Allocation Points is a new feature in Call of Duty: Black Ops II that's part of the also-new "Pick Ten System".

Each player is given ten Allocation Points per class, these may be spent on a Weapon , Attachment, Perk or Wildcard.

This new system allows never before possible classes to be made, with both primary and secondary weapons optional rather than mandatory. If a primary and/or secondary weapon is not selected, a standard Combat Knife is given to the player, replacing the missing weapon slot(s).
