CoD: Ghosts Perk Details Released

Infinity Ward has announced details of the Perks system for Call of Duty: Ghosts, explaining how they will work, how to unlock them and some examples of the 35 perks that will be available to use to customise loadouts

In the loadout menus players will be allocated 8 points to use to spend on Perks, each of which have a cost of between 1 to 5 points. However, the amount of points available to spend can be increased to 12 if the decision is made to remove a piece of equipment, with each removal adding an extra point. If all equipment is removed then you would start a match with a knife and your equipped perks.
