Ghost Perk in upcoming CoD

EDIT***below is my original post about the problems with Ghost in BO2. I made a comment about the new upcoming CoD so the moderator tried to screw me by moving the thread to "off topic." Since I can't do anything about it, I've just changed the name of the thread and will have to make it known that I am now talking about the future possible mechanics of the Ghost Perk in the new game. Tired of reading opinions on the "great" change to Ghost, written by people that don't even use the perk. These people have no valid opinion. They're just happy that people can't stay invisible while camping and they don't care how overdone the nerf on the perk actually is. In previous CoDs, people using ghost, while crouching in the corner of a room was a serious annoyance, but they have effectively made the perk useless. I myself agree that Ghost should force you to have to be more of a run and gun type of player, but the 1-2 second buffer that it gives you to continue moving after stopping is just not enough time. As it stands right now, Ghost will stop working in less time than it takes to stop moving and reload a weapon. Ghost will also stop working in less time than it takes to climb a ladder. Moving while aiming down the sights also causes you to move slow enough that Ghost will stop working. This means that you can only aim down your sights for 1 (literally 1) second before you become visable on radar. Once you stop moving, the perk will not recognize that you have started moving again until you've already covered the distance of about 10 feet. This means that if you stop for only one second, and then move again, Ghost will have stopped working for a split second before it realized that you started moving again. Not only does Ghost force you to be a run and gun player, but it forces you to be down right reckless. You can't take your time making sure the coast is clear before turnning a corner because the perk will stop working in 1-2 seconds. I can not emphasize enough to the people that don't use this perk, it doesn't just stop working if you stand still, it stops working if you aren't moving fast enough. The word "Caution" can not exist in your mind if you want this perk to work. Read my above points and try to make a rational defense of the way Ghost works now....You can't.
