1. Automatic Secondaries- I play mostly HC, but noticed this as well in Core matches. The Automatic secondaries, the MP9 in particular . In Hardcore, people are using them as primaries, and I've lost one on ones at range with them. In Core, the Akimbo FMG9's are a running joke. Glad they are not using them in HC, but I have played several players in 1v1(Sorry to stereotype, but its typically the corner campers or quick scopers) using these, and no matter what weapon I am using, they seem unbeatable. Meanwhile, my Magnum .44 takes an entire clip in Core. Its effective in HC, usually one clean shot or a double tap will do it. Getting a little perturbed about the range and effectiveness of the MP9 in HC, however.
2. Inconsistent weapon effectiveness in Core- Been enjoying the 1v1's, but was put off tonight by how inconsistent the results are with various weapons. Been getting a lot of hit markers, which I know is par for the course in Core, but it seems that I can't get a grasp on what constitutes a kill anymore. I'll put an entire clip at range with a FAD but get killed by the enemy's MP7. I think what is bugging me is it doesn't even seem to faze them, they just keep coming as if a fly was bothering them rather than being hit in the chest with bullets.
3. Connection or... ? - Had a lot of instances lately where I will be shot by guys who seem to have zeroed in on my position before turning the corner. Whats maddening is that if there is a killcam, I can see where I am visible on their screen long before they were visible on mine. Plus, the shots I was getting hit markers for don't ever seem to show up on the cam.
4.Spawns- Its not just that they are terrible. Its that they are so damn predictable. I see teams or players all the time just running from one spawn point to the next racking up cheap kills. I've just been unlucky the past few nights in the spawn kill area, been taking some bad losses and negative games because I am spawning and getting shot from behind immediately.
5. The Community- I have some good friends that I enjoy playing with, though many have had it with this game and choose to play other games right now. As a result, combined with my unusual work schedule, I have been playing in rooms with a lot of randoms. I have met some nice, fun people, but I've also run into a lot of nasty, rude people who seem to make it their goal in life to treat everyone else like crap. When I play with a team, we have begun to go into party chat, even when we don't have a full squad. We can't have an intelligent, fun conversation in game chat without someone making stupid, crude remarks. I think the other half involves tactics, noticed an increase in corner and spawn camping and it just seems at times that the quality of compeition has degraded steadily. I know this will never change, it just makes one lose hope for humanity at times.
