Black Ops 2 revealed.

Do yourself a favor though. Next time you get sniped or quick scoped, remember the name of the guy and see how he did at the end of the game. Most times, I think you will find that they didn't do too great

When you get popped by a sniper it's jarring and memorable. Those deaths kind of stand out among the hundreds of others that come in other ways, because of the suddeness and the sound of the crack of the gun and the wiz of the bullet. But those guys are usually a kill, then a death, a kill, then a death

A camping sniper may sometimes get lucky and chain a few together, but due to the nature of how they're playing, the fact that Ghost no longer works if your stationary, and the style of the maps, they rarely last very long, before someone flanks them and kills them from the side or behind. Plus a lot of players that chose to snipe a lot, tend to be hacks. The kind of idiots that just keep going back to the top of the plane on Turbine, no matter how many times they immediately die there

Even the quick scopers go down soon enough. If they're good they'll get a few, but the aggressive style of that doesn't lend itself to long streaks, as they will always find themselves surrounded by enemies eventually and sniper rifles make you move slow, and quick scoping is only so quick. Not enough to take on multiple guys in the same space. I notice a typical game for quick scopers looks something like 20-18 or 19-22 or 25-25 or 31-33 or something like that. Always high numbers both ways, always close to breaking even, not affecting much of the result, just making said result happen sooner

Just had several games a row in different lobbies were snipers went 18-3, 20-8, 16-1 by camping and then running and quick-scoping. They need to rebalance this game, take out the ability to quick-scope completely, nerf the handguns, and nerf the shotguns. It is completely retarded that I can kill you with (1) 3 round burst f my pistol but it takes 2-3 (4) round bursts of an Assault Rifle. That and the range on the KSG needs to be seriously nerfed, there were several times I thought I was being wuick-scoped by a sniper only to watch the kill cam and see it was a KSG from mid-range. There is also no reason an AR should lose a gunfight to a pistol from mid-range...

They updated the game but gave some shotties more range and did nothing to the pistols, they didn't try to fic the horrible lag compensation in this game, and they never thought of fixing the sometimes broken spawn system.

My only real gripe with the game is the match making. It is probably the best COD I've ever played, but it could have been even better if there weren't such an inoridinant amount of lopsided games

I've never seen it this bad. Almost every game I'm in, all the best players in the lobby are lumped together on one team, while all the crappiest players are pitted against them. Games are essentially over in the first minute, most of the time. I don;t blame players for quitting out when the other team is all around them, and their are Orbital VSATS and Dogs and Swarms and VTOL Gun Ships laying waste, before the game is even a third of the way over

When I'm on the dominant team, it's no fun, because it's too easy and the spawns are flipping like mad and too chaotic. And when I'm on the shitty team......forget it. I quit out too

[Floyd1982]

I won't play against a bunch of campers or snipers. I move during my play style, no necessarily run n gun, I am a little more methodically but I still move. If a bunch of guys want to hold up in a building, guarding all aside, and laying down 10 bouncing Bettie's and shock charges, I will simply leave.

I get too mad and frustrated so instead of hating the game, I move on so I won't return it in a week or two from raging. It people want to do nothing but snipe or camp, that's fine, just don't expect me to play your game, just like I don't expect you to play mine, I will find a lobby where guys are willing to play aggressively or at least slightly more aggressively than laying prone behind a box...

I won't leave if the game is competitive but when we are getting slaughtered b/c we have two guys charging at the campers and goin 3-22, I'm not wasting my time getting blown away by score streaks...

The battle for my favorite gun is finally over

I have had many I've gone on about. Plenty I've discovered, rediscovered, fell in love with, fell out of love with. But the winner after it all, suprised me. For it is.........



The SWAT 556



I mean, I don't know what it is, but I just always do SO well with burst rifles. M16, Famas, M8A1, all great. But the SWAT takes the damn cake. 4 round burst is nice, but it's less accurate at range and burns through your clip so damn fast. The SWAT is just precision. It's power. It's Range. It's smexy as fuck

I can run in gun with it. Anti-snipe with it. Camp like a bitch with it. Chop it, mash it, stick it in a stew. Fettucini , linguine, martini, bikini. I'm currently using it with no attachments, trying to Gold it out, and I'm still beasting up a storm with it. Even it's reload animation is fast and awesome looking

I LOVE this gun this--------------------------much

Prefered attachments
Hybrid Scope
FMJ Rounds
Extended Clip

I'm over this game now. Something happened with the latest updated patch. Lag is choppy as f*ck, I played 10 games tonight and went positive 1 f*cking time. The made the FAL less accurate with more kick and didn't announce it but they did something with the Type 25 b/c I can't buy a kill with it.

I' a 1.6 k/d guy so I know I'm not doing anything different, something is seriously up with this game. I play aggressive and get camp-whored or can't win a gun battle, I play reserved and lay back and get shot in the back repeatedly, I play sneaky and it doesn't matter, guys are coming around corners, aiming down sight, and tagging me with enough bullets til I die and I can't even react fast enough to pull the trigger. The killcam replay makes it look like they had 2 full seconds to aim at me before I died but on my screen, nothing, just seems like a sniper shot.

There is some serious lag comp going on in this game right now and I don't know what to do with it. My k/d went from 1.62 to 1.55 in less than a day b/c of all this unreasonable bullsh1t that is going on in this game. I've tried the FAL, Scorpion, Type 25,Vector, Hammer, LSat, and the Scar H will all kinds of different perk set-ups and can't break even anymore, something is up with the servers, got guys jumping around like Michael J Fox off his meds but it doesn't stop them from hipfire killing me.

Yeah I stopped playing multiplayer a while back. You think it's bad with Xbox the lag is ten times worst on pS3. I'm running... Screen freezes... It comes back and I'm watching a kill cam. I'm playin almost exclusively zombies now.

[Floyd1982]

Dude, I seriously don't know what it is, I played again today and was getting owned again. I'm in a lobby where the highest k/d is 1.03 besides my 1.55 and I still go negative. I'm losing range fights to SMGs, mid-encounters with pistols, and haven't won a gun battle in 2 dAys except when I have a R870 up close.

I actually had a .33 k/d game before I raged out of it. I don't k ow how many times that I dies within 2 seconds of spawning either by a score-streak or shot. It has seriously boggled my mind, I don't understand it at all, I think lag compensation got worse and that is why I'm struggling, has to be something with my connection b/c I haven't done anything different.

I had to completely abandon the FAL now due to the added kick b/c I can't win a gun fight from a distance. Like how they didn't worry about that with any other AR that shoots like a laser....

[PatSox]

I think you two should just face it and stop playing

You seem miserable. There are a lot of other games out there

I was having fun with it up until this last update and then something changed. I'm hoping another update or patch will correct this or if it doesn't get better in a couple weeks, I will sell it.

If I get into grad school, I've already decided that I'm selling both consoles and games so they can't distract me...

[Floyd1982]

I think I finally figured out the problem: suppressors. Ever since I put the suppressor on the Type 25, it loses its kick. I can't win an up close gun fight with the thing, regardless of if I get first shot or not. I took the suppressor off, put on foregrip and extended mags and it has returned to its beastly place in my top 3 favorite guns. Here are my newest class set-ups:

The Lioness - Lions stalk their prey and attack when the time is right, they are ninjas and they pack a punch
FAL w/ select fire, suppressor and foregrip
Blind Eye, Scavenger, and Engineer w/ a Black Hat PDA.

Da Forrest Gump - Cuz I run n gun like Forrest motha f*ckin' Gump in this set-up
MSMC w/ Laser and the 3 round burst pistol w/ extended mags
Lightweight, Scavenger, and Engineer w/ Frag and Concussion

Death 25 - If can't figure that out, you're retarded.
Type 25 w/ Extended Mags and Foregrips along with the 3 round burst Pistol and Extended mags
Hardline, Scavenger, and Engineer w/ PDA & Semtex

Boom Stick - Hmmmm, wonder what gun this is?
R870 w/ long barrel and laser w/ 3 round burst pistol
Lightweight, Engineer, Fast Hands w/ Shock charges and Semtex

Campfire Doom - This is when I'm not familiar with a map, I set up camp and dare people to come near me...
LSAT w/ foregrip and red dot & Fully auto pistol for when somebody tries to flank me
Blind Eye, Scavenger (to replinish my Betties), and Engineer w/ one Betty

Usng these set-ups and actually playing to their advantages has netted me some pretty decent games again, played ~ 6 games and have one negative game, one game ~ 1.15, and the rest were 1.75 or higher. Taking my time and not trying to rush has helped me a lot unless i use the MSMC then I just bust caps....
