Here's my Breakdown
Sorry it is kinda long.
That's what I said...
Pros:
1. Plays more like CoD4 than MW2.
2. Unlock system and weapon level is great!
3. Create-A-Class is better now with attached strike packages and proficiencies.
4. Sniping and Quick Scoping are completely revamped [This could be a Con later though.]
5. Assault Killstreaks [Pointstreaks] are balanced with power of killstreak and difficulty of acquiring.
6. Spawns [For now] seem to be harder to pinpoint.[i.e. less chance of spawn trapping]
7. Hit detection seems to be upgraded.
8. The party leader can drag every party member out mid game [Could be con if you have a rage quitting party leader]
9. Absolutely love the revamped Private Match settings and options.
Cons:
1. Either the damage cap for assault rifles is too high or player health is too low.
2. Theater mode is absolute trash now.
3. Support killstreaks carry over through death no matter what [Too easy to get advanced UAV or Jugg, maybe let it only carry over through one or two deaths.]
4. Voice chat could be a great deal better. Why not use the same VoIP software Microsoft or Sony use. [Not IW's]
5. Maps don't have that extra oomph...or...playability?? [Hard to explain, just not really a map that stands out to me]
6. What the
HELL happened to the mounds of player stats that Black Ops had?!?! [Sorry for the mini-Rage; I just really loved B.O. Combat record and checking stats of random players before I faced them.
7. I was a fan of Emblem Creator, not so much of the Call-Signs.
8. Really wished they brought more fresh game-modes. Kill Confirmed is okay but not what I had in mind. [Really want War to make a return in a CoD soon.]
All in all it is a great game that could be AMAZING. Even though I have to have the latest CoD every year, I would be okay waiting an extra 6 months to maybe even a year past the standard 12 month game debut. This really would make for a great polished CoD.
[Quick question: Is there really any point to Accolades?...Didn't think so...]
