COD 4 was grand. Don't know why people get so upset about the whole thing. Only time I find it annoying is when some little **** on my team is trying it in SnD for the GWK and he's the last alive.

(****) Quickscopers/Snipers on/as the opposition? EASY MODE

I'm the same, lobby full of snipers on the other team means an ac-130 for me :pac: lightweight spas, sorry lads, try a gun that fires more than one bullet at a time.

I love doing the reptilllian run towards someone with a sniper and them franticly trying to quickscope me.

its even funnier if you dont shoot them and run around them in circles watching them trying to panic knife you

For PC definitely Sniper Only Severs.


For Public console games, no, there will be the ability in private match to restrict all classes to snipers only.

pretty sure sniper lobbys have been confirmed ? Could be wrong.

First person shooters for a long time have had instant or near instant death kills by knives

And thats why the majority of folks hate tubes , knives and snipers in FPS games. Their insta kill weapons that a player rarely has an active counter to. I dont mind being killed by someone in a fair firefight but when Im insta killed by some ****ty MLC player that moved at unreal speed so much so that turned what should have been a major disadvantage weapon into a massively advantaged one. Same goes to quick scopers, at most quick scoper ranges of 50m or less snipers are more often than not one hit kills meaning no chance of a firefight and at its core thats why people play FPS game.... to be challenged in a firefight, not instantly killed by weapons / perks not fit for the purpose.

Sure there are steps that can be taken to attempt to minimize the risk from these types of players but more often than not taking these steps leave you at a massive disadvantage when you come up against players playing the game as intended totally unbalancing the game in turn. eg avoiding CQC situations to avoid MLC players instantly killing you means you avoid sections of the map entirely ruining game movement ad flow. The same can be said for quick scopers who gravitate twords long corridors in order to make thier shots easier, a valid tactic yes but not for someone with a one hit kill weapon such as rockets and snipers. Then it simply becomes cheap.

Noobtubes and commando are completely different from being killed in a single shot by shotguns/sniper/desert eagle or magnum/lmg/ar or smg. Getting shot from a bullet or shell from any of those and it's respawn in 3.. 2.. 1... It makes perfect sense for the same 50 cal bullet fired from different guns to kill all the same. The first fps had health and armour percentages as you were generally some sort of super-human soldier and many of the current crop have regenerative health systems being closer to a normal super soldier. I don't like being killed by someone quickscoping but since mw2 never really tried or was able to incorporate what a true sniper does they had to make them powerful in order for players to use them. In black ops the guns in general are much weaker especially sniper rifle which unless you use the psg or l96 you're at a big disadvantage, and even then they're underused. If a gun is weak, then the majority of the community won't use it and if it's strong it's ubiquitous.

Noobtubes in mw2 are horrendously overpowered and there was a very poor counter to them in blast mask, which cost you your mini map and any offensive equipment. Combined with oma and danger close they ruined mw2. You can tell pretty much straight away in mw2 if there is noobtubes fired in the first 5 seconds that your team mates or opponents are cheap players. Commando isn't as much as a game breaker more so extremely cheap but it's still crappy dying from someone teleporting through your bullets. Complaining about sniper rifles being overpowered has been around for ages and isn't limited to the Cod series, look at CS and Halo and watch how deadly they are.

If there is no killer game breakers like dc/oma/noobtube or m/l/c in mw3 I'd be surprised seeing as there is so many options for crafty (read sh*tty) players to experiment with and take advantage off. When mw3 hits and people are complaining about a certain gun or class of gun being overpowered or overused and not a combination then I'll be pleasantly surprised that it's not turned into the clusterf**k of perks and killstreaks I had feared all along. But whether that happens or not remains to be seen.

I want barebones in this. 'Twas actually well fun in blops. Some great games and feck all dicks

Not always the case, lately I'm finding hardcore team death match is just filled with campers hiding in dark corners.

Considering the cost of COD ELITE I think I'll just wait for a price comparison and get the regular version for cheap in harvey normans.

Hardcore is a diff playlist though ain't it? barebones has no kill streaks or perks and no attachments. Would've loved Domination in this playlist.

I avoid hardcore due to the excessive rape'age of my noobness.

I used to despise Hardcore but now I love it, the m16 is an utter beast of a gun in that mode, its a headshot machine. stick 3/4/5 as your killstreaks and slow down your play style and you can own people on hardcore,it really ups your skill level playing with no uav for most of it
