This isn't a complaint, but I'm wondering what sort of things happen on the COD that don't happen in real life. I've always said that games aren't unrealistic but they take a snapshot of dysfunctional life and compact it into one.
The most obvious one for me is 'Quickscoping'. I know there has to be a place that is the centre of the community where some people only play COD just for sniping and they have there own kind of playstyle E.g. Sniping defensively at the edge of map, sniping like its a submachine gun/shotgun and most of all the Trickshotting something which I despise.
In Black Ops 2, guns are carefully specialised with their own ability, which is why sniping in BOII has become more difficult in close range battles and when dealing with multiple enemies but much easier to kill in long range due to low recoil, no sway and rate of fire suited to get a accurate shot on the upper body.
However, most players have to suffer due to the way sniping is implemented even thou these are those guys who treat der sniper like its a submachine gun and go like 5-20 hurting the team and some who are incredibly good at it and rare are really beneficial to the team as they can take out multiple of enemies in any range.
Despite its drawbacks, Sniping is one of the most popular things online because of its bolt-action nature, which can be more exciting to use than any other gun. Also, sniping is very popular on youtube, as it is believed to require more skill to use and fun. As a result, It will be extremely difficult to dominate enemies and earn high killstreak/scorestreaks rewards like any of the historical cods.
In my opinion Black Ops 2 sniping doesn't require much skill you just have to play smartly but I do miss the freedom to just run around and destroy like on other cods (Apart from MW3). Up close, snipers sucks! You would be incredibly lucky to survive in most battles. I kind of find it funny how ders no aim assist on snipers and yet they made it slow.
I guess less people will be raging at snipers now as they won't get killed easily.
However, still expect them useless team mates that go super negative and spinning off buildings and yet rage at hardscoping and hate playing against 'tryharders' then complain on twitter.
