Shotguns are kind of OP especially the range on the Remington. I understand it's kind of hard to balance shotguns. Thy are usually OP or completely useless.

Not really shocked. Treyarch does a good job with their games. It's the monkeys at Infinity Ward that haven't released a good game since 2007 that make CoD look bad.



Same4, 5,7,9 were the good cods the rest were bad.

It may be better than its predecessor, but its still a stagnating FPS franchise that's designed for dude-bros and twelve year olds.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

I love all the COD hate. It's achieves nothing but grumpy guys on the web.

I would say it's more of a map issue than a weapon issue.
Currently alot of the maps are on the small side and encourage CQC, the only one that doesn't I would say is Turbine. I dare say that once they add some larger maps with DLC, we shall have a nice variety.

On a side note: Also looking very much forward to some basic big zombie survival maps. I find Tranzit to be the only large map and that is only really fun with organized friends, just some good old fashioned big maps would win some points with me.

Circle Jerkin' I got my wiener workin'

They need to re-release Call of Duty 4 with updated graphics. Keep everything exactly the same except for the graphics. If they did that I wouldn't touch another game for a long time.

Do everyone a favor, get some intelligence, grow a set, bust a nut, and shut the fu­ck up.

Its a fun game.

I particularly enjoy getting three to four sentries, placing them back to back in a circle in the open, and turn my mic on to hear the rage.

CoD4 is still good as it was. All the game needs if for Infinity Ward to go back to it, clear out the hackers, and somehow get a huge population again and the game would be golden.

but no they would not do that because they want money so they will release a new game while a game like CoD4 slowly dies sadly.

I play CoD4 from time to time but it's a gamble really if you get a a lobby full of hackers or not sadly.

Halo 3 is where the morons of the universe congregates.

I am thinking of an old story. "Three Billy Goats Gruff" (hint the troll dies at the end)

I don't buy and play any more Call of Duties after modern warfare 2. I'm done with the series.

Personally, I am mixed. I have to agree that the campaign is hands-down the best that Call of Duty has to offer, but after getting all of my challenges and story branch achievements, I can't bear to touch it again for a while, and this is because the cinematic aspect is still stealing the show. In fairness, that's what a campaign ought to be, but it made getting the challenges a royal pain the ass, since you can't get them in one swoop, and you have to finish the level for them to register.

I find that the multiplayer has a lot of great changes, and while nothing is innovative, it definitely sets itself apart from all of the other CoD games in positive ways. The pacing is like that of IW games, but unfortunately, the balance is also wonky like that of an IW game. I definitely prefer the multiplayer in the first Black Ops, but this wasn't a terrible effort, and the change is appreciated. If some of the weapons were tweaked, spawns fixed (come on, I'm spawning right in front of people on large maps), and lag comp be removed, this could be an amazing multiplayer experience by CoD standards.

And last, but certainly not least, I'll get to Zombies. Honestly, TranZit is just not what I thought it would be. It has awesome features such as the bank and fridge, but the map itself just isn't as interesting to me as previous Zombies maps such as Kino, Moon, Der Riese, etc. I find that there a lot of dry spells, because I often want to keep a zombie alive while I get to a certain area of the map, and if you're waiting on the bus, that can be a while. I dislike the mystery box selections, and while there are a few standouts, most of the guns just feel weak. That may be a reminder that you're gambling by hitting the box, but given that it's an important part of Zombies, I'd like to have a good chance to get a gun that doesn't shoot gummy bears. Before the release of the game, I was under the illusion that the items you build would be neat, but they're just in the same approximate areas every time and the assembly is more of a hassle than an interesting addition to the gameplay as a result. I might sound too nit-picky, but these things just make me want to play the Black Ops Zombies maps nearly every time I play TranZit, and the survival mode is without substance. I keep playing, because I want to feel like maybe I just need to give it time and develop an appreciation for it, but it just never happens. Here's to hoping DLC can give me another amazing Zombies experience, because this one was just okay to me. The game as a whole is pretty good, and while I seem very critical about it, I applaud Treyarch for breathing a bit of new life into a stale franchise.

Well because the owners of IW were fired and are currently in a lawsuit with Activision which threw the whole studio into turmoil.

In my opinion, yes.

Not good. I've been consecutively spawn killed on some of the larger maps, and as others have stated, they have catered to CQC quite a lot. You can also manipulate the hell out of the spawns on Hijacked, but I'd still consider that to be one of the better maps.

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

From what I've seen on YouTube, Blops 2 has the worst things from the past three Call of Duty games; the constant killstreaks from MW2, the poor hit-detection from Blops 1, and the lag compensation from MW3. Feel free to correct me if you believe that I'm wrong, but it seems like Blops 2 is pretty bad.

Killstreaks are pretty good (NOT MW2 LEVEL) but its a necessary evil as the Scorestreak system is a great way to encourage players to stop being useless killwhores and actually shoot down killstreaks and take out equipment. Not to mention everything bar the highest achievements can be wreaked by the Black hat.

Hit detection is pretty good IMO I have never had a situation where I legitimately hit a guy and it didn't go through. Not at all like Black ops.

And as for lag comp I'm honestly not sure what people are talking about. I've had no lag so far and I didn't get any substantial lag during my extremely short time playing MW3 but that's just me.

There just aren't enough moments in the day to rectify the wrongs of the past.

Ditto. Black Ops 2 might be a good game...but it's not worth 60 bucks.
