Survival Mode Development

If you enjoy Spec Ops and Survival Mode as much as I do you'll probably find the development interesting.  I went back and watched the Jimmy Fallon preview from June 2011 and the Survival preview trailer that was released August 9, 2011.  Here are some screen shots:


"Survival challenges along with leaderboards allow you to compete against your friends..."
The challenges may be referring to the Rampage/knife streak/kill streak bonuses you can get, but there aren't many ways to compete with the challenges, so I wonder if they had something else in mind.
---------------------



The original Delta Squad symbol in the bottom right of the screen.
---------------------



Body-armor had a different symbol and was only 100 hit points at first.  The syringe to the left of it is the original self-revive symbol.
---------------------



They considered offering a lot more perks than ended up in the release.  SitRep is showing here, and it would be a useful perk, but only if you could equip more than one perk.
---------------------



The wave number was on the right side of the screen along with a timer.
---------------------



The weapon armory had 9 guns, and the price was different for each one, not like now where each gun type is priced the same.
---------------------



Self-revive was called "Last Stand" which  makes sense, and when I watch Survival videos on youtube some people still call it that.
---------------------



Predator missile for $2000.
---------------------



Helicopters had a $300 payout instead of the current $600.
---------------------




The MW2 red dot sight in a number of places throughout the video.
---------------------

Also, in the Jimmy Fallon segment it had Russian militia on Dome, but in the game Dome has African militia.

Jimmy Fallon had the Survival preview on his show in June of last year.  That's about when I would expect the first big news on Black Ops 2.
