While Create-A-Class is nothing new to Call of Duty, the way it is implemented is new. Each class you create is given 10 points, and everything you put in that class, from weapons to perks to even grenades will use up those points. It is possible to create a class that has one weapon and 6 perks, which shows the amount of customization allowed.
