I constantly experience this whenever I play solo, mind you I rarely play solo now. But I know where you are coming from. Every time I played solo I was the top player in the entire lobby whereas the players on my team took up the bottom five. It’s really annoying that people rather try and become the next Optic/Faze on YouTube so they’ll ruin the game for everyone on their team. For the love of God it’s like winning is not in style anymore, it’s all about losing but having a nice “clip.”
Frankly they should have a playlist just for people who want to quickscope or go knife only. I also find it sad that the one time I tried to go knife only I still did better than everyone in the lobby. People are incompetent and think that running down the middle of the map with nothing on but a knife is a superb strategy for doing well and winning. And scratch that, winning and well isn’t in their vocabulary to begin with. Sorry about going on a mini rant, but it was totally needed lol.

Yep. It's a gift and a curse. You can generally get a higher kill, kdr and spm game playing solo since if you're decent you'll be a top 2 player every game... Downside is your wins will suffer because it's hard to win if you're the only guy competent.
I played solo last night for first time in a week and it was frustrating although I got 60+ twice. People always complained about "killwhores" but in BO2 you want as many "killwhores" as possible if you play solo. The majority of the randoms I see aren't avoiding objective to focus on earning high streaks. The reality is they're too busy trying to quick scope or target find in Kill confirmed or trying to knife only or barely go positive with shotguns. They're usually oblivious, passive or just give up streaks all game.
If you play for montages or Youtube then solo or playing with 1-2 others is beneficial. Otherwise get friends to play with because you'll face teams but they'll but noobs on your team. Also just ragequit the lobby if multiple splitscreens are on your team...
I rather have killwhores than quickscopers on my team any day. Hell whenever I play with my friends on hardcore CTF that's pretty much all we do. It's probably another reason as to why we win a lot. We got their spawns on lock down so all we have to do is grab the flag and go.
