This time last year I knew all the streaks and perks and the like for MW3, the only killstreak I know is in Blops 2 is the rc-xd, other than that I've no idea, I kinda like this going in blind thing, is anything looking like a gamebreaker? is Ghost back?

Yup. Ghost is back with some other perk in another tier that keeps you off enemy equipment.

Servers are up and the main complaint from people so far is that snipers are OP, Treyarch caving to 12 year old quickscopers.

The only complaint is Snipers? Really? o:


Me and Ade kept saying the submachine guns look like they had no recoil, surprised that wasn't an issue.

Mr. Manager

From what I've played so far none of the guns have much recoil.

Shotguns seem really hit n miss regarding distance hitmarkers.

Hmm, not sure if good or bad. Shotguns in BO1 were fun in some cases then in others they were terrible, like the Stakeout pre-buff.

The current CoD die hard fans still like their laser guns it seems.

As for Treyarch completely caving in to the prepube numpties regarding quickscoping.. assuming what has been said in this thread is true, I'm slightly surprised. I know I shouldn't.

I was watching the IGN Stream. The scope in time is 'quick' and it seems to autoaim easier than other snipers in the previous games and there is little to no sway.

Thar ya goes.

Mr. Manager

There's attachments you can put on the sniper which makes you aim faster, paired with some other perk that makes you ads quicker from sprint makes it a lot easier than BO I

AGB_Ghost

I can't wait to make a ton of combinations in terms of gun handling. I really want to try the M8A1 since the M16 isn't in BO II

You also get a soundtrack CD and exclusive player cards. It's worth the extra €20 cos I ordered my Hardened edition for €70 which isn't much different than the standard price for the extras. Nicer casing, also.

It'll probably be 45 or so in tescos, maybe less.

Snipers being easier to use is good news for PC players imo, automatics on PC just smash everything thanks to superior aim, if there is little recoil on them in blops2 it'd just make them by far the best choice. The snipers weren't bad in BO's 1 but were much harder to use than CoD4.. which the competitive community had to create pro-mod for just to make it viable and balanced, taking out sway etc.

Obviously with there being no auto-aim it'll make it somewhat more balanced. don't really care about quickscopers on console.. since even on MW2 i shat all over pretty much anyone that was using a sniper, no matter how they tried to use it. Certainly were never overpowered imo, just something for people to whine about when they die tbh.

Having watched 20 mins of that, map colour pallet used aside, put off by the game again. If it's true about Nuketown being available in standard copies of the game. I'll wait if I do decide on picking it up.

With BF3 DLC on it's way in a couple of weeks time, along with Hitman, Far Cry 3 and currently Assassin's Creed III. I'm sorted.

Disappointed with what I'm hearing about quickscoping, I usually find IW games are far more popular for the quickscoping so I'm hoping it be as bad as an issue in Black Ops II, but sounds like it will be.

The amount of complaining about quickscoping is unreal . They decided to add a trail to a sniper rifle bullet so the person sniping can't camp but they can quick scope and everybody is now having a right moan about it . They had to balance the game so everybody can have a fair experience so they decide to go with quickscoping but make it that a sniper can't camp which alot of them do . Maybe they should take out snipers out of the game to please some of the moaning because they can't seem to win what ever they do .
