So I played it for a while. PS3 version.
I've been bossing it on certain levels like the yacht stage but suck terribly on stages like the one in the desert with the plane in the middle.
Match making glitches need to go.
Sound is WAY better than MW3. MW3 didn't sound uncompressed. This does. And the surround sound is much better as well.
I don't see that I can get the thermal scope... am I missing it? I'm a surgeon with it in MW3. I'll need it here.
Overall decent game. I'm going to play it more to find out if I truly like it. Not a large fan of the Treyarch versions but since the other team is a shell of its former self, I guess it doesn't matter who COD is made by as long as they polish and expand on what's come before.
Oh! And I can't stand the unskippable intros! Why do I have to wait over 45 seconds to get to the game???

It's stupid as hell, I agree. I'm hoping this stuff gets fixed with these "backend, hotfix, patch" stuff. Having it open actually has improved my game it seems.
I think target finder is the new thermal. It's actually pretty good. There is a perk that works against showing the red box on the enemy, but that really isn't a problem. There's also the MMS scanner that detects heat signatures within 25m, but it's sooo slow.

Yeah, Pistols are okay in this game.
Thermal is called Dual Band in this game and it's only on LMGs, Sniper Rifles, and the Crossbow.
You can set the game up to boot straight to MP from the menus. It's quite a bit faster.

First time playing today.
Ooooooh. Yemen is pretty.

Ah thanks! Was trying to use the Go Prone and Prone Toggle buttons to do it, didn't even realize there was also a Change Stance button that works console style (press to crouch, hold to go prone) that I can set to CTRL and solve the prone/crouch control issues I was having in my gameplay by having them in separate buttons.

Suppressors may be powerful but I get no satisfaction using them. "pt pt pt pt".
I need to hear the power of my gun.

I used the target finder and it almost seemed like cheating. I guess the thermal is too.
I'll take a look at it, thanks.

Worst map-Turbine or Cargo?

Turbine
I don't get the Turbine hate. :|
It's probably my favorite map.
I would says either slums or overflow for me. Cargo is certainly up there.

Slums is fine, overflow is on the bad side too and so is Yemen

I got my first AGR! So much fun to throw the marker and airdrop it into enemy territory. It got me about 12 kills.
Oh, and Carrier is the worst map. It's the only one that really reminds me of the terrible, cluttered MW3 maps.

So shock/bettie are bullshit skills but you run with them yourself?
Oh, definitely. Hey, I never said this was some kind of "honorable" class, just seemingly a pretty effective build that isn't laser smg or scavenger betties + sniper.
Somebody told me to nix cold blooded but after using target finder, I can see why I was dying a lot behind cover, it really shuts down "headglitching."
If I was less scrubby at this game I'd just go finder + grip and get another perk, but select fire is less work.

MSMC + Laser + Long Barrel + FMJ = Holy shit

You really don't need Grip. Recoil barely exists in this gun.
I've been rocking the MSMC as my SMG since I first unlocked it. It's fucking great. Then again so is basically every SMG.

when this game is working it's fun, good maps for run and gun. But the game can get boring quick because running and gunning is the only way to stay in the action. Whenever I try to slow it down and play more methodically I get bored out of my mind because most of the areas with any mid range sight lines are chokepoints that see little traffic. There are some decent long range sightlines in these maps, but those cater to snipers really. It's hard playing this game as anything other than a rusher.

I really dislike these strikeforce missions. How big of an impact do they have on my ending?
Ugh...had to deal with this bullshit in Assassins Creed and now COD

So I tried theh FAL select fire with a surpressor and target finder. Holy shit, I want it to have my babies.
We agree? Tha fuckkkkk.

:lol
Not sure how anyone could argue that's not one of the most solid setups.
anyways, that robocop class looks fun. Will try it tomorrow. Hopefully can hit third prestige by friday.
Then of course I get the update when IM going ham. Smh. I was getting two or three blackbirds in one life followed by a warthog and a warship. I was having so much fun. But instead I'm the only one out of my party that gets the update while my friends are playing on the previous version. Was I doing too much?! Hmmmm?
YOU CAN'T PATCH ME TREYARCH.
Also.. Kill confirmed > TD from now on.

Select fire severely gimps the FAL's rate of fire. It might work for you, but a setup with FAL select fire is inherently weaker than one without.

Does Treyarch have a patch notes/hotfix notes list like they had with the original Black Ops?

I don't think I can play this any more.
Just played a few games and I just felt handicapped the other players had a supreme advantage over me.
Fuck you treyach/activision.
o hai halo.

Care packages are really good in this game, especially with engineer. you usually end up with a decent killstreak. I ran a uav, care package, loadstar set up and had some monster matches, you'd be suprised how many high killstreaks you end up getting.

hmm, looks like an update has been dropped for Black Ops just now, no clue what it's for though.
I think they said they're posting the patch notes up tomorrow
