I hate the realism argument, mainly because the argument itself is invalid and people only put the argument forward for things they're in favor of.
If CoD is based around realism, why are there perks and killstreaks?
Because it's not.



This argument annoys me too. Just because one has more money they should not gain any sort of advantage.

This is coming from someone who has enough money in his paypal to order some AX720s but has been holding off because of the sound in Black Ops.



It's universally accepted in the CoD community that MW2's weapons were more powerful(even by a little, in CoD it all adds up), had less recoil and became generally easier to handle.



I'm not going to argue this point purely because I know very little of servers, so I'm going to bow out of this one.



Most people consider this game to be the most balanced in the series.
The only people upset about the sound are those that wasted their money on a headset prior to release.
The only people upset w/ the damage and recoil of the weapons are the ones who have become too familiar with MW2s skill-less weapons.

I could go on but I cba, long story short this game is easily on a par w/ COD4(besides sniping haha) and is a mile better than both WaW and MW2, which were both colossal disappointments.

So do you believe there should be footsteps sounds, or shouldn't? I am troubled to see how hearing footsteps became an unfair advantage when everyone can hear them. Headphones only allow you to hear them at a louder rate without disturbing people around you. They aren't any better than your T.V being turned up loud.

And guns were never imbalanced in COD4 or MW2. Yes, some guns were stronger than others, but that same dilemma occurs in Black Ops as well.

And once again, you are are only looking at it from a comparative perspective to something else, like HALO, otherwise you would not be able to define what is and isn't overpowered. Call of Duty is NOT halo, so therefore they have no reason to be compared.

There's a reason everybody in GB & MLG uses a headset and doesn't just turn the volume up you muppet /facepalm



I disagree, all the weapons are extremely balanced. E.g. A weapon with more power may suffer in the accuracy or recoil department.



WTF? I never compared COD to Halo. That would be a f*cking stupid comparison.

Bye bye.

Ehem.

Do you even play GB? Do you even have headphones? From what I can tell, no, so that automatically makes your opinion void and meaningless.

The only other reason for a headphone is the volume control that it makes more convenient and a mic attachment. Depth perception, loudness, and (with proper speaker placement) surround sound can be achieved with normal speakers. Ive met plenty of players at the LAN war room who use speaker connected sound systems as preferred to a headphone. So once again, you are wrong.

And, no, they are still imbalanced. EX: The M16 in BO has a minimal amount of recoil and a strong damage counter; many other AR's do not. That itself makes the weapon imbalanced according to your tool of measure with the rest right there.

And yes, thats exactly what I think. How dumb of you to indirectly compare them. Can you not appreciate the differences?

To answer your remarks, only people from certain countries, with different types of connections are experiencing the problem
E.G. Most people in the UK on Virgin Media are experiencing the problem.
