[Black Ops 2] MegaBitch Thread

Had some f**ker use a trophy system hack on the opposite team last night. Every time someone on my team used a lethal/tactical it just evaporated. It even happened when I tried to use my hunter killer.

I know when playing Dom if trying to cap B flag at the start I have class with scavanger and 2 trophys, throw first one down, once it gets spammed second one comes out and if I don't get shot, bobs your uncle!

Does anyone get caught by a glitch where your gun disappears from your inventory? When you respawn, you start with the knife and nothing more?

Yea this has happened to me a few times with the peackeeper. I would be thrown into a game with only the smaw and a knife and no peacekeeper..

And always happens after a host migration I've found.

OK, bit of a rant here, no better thread to do it.

I have come to the conclusion that this game is one of the worst of the series (second only to MW2) when it comes to fairness. Your either raping, or your getting raped. The single worst thing that I hate is people leaving games and the way this game is designed - everyone seems to be leaving games far too easily. In MW3, people at least had the incentive to stay on with stacked killstreaks instead of this garbage. i'll bullet-point the rest of the **** that comes to mind;

- SR71 is by far the most OP killstreak in the game and can be got fairly easily

- Spawns - the worst of any COD and I don't say that lightly. Getting killed by killstreaks continually when you spawn in the middle of the map with not a building in sight is just bad game development. Spawnkilled in Hijacked, etc etc

- The Ballista with irons, my favourite gun, ****ing sways when aim, and your not allowed to use quickdraw as an attachment (wtf?) - so not only will you get sprayed at before you have a chance to aim, the hitmarkers on the gun are the worst in the game (even passes that slug shotty)

- Maps (my biggest gripe) - Such a massive part of the game & about 80% are designed for camping. I think the only decent one is Meltdown. The maps are generally ****e in this game and very cluttered. Take Drone or Plaza(?) for instance playing domination and think about where the flags are. It's a campers dream. No wonder there is **** all team players in this game in comparison to the rest of the CODs. There is also many maps that just seem like a crossroads or maze. it's like in Cargo, there is so many openings that you can be a skilled player but still get shot in the back by some random person. It's disappointing because Treyarch made great maps in BO's such as Summit, Radiation, & Grid, while W@W is my favourite COD.

There is so many more things but thats all thats coming to my head. This game did a lot right to balance some things, but they made fatal mistakes when it comes to making the game fun.

"great game"

wow just wow

^^^ with comments like that it feels like I'm playing a different game to everyone else. Getting spawn killed by killstreaks? Maybe take off Hardline or Ghost and throw on Blind eye. They've fixed a fair bit today too. The Ballista sway is gone. The 2 main overpowered SMGs have been weakened (though I fear not enough). So this leaves my only real problems people leaving which can't really be stopped as it's been an issue with every game ever and shotguns being a bit overpowered but I can live with that.

Great game imo and I'm aware this is the Megabitch thread but feel it had to be said.

i take your points. I'll just break down my answers.

1. Having to waste a perk on something that shouldn't be in the game doesn't make any sense.
2. I'm delighted the sway is gone (left my BO's 2 copy at home so haven't had the chance to play it yet).
3. This game is the worst I've seen for people leaving (particularly objective games, reasonings above)
4. The shotties deserved a buff.

The reason I really dislike this game is because of the maps. They mean so much to a COD series and they are pretty terrible in this game.

Go on and tell me how it's not? Improvement in every way over BO1 and MW3. I hated MW3 and love this. Was lukewarm to BO1. This has nearly all the improvements that are possible that people were looking for and still all everyone does is bitch and moan. I think the main problem some people have is that they are not good at it. I mean I'm nothing special but I have realistic goals for myself when I play it. I'm not going to get a swarm but I'm going to play the objective and see where I get.

A lot of people moan about it and these same people are the first to leave and not play the objective. Maybe it is only children who play it, no matter what age they are...

Have to agree with you, I find the game fun to play, something I didn't find in MW3. Yes, there is some sh**e in the game that annoys me, mainly target finders and the frequent (though not as bad as couple months ago) bad connection. But in general I think its an improvement. I would consider myself OK at the game, generally do well enough, but at the start I found it very hard to get used to, almost quit it completely if I'm honest.

The big problem with this game is people leaving mid-game. I don't mind taking a beating, and have done many a time. The only time I leave games is when I get put in a lobby and my team is getting absolutely slaughtered...lodestars, dogs etc running riot. I play the game for fun, and to me that's not fun. If I play from the start and that happens fair enough, I'll whip out the anti-killstreak class. But I hate getting put into games and getting annihilated because my team was feeding them killstreaks. Its not exactly fair if you ask me. Its the people who left the game in the first place that should be punished. I'd happily wait an extra half a minute or so to get put into a game that's just starting.

Well said. Its that bad that its a real disincentive to play the game. But that goes back to my point about killstreaks. They are imbalanced, especially without them stacking & the atrocious spawns.

As bad as they are, I can live with the spawns, they don't bother me a whole lot. They killstreaks are hit and miss, some are ridiculously overpowered and some are terrible. I believe it all depends on the game type you play. I personally play a bit of everything...hardpoint, kill confirmed, domination, demolition and headquarters. Kill confirmed is a joke, if you get a good lobby you can get a vsat in about 1 minute. Game over, you'll have another one a minute later plus your stealth chopper and whatever else you have on.

In saying that, I've basically had to make a number of classes to make sure I'm set for any killstreaks or bull**** the other teams get. Sentry guns and guardians are handy, just whip out the emp grenades. Anything else just blind eye and cold blooded...plus a launcher. Vsat is the only thing you can't get away from. Bouncing betty's and shock charges all over the place...engineer/blackhat class here I come. Everything has a counter, just a matter of making sure you have it ready. Gives you a reason to prestige...more class slots :pac:

I wouldn't consider myself good at the game nor any of the other previous CODS but I liked them a lot more more than this. Disliked MW3 at the end but this one I just never enjoyed. It's not like I didn't give it a chance I did prestige.
Think it's wrong to suggest people who don't like Blops2 are simply bad at it. Guaranteed there's some pretty handy players who hate it. My biggest gripe (and I accept it doesn't effect everyone) is the connection/lag. This might be at my end or not but never had this many problems on any COD/game. Also this is the first COD singleplayer I couldn't be bothered to finish.
Anyway your all entitled to y'er opinion and if you like it fine but you'll never convince me this heap of shyte was a good game.
Seriously doubt I'll by another Treyarch game at least full price.

I think most of the issues you raise have been dealt with above but "wasting a perk" is something I can't agree with. Maybe they shouldn't have grenades as you need Flak Jacket to counter them? Maybe they shouldn't have UAV as you need Ghost to counter it? It's exactly the way it should be. If you want to get killed by killstreaks but be able to run really fast then use lightweight. It's up to you if you want to risk not having a counter to explosions if you want to get killstreaks faster etc. The problem with previous CODs is that there were far too many things that didn't have a viable counter.

Hang on, I'm fully aware about perks countering other perks. That's fine. Having to use Flak Jacket because of grenade spam is fine also. But dying because the computer AI is terrible is simply not good enough. In Carrier, I died 5 times in a row the other day when a Lodestar was in the air and it spawned me in the wilderness and I couldn't run for cover, just getting spawn killed. This happens regularly when there is something like this in the air, especially when I join a game where the team I recieve are getting massacred. This of course go back to spawns, but yeah, why should I waste a perk on something that is the games fault. It doesn't make sense.

I too have given BO's 2 a shot. My K/D ratio is 1.81 with a Ballista w/ irons so I do well considering, and I'm a big team player.
