer you alternative rewards for going that route.
Do you know what loadout you'll be using in Black Ops 2's multiplayer? Hopefully this list will aid you in your quest to Prestige and "pwn" some "noobs."
Black Ops 2 is set for release on November 13 (tomorrow for some!) for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3, with the Wii U version arriving later on November 18.
