*Misc*

Gambling, gamble your CP in "Wager Match" and the top three players get paid.
Customization is now in the game in the form of choosing your own camouflage and putting your own emblem on your gun.
You’ll see your character model in 3D in the customization menus.
new currency "CP" cod points
You buy the weapons you want, allowing for customization.
"Theatre" - the name of their new video recording mode
"Dive to prone" feature

The game will sport a new Combat Training mode which has been specifically designed for the people who aren’t interested in the online multiplayer portion of the game, but still curious enough to check out the maps, classes, loadouts and what not. This part of the audience is a ‘major segment of the population’ according to developer Treyarch. The mode also serves the purpose of training players for competitive online play who haven’t experienced it yet.

The game will feature a currency called COD points that you can spend to unlock weapons. These are like expendable experience points that you earn just by playing the game.
Contracts are part of the game - If you sign a contract you have to get so many kills, killstreaks, etc and you will earn in-game Money or CP.

You can also buy missions called ‘contracts’ which are time-trial challenges (which also come with their own achievements). They come in three flavours: Mercenaries, Operations and Specialist. The titles defining the play style required to fulfill the contract, apparently.

Weapon customizations! You can attach clan tags and decals to your weapons now. Painted guns, custom reticules and decals. These can be applied to all the weapons you unlock. Cue rocket launchers with pink hearts? You can also create your own emblems via an emblem editor feature now.
