IMO, BO2 is at least playable thanks to...

Posted by SanAndreasPsycho on Dec 1, 2012 10:06 PM

Basically, I got scammed in every COD since MW2 thanks to lag. This game still has lag, that is very obvious. You really can't make a game that doesn't have lag without dedicated servers. But once you accept that this game has little to do with skill, it can be playable for these reasons.

 

- Kill Confirmed + Point Streaks. (Rerolling carepackages with engineer)

- Stealing peoples mines with the Black Hat.

- Class customization.

- Maps that make a little more sense and are diverse enough to stay interesting.

- Random lag so that instead of constantly getting owned by laggers, some games I can now be on the other side of the coin.

- Weapon balance seems fair (but I think the Skorpion is the best weapon).

 

So overall, I am having more fun now than in the previous versions. Does it make the game great? No. It's slightly playable for the cheap thrill of grabbing tags and dropping carepackages and I can group up with my friends and family and have fun playing with them (until a better game comes out like GTA5).

 

There are many things that we can complain about (mainly the lag), but I am really impressed with the direction this game went in.

    IMO this is the most balanced and fair COD I've played. I haven't noticed any sort of overpowered/cheap gun. There is no dominating perk set up since every perk only gives a small boost. Maps are decent. Carrier is my personal favorite. Spawns need work.

      The spawns can be a real rager for sure. Is it bad to actually expect an enemy player to spawn right behind me? Lol If some of the lag issues can at least be stabilized, everything else can easily be dealt with.

      Carrier is my favorite map also. Reminds me of a map in Resistance 1 called the U.S.S. Lexington.

      The main problem for me is Ghost and UAV Spam is that veen if you ahve ghost,on, if the ememy has a UAV up and you spawn in, even with ghost you are visable as you have not moved yet.

       

      This means with teh small maps and some dodgy spawns you will have someone on you straight away. I hink for 3 seconds after Spawning you should not appear on UAV and no killstreaks should be able to kill you.

        Interesting.  I've never really given any thought to this, but I'll have to keep it in mind and pay attention now when the other team has a UAV up.

        Ghost does seem a little under powered, but I think they were just trying to stop camping. Maybe we'll see a buff for it, but who knows.

          Lets be honest, it hasn't stopped camping at all! Lol scavenger, bouncing betty's, shock charges. Now you know where the camper is with all the UAV's. That still won't stop camping. Some people just play more cautiously than others.

      You must be lagging BIG-TIME, to say that MW3 is more fun.

       

      I'm curious, if MW3 and BO2 both had zero lag, which would you feel was more fun for multiplayer?

        well i experience lag like everyone else, but  honestly  i found the class and play style that works best for me in the game, and I can say Im doing just about as well as i did in mw3

         

        the ARs in mw3 were way better then the ones in b02, and im an AR guy.. (mk14 was my go to) now I have the fal, and its no where as good as the mk14.. the smr has about the same damage as the mk14, but it has so much recoil and it shoots sooooo slowwww there sno point in using it

         

        the lmgs were better, shotties were more fun, and it was easyier to quick scope , not that I ever did it

         

        even though it was still noob friendly, you saw less camping because of how noob friendly it was.. you still dealt with crap but thats not going away anyway

         

        i never cared that much about the spaming of kill streaks since I always used blind eye pro anyway

    " (Rerolling carepackages with engineer)"

     

    This is a god send since you rarely get high scorestreaks in this game.

        Man, do you play on PS3?? Hijacked?? Domination?

         

        That was my first time seeing dogs and those things are ridiculously strong. They just "nip" you and your dead. Spawn kill heaven on Hijacked.

    The Scorpion evo is the best gun but its also the most high maintenance. You need:

    - Fore grip (due to the low accuracy)

    - Extended mag (due to the imenese fire rate)

    - Scavenger (as it eats through the bullets)

    - Dexerity (you'll be running A LOT, so using this will make sure your not caught off guard.

     

    ... Not to mention that's its the last gun unlocked.
