I really want to say worst COD multiplayer of all time, outside of probably COD3, but I'm gonna give it some more time before I write it off completely.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II |OT| Black to the Future

If you are having a hard time with UAV's simply change your class to the default Operative to get both Ghost and Dead silence.
Not really? I found MW3 to be without lag or hit detection issues, but black ops was a turd about hit detection, and it had several issues with matchmaking and friends not getting into games with me.
That's what I'm curious about.
For Hardcore in most maps(except really tiny ones):
FAL OSW with Quickdraw, Laser, Select Fire, Hardlinder, Dexterity, Scavanger, Claymore and a Flashbang
That weap is really amazing. The Claymore allows you to camp a bit and get those kills.
For non Hardcore I use the MSMC as SMG with the same Perks and Grenades. Reflex Visor, Quickdraw and Laser as Attachments.
As fully auomatic AR I'm using the first one I think, called MTAR. But I'm rarely using that. Hipfire with the SMG is way more effective on close range.
edit: If you are trying out the FAL don't forget it's a half automatic rifle. So the first level will be a little bit tough until you unlock the Select Fire Attachment and can choose on the fly.

I heard that there was ment to be iron sights for the snipers.
Can anyone confirm this?

Sounds like personal problems rather than widespread. So far I have had no lag issues, joining issues or hit detection problems.
For me this has been the best since Call of Duty 4 purely because the maps are actually decent.
As for guns - The Type 25 is godly. It's great for any range and only needs the steady aim laser as an attachment.

You haven't with this game you mean? That's what I want to know before purchasing it. I want to know on X360 that hit detection in blops2 was remedied from blops1 and that lag isn't an issue on a solid connection.

I only played one MP match so far but I liked the campaign quite a bit.

This. Hopefully they fix this in a patch cause the spawn points are type terrible.
Also domination on that ship match is the worst thing ever. I do love the shit out of raid though

I'm still undecided on the maps. They don't seem to flow well, but I haven't had a lot of time with them yet. I do think they're too small for the respawn system.
I didn't have issues with either title on 360 so impressions probably won't help you.
Ah well poopy. I remember there being a patch for BLops1 for the hit detection, but it was after I had sold it already.
I think that's only in League Play (which is a completely separate option)? I'm not a CoD God or anything, but I'm coming off of fairly consistent 30 and 1 in games in core (aka not Ground War) playlists in BO/MW3 and I just went 17 and 24 in BO2 which I think is my absolute best game today, and I got the second scorestreak for the first time ever. I feel like I'm just missing something.
Nah, for what it's worth I really don't think that's it at all. I actually like the increased kill times (it's less of a shooting gallery), but it just feels like everyone else has stopping power and I don't or something. I'm going to setup a private custom game, I'm thinking there's just a gun or setup I need to find to start getting my groove going. Maybe I need some attachments, I'm doing so poorly that I've only unlocked one or two for these guns, maybe something there will click for me.
I will say that the maps already seem way better than what was in MW3 (at least on-disc MW3), and outside of part of my first match it's been totally smooth on 360.
Spawns are worse than MW3? I can not see how this could be possible.
No issues with this game no. As in every COD you will get small delays if you are not rocking the four green bars but the only issue I have seen so far is the amount of people who quit.
Okay this is reassuring. Thank you.
I'm still on the fringe on if I want to get this or not today. Hoping my buddy can give me his impression to before I head out from work in 2 hours.
What parts do you dislike? I'm liking most of the maps and the killstreaks aren't too obnoxious, so I'm enjoying it.
I just played my first couple of matches on the pc and i really, really like it. I think i'll be playing this for a while.
Also, first time playing around with the emblem editor:
That's fantastic. I need to see if I can re-create my blue slime from Black Ops.

Biggest complaint is the unlock system, and how Treyarch went out of their to make me play their game for 20 hours before I get to the stuff I usually play with (silencer and ghost).
The maps seem ok, but they're so small that you're constantly running into respawns. Kill one dude and then die as his 3 teammates swarm you from every direction.
I haven't found a gun I like yet either. I usually go with 3-round burst ARs, but the one you get at level 10 is ridiculously weak.
All these problems will probably be fixed by leveling up, but fuck Treyarch for making it such a long, painful grind. Especially after how awesome BO1 was. I don't want to run this dumb treadmill, I want to get the stuff I like and actually play the game.
That worked like a charm! Ta
edit: What's up with the audio in cutscenes? Sometimes it's quiet and then it's loud as hell.

I'm sure it's been asked long ago, but is there a site that details unlocks?
Okay, the staring SMG (MP7) is waaaaay better than the second one, this is a definite improvement.
I'm not clear from the descriptions, what (if anything) protects you from the Hunter Killers? I'm not sure if that falls under Blind Eye or Cold-Blooded, or neither. Also as an aside, I thought the remote-control cars were gone from this one :/

Someone probably already asked this, but is anyone else having trouble redeeming the camo/cards code that came on the coin in the Hardened Edition?

The campaign so far - futuristic stuff is really cool, flashback stuff is really dull.
Gonna jump into MP now.

Why do i constantly have the feeling i'm a split second behind most people ?
When i get in a 1v1 i almost always die in a split second and watching the killcam reveals me just running there doing nothing when the dude just casually shoot my brains out.
Sometimes i think my ping is just to good and i always get the bad side of the "lag compensation"

Good fucking LORD. THIS was my main gripe with Black Ops. I absolutely hated this shit. I've been reading through this thread watching for comments like this one and was happy to see no one mentioning this, until now....FUCK

Man downsampling on PC on my GTX 580 causes big ole frame drops.

Been running into this on 360. Also seems to have way more drops to lobby than I experienced in MW3

They're a couple sections here and there where you're defending something for a certain amount of time, but for the most part it's a lot of forward progression with a limited amount of enemies(although there can be a lot of them!) can be cleared out of practically everybody and you can make your way through. It's not like CoD4 where you had to get past that invisible line to stop enemies from showing up.
It's good.

Treyarch really stepped up their game. This is MUCH better than Modern Warfare 3 so far.
Remember when Treyarch sucked and Infinity Ward was good? It's the opposite now. MP maps are solid and not tacky.

This is not on PSN, right?
AFAIR CoD4 only had that on 1 mission. Nothing like that one trench and hill section in Black Ops 1 where you have to press 'X' on like 4 barrels to keep the enemy from spawning?
I don't mind what you described as long as it isn't like the MW2 section where you defend the house. I wasn't a fan of Black Ops 1. I might consider renting it for Campaign and giving a swing by for the MP.
I'm getting destroyed as well. I don't consider myself pretty good at the previous games but I tended to keep my K/D ratio above 1.5 in every match I played. I'm feeling the same pain you're feeling. Not sure why it's like this.
Wow... just wow at people saying that this is the worst multi in the series. Are you ****ing kidding me? Really? My god can it be any more obvious at this point that it's a trend to hate the new thing? There is no way any rational person would say this is the worst in the series. That's just ****ing stupid. Sorry.
