EVERYONE HERE STOP HATING ON BO2!

Posted by Dark-Chaos on Nov 19, 2012 11:46 AM

Firstly, I would like to express my frustration after reading many of these discussions. Discussions which include but not limited to: Anti drop-shotting, nerf the SMGs, the lag is terrible, the spawn system is crap and all the other perfetic exuses for you to troll on about. For me, BO2 is by far the best COD yet in so many aspects. The game just feels so fresh and new. But no, the community decides to troll, troll and troll about everything else. In fact, I think I would even suggest a category on this forum for troll discussions.

 

The troll list:

 

Drop-shotting: Its a legit way to play the game, its always been in the game, the game is built for it (tactical layout and even challenges for it) and its actually harder to do, as you have to avoid diving to prone (aka dolphin diving.)

 

Nerf the SMGs: BO2 is pro-rusher and that was stated months ago when we was only hearing about the tip-bits of details. You should've of already noticed that the SMG's were going to be the best gun type. SMGs are pro-rusher (NOT pro-camper, you should be glad of that) If the devs are going to nerf them they can nerf snipers as well. Treyach aren't going to nerf the gun type of which fits their game design. The more players using SMG's the better. Its the SMG's which bring along the fast paced gameplay. Not to mention that using SMG's require a lot of skill. Your always on the front line getting a quick kill and then being killed (which happens a lot) while the snipers/assaults just take the rest. SMG's are the future of weaponry, guns don't need to be big anymore to be powerfull and have good range. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they got rid of assault rifles altogether, the SMG's can now do what they can  with more mobility.

 

The lag: Yes, Black Ops had terrible lag, I can confirm that after playing it for more than a year and being prestige 14, lag was ruining the whole game for me. So after experiencing game ruining lag in the first Lag Ops, I was praying that there won't be a sequel to it. You know what? THERE WASN'T. The game runs the best out of all the rest, not once have I had one of those WTF moments in BO2. I'm now a much better player and usually get in the top 3 players at least every game.

 

Spawn System: So what? It spwans you behind the other team. It stops spawn trapping and keeps you in the action. When you die you'll spawn behind them as well. Use a tactical insertion if you think its that bad or use some initiative, and watch your back. Treyarch (or one of the devs,  put a lot of time in perfecting it not for you to say its crap)

 

Anymore?

 

- OMG, if there's this much trolling for BO2 and can't imagine what response MW3 had.

 

Message to devs: Don't listen to all these haters, you've made a simply, great game.

    People are free to express their opinions in any appropriate way they see it around here.  Too bad nobody from the development group has meaningful dialog with them.

      I agree with both of you.

       

      OP, everything you stated was complained about since I started going to the forums on BO1. I've been a fan of gaming all my life (I'm 28) but I never ventured to the forums until relatively recently.

       

      It is a rusher game but by all means, camping is not dead. It's actually what it's suppose to be, a play style that requires skill. Everybody can try to camp but the good ones are very hard to kill. Bouncing betty's, scavenger replaces equipment, shock charges etc are all awesome tools for us campers (god I hate that word) to use to surprise the rushers coming into the 'fort'. Finally the skilled campers are actually rewarded for there skill and not grouped together and demonized with kiddies sitting in corners with Ghost/Assassin. Good post. Hopefully there are others out there in the CoD world who also share my view. If not, I'm the last of the "Camp-eecans". Lol

        Camping is and art in itself. are u telling me scavanger refills bettys and such as well. this would make some great D on domination.

          I gave you a like for your answer. YES! Any equipment. Shock charge, bouncing betty, claymore (which kinda sucks IMO compared to the betty) flashbang, frag etc. It' amazing. At first I thought people would be going crazy over this feature BUT remember that Flak Jacket counters all lethal explosions and tactical mask counters shock charges, flashbangs and concussion. I am really surprised that people don't use this perk more.

           

          I will spill a little secret: try laying your betty but also place a shock charge on the ceiling or wall or any concieled location as long as it's near your betty. This way, when a person using marathon runs over your betty the shock charge freezes them in place just long enough for your betty to launch and BOOM. Amazing tactic!

           

          Edit: I can't remember if you get the 'shock' points too.....probably not since yu get the kill in the end (not assist). Either way, happy hunting!

    The game is SMG crap. they are half as accurate as they should be ar range. As of right now, Im taking snipers out at *their* range hipfire full auto while moving. Snipers scope time is BS for a rush game. take the calss out if you dont want quickscoping snipers to defend themselves because they have tracer bullets saying here i am. The maps are too small, with 3 ways to any given sniper position in pistol range.

     

    Im just sick of having to use an SMG against other good players with SMG, there are so many guns but only 3 usable?

      I don't agree with you one bit. With each weapon comes a dominant tactic. You shouldn't run and gun with all weapons. That's stupid.

        true enough, each gun has its own tactic, but the maps and range the SMG covers dont allow for much against it. Im talking about playing good players who leand on their SMG's. Tell me you cant pick one up, run the map and just mop up. u might get killed a few times but you Will dominate every other class unless your new.

      Ive had laggy games for sure (PS3) but I have had more positives than negatives too. I don't have garbage net. It's your tactics that make you or break you. The games not perfect but it's far better than MW3 IMO. Just wait until the first patch rolls out so that bugs can be fixed and then judge. Just my opinion.

      20 meg connection i5 sandy bridge, 8 GB ram, dual mon support graphics card.. ya im laggy nub.

      What makexs you think i suck? i rock it up every round run and spray is all you have to do and im just sayin it gets old.

      Id just like to use another gun as a viable option against smg (other than shotgun), cuz im talkin aginst good players who lean on em, it is the only answer to put them down over and over.

       

      I do seem to be having some mouse sensitivity issues in game, they speed up supper fast and slow down at random durations all on the same setting. but im hearing mroe and more of that

    Sorry, but the SMG class are totally overpowered and overpaced. He can run literally 100 cirlces around you before he kills you. 3arch absolutely missed to take this massive speed advantage out of the class. And no, SMG's require no skill in this game. Hipfiring them is nearly 100 percent accurate. WTF? People that aim properly get in this disadvantage and through the bullshit high speed movement they are nearly impossible to kill.

     

    Also it's embarassing the the developer dictates how to play the game. And you disqualified yourself by "SMG's are the weaponry of the future". So soldiers slap a zoom objective on their MP7 and start to snipe insurgents that are one mile away? Come on you must be kidding.

      Well put. Jumping and dolphin dive while full auto targets at range hitting exactly were my laser pointer beams is fun to do but BS overall, and made it a very short game imo.

      I agree entirely with you, anyone who thinks SMGs are the main weapon of choice is a massive faggit. I mean, think about this, if SMGs are the one Treyarch wanted everyone to use, then wtf is the point in all the other classes?! They wanted everyone to use their own tactics?! So why make maps made only for SMGs and make all other classes pointless?

       

      SMGs should have the lowest ammo capacity, damage and range out of all classes, with the highest recoil. I mean, in game though they should do it by those stats mainly.. but it says they are deadly up close... they shouldn't be deadly far range... if you want to "run and gun" which requires no skill at all and is completely boring, that's fine but people like that should lose every game!

       

      This is what is making a lot of players leave the COD franchise and going to BF.. and to be quite honest, I am thinking of doing the same..

    I agree with all of what you stated except for the smg part for obvious reasons, and the lag. The only thing you talked about concerning that topic was YOURSELF. You haven't talked about other people who might have experienced lag. You haven't stated that there will be people who will be on the wrong end of lag compensation. This is not about you and never will be. People will experience lag whether you like it or not, so don't try to automatically say there isn't any lag in the game just because of what you experienced. That's what is called bias, and there is no room for that in this thread. Why should people have to be called trolls just because they happen to experience it? They are free to say what they find is wrong in the game just like you have in Black Ops 1. I didn't experience any lag in Black Ops 1, and I definitely do not not think that others didn't also. For all I care, you can say what you want about people (including myself) who are saying that there is severe lag compensation in this game. The only thing you managed to prove within your post was that you are 1 person out of many in the community who likes to put bullshit in his/her thread that is neither legitimate nor helpful.

    Im a CoD Vet, I've been around Since "Call Of Duty" (PC) and I will say, this cgame has come a long way. It will NEVER be perfect but IMO there always stepping in the right direction, well Treyarch anyway. IW went from a great company to little more then nothing. Sadly..

    screw smg's they should not be a powerful gun. i agree with them being good for rushing but rushing in every game gets booring. i like to use diffrent weapons styles and get rushed on constantly ith a person flying at you and you dump half a mag of assulat rifle or heavy machine gun and they don't die and they hit you with 2 rounds is BS.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they got rid of assault rifles altogether, the SMG's can now do what they can  with more mobility.

     

     

     

    1) Why is fast paced gameplay better than strategic gameplay?

     

    2) How does using an SMG require skill or more skill than a person using an AR or Sniper? 

     

    3) How does getting a quick kill and than dying help your team?

     

     

    Let me answer my questions for you.

     

    1) It is not.  A strategic team will beat your fast paced team everyday of the week.  By all means please keep running around, dying and messing up the spawns.  I will rack up the wins and you can watch as I pick you off from a distance.

     

    2) It requires no skill to let auto aim get you kills.  The person using the SMG hardly ever aims, sprays bullets everywhere hoping for the computer to kick in and get them the kill.  I am not sure how anyone could say this takes skill.  All you are doing is hitting the trigger.  While the sniper or the AR person is aiming down the sights, shooting at your head or chest, in an attempt to take you down.  Also, the SMG users are relying on the fact that their gun fires faster so that they can do more damage quicker. 

     

    3) I don't care what gametype you are playing going 1 for 1 does not help your team.  There is rare instance it may help delay the enemy from owning you if you happen to be rushing in to defend an objective.  Even then it will likely still hurt your team in the end because you have not pushed the enemy back off the objective you have just delayed them in taking it.  Maybe you can respawn and keep preventing this from happening in some matches.  However against a skilled team they are going to keep pushing.  They will slay you until they control the map then they will capture and move on.  Eventually they will have you spawn trapped and you will be sitting there at with a k/d of .2 going WTF happened. 

     

    The game needs to be balanced in order for it to work, this (the SMGs) are one of the things Treyarch needs to balance.

     

    There is a legitimate complaint against the SMG's they are far too accurate with little to no recoil over large distances.  They should not be able to maintain the accuracy and high rate of fire over a distance.  The AR's are more accurate because it takes longer to ADS and they don't fire as fast.  also, SMG's should not get the benefit of auto aim assist, or have a huge spread if not using the laser steady aim attachment.  Again this is another balancing issue.  We each can only take 10 items in our class if you want to hip fire you should have to use the laser sight.  This means you leave out a silencer, a sight, or a perk. 

     

    Regarding your other points -

     

    The lag comp is a legitimate issue.  If you were 1-2 seconds behind your enemies you would have a hard time getting any kills.

     

    The Spawns are what they are.  Given the map size we are stuck with the current system no matter how bad the system is. 

     

    Drop shot or not I will still get the kill.  By now everyone should be able to adjust.  The only players that are surprised by this are new players.  The experienced players will just keep shooting and get the kill.

      Well said.....I am and always have been an avid AR user and I saw the SMG power creep up many installments ago. With all the great equipment, I've managed to head off many of the SMG users. Great post.

      Well thought, got my like for sure. but if you thik about it, even if they nerf down smgs range.. it wouldnt do any good because the small maps and their layout was designed with them in mind. Ya sure, there are open areas ideal for rifles, for every open area, there are at least 2 ways around it and put you in pistol range of defending positions.

       

      The bottlenecks are SMG holdouts rather than rifle holdouts due to view obstruction and their line of sight, they were not meant to be held from afar, as you have a 1 second window to drop what dashes by, and thats why snipers are never a problem.

       

      ill +1 to your no aim assist on smgs. I say give it back to snipers to put them back in this game.

        Agreed! Snipers have been improved since Blops 1. They were dreadful in that game... I did ok with them but I was better off using a pistol at such a distance. I think ARs need to have a little less damage to them, thing is, LMGs haven't even been mentioned in these posts at all.

         

        It's ok saying increase SMGs recoil and damage or RoF but what about some of the ARs? They seem to be getting less recoil everyday becoming the M4A1 with consuming a maximum of 5 bullets.

         

        I feel sorry for any LMG fans because it is pointless even having such a class! They should really organise classes before throwing anything in.

    I agree with you on every point except one - the lag. Justs because you havn't experienced it yourself doesn't mean it's not happening to others. This game is unplayable for the most part for a lot of people myself included.

     

    It's great there are some people enjoying the game as it should be so congrats mate. Keep playing. I agree with you for all the other comments you made except for connecttion, on PS3 anyway.

     

    PS: It's not my broadband. I have a 9 second ping with 150 Down and 15 up. Hope they patch it soon.

    The only thing that is legitimate to complain about is the Lag.  It is the biggest problem on the table at the moment in my eyes and needs to either go back to a single host connection based on connection to the host or they need to supply us dedicated servers so we don't have to deal with this problem in general.

    agreed, and smgs are not the only usable weapons, there are really good AR (MTAR Type 25 AN 94 Etc.) DSR is gold for me, so is my knife. And really, I think the people that completely rush in this game are easy kills, most of the time I shoot them out playing a more strategical style (setting up traps ambush and kill. Flanking is amazing in this game.)

    Lol...OP sounds like a dev trying to defend his copied game from the broken MW3 platform.  How pathetic!

     

    Activision and Treyarch only made this game to try to short circuit Respawn's futuristic shooter. Problem is, they don't have the talent or the knowledge. When IW lost the creators of this game, this series went downhill big time!  Lol. Kinda funny actually.
