They got rid of Commando. Cool.

Did they get rid of "quick scoping?"

The gameplay and maps really don't seem to be good for snipers. I don't know what to think about this game.

my overall impressions so far... maps are fun, same as W@W, I think Treyarch makes better maps than IW...

but the gameplay is so-so for me, maybe I got to get used to the less frantic pace than MW2 and the sound is so muffled compared to MW2

The sound is very weird, even the headset sounds different talking to people. I really like the maps, but dan is right, if there are sniping spots they have arent very good. The spots I have seen have multiple ways to get to so claymores guarding you wont work, you have a limited view of the map due to all the building and stuff in your way.

Pros- So detailed with all the stuff we care about ( stats are so fucking awesome it aint even funny, its like holmey works for treyarch).
-Maps are pretty damn good
-The Money system is pretty damn neat
-I love the player customization and cant wait to unlock more.

Cons-Sound is weak
-The hit marker system is pretty unfriendly from what I could tell last night. Multiple times last night you could empty a clip in a guy and they wouldnt go down and it seemed a 1 shot burst and you were down.
-Guns are gonna take major getting use to- Lots of kick.


Give me a few more days but as of right now, I thought it was a solid game

It's sad to know Treyach spent 2 years on this game and came up with what they did. It's like Halo 3's customization meets KZ2 game play with WAW graphics. It's not a bad game, but with the time they had you would think they could have added a bit more polish.

Maybe because I only play 2 games a year, but I like it. Once the first rush calms down and the servers get rolling. I do like all the new stuff and the fact you are responsible to figure shit out as you progress. Once you level up the guns get way better, I think the maps are pretty good but I do feel they are too cluttered not many spots to get a good clean long shot. I got to dig into all the stat stuff a little more, the playercard stuff is fantastic. I love being able to look at where I shoot people at ( apparently I love crotch shots), Gun by gun break down, Perk breakdown, K/D Trends,etc......

Now for the suck- The fucking spawn system maybe the worst ever in terms of lets spawn you in spots where no cod game has spawned you before. Hey, the whole team is on oneside in team death match, lets give you a shot to kill them all by spawning right behind or beside them for no fucking reason. Same for domination for some reason. Numerous times on TDM we would spawn or have someone spawn beside us when we are doing work. I do feel the hit detection got better as the game went on last night which I think had to do more with getting better guns, I still see a lot of beating the guy to the punch yet he kills you.

Very fun to see some new folks playing and I hope the continue cause it is a very fun game ( except for Cnasty, you are the suck) ;)

Yeah, the spawning is fucking horrible. I can't tell you how many times i spawned last night and made it about 20 feet and got gunned down from behind. That is my biggest problem with the game. Other than that its pretty good.

so you can't pin down a team in one spot and spawn camp them? You may have to turn around at times and watch your backside? say it ain't so :)

Yeah cause earning the fact you have a team pinned down and flanked from all sides is so unfair while giving the guy Raiden like abilties to come up and under from the ground to kill a team behind is legit. :roll: I dont mind getting killed from behind if the guy earned his way back there but after I kill you and you spawn 2o feet behind me as I move over your dead corpse is horseshit

I had a blast jumping back in last night but the same things frustrate me but thats just me being terrible.

I get the jump on someone and I shoot him about 3 or 4 times and he shoots me once and Im dead. Pisses me off to no end. Sure I suck and probably missed but I emptied a whole clip, Im sure I hit him at least 3 or 4 times. :lol:

I also switched my button layout to where the R3 is not melee because I found myself melee when I get the jump on someone because I got to excited and then I get killed.

The guns really suck at the beginning so gotta fight through that.

I do see only playing when NDL guys are on though as it was nowhere near as fun last night when I got booted from the A-Team.
