It's not that different seeing as console versions basically aim for you
That's what I want to know, what is the community stance on using such a device for multiplayer?
Brings back memories of Shawn Elliot talking with the FASA dude about Shadowrun about what they had to do to balance KB/M vs controller.

Keyboard and mouse still has a sizeable edge over aim assist
I know, I used a xim when I used to play shooters on console.
Always amused me when people whined about it. It's not bannable so it's not cheating really.
Sometimes it doesnt matter what the fuck I do, I ALWAYS get fucked up the a in the end. Spot dude camping, middle range, engage first, have better cover, short bursts AR, I get 4 or 5 hit markers before he fires back. He STILL fucks me up.
On kill cam I see it's with suppressed SMG and he barely got a scratch. ;_;
Might as well throw candies at them and wait they die from cavities.
Edit: man, right now it dont matter what I do, if I get the drop on the guy or not, I fucking ALWAYS die. Fuck this shit.

Yeah, the challenges reference it so it's definitely intended. One of mine should be prestiged a couple times now.

KB/M 3rd party peripheral. Which is almost a 1 to 1.
I did research on it before buying it before BO1 and Xim3 is really the best of the best kind of deal. It's pricey($150) but it really does what it says it does. It feels like you are just using a m/kb on a console. You essentially play CoD at the theoretical max of the controller in the aspect that you play at sensitivity 14(for BO2) with the benefit of extreme accuracy. I've read of other hardware solutions but Xim3 is a combination in the sense that you plug you m/kb into a device which is updated with translators that gives you a pretty close 1 to 1 condition. I read about the Eagle Eye and heard about problems so I went this way with it. No regrets. It's not bankable either as you literally only can do what is possible with a controller no more no less.

So you have no clue as to what I was talking about? Good to know.

Treyarch finally introduced the dead zone sniping. Sniping used to be unnecessary hard with the wiimote, but now that the sniper scope behaves like the ADS it should be just perfect.

I really didn't think camping that was that bad in previous games that they needed to make SMGs so dominant in this game. I thought my last saving grace was going to be the SMR assault rifle but yet again the gun blows and has no where's near the power of the MK14 of previous game.
It's really frustrating. I refuse to run around with an SMG. It's not my style and never was. I'll just continue to find a spot where my SWAT is useful and camp there. This is actually making me camp more. With Type95/FAMAS I could move around a little and trust my reaction speed to get me a close kill. In this game that's impossible with the burst and single shot weapons that they give you.
This game is fun. But easily my least favorite COD to date.

Why all the SMG anxieties? The SMG seems seriously nerfed to me this time around. I can actually run away from an SMG this time without getting instantly plugged.
If SMGs are nerfed then I'm Santa Claus.
Because they aren't nerfed and are seriously powerful, plus with the smaller levels they are even more deadly. Sounds to me like you've been playing against bad players.

i bet you do lol
I never did that shit. It just seems like even though I'm right where I should be to knife, it doesn't connect.
Because you need to body hug people for the knife to be effective, thank god. No more of that insta-win button BS. Plus it isn't a samurai sword killing in a 180* flower, now you need to actually see your target.

Hmmm. I just haven't been terrorized by them like in the past. Maybe I'm just getting better at avoidance maneuvers. I also notice that assault rifles are way better at close quarters combat now - but then again it could be the same and I'm just getting better.

God damn fucking Strike Force shit. The difficulty is not scaled? Idiotic.
And limited retry attempts.
With no way to lower the difficulty. Oh but during a regular mission you can lower the difficulty just by going in the start menu. What back asswards trash.

I thought blops 1 did the knife well, I don't even try on blops 2 unless they're standing still sniping or something. If I'm in them and they move, miss.

No I just saw it on a Video posted in this thread. Sniping scopes now have ADS reach (think of normal ads behaviour) where they used to be centered on the screen. Now it's actually IR aiming instead of dragging. So most of the problems that existed with the Sniper scopes before (overshooting, unresponsiveness etc) should be gone now.
Treyarch really is on the frontline of Wiimote implementation and has allways been.
It's great to see them implement this feature as it improves on the IR control experience.
It also means that Scopes are now a legitimate option instead of having to rely on the Acog to get some decent use out of sniper rifles.
I honestly can't remember the Blops 1 knife, I do however remember the WaW knife being good. Treyarch do know how to balance some things.

Games are filled with people running around with an SMG w/ laser sight and hipfiring people to death from a mile away

Wii U version looks pretty rad. Really heavily considering picking it up on local launch.
Same thing on 360, but if you look at the challenges they require aircraft or killstreak kills. I assume the rpg is straight kills since there's no lockon. I'm almost gold with my stinger. Just have to kill 6 more ai controlled streaks, or was it player controlled can't rememberNot for me.
Is anyone on PC managing to level their launchers?

Agree with the IR superiority, Tho i'm pretty sure it was High Voltage software who did the fully customizable IR (dead zone, sensitivity, ads reach) with Conduit.
As much as i agree, i feel that if they use a new engine it will take away the "CoD" feel of the game that players are use to.

Seems pretty clear to me they have eliminated the worst kind of camping, for the most part. Sitting in a corner hiding is going to be a lot less successful. Laying prone in a distant part of the map is going to be a lot less successful. That makes me happy.
Except there's more than one mode in this game, they aren't all ADHD rush fests or at least, they're not supposed to be.

Incredible curious if there's gonna be a delta between a good WiiRemote player and a traditional control player.
Aiming looks really nice with the WiiRemote.
I'll have this guy hotlinked to see how the matches go.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
The absolute best part (well, second best part) of pointer aiming on the Wii/WiiU Call of Dutys is how the gun slightly rotates in your hands based on the angle you hold the remote. Feels really, really good.
Mostly what I was referring to
Having to run around a 200mph in hardcore is frustrating beyond words because one stray shot and you're dead. S&D even worse, as then you have to wait. I can see the Ghost change being good for most modes but it has severely cramped other modes.Just not enjoying S&D that much any more, neither are my friends. With all the sound nerfs, trying to remove sneakiness and tactical play plus the maps being so rush centric the mode just isn't magical anymore.

Is it just me or are the bouncing betties much faster to explode now? Also getting more use?
Also that crossbow has bailed me out numerous times versus window campers! Does it appear on radar when used? Seems to.
