Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 adds to the custom class system by taking perks to the new level. Rather than just getting a perk at a certain level, you can now level each perk to pro level to add an ability. For example, the Ninja perk keeps you from showing up on heartbeat monitors, but once taken to pro level, your footsteps will no longer make noise, making the pro perk the equivalent of Dead Silence.

You'll also note that Juggernaut and Martyrdom are no longer perks. These are deathstreaks, which only occur after a certain number of deaths without a kill. And instead of a perk that lets you use two primary weapons, there is a perk that lets you simply change classes mid-game without dying.

Here are the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 perks:
