[QUOTE=Calkkuna;39875558]The SMG's are good at close range, and because of the good hipfire and lag compensation, too good. They also have way too much damage at range, and paired with the RoF most of them have, it's just way too much.[/QUOTE]
Well I play on Xbox unfortunately, so there's little I can do other than grin and bear it in regards to the problems I have. While there is some variation in the SMG's, there's a range of RoF from quite fast to very fast, all with 30-50 magazine sizes. The maps being as small as they are and the spawns, oh lordy the spawns, I feel like the SMG's are just too easy to use.
The more I think about this the more issues I remember I have with the game. All of the offensive tacticals seem to be stronger than in previous games, concussions for example, and Shock Charges, as if they're trying to make everything stronger to justify the use of Tactical Mask or Engineer rather than make the perks worthwhile by themselves. Ohh, and the wonderful Shock Charge and Bouncing Betty combo. My favourite.
The deployable Assault Shield has led to people sitting in buildings with a shotgun, deployed Assault Shield, bouncing betties and shock charges. Quite difficult to camp that hard in previous CoD's imo.
The spawns are also god awful. Worse than in any other CoD. It just seems deliberate how bad they are. I can't imagine the devs playing the game, killing a guy and dying because they spawned directly behind them and thinking "yep, this is a great design!"
My ranting aside, if you enjoy the game, more power to you, I just can't understand why they made the game how it is in some regards.
I do like that they reduced the amount of corners and camping spots on each map, I think that's a great move on their part.
[QUOTE=HorizoN;39875536]They use ping on the PC version.[/QUOTE]

I read so many people playing on console complain about the netcode, I'm wondering if it's actually that terrible or if they just like to whine. It's probably the former.
I don't think Treyarch made a game that they would honestly play, in my opinion.
I like the spawn system in some regards - it puts you into the action for the most part. Still, I'd rather it not spawn you behind the guy you just killed because it seems like I'd get a guy down to low health, die, and then use that to my advantage.
Last night I played with my friend in chaos moshpit and took out my pacifist class for objective maps again. One game I got [url=http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/921256711406419726/3D792E71C7AB7738E2CBFF10A840B4D9DF146AFD/]5220[/url] score, 4th place overall.
I learned two things that night
1) It is totally possible for me to get an AGR (I was about 25 points away once)
2) I suck well at throwing grenades:

Hah.
I've destroyed many Hunter Killers with EMP grenades, but that's a step above. Nice work.
Finally, I got Gold and maxed out prestige on my 870.
Took me quite a while for those Bloodthirsty medals, even at Hijacked.
I am always extremely unlucky when being paired up with a team. I always get paired up with the dumb, deaf, and blind. I just played a round of hardcore TDM where two people on my team had around 5 kills and had 20+ deaths. It makes it hard to win when your team does nothing but feed the enemy frags.

I sometimes get people than end a Domination game with less than 100 points.
0/24, 50 points. How.

And 0 captures and 0 defenses, but he was here since the very beginning of the game.

I love it when a round starts and you die immediately, and you get this vibe that the rest of the round is going to be as shit as the first few seconds, then you [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa5u7FnTkjM]turn it around and kick some major ass.[/url]
Also, dude at 3:20 managed to blow himself up with my own C4 by shooting it when I threw it at him :v:
My Tac-45 is now at Prestige 2 and MP7 is at Prestige 1. Looking good so far.
On the other hand, Executioner is a pain in the ass to use.

i really dont get why people find the executioner so hard to use, i managed to get it gold even before the buff
I have 5 headshots with it and it's almost prestige 1.

So, the patch.

Ten extra CaC slots? If this comes out on Steam for cheap enough I may just get those...
And the flags calling cards were available by default in MW2 weren't they? :(

One of the new DLC camos is apparently Bacon. How lovely.
I bet I could just set the camos in CE.
[editline]12th March 2013[/editline]
as well as literally everything, think for a while you could put three rapid fires on your LMG or so but it'd get you banned pretty quick :v:

well, at least when the patch drops on pc
Fucking knew they would have camo dlc since here is a whole page extra page for dlc.
Shouldn't take too long till pc gets it. Last large update was one day between, the one before that four days between.

To balance the laser sight they could just make it so that if someone with laser sight is aiming at you you can see them on the minimap.
Got my second ruthless with a ballistic knife-only build :v:
Hilarious thing, do try it out.
[quote]Resolved an issue with the red crosshair appearing in the Target Finder when targeting an enemy equipped with Cold Blooded.[/quote]
Target finder is gonna be useless lol.
if you use target finder, you're a baby
imo
I use it on my LMG for the zoom level, targeting is just a bonus and only saved my ass a few times.
[QUOTE=Pops;39889426]if you use target finder, you're a baby

You're a baby.
It's really fucking useful, like an eotech sight with boxes around the enemies. I can't understand the whine I get when I use it with my SMR. According to them I'm a noob when I do a triplekill with a semiauto gun in close quarters.
Actually, target finder and MMS won't be useless.
Cold blooded will be useful.

Yeah has same zoom level as LMG irons and eotech.
Man, helicopters piss me the fuck off. (Talking about Mw3)
You're running to kill the same MK14 jackass in the corner, you're about to finally snuff the fucker and BOOM you get sprayed by a dickwaving monstrosity hovering smugly above you.

Throw an EMP, shoot it (it's really fragile), throw a grenade, etc.
It's not hard to destroy, but yeah it can be awful (Trophy system next to it OH GOD)
