FORUMS_

one thing i would like to add to the list is blood thirsty medals. I'm going for the diamond camo and i only need 1 more gun. now i got atleast 5 bloodthirsties when i need to do the 100 headshots. I think the blood thirsys should count for later whenn you get them because they are kind hard to get

1. The lack of any sort of team balancing once the game starts.

2. Friends' games being listed as "Joinable" when the server is full. An option to wait for an open slot or simply list it as being full would be nice...

3. The constant switching of servers midgame. I can understand it every once in awhile, but it happens probably 1/3 games. Are the servers just underpowered, or are there too many of them using the same outbound connection?

Executioner: I've never even unlocked this weapon, so I can't comment on it.

Vector: This is a great weapon as is.  It took a couple games to get used to it, but once I did it became one of my favorites; the recoil is manageable, and either way it's best used in CQC and very short-range gunfights.

Extended Clip: Aside from changing the name (ugh), I don't really have a problem with it as is.  I rarely use EC on any weapon, and very rarely die because I ran out of ammo & couldn't reload quickly enough.

Fast Mags: I do use this pretty regularly, particularly on SMG classes, and think it's also great as is.  On the Vector in particular it's very useful.  Honestly, LMGs are the only weapons which give me problems when it comes to reload time, but with them the magazine/belt size is so large that you should be able to plan your reloads to occur when you have good cover & aren't likely to be flanked.

SCAR-H: Is already my favorite AR.  The recoil is very manageable, you just have to understand that it's not the kind of weapon you want to be holding down the trigger on.  Recoil is almost completely straight upwards, and the recentering time is fast enough when you burst fire.

M-27: I don't have very many games with this weapon yet, but from what little I have used it the gun seems pretty solid.  Low damage, yes, but extremely accurate and you can spam the trigger pretty liberally when need be.  I'll reserve judgment until I get around to using it more often (once I've completed mastery on a couple other ARs).

As far as Nuketown 2025, I'm generally okay with the solution they used after everyone got so upset when it was initially pulled from public play entirely.  That said, I actually prefer many of the new maps over Nuketown (and it was one of my favorites in BO1); what made the map so appealing in the first Black Ops was the small size relative to other maps, which translated into much higher scores for most players.  In BO2 you have other small maps (and ones which play small) such as Hijacked, Raid, Yemen, etc., and they actually tend to pile up points just as quickly as Nuketown ever did; Hijacked probably more quickly.

All of that said, some (other) things which irritate me:

• Care package theft/trolling.  They increased the amount of time it takes a Black Hat to "hack" a friendly care package, but I still see people in almost every lobby stealing friendly care packages whenever the person who called it in does anything other than sprint to it the instant it lands.  Increase the amount of time needed to cap a teammates CP at the least, or better yet make it so that no teammate can capture or re-roll a "friendly" CP unless the person who called it in okays it by tapping square.
• Provide some sort of cover within the capture radius of the B flag on Express.  Even something as simple as a footlocker, like on Nuketown, would work and would fit in with the map's theme.
• Either RPGs need a damage nerf against scorestreaks, or they need to make it much more difficult to score a direct hit with one against a VTOL.
• Get rid of most of the unneeded character chatter during the game, or at least provide a separate control which allows players to mute it.  I would much rather hear about the enemy being on B or an incoming hostile Lightning Strike than hear "You wanna get paid?" for the billionth time.
• SMGs should not have a "long barrel" attachment!  LMGs should not have a suppressor available!

I think that's it for now.

Double capacity to Tac45 and Kap40 for ex mag, way to OP. Both those pistols are beast. Tac45 has a great 2 shot drop range and Kap40 is as close to an SMG as a pistol can get (in some cases it can kill faster than SMG). The only thing to balance these are the limited rounds. Pistols are designed as side arms, as back-up to the primary. Now, I know this game is different from previous COD and pistols are a viable option as primaries for some players. Lets leave pistols alone and be thankful they finally have killing potential.

One other note. I do agree with the M27 increase fire rate. Its probably the slowest killing potential of all the primary firearms in the game. If I dont flank my opponent or catch them before they fire on me I have a hard time winning gunfights with it. The one exception is in hardcore. But I have stopped using this weapon in core based matches, but that's just me. I'm sure some players may find it good enough in it's current condition.
