They kicked the event off with a presentation and then everyone that attended got the chance to play the game. There was no live stream of the actual presentation but it was recorded and will be available online in a few days or so.
They announced that you will be able to unlock weapons and other items with "CoD Points" and have introduced a new addition called "Contracts". Contracts is similar to challenges from previous games and rewards players with more CoD Points once they have completed a certain task.
In an attempt to get Single Player fans and those who don't particularly like or aren't good at multiplayer, they have introduced "Combat Training". This allows the player to play on his own or with a mate in a game with only AI controlled bots. The main aim is to simply give players the experience and confidence that they need on the battlefield.
A new game mode is "Wager Match" which is designed for "adrenaline junkie fun". These matches are separate from the normal playlists and you can take the money that you've earned and gamble it against other players. It features four modes which are "One in the Chamber", "Sticks and Stones", "Gun Game" and "Sharp Shooter".
In One in the Chamber everyone spawns with only a pistol, you must kill the enemy and then receives their bullet but if you miss then you're left with just your knife. In Sticks and Stones you only have a crossbow, ballistic knife and a tomahawk and if you kill the enemy with a tomahawk then you reset their money. In gun game you are given a series of progressive and once you kill someone you are given a better weapon, the person who is first to progress through all the weapons wins but if you get knifed then you get sent back one tier. In Sharp Shooter everyone spawns with the same randomly selected weapon which you get to use for a certain period of time, when the period is other than everyone gets a new weapon, each kill gives a perk and then eventually a scoring multiplier.
