Been playing again tonight and yeah the first warning for Lightning Strike is still there, must have been an audio bug last night.
But as you have already worked out it has reduced the time to drop after calling the bombs in, down to ~2.5s from ~4s apparently.

What attachments do you guys use on the Pharo? I've been using it with QuickDraw + lasersight for a bit now, and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.
I have Quickdraw, Laser Sight and Stock on it right now, no sights. I've never used Rapid Fire on it because I always prestige it right away but that's supposed to be really good on it too.
I change it up from time to time, but I would say quick draw, stock, grip, and elo sight work great for me. I may add another attachment like extended mag in there

I agree with most of this. I've been saying this for a while. It feels like the game has devolved more and more into one playstyle through the past few CoD games. It's super disappointing, and as a long time player of the series, it makes me sad. It also makes me think this might be my last CoD game unless things change. And I've been playing CoD multiplayer online since CoD 4.
Went against bots for two long runs of hard point to get used to sniping for a bit to get used to it for regular MP and man, it's actually working out much better for me than I expected with the Locus. Going positive, and actually helping with the objectives. I managed to get a few quick scopes in somehow instead of missing. PSSSSST sounds all over the map! Rather surprised how much I am enjoying it now.
I might have to drop launchers for a pistol because close qaurters combat is a pain still.
I disagree mainly because it was way easier in MW2 with aim assist.

If sniping is too easy what is everything else then?
It was probably a hyperbole, but you shouldn't be able to put a red dot and silencer on a drakon and it be a 1 shot kill.
You shouldnt be able to ADS with any SMG while already being shot by an AR or an LMG and get the kill yet here we are..

Drakon is only a one shot kill in the neck or head if I'm not mistaken. And don't sniper rifles in this game have no aim assist? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Sniping in this game is really enjoyable, and I'd say it's pretty skillful.

I've gotten killed by SMG's at farther ranges than in any CoD I can remember, even when I'm set up at a medium distance with an LMG. Maybe the UMP in MW2 could do some of that at those ranges? But my memory is fuzzy on that. That gun was a bit overpowered in my opinion.
AK74u in BO was pretty bad as well.

My memory is pretty foggy on that one.
Although speaking of such things, check out this ridiculous clip. Can anyone guess the SMG used before it shows up?
http://xboxclips.com/ShadowsFell/0af61b36-27ce-474d-94b6-b9932eec7d1a
Edit: What makes it even more hilarious is that upon watching the clip again, I realized that the SMG was using a SUPRESSOR at that range, as well.
I don't know I do just fine with ARs in this game. MW2 - UMP, CoD4 - MP5, BLOPS1 - 74u, maybe BLOPS2 - MSMC, were all worse than any SMG in this game. It's just that every SMG is actually good in this game why people think that SMGs run everything, at least that's what I think it is. I do just fine with ARs.
^ Oh damn that clip is pretty bs, can't say I've seen anything that bad; although you were still hurt.

I actually think that, while a few SMG's do need to be nerfed a little, it's not the SMG's that are the main problem. It's the movement system, unlimited sprint, and probably map design to an extent that ruins it. If you're playing domination, and being a tactical sniper in an elevated position, and someone has the ability to just hold a button and float right into a window next to you and spray at you with a Vesper SMG when you have a sniper rifle, what are you supposed to do about it? You're basically screwed. In the past, all styles were viable. In that past situation SMG rushers had plenty of tools to deal with such a person; flash bangs, grenades, shock charges, rockets, shooting through the wall with FMJ, taking the time to find a way to sneak in.
In the past a tactical sniper would largely fight with other snipers, LMG users and such. SMG users could still get around, but it took more wits, more tactics. Anytime I play with an SMG in this game I marvel at how easy it is to get around the map most of the time.
My stats are actually better in this game than they were in Black ops 2, but I had more fun in Black Ops 2. Because it felt like a much more tactical game with more interesting and varied ways to approach it. I like playing with SMG's sometimes, but I can see how disproportionately skewed the game is to that rushing SMG playstyle, while weakening the tools and viability defensive players, or more tactical players have.
I guessed VMP because it's always the VMP.

While I agree that this is kinda ridiculous you had taken damage from the other guy (who you wrecked up close with an LMG) and dude got a lucky headshot.
That said, I definitely wouldn't be against a slight range nerf for SMGs. It's quite embarrassing losing out to a VMP user from half way across the map when I'm running an AR.
I think AR's are the best overall weapons. SMG's do encroach in AR/LMG distances though, which is really my only beef with them. Even though I'm not a fan of the runny spazzy flippy playstyle, plenty of people are and I wouldn't want to ruin their fun. I think a 20 percent range reduction on SMG's would be plenty fair.
Whenever I'm killed before I can react, "it was a VMP" is always the first thing to come to mind. Apparently that doesn't discriminate over distances.
