One of the key things which has changed is the matchmaking , lag comp code and other lag measure codes have no changed at all. Hackers for example have been able to find the host switch code , still requires the same amount of ping, from X % of clients as MW2 did to force a switch.
For that reason I take this video with a massive grain of salt.
It still the same forumla with some pretty minor differences , the problem is it pretty easy to spot the faults within said forumla if you play enough.
Not sure if you meant too but you reinforced the idea you are living in the past by not explaining how it was better.
Your post offers a good example of that by saying "The people that say BO2 is good or even better than the old ones, obviously didn't play them." did you explain how ? no did you explain how to improve the game ? no
Sorry for being critical on you but feel it was needed. People suck at giving criticism fact which is a great shame!!
The new ideas they have come up with don't get me wrong I like them, but not at the cost that it will remove the challenging aspect of the game. I found that the balancing in cod4 and waw between weapons and even they way you ranked up made the game more enjoyable and challenging for players. The reason I say living in the past is because I hope that one day a new cod will be like or even similar to cod4 or waw. Let's face it bo2 has a great new system that makes the game enjoyable, but the challenge you had between prestige is no longer there.
An example is the permanent unlock token which you get every time you prestige, this helps you stay with anything you wish to unlock. Whether its a perk, scorestreak, or a weapon it will significantly give that player an advantage. I no longer see that challenge that was once in cod4 and waw while doing prestige. They have eliminated that challenge and turned it into an advantage for people that prestige.
I personally think what they should have done is just let people use that prestige unlock for equipment only. Doing prestige is a challenge for people, that is why not everyone does it or cares about it. Treyarch have eliminated that challenge and turned into "Anyone Can Do Prestige" type of thing.
