The map design is what makes subs so powerful. The COD community has cried about campers so much to a fault which is why this game is most beneficial for rushers which is fine with me but the it's pretty obvious that rushing with SMGs are the best way to have success on this game. Ghost has been nerfed as well. So again the map design is what makes SMGs so powerful. Modern Warfare 2 was a great COD game too.
I have no issues with campers(outside target finders) because everyone can't rush effectively and because good players adjust. So just because sitting back aiming down hallways doesn't work as well(because a guy with MSMC will flank your headglitching ass) doesn't mean a gun class is overpowered.
Every COD game before MW3 was dominated by Assault Rifles so the community wanted a change. The COD4 nostalgia is really becoming ridiculous at this point.
And for all the bs MW3 was more fun than BO1. BO2 is my 2nd favourite COD game but that's after MW2. COD4 had a smaller community which kept the game from being less screwed with. If MW2 didn't have Noobtube issues unaddressed, it would be MUCH better than COD4.
I love the LMG's on this game just earlier i was on carrier (hardpoint) so basically the most impossible to camp on map or the run n gun map, and i basically went GOD on the enemy i went 117 - 5, got 4 warthogs and load-stars all thanks to my MK48.
what i realized is the SMG's are not actual that good there just so bloody easy to use that they get overused and makes them seem so overpowered, if you see something constantly you notice things more, if you barely see anything you don't notice the details.
the MK48 is by far the best gun i have ever used in a COD game in a long time, and it could be classed as OP but people don't bother to try new stuff, oh LMG's are slow, crap ADS, and yes i have 100 ammo but it takes 7 seconds to reload? no way im using that over my PDW.
people don't bother to use something till there good with it, i mean i have seen people say buff the KSG cause it sucks? really? it can kill in 1 shot up to massive ranges, and the only thing you have to do is aim properly and not just sort of aim towards someone.
in conclusion Black Ops 2 is a really good COD but is ruined by the players, SMG's could be crap but if there OU then they piss everyone off, its the easy to use guns that get OU but the OP guns that are hard to use (such as LMG's or KSG) are not just easy to use and then people think that they are crap and need a buff?
Map Design for this game is quiet bad, the problem for me is there are maps that you can not use a sniper, LMG etc but there are no maps where you can not use SMG so you dont really force people to try somthing different.
