• David Vonderhaar tweeted: “Unlike all previous games, the number in the center of the screen is the * Score * you earn for doing something. Not the XP earned. It is easy to confuse XP & Score as the values were often the same for common events like a kill. They have never been the same thing. In Black Ops 2, we break down the XP and how much you earned in the post game report called the AAR. AAR. After Action Report. I think it’s the best looking / most useful post game report we’ve ever had.”
