(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This thread will address three key topics. I'm not asking anyone to agree or diagree because I know at the end of the day people like to vent. If you have a great session of COD, these issues aren't a big deal. If you have a bad session however, you'll be blowing up Bowling's twitter.

1. Gun balance- this is a theme in every COD game. Guns can't and shouldn't literally have the same stats. In sports games there will always be good teams that people gravitate towards and the only options are to pick those same good teams or learn how to make the weaker teams better. MP40 on W@W, UMP on MW2 andFAMAS on BO was a rare example of a gun being that much better than the rest. Also people are biased. If you use a gun then you seem to forget how great it is. At release of MW3 the UMP was "overpowered" again....until the MP7 and PP90M1 proved to be as good if not better. Smartest thing is to know there is rarely a gun that fits every situation on every map. Stop trying to level up your shotgun if the entire enemy is camping in the back or sniping you. Use common sense. Stop trying to quick scope on Dome when everybody else has SMGs. You're trying to outgun a Type 95 at range shouldn't tell you it's overpowered, it should tell you a P90 has limits.

2. Camping vs Rushing- THE ENEMY CAMPING IS THE ONLY ISSUE. If doesn't matter if YOU rush or camp. Your chances of getting kills is dependent on the enemy lots of times. If you're hiding in a doorway you need the enemy to rush you. If you're running around the map, you need the enemy to rush you. This is my reason people including campers hate other campers.

Believe it or not there is a playstyle in between hiding by doors and running around blindly with a shotgun thinking you own the map...Anyways, camping is a tactic NOT an exploit. If you want to avoid most camping play ground war or in a party. HC,SND and FFA to a degree aren't beneficial to rushers. I'm not sure why anyone would rush in HC or SND anyway...Im not saying camping doesn't exist but we know how COD gamers exaggerate. Every death was from a guy prone, with a claymore and whatever gun you don't like waiting on you.

3. UAV vs counter UAV perks- The UAV spam in BO and MW3 can be ridiculous and takes any skill or reward out if getting UAV. People never mention what I'm about to say... CAMPING IS EASIER WITH A FRIENDLY UAV. Think about it. If a guy is camping in a room, isn't it actually easier for him to stay in that room without dying if the red dots warn him you're coming?

UAV/Spy Planes aren't used only for rushing. This also adds to the list of things that might not have been camping but you just take the easyway out and blame it on camping.

If you use Spy Plane, HB Sensor or Portable Radar all game,you deserve what you get. I use my minimap as a way to find my teammates. I use the red dots as an idea of where enemies are.

Oh btw,i use Hardline Pro 80% of the time as I use Assault and I'd rather let the enemy know where I am. I have zero against Assassin users. I personally am glad people think Asassin is overpowered, because it makes my Reapers from 2 actual gun kills seem less ridiculous.

All I'm saying is a lot of COD gamers take these legit issues and turn them into scapegoats. EVERY death has to be because of a camper, an overpowered gun, etc.

These issues have been in COD so long that it's almost comical people still bitch about them as much as they do. I started playing in parties to counter most of these issues....i also play in parties because I'd rather play with players who can adjust than who cry all game. Enemy camping? Use recon and recon drone. Enemy using "OP" guns? Use OP guns. Enemy "camping" for killstreaks? Wait til they call in a big killstreak and use EMP.

Enemy camping with AR? Stop rushing the same route and flank tem or switch to Assassin and use that perk to flank. Or switch to Blind Eye to avoid all those killstreaks.

I find myself raging at idiot teammates more than the enemy. We all hate some of these issues but I mean it's online gaming. Expect the worst and be a man about it or stay offline....Lag compensation has to go. We have a guy in our clan who has shit internet I think. Everytime he is in the party it lags wa too much :(


Teammates are always my main point of rage in Call of Duty, Everytime I've been playing with my friends and racked up a 25+ win streak and my friends leave, I go into a Domination or CTF to find the team I join loosing horribly, not even attempting to cap the objectives and going like 6-30+. Sometimes you can just carry your team but most of the time they die that often there's Recon Drones and AC-130's flying about all over the place. I wish matchmaking would be kind to me one day

I'm stating to wonder are some of these big tkme complainers those teammates we all hate to play with when solo.

Guys complaining about camping,OP weapons all game yet they are using a shotgun against a party on big maps or trying to quick scope on small maps lol. Fortunately most people who play this game eprefer the easy mode Support killstreaks so playing solo you only have to worry about constant enemy UAV, Noob Bombers or EMP. You deal with less Assault users that have more than a Attack Heli.

Haha maybe they are, but yeah it's no fun going 22-0 in Domination running specialist for that MOAB then getting Stealth Bombed by a guy running support streaks and going 14-32. But hell these things happen, Is how the game has been made and we have to either put up with it or just don't play it. Simple as that.
