I’d say get BO3 if you mostly care about just straight up gun play. Things like quickscoping, knifing, or running around with noobtubes have been replaced with the specialists, and as Nick said the game is a little dry as a result. It’s still a little early to tell, but a combination of the slow level up speed and high level unlock of ghost this feels like a game where the UAV is going to get abused a lot (like MW3 levels of abuse) even if the launchers and black hat are really good.
Omg who ever mentioned the gorgon was not kidding… Fuck that shit. That needs some form of a nerf asap makes the games so stale and cpy and its become the meta withthe xr9 or what ever the burst rifle is
No grenade launcher
Reg nades have shit range
Stun nades dont so shit cause i still get kills/killed when stunned/stunning others
Launchers have shit splash only use them to shoot down UAVs ASAP
And now the enemy can literally SPRINT THROUGH TRIP MINES
Yeah, Treyarc really fucked explosives up. The single launcher that you can shoot at people might as well be a sniper, it’s radius is trash. Semtex are usable right now but as time progresses more and more people are just going to boost jump away. And that last point you made is probably the funniest thing, Hard Wired just lets you run through shit, not even a delayed explosion. I’ve been running Sixth Sense/Hard Wired/Engineer and I don’t think I’ll ever need anything different, maybe Dead Silence if I suspect people are sound whoring.
Weird because I think grenades are mad good in this game, better than any recent CoD I can remember.
Actually grenades are so good I don’t feel safe playing Obj modes without Flak Jacket, that Perk is a staple in most of my Classes. Battery has the Warmachine which is still godlike and it’s a nice alternative (means we don’t have to deal with cross-the-map Tubes and all the other explosive idiocy that was in MW2, but it is still somewhat there for people that wanna blow shit up). And while grenades are good, they aren’t fucked up like CoD4.
I like that the focus is on gunplay and movement though.
The only thing I’m bitching about is the spawn trappings going on in Nuketown. A few times I’ve been with a team of randoms that decide to all camp on the A or C and eventually the other team goes to spawn kill mode.
You could run through betty’s in BO2 and BO1, it’s all about placement and knowing where people are and are going to be. Trip Mine is the only lethal I use in this game because it’s the best one by far.
I feel like a lot of your complaints are blaming the game for your own faults.
Game is great, the movement is fun and fluid, every single gun in this game is good, Specialists and their weapons/abilities are fun and they’re all useful as long as you actually know how to use them correctly, a lot of customization options, zombies is badass like always. A good amount of unlockables as well.
My favorite COD since BO2.
Sweet fuck, Spectre is a beast in FFA.
I thought the Ripper was dumb but then I started using him and that thing kicks all sorts of ass. Commando with twice the range, and magical gravity defying tracking abilities(reddit). It charges up faster than every other specialist weapon and if you die it doesn’t fully reset.
I was team Reaper since beta but this dude is really changing my mind…
The lmgs in 3arc games are always good but thia one forces so much camping. Its aperant when you run into a full team using it. That shit has no recoil its insane its a 2hk at all ranges… Wtf, it makes games real annoying and boring.
All I know is that the game is leagues above AW. Almost feels like mw2…still a little too much craziness and too many flank routes to effectively hold down areas for extended periods of time.
