(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Black Ops 2 looks BEAST! No Support, no death streaks, Ghost is tweaked(I actually sound whore so those nobody ass UAV or Ghost people don’t really bother me anyway), maps look great, etc. I am pumped. As you know, unlike most I am honest and rational. I know that right now this looks like greatest game ever, by January I will be angry with certain aspects, but will play the shit out of it regardless.

My issue is COD franchise disguising their quest to make the game more noobyfriendly by using the word, “objective”. You see in COD community if you want to get people to buy into your thread or idea, you have to attach propaganda words…Words like “camper, try hard, overpowered, panic knife” or “OBJECTIVE”.

Example: that guy who went 40-5 was being a try hard camping with that overpowered PP90, panic knifing me…Oh and I only went 10-30 because I am an objective player, blah blah derp derp”

Brings me to my point. Score Streaks are a good idea. I loved Point Streaks(I once got a Reaper with ZERO gun kills haha). However, they are inherently noob friendly. They paint the picture as, “we will reward the objective players”. The reality is, they are rewarding the noobs who shoot down air support and call in UAVs all game long by giving the score points. UAV isn’t any better than Ghost. I still say Ghost should be removed and UAV should be a 7 streak. That way you can’t hide but every Tom, Dick, Harry and his momma can’t get UAV 80% of the game. UAV Spam and Portable radars lead to Ghost use people. Your inability to kill someone unless they are a red dot on a minimap is what makes these guys turn to Ghost…I rarely ever use Ghost btw, but I don’t diss people who use it. UAV and Ghost* the same to me.

So I welcome the ease of getting Dogs and Gunships at least once a game(Twice come Christmas) but I wish they would be honest. Don’t say you want to reward people for playing more objective. Say that you want to make it easier for lesser players to get kill streaks, so you will help them out. Good players know that being objective is way easier than people make it out to be. You simply get kills, maintain flags with kill streaks and have a rape fest. Bad players are the ones spending more time pointing a Stinger/Strela up at the sky than getting kills. Bad players are the ones tripping capping when you’re up 150-35. Killwhoring and playing objective isn't mutually exclusive. I like a mixture of both. Also news flash...Defending a flag in a tightly contested Dom game isn't camping either. But we know it"s easier to make excuses. Bad players are the ones trying to cap a flag while losing 35-180.* I wouldn’t be surprise if the next COD gives you two points for shooting down air support. In Black Ops* 1, good teams had Blackbirds, Napalms, Dogs, Chopper Gunners up all game and dominated and won. Bad players couldn’t get higher than a Care Package or Sam Turrent I liked it that way :carling:

So I expect to see UAV, Counter UAV, Care Package and RC Cars all game long…Good news is, at least it’s better than seeing Noob Bombers, EMPS and Escort Airdrops all game. Support in MW3 was like Call of Duty Welfare. Score Streaks are more like Coupons and I guess I like that :carling:

Decided to hop on last night, other team had four guys go a combined 20-100.

It amazes me how people here and on Youtube bitch about campers, guns, perks yet rarely about how terrible most players are. Makes me wonder if some of the complainers are the scrubs. I mean why bitch about how "OP" the MP7 is instead of how terrible a 2-25 guy must be. Really starting to think most complainers around here are those terrible green guys.

I agree, but i still have to say it won't be that bad. If You follow BO devs on twitter, then nearly every day there is a discussion about how to do things. We spoke about UAV (i said make it bigger and easier to see, as it annoys me on MW3 - sometimes takes TOO LONG to notice it), we spoke recently about how Your scorestreak will be growing etc. UAV will be bigger, faster to spot and they even though to make it 5 kill reward Smile We will see but defo we won't get UAV and camp fest after two months, where most good players like US (ovation) will get to know the maps, respawns and go with higher killstreak, which will be BETTER, why? Hardline rewards higher high killstreaks (i don't get it but i'm happy with it). So i won't be here complaining straight away, i will give them two-three months for patches and stuff, then i will quit it or enjoy it. I don't enjoy MW3 too much. Just like someone said on Twitter, give Us good hit detection, no host compesation (or not as huge as it is now) and no shit spammed killstreaks and we will be happy.


The funny thing is since maybe 3rd prestige in MW3 I used Hardline Pro 80% of the time.

Assassin Pro is the best 2nd tier perk but Hardline Pro is the most powerful 2nd tier perk. Plus if you die after getting say a Reaper or AC130 every two assists counts on the new life.

Meaning you can get a Pred on your new life from your previous life's assists purely of hitmarkers.

Recon Pro was the most underrated perk.
