I really, really wanted to be good with the SWAT since I loved the burst fire guns in Blops (M16 and G11), but I'm just not. I switched back to the MTAR, and I'm doing a lot better.
Thinking of using a token on the SCAR when I get it, but I'm not sure about the fire rate.
I'm really enjoying the maps a lot more than MW3, but the spawns could be better. I think if they can fix the spawns, the maps will shine.

Updates will come and I"m sure we'll see proper fixes. But yes, I think the main stat for this game now is fire rate with guns. Though having FMJ rounds is pretty damn good too.

Quick scoping is so broken and unbalanced, I don't understand why this is in the game. I shouldn't be able to aim and fire my heavy semi automatic long range sniper rifle faster than an SMG.

Everyone must run and gun in BLOPS 2. Even the snipers. No, especially the snipers.
Sounds legit. Now those full rooms with even teams - that's the shit that needs to wait for balancing right there. 6v6 is such bullshit.

I actually waited until I unlocked FMJ for the SWAT to give up on it. I still wasn't getting the kind of kills I thought I should. I switched to MTAR (don't even have FMJ unlocked), and I'm doing a lot better.
I also had to level up my camping skills.

Well it's been a while now and I'm Prestige 3 Lvl 30 or so.
Just wanna say I never get mad at Call of Duty. I usually play solo and still do very well. My k/d towards the end of MW3 was a 4 and my w/l was a 2.10, which isn't bad for playing solo.
Now with black ops 2. Even if i know a guy is coming on uav and i'm in cover and i shoot first, i still die and sometimes they are even using a silencer and win the gunfight. I'm also very disappointed in the downgrade with the demolition spawns. MW3 demolition spawns were the best in the whole call of duty series and it's so sad to see that go
So i gave this game a few chances. At first i thought it might be UAVs or who knows what, but this game is just annoying for me and doesn't even feel fair with the gunfights. In MW3, if i saw somebody coming on radar, i would easily pop out and kill them. This game i have to shit my pants knowing somebody is coming and most likely i die and lose the gunfight somehow. In MW3 my accuracy was 25%
I think now i'm either gonna go hard in Black Ops 2 zombies for those leaderboards and for fun or just play Modern Warfare 3. I'm not sure yet, but this game is a huge downgrade in so many ways to MW3.
If MW3 had the same scorestreak system, that'd be the perfect game in my opinion. It'd have to be something crazy new in the series for it to blow my mind and be better.
EDIT: Also if anybody cares, i'm rollin with a 2.20 k/d right now in black ops 2 and i even had one of my friends send me a message saying "how are you so good at this game already?!" when i'm pretty disappointed with that. It's not that i care about the stat, but havin a 2.20 means you die a lot, which means the game is frustrating for me. I'm still surprised people think 2+ is good. Anything below 2.5 is garbage to me. If i see that in a lobby, i think they're easy kills in my head. 2.5 to 3 is decent and the player has gun skill and i'd say 3+ is elite players that are great at the game. This has to go hand in hand with them having a lot of objective play on leaderboards, but idc about w/l cause thats just how much you play with a party.
mw3 was horrible.

If the matchmaking was perfect, wouldn't everyone have a K/D around 1? I mean, when you go like 3 or 4 you're clearly murdering tons of people that aren't as good as you.

Putting your emblem in the bottom left corner in FFA was a nice touch.
Doesn't seem like gun emblem works though or at least not on the FAL. I regret prestiging that twice now lol
how do you see the custom one in game? in the lower left corner

Still is. MW3 is fucking horrible. This game is very good. Has some quirks that will be patched, but mw3 will always be terrible.

At least it doesn't have horrible lag compensation (anymore) and hit detection. In BO2 I have to use a shotgun 24/7 due to lag compensation because any weapon that isnt a one shot kill is worthless do to the shitty netcode that treyarch shipped with.

One thing. The rest of it is still shit. And it shipped with lag comp just as bad.
I'm sure its just matchmaking like Treyarch says. Ur just not being matched up with people who suck as bad as you or I. I don't care if you pump a full clip center mass after you get the bust - you suck and your opponent will 1 shot you. Now to add insult to injury, the killcam will show you wit a thumb up your ass since, you know, you suck and don't deserve to watch you pushing round after round into someone.

Exactly most of the time on the killcam it shows me shooting at them and never hitting them but maybe once, when on my screen I hit them 3-5 times. Its ridiculous and this game really needs to be fixed. its horrible compared to MW3 right now.
I am playing MW3 right now and it plays like a COD should, not I shot you 4 times and you magically turned around and killed me.

That is exactly how MW3 played for me most of the time.

Only things I miss from MW3 is the netcode/hit detection and Specialist. Black Ops 1's hit detection was flaky. It definitely shows in this game when everyone is running around with lightweight and hip firing around corners to red dots that are constantly visible on the map. The game's hit model or netcode just can't keep up with the frenetic pacing. BO2 also limits your lobby selection due to the new skill based matchmaking. This is why you're often in lobbies with people around your skill level, btw. I don't know about you but I don't often come around 2kdr+ players in MW3 as a solo player. Most were .25 ~ 1.75kdr. Every five or so games I'd come across someone with 2kdr+. I see 2.0kdr in my lobbies more often in Black Ops 2, and very rarely below 1.25kdr. I'm wondering how many good connections they are cutting out just to match my skills with someone. 2/3 bars is what I've been getting these past two days and it sucks.
I just hit 2000 kills with this gun. I've found it as a great way to counter smg users.

Do you have bad internet?
The lag comp is out of control right now and needs to be addressed. Its ridiculous how I can unload bullets into these motherfuckers and yet they kill me in one shot. I swear its as if some people are playing on turbo speed mode while others are stuck in slow motion.
All the bells and whistles Treyarch added to this game is meaningless until they do something with their netcode and lag comp.
Its fucking bullshit.

WELCOME TO BO2.
Thank You.
I like how most people dont understand this. If it wasnt for the lawsuit alot of things would have been different today.
Yep. Its even worse for my preferred playstyle - the bomb-setter. I can still manage a + KD in other "plant bomb" style MP modes in shooters since i'm quick with the trigger but its extra fucking hard with this lag comp. I'm the guinea pig - I try to pull shooters from the woodwork so my team can down them and make a proper run for an objective. I take a few people out along the way but in this game its next to impossible unless they are eating a burrito while playing.

At least they found a use for the sniper guns. I cant think of any map that has a decent line of sight for regular sniping.
Totally agree. MW2 was great because the game catered to all types of play styles.
This game masks the lag in the exact same way that MW3 did at launch, where it 'feels' ok, but in reality you're .2-.5 seconds behind whoever you're shooting at, guaranteeing that you will lose every single heads up firefight against an SMG or shotgun user, and a lot against midrange opponents as well.
It's absolutely fucking infuriating. Give the host advantage back, I don't give a shit if ONE person gets to own while everyone else is either a) fine or b) VISIBLY lagged to fuck.
I'll take that over the way this plays right now, because I can't tell if I'm fucked until I'm in the game and losing all my firefights for no apparent reason.
I'd call it nostalgia, but uh, I've been playing every cod over the past few weeks to warm up for this one, and CoD4/MW2 are just flatly superior.

Ha, gonna have to try this. It's not too far from what I've been doing already, just that I've been using the Tac-45 instead, and Lightweight instead of Flak Jacket.

If you bought the digital version from Amazon just send customer service an email about the preorder dlc being deactivated, they gave me a full refund.
I make sure I see an elprez vid every night.

As a tech layman-why can they simply not use the same netcode from MW2?
Considering exchanging the Wii U version of this game for the 360 version. Is it actually that much better? Hellllllp.
No still the same shitty MP experience.

any guesses on how many rookies there are on average for each new CoD game? quality of players seems down this time on PC at least (I have no problem with it, I'm usually not that good )
maybe playing CS:GO for the past few months has trained me well...
