FORUMS_

Seriously you are going to complain about the Pick 10? As odd as it is set up there is really nothing wrong with it once you get used to it. You really have to think about what works for you. Never in any COD title can you have whatever you want on your weapon or perks. They did it this way so that it is as balanced as possible.

Its pick ten as it says. NOT mix and match as you see fit.

Use your 10 points to pick your class, but realize that while you do so, Black Ops 2 gives you so much more freedom when it comes to creating your class compared to what other games have offered.

Once you understand and comprehend that, understand that Black Ops 2 gives you more freedom, not ultimate freedom.

You should be OK with that. With ultimate freedom, and the ability to pick what YOU want, it might be cool for you and fun for you, but my guess is that the fun would be taken out once people began to figure out insanely strong (or OP) setups.

For example, I like the trade-off between fast mags vs extended mags. Put those 2 together, and that's a pretty lethal combo. There are plenty of others out there that I can't think of right now.

Basically the restrictions in the pick 10 are all in the name of balance. If you can't understand that, then you are nothing more than the "cry baby" that you try and despise in your initial post.

why cant I have the long barrel and silencer as my attachments? for my "Pick 10" Oh you cant to that...

Probably because if you wish to increase the performance of your guns, you sacrifice stealth for it.  That happened in MW2 and COD4.  For MW2 if you wanted Cold Blooded, you had to sacrifice Stopping Power.  For COD4 if you wanted UAV Jammper you had to sacrifice Stopping Power.  Same with sniper rifles where you get a decrease in multipliers on parts of the enemy's body when using a suppressor.  I remember using a suppressor in MW3 for sniper rifles for the weapon challenges, and it was pain using them, the L118A being the most annoying to use with a suppressor, unless I used the post-patch SVD or RSASS given that I used Assassin instead of Quickdraw when sniping.  That's the sacrifice I made for not showing up as a red dot on the mini map.

In BO1 you couldn't have rapid fire and extended magazines on the SMGs but MW3 gave you a lot more freedom on attachment choice.  The great thing about attachments is I don't feel the need to use optics as all the iron sights (excluding sniper rifles as I've not used these yet) are good.  I don't have to put up with anything as obtrusive as the M60's irons from MW3.  Yay!

Oh yeah, in COD4 if you wanted Grip as an attachment on LMGs, you went without a perk and you couldn't even have a suppressor.
