As you are probably aware Treyarch recently held the official Black Ops multiplayer reveal event, they have recently spoken briefly about create a class, and it looks to have changed a lot when compared to Modern Warfare 2.
When you are choosing your customizations you can see your character model, this allows you to instantly see how different equipment choices etc affect how your player looks.
There will apparently be a wide-range of equipment available, items include motion sensors and a signal jammer.
As for perks they are split into three tiers, tier 1 allows you to choose Lightweight, Scavenger, Ghost, Hardline and Flak Jacktet. Some of these you will recognize from MW2, whereas others are new. Ghost will make you Undetectable by the Spy Plane and the Blackbird, the Flak Jacket perk will give you Extra explosive resistance.
Tier 2 allows you to choose from Hardened, Scout, Steady Aim, Sleight of Hand and Warlord. Hardened looks similar to stopping power, scout allows you to hold your breath longer, warlord is similar to bloing and steady aim and sleight of hand were seen in MW2.
In tier 3 there are four options, Marathon, which allows you to sprint for longer, Second Chance, which allows you to pull out pistol before dying, Hacker, which detects enemy equipment and explosives (similar to SitRep) and Tactical Mask, which reduces the effect of flash and concussion grenades.

CoD PointsCoD Points are a new major feature of Black Ops. CoD Points will become the new in-game currency and will allow players to buy weapons, attachments, and Contracts. In addition to this, players are also allowed to wager these points in certain game modes.
Contracts
Contracts are a new system in addition to the classic challenge system in Black Ops. A player is able to buy a contract with CoD Points, which will then direct them to complete an object. Completion of a contract will yield a higher CoD point payout than what was originally paid for the contract itself.
Wager Matches
A new mode with a separate ranking structure than the standard online modes, will allow players to gamble with their money. However, only the top three will receive the prize. They will be placed into one of four random modes:
* One in the Chamber - each player is given a pistol with one bullet and a knife. For each kill achieved the player will receive one more bullet. However, each player will only have three lives.
* Sharpshooter - each player is given the same random weapon. The weapon will be used for 45 seconds before being switched out for another one. Kills will award the player with perks and score multipliers.
* Sticks and Stones - each player receives only a crossbow, ballistic knife, and a Tomahawk. The catch in this gamemode is that if the player was able to hit an enemy with a Tomahawk, the enemy player will go "bankrupted".
* Gun Game - players start out with a pistol. For each kill they move up a level, granting them a better gun. First person to achieve kills with all 20 weapons wins. However, someone who is knifed will move down a level.
Create a ClassCreate a Class in Black Ops.
* Create-A-Class 2.0 will allow players to customize their appearance in addition to their loadout. Players may see what their character looks like while choosing a class, as the player's basic appearance will be determined by their Tier 1 Perk. Players will also be able to choose a Facepaint pattern.
* Some sights such as the Red Dot Sight can use custom reticules which includes choice of shape and color.
* Gun camouflages will be featured in Black Ops and will be far more numerous than in previous Call of Duty games.
* Players' clan tags are engraved onto their guns.
