(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); ...because in reality, all companies have the ultimate goal to make money. Singling out Treyarch is not only unfair to them but undermines them for the effort and continual support they have put into this game despite being heavily criticized.

First of all, the introduction of additional camos have been extremely controversial, yet I don't see why Treyarch is taking shit for it. Its a brand new addition that has never been in titles prior, and more importantly does not add or take away experience/put a player at an advantage or disadvantage. It's simply an option for who are willing to or wanting to support the company. Think of it more like a donation as opposed to Treyarch forcing you into unwillingly feed them money.

Also, let's not ignore the fact that this game has received remarkable support. It's one of the most balanced CoDs, with more changes yet to come. If they were actual money whores, they would just put out their product, not give it any support and focus on a newer project where they can milk more money *cough*MW2*cough*

So what do you think? Is Treyarch getting too much backlash or is the criticism justified?

Being a business doesn't make being money whores any better. I could argue Infinity Ward's poor track record with post release support is because they are a business. Treyarch aren't thieves. They could be smart businessman that found ways to get extra money out of the consumer. Doesn't make it a bad thing, but also doesn't mean since they support their game they are entitled to charge. I would honestly be more on board with you if this didn't just feel like a glorified 3arc > IW thread lol.



You're calling people an idiot and saying they are shit at a game yet you're not smart enough to just use Tac Mask, Flak Jacket or Engineer to deal with shock charges and betties(which you can just go prone on to avoid)? Black Ops 2 does not promote camping just because a few things are available to aid in camping. Target Finder is purely for fucking noobs. However, an argument could be made that Target Finder helps you shoot in buildings to weed campers out. Shock Charges could be used to hold down objectives. Honestly if you've played as many CODs as you claim you'd know campers are easy to stop ESPECIALLY on BO2 since Ghost doesn't keep you off radar if you're camping, the maps are small and each room has multiple ways to flank or throw C4 in the window.

If the game is easy then why are you complaining at all? Just for the sake of doing so? Kill Confirmed, caputuring flags in Domination, using Ghost with Suppressor, C4 promote encourage moving. People shouldn't be forced to be rushers. Honestly when I play solo I get the bad teammates who think moving around the map quick scoping is rushing. Moving around the map doesn't make someone good, it's how effective they are at it. Just like sports games shouldn't force someone to pick weaker teams online. Good players will usually own poorer players. So if a camper goes 40-2, obviously the enemy wasn't very good. If a rusher goes 3-20, then obviously he just sucks. I think being aggressive is the way to play and if you're good at that and get a decent connection in BO2 you will own people playing tht way. Even Target Finder noobs trying to headglitch down a damn hallway.

Camping is such an overrated complaint because there are plenty of little bitches camping in rooms who go negative and get owned by good rushers. There are also plenty of rushers who have terrible reflexes, use the wrong weapons in the wrong situations, literally stare at their mini map and can't deal with campers. If you're good you will be good regardless of what others do. CApturing objectives and being aggressive is the best way to play BO2, but that doesn't mean every person is gonna do that or even be a BO2. MW2 is my favorite COD but that game rewarded camping way more than BO2 does. BO2 rewards objective killwhoress more than anything. I always have on my Tac Mask class and play with friends to avoid playing with slow paced campers and also terrible rushers who run aimlessly with poor reflexes just giving the enemy killstreaks.



The game is balanced. SMGs are the dominant class but this is the first COD game where this is the case. Assault Rifles have historically been the dominate class in every other COD game. MW3 was pretty close since you could beast with SMGs pretty much like you could with AR. Everything in Black Ops 2 has a counter for the most part. It's a very balanced game at it's core. How people play the game is a different story. I have a B flag class that has Flak Jacket, Hard Wired, and Tac Mask. It's annoying as shit having to deal with people literally just chucking nades and shock charges and stuns but technically I can counter it. I feel you though but BO2 is pretty balanced as far as COD games go. I'd argue the most balanced.

Although balance doesn't make a game good or bad in my opinion, balanced is usually just a term players use as an excuse. People complaining about camping is honestly the reasons SMGs are so good. They made the maps smaller, and objectives more rewarding to promote movement. A bitchy community is why the game is the way it is. And we're still not happy sadly lol. How useless knifing can be is an example, I'd imagine that was to deal with panic knife aka enemy as quicker reflexes complaints. They tried to appease quick scopers and shotgun guys too. The connections on the game is truly the biggest flaw. The game is pretty balanced otherwise and dealing with campers in this game is as easy as COD gets. Also there are no death streaks and Support Strike package so I am praise the Lawd for that lmao.


I agree with you... My main focus wasn't on the ARs being second to SMGs. It was a factor, but I just have to learn to change my playing style and maybe incorporate some SMGs.. I think my problem is I got so used to MW2, I would rock an M16 with a load-out that seen kills @ around 3-5 bullets. I have always rode a line between camper and rusher. I kind of know when to hold and when to push. But you do make some good points, as has the OP; so I take what I said back, it is the most balanced cod to date... I just feel that it's not my cup of tea @ the moment and I can either drink it or grab something else. I've done my part to try to not bitch about the games lesser issues and focus on the larger issues such as the connection based issues.

You make very valid points. I was just trying to get you to see that the game is actually pretty balanced and pretty much anything you like or don't like in BO2 is based off the community's bitching over the past year or so.

Sniper rifles are powerful and obviously the sniping community didn't like the lack of quick scoping in BO1. Shotguns in every COD since MW2 have been shitty so now shotguns are good again. People bitched about Assault Rifles being OP and there has historically been 1-2 decent SMGS in every game. So in BO2 Assault Rifles are good they just aren't the dominate class for once and the game is tailor made for rushing around with an SMG which in turn now all people do is complain that SMGS are overpowered and they nerfed SMGS a few times.

Knfiing was always a complaint and "panic knifing" aka a guy having better reflexes. Now BO2 has a damn butter knife and we bitch that knifing is useless.

Campers will be in every FPS because camping is realistic and in some cases necessary. I prefer rushing because I like getting lots of kills, being aggressive and winning. In BO2 being a rusher gives you a distinct advantage espeically compared to previous COD games.

Most people essentially scream camper whenever a guy killed them that wasn't from behind and if they don't say camper they would complain that the guy's gun is "overpowered". The same guys who were whooping ass and beasting in COD4, W@W, MW2, and any other COD game are still kicking ass. My stance is that good players will be good regardless and only complainers and noobs bitch the most. I mean any good rusher knows you have to rush 70% of the time. 30% you play cautious to squeak out close victory in objective mode or to temporarily outcamp a camper to flush him out of his hole. People also don't wanna adjust.

I was an Assault Rifle guy in every COD previous to MW3. I was 60/40 Assault Rifle to SMG in that game. In BO2 I'm 75-25% SMG to AR because the map sizes and the way suppressors and Ghost works you need to stay on the move and get in close, and as long as you avoid long pathways you're not at disadvantage like with AR.

BO2 is a very good game regardless of what most say(especially those who play the shit out of it) but I actually probably enjoyed MW3 more. Even though that game had the 2nd worst thing in COD history, Support Strike Package. To me Target Finders and Hunter Killers are welcomed compared to some 10-15 noob EMPing my Osprey Gunner.

It's ok to bitch because we all do it. You as do I like to bitch as eloquently as possible. As you probably know, most NGU members literally go how the wind blows. The minute they go negative or end up 30-2 as opposed to 30-1 they'll be on here complaining that shotguns are OP even though they were on a cqc map like Hijacked. Or they'll complain snipers are OP even though the sniper in the lobby went 5-20 and only actually killed them once.

That is referred to as "Panic Knifing" in the COD community. Sadly people have bitched about the knife and knife lunges since probably MW2 so I would suspect the knife is terrible based off of those complaints.
