COD Ghosts stuff..

New perks system: http://kotaku.com/heres-how-perks-will-work-in-call-of-duty-ghosts-1138263278 - sounds similar to Black Ops 2's overall create-a-class setup where they basically give you a set number of points, and each perk/weapon is worth x-amount of points. Except in Ghosts this is only with Perks, apparently.

Female soldiers will be playable in multi-player mode this year: http://kotaku.com/call-of-duty-ghosts-features-female-soldiers-in-multip-1137930238

New Modes:

Two Modes Offer New Twists on Call of Duty's Multiplayer

"Cranked" and "Search and Rescue" will join the playlist in Call of Duty: Ghosts' multiplayer this year, offering variants on the game's team deathmatch staples.

As discussed at today's multiplayer event in Los Angeles, in Cranked, a kill will boost a player's speed and other attributes but it'll also start a countdown clock; get another kill before it expires or your player will be blown up.

Search and Rescue is a team mode that allows downed teammates to be revived. Players who shot down drop a dogtag; if a teammate picks it up, they'll be revived. If an enemy picks it up, they're killed.

Also, Squads:

Infinity Ward has fully revealed the Squads mode it teased last week for Call of Duty: Ghosts.

As revealed in Infinity Ward's Call of Duty live stream today, Squads lets players take the squads of soldiers created in multiplayer and carry them into Squads mode for use in single-player, cooperative multiplayer or competitive multiplayer battles. Playing in Squads will earn players XP that will apply to multiplayer, so players will rank up and unlock additional weapons and equipment.

Squads modes revealed so far include Squad vs. Squad, which lets you and your Squad face an opponent and their Squad, and Squad Assault, which lets players fight against another player's Squad even when they're offline. Safeguard will let players fight against waves of enemies with their Squad.

More on Squads:

The Latest Call of Duty Sends You a Squad to Fight With—or Against
Multiplayer in Call of Duty: Ghosts will introduce the "Squad," a group of up to ten soldiers with unique loadouts and appearances, with one level of prestige per character. These guys will also join you, as AI teammates—or adversaries—in a new mode called, of course, Squads.

This video does all of the explaining, but the feature sounds really cool. Their behavior will change based on the loadout they're given, too. Fighting in Squads will earn you XP the same as any other multiplayer mode, too.

New Killstreaks:

There are over 20 new killstreaks coming to Call of Duty: Ghosts—and yes, Riley, your trusty attack dog, makes an appearance. And like in previous Call of Duty games, you can earn also Killstreaks via things other than just kills.

Oh, and—no more deathstreaks, and there are also fewer air-based killstreaks.

Stats transfer cross-generation (not cross-platform):

Call of Duty: Ghosts stats will transfer fluidly across Xbox One and Xbox 360, or PS4 and PS3, Infinity Ward announced during its livestream event today. Individual profiles will transfer from current-gen to next-gen consoles, and vice versa. Ghosts profiles will not be transferrable across console families.

Squads sounds fun, but I really hope that losing with the AI controlling you/your Squad doesn't fuck up your score or anything.

Fewer air-based killstreaks is a major plus.

I think Squads is a separate mode outside of the core MP mode. Sounds more like a revised version of the co-op mode with some competitive flavour added in.
