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

To be honest, i liked this game quite a bit. For not playing MW3, it had a pretty decent Campaign, hated the past missions though, but the rest was pretty decent.

As of late though, i'm seeing so many issues with it, and here's what i found:

-The Assault Shield is terrible now compared to the good old Riot Shield, way too easy to get screwed over properly cause it doesnt cover you properly.

-Knifing doesn't work well with the lunging and missing, or for the fact that you can be knifed through the Assault Shield. Tac-knifing doesnt work well either, and the Ballistic Knife while fun has too many issues as well(what did they do to it?)

-Spawning in many game modes is just atrocious, especially Kill Confirmed

-I'm seeing grammar errors and spelling mistakes in many of the parts of Multiplayer, like really?

This is just something i needed to vent about but feel free to state some of the things you were disappointed with.

Does anyone have lotion?

Is mayonnaise a lotion?

I would like to see examples of this now.

The lag compensation in multiplayer is pretty damn annoying.

Ad Infinitum

I only play Hardcore TDM, and it's amazing. My favorite CoD right now.

I would like to see examples of this now.

For example, in one of the categories of Camo unlocks for a specific weapon i would have to get on to remember, it says "With the <insert weapon here> equipped get so and so many kills. Then for the Skulls Camo it then says "With <insert weapon here> equiped do so and so task."

Signatures are for little kids.

I strongly disliked the campaign. I played up to the point when I was running through a village hitting people with a machete.

So much Lol at that part. Your character just went Hulk smash mode and started running around screaming and killing everyone. Way too ridiculous.

1) The primary feature of the new shield is to place it down and use it as portable cover. Perhaps this was done on purpose?

2) The knives were nerfed so they wouldn't be as OP in the other games.

3) Spawning has always been atrocious.

4) Examples? Nevermind, just read your above post.

1) Which is nice, but unless you're running a C4 Fast Hands/Scavenger combo, trying to melee hit people with it is impossible because you lunge and hit them, then try again and lunge past people then get shot in your ass or side because while on your screen you're keeping your eyes on someone, it says on their screen that they just shot you through the shield or in a body part that you know you had covered.

2) I can understand that, but they just broke it instead. Why not just do something like what Battlefield did and make it take multiple hits? Works much better than whats employed now.

3) Spawning on Rust was the worst i ever saw, now people look at you spawn, kill you, then you spawn behind someone else and it repeat it.

After waiting until Christmas before picking it up, I didn't expect too much from this typical CoD. However, I've enjoyed it so far.

The campaign was alright, not my favorite ever, but decent.

Multiplayer seems somewhat reasonable now that they took out some of the perks and the game seems to be a little bit less random.

Zombies is my favorite game mode but my only (minor) gripe with it is the annoying lava cracks in the ground.

The objective of war is not to die for your cause. It is to make your enemies die for theirs.

The things you are complaining about were intentionally done(aside from the knifing through the assault shield. They were done because in almost all the other CoDs, knifing was completely overpowered and ridiculous.

Stop arguing over imaginary -blam!-. May as well argue over Santa Claus. There will never be proof that there is/was a god - and before people start saying "HERP DERP PROVE THERE WASN'T ONE ROFLOLOL" well, you are the people who made it up in the first place so we know there isn't one
What created the big bang then? A coalition of genetically modified TR-909s with extra distortion?

The SMG's and shotguns are incredibly overpowered.

Welcome to Call of Duty, where the spawns are determined by placing a picture on a dart-board and wherever the dart hits that is where you spawn.

I wouldn't be surprised. They spelled the FAL with a grenade launcher in MW2 "FAL Grenade Laucher." They either rushed the text or didn't seem to care about it.

I actually enjoyed Black Ops 2. I have a few gripes with the multiplayer but nothing compared to those I had with MW3. Treyarch has now set the bar for Infinity Ward, but we all know IW will never meet those standards. My only major gripe is that Zombies is really boring now, considering all the maps are tiny.
