(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This thread is simply my way of trying to figure out what sparked this new phenomenon on Black Ops 2...The game has been out eight or so months now and I imagine we all have some fatigue with the game and/or are tired of going full in or being, "tryhards" aka just playing to win and dominate and most importantly having fun...

I haven't played BO2 frequently since April of this year but when I do get on once or twice a week I see a HUGE number of trolls. Let me explain trolls to me are the opposite of tryhards. Guys who literally just come into Ground War aka TEAM BASED MATCHES and just dick around trying to Quick Scope, use pistols only, Assault shield, ballistic knife Onlyusemeblade wannabes and of course still a lot of those LMG with or without Target Finder noobs just spraying til bullets make contact with someone with 10% accuracy or less lol. These guys are happy with 5 kills probably and ignore their deaths as well as objectives unless it's stealing your tag in KC.

What's up with all the trolling though? I mean quick scopers and some of you other trolls aren't necessarily hard to stop but it makes playing in a party even more important. Who the hell wants to play in a Kill Confirm match where your team consists these knife only guys who are stealing all your tags(and immediately dying) or a Domination match where a guy is more concern with getting quick scope clips than helping you capture/defend a flag? Oh and of course we know your average quick scoper goes 10-25 at worst and 30-36 with zero flag caps at best.

I have begun using more Assault Rifles when I play now or just running Stealth, Escort and EMP as my scorestreaks as a way to spice up the game when I play...I just don't get why so many people have begun to just be THAT guy trying to quick scope or using pistols only getting totally owned...

Oh and I know some people can actually play well quick scoping or using pistols but come on let's be honest we know how terrible those guys usually are, just like how you know a splitscreen team is two wasted spots

Its called having fun.

I don't see why that bothers you so much, I get that it is affecting your win/loss kdr etc. but those are just numbers they don't mean a thing for example my w/l ratio is somewhere around 0.40 same as my K/D ratio it isn't because I suck it is because I don't care. However if you want less people who are just relaxing and playing the game for what it is go to league play.

Got bored of getting killed by a sniper in close range when I have an smg. How is a weapon that is a 1 hit kill from all ranges not op. Then the lag..... oh the lag. You already hear me moan about it enough though lol.

Most of my time on Black ops 2 has been spent getting gold weapons.
Yes that does mean pistols however I do have a backup class just in case.

I don't know but after so many games started to now play for fun over be serious about my K.D or doing good.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Perception is reality. If your kd is say 1.2-1.3 maybe you don't care. However if your shit is 0.40 then you probably suck. What actual good player would not care so much that he has 0.40? When good players don't care they use lesser weapons and make them good not literally turn the game on and go 5-30 like I see. A bad game for good player might be 30-16 or 30-28 at the worst even playing with one thumb.

In MW2 & BO1 especially ppeople moaned about guys with high stats being killwhores and ignoring objectives.

Well now it seems people ignore objectives AND DIE ALL GAME. I'd rather have 40-10 guy ignoring objectives on my team then a 10-40 guy ignoring objectives and hurting his team because he is quickscoping on Nuketown 2025 or "doesn't care ". Obviously COD isn't life but if someone is purposefully neuter himself to the point of being a 0.40 kdr 0.40 w/l than maybe he should just play another game or stay in FFA.

Trolls are people who are bad at the game, so they find an alternate way to have fun with it. All games have people like that. People have just learned more ways to do it thanks to YouTubers who do it. Although I don't see the fun trolling people the same way someone on YouTube does....I mean you know what the outcome is.
