What’s “reviving”

call-of-duty-black-ops

Sometimes I see people lying on the ground, waiting to be "revived".

I can revive them all right, but this never happens to me.

Is it random, given by a Perk or something else that I've been missing?

You need to equip Second Chance Pro. For the opportunity to purchase the Pro variant you need to equip Second Chance and complete these three challenges.

  • Kills – Get 10 kills while in Second Chance.
  • Revenge – While in Second Chance, kill the enemy who downed you 5 times.
  • Headshot – Get 1 headshot kill while in Second Chance.

The ability of your team mates to revive you does not depend on their perk setup. Second Chance Pro will also let you stay "downed" for longer.
