(we hope)
*Treyarch has structured their leaderboards in such a way to incentivize capping objectives as well as getting kills.
*Lobby leaderboard and game mode specific leader boards return.
*Leaderboards are now sorted on Score per minute averages (which will reward objective mode players better for taking objectives and not just getting kills).
*Game mode objectives show Score per minute followed by key game mode stats. For example, in Search and Destroy it's Plants, Defuse, and Defends.
