So finally sat down and played a nice chunk of MP.
My thoughts.
The actually multiplayer is a LOT better. Less camping overall since killstreaks dont stack.
Guns feel meh but they do the job. No real complaints here BUT
Sniping is meh at best. Hit detection is wonky and the maps favor close quarter battles more. With a mappack and patch they could be good.
The maps are fresh and they all feel different and require different tactics. I havent found a gun that is excellent on every map like in MW2.
All my main setups are Ghost Warlord Ninja. The other perks are alright but most dont stand up to those. Glad stopping power is out though.
Overall better than MW2 in somethings and worse in others.
The more I play multi-player the more I feel Treyarch really tried to balance the game and make the playing field equal. At first I was annoyed that I couldn’t select lightweight and marathon together, but it makes a lot of sense. Lightweight and Marathon (with commando) in MW2 really got to me. Feels good to not have a people running around the map knifing. It definitely requires a whole new type of strategy.
The Galil is a beat of a gun if you know how to control its recoil. Not sure if anyone has experienced it yet, but I’ve already seen two people getting out of the map on Jungle. I hope this doesn’t become a problem like it did with WAW.

I do extremely well with these classes and I just wanted to share the love. Happy hunting.
I like it, I just don’t like the respawn. In Team Death match the enemy spawns behind you a lot. In CTF, in some maps they spawn too close to their flag and get you as soon as you clear them out.
All shotguns are pretty assy, though they can trick you if you get host. I’ve gone nuts with the SPAS in one game only to have it rape me in return the next. Always gotta have the fall-back class when you start dipping to a 1.00 kd or worse.
Don’t need Ninja right now, footsteps make almost no noise, it’s reloads and grenade pulls that are being heard right now (they’re planning on patching footsteps later though).
I roll with Hacker on almost all my classes (have a Tactical Mask Pro class for dicking around when I’m bored). Claymores are annoying as hell since there’s no chance to get away after stepping into one, and seeing all equipment is gdlk.
Aite so I’m hoping to buy this game next month, but from reading what people have said in the thread I wanna ask if run n’ gun is still a viable playstyle? I got bored of using ARs in MW2 and mostly used my Akimbo P90s class running around like a madman. Also I heard sniping isn’t effective as before but has anyone laid their hands on the AWP yet? I’d like to know how the gun feels, thanks.
Running and Gunning is def still a viable option. Some people do camp, but it’s not nearly as big of a problem as some people make it out to be. Snipers are pretty … bad, but still satisfying to use. It’s tougher, but possible.
I’m still horribly disappointed that Shotguns suck in this game…what is the point of making them primaries again if they go back to the shit range of the CoD4 shotguns?
I watched one of reth’s videos in file share where he only used the stakeout and definitely makes it look good… id say the best shotgun IMO is the stakeout. I havnt really tried using shotguns but whenever i picked one up i never lost a close range gun fight.i guess its how you use them and how you navigate the map with it. Also fuck ak74… MPL with heart purple dot FTW
Ggs tonight…man the ONE vid I want to get and make into a clip I cannot access. :mad: on Summit I destroy the entire team (5-6kills) in a matter of seconds! I will try to snag that footage again later but dammit if I am mad that I cannot get it now.
think that was the same game where i got a quad kill couldnt find it in recent games.we should make a srk youtube channel and just upload all the clips there.
