I'm actually thinking about canceling my pre-order for the following reasons.
Snipers got fu<ked
Most maps are small
Almost no sniper maps
Ghost is stupid. They should have just made it like uav jammer/camoflauge from cod4 and waw which was perfectly fine. No one ever b1tched about uav jammer.
Hardened edition is a rip off in my opinion. brb paying an extra $20 bucks for a horrible map known as nuketown 2025 which will be the exact same as the original sh1ttown but with different textures and nuketown zombies (which will probabally be fun, but I'm not going to waste $20 on 2 maps)
If I don't cancel my pre-order, chances are that I will buy the standard version of the game.
Call of Duty is now dead to me if this game does horrible and I will not, I repeat, will not be buying another Call of Duty game if this one is sh1t (that is even if I decide to buy this game).
Treyarch shouldn't be dictating how people should play.
Call of Duty: World at War was the best Call of Duty game in my opinion.
It had a great variety of maps such as Seelow and Downfall which were great for sniping. Castle was another great map.
There were medium maps such as upheavel which were great for medium/close quarter combat.
There were small maps such as Dome (Waw, not Modern Sh1tfare 3)
There were kind of huge maps such as round house, which was great for almost all playstyles.
The maps in black ops 2 seem to be limited to small maps only.
I blame [most of] the people that joined the Call of Duty community when Modern Warfare 2 came out.
Ever since Modern Warfare 2, the community has not been the same. Sure there were noobs before modern warfare2, but they were a different breed of noobs. The funny kind. Now, we just have people who complain because they got killed by someone due to their lack of awareness and the need for them to play the role of Pac-Man.
This is what is wrong with the current community (in my opinion):
People complain about campers and want to take the easy way out by complaining about them, rather then trying to figure out ways to overcome them.
People think that their playstyle is the only one that matters.
People troll by trapping players in corners and teamkilling.
Little kids who swear, scream, and call other people "tryhards" which is by far one of the most stupid gaming terms I have ever heard. The purpose is to win, of course I'm going to try.
Teenagers and adults who swear and scream
People that blast music throught their headsets
Trash talkers
Teenagers/kids who think that quickscoping is "cool" and if you don't do it, then you must suck. They cannot admit that it is all aim assist and luck. Quickscoping takes no skill. I did it in a private match with one of my friends and after a min. I was good at exploiting the aim assist, or as others would call it "quickscoping".
Players who quickscope and think they are "1337" and then end up losing games for the team because their final score was 4-30, especially game modes such as team death match
Split screeners or as I like to call them "Sh1tscreeners"
Players who use noobtubes for the sole purpose of p1ssing people off. In MW3 I was playing hc and the whole enemy team was using xm25's because they thought it was funny.
Players who call snipers campers when they don't realize that snipers aren't supposed to be running around.
