Lucky you.
For the first time IN MY LIFE -- I have shut down the xbox in rage and just done some laundry instead of playing when I have time to play.
I shoot a prone enemy 8 times with my SMR, on 2 meters range.
He kills me.
I hip-fire 7 rounds 5 seconds later, and he kills me again.
I round a corner and fire 5 rounds directly into the chest of an enemy, and he kills me.
Searching for the best connections available.
In addition to three bullshit spawn deaths and 3 assists from enemies I shot twice or thrice with a 50 damage weapon within the 50 damage range, those deaths from my KILLS were the final drops.
There is a MASSIVE -- BLOODY MASSIVE -- hit detection problem / hitbox desynch in the game.
I can go back to MW3 and utterly **** everyone with a pistol -- but using any semi-automatic in Black Ops 2 only results in deaths tonight.
The game doesn't want me to play it.
That's fine, because I don't want to play the game either when it acts like that.
I LOVE the custom class system, I LOVE the weapon design for SCAR-H, SMR and SVU -- but the balance issues and lag is really, really, REALLY getting to me right now:
I KNOW I could pick up ANY SMG and go 3 to 1 against those same opponents.
I could pick up an automatic assault rifle (bar SCAR-H) and go 2:1, abusing the lag by strafing.
But I want to play the game the way I want to play it.
I want to be able to use semi-automatic weapons, and just unlocked the SMR with my prestige token just because it's the most flavorful rifle in the game apart from SVU and SCAR-H.
I have practiced accuracy versus vetran bots for hours now on Carrier, and it's not my aim.

Better rant here than to create a new topic to vent.
Sorry about that.
