TLDR version: Dedicated servers, lean, possibly a bare bones mode.

Sounds good. Maybe I'll end up buying another CoD after all.

Re: Treyarch's Community Summit

They didn't elaborate, but in the past it has referred to no perks/killstreaks/attachments. I.e. like CoD1/UO/2

Bunting: "The game as a whole, is not going to be hardcore or casual. The game as a whole is going to offer something for everybody. This doesn't mean we're watering down the game. There's some aspect of the game that everyone is going to like. The hardcore guys will like the tactical features, for example.

We're even talking 'playlists' for hardcore old-school gamers, who want the old school style. They don't want the new style."

Vahn: Say the word. Say the word. Say the word! SAY THE WORD!! BARE BONES BABY!!! Let's go!

The only way you will really ever appeal to the super-competitive set is to give those people the game rules that appeals to them. Let them go in that world and do their thing and everyone else can enjoy the broader, more social, noob-friendly experience. That's how you solve that thing.

The concept of "Bare Bones" came up a lot in the little side meetings that occurred with individual devs during our stay at Treyarch. There are many console gamers, like Mattks (from weplaycod.com), who are leading the effort to have a "Bare Bones" modes that removes all the post-CoD:UO bells-and-whistles that have been tacked onto the game in efforts to catch the eye of the casual player.

The "Bare Bones" movement in the console community is starting to catch on. Of course, if we are allowed to mod the game (unranked servers), this is a moot point for the PC crowd...our modders will bare their own bones.
