From my experience fuck no!!! Lately I luck if I able to connect at all.. It isn't my isp or my settings.. One day I might have an open nat.. and it might last a day or two then I get some bs about not being able to connect to server. I go to options and system info and Strict nat. 3arch knows nothing about netcode.
Yes, absolutely. Although I'd say hell yes if you're on Xbox 360 and simply yes if you're on PS3.
I will say that it has probably the biggest learning curve of any COD. It's not THAT different but their is an adjustment period and getting any COD game 2-3 months after release puts you at a disadvantage. People will know best setups, head glitch spots, best flank routes, best counters, etc.
Regardless of how people portray everyone as campers people generally run around in COD,and this game somewhat forces you to rush more than previous games. This is good and bad since I don't feel you should force anyone into a certain playstyle rather just encourage a playstyle. You won't have Ghost which although UAV spam isn't as bad as at first, you'll certainly be on the radar more.
Most effective way to be successful at this game is to use an SMG and push around the map and enemy spawns as objectives really help your streaks and spawn trapping isn't as successful. So I'd say get it but being 2.5 months late to the party will make it harder for you.
