Black Ops 2 had pretty good gun balance. It wasn't perfect, AN-94, M8A1 and MSMC were god tier, but you could pick up basically any gun in the game (except the Executioner or that lovely full auto shotgun) and do well with it. I think BO2's high TTK had a lot to do with this.

Hey. Hey. Hey. gently caress you. All the shotguns were amazing and the executioner loving owned. Not my fault you didn't understand them.


:smug::hf::smug:

I loving love the Remington and the KSG (favorite CoD weapons ever, cross-mapping people with the KSG never got old), but the Saiga and that other full-auto shotgun just didn't do anything for me.

That's fine, honestly. You're basically only using a launcher if you're shooting down scorestreaks, so, you should be able to get the most out of giving up both a point for the launcher and the absence of any other secondary. And VSAT/EMP was basically a match-ender in Black Ops 2, because there was no way to counter it (besides hard-wired and :lol: who the gently caress used hard wired).

That said, I hope it has at least one set of flares.

And, obviously, Launchers should be the only counter. Ghost better not counter it, but it didn't in BO2, so I wouldn't expect it to.

The beta for BO3 has gotten me sorta wanting to play CoD again after I didn't really touch Advanced Warfare and I'm thinking about getting one on the cheap. What game is better/which one are goons playing until BO3 comes out, BO2 or AW?

Where Ghosts ultimately fell flat for me was being based around TDM instead of objectives. You couldn't have even had Hardpoint in Ghosts because you died way too fast. Black Ops 2 made throwing yourself at the objective fun and not a waste of time even if you were solo with randoms. It'll be nice to play another CoD that lets you do that.

In Ghosts Kill Confirmed, picking up a tag was worth less than getting a kill.

That is so backwards and sums up the screwy priorities in Ghosts perfectly.

Gravity Spikes seems aggressively, hilariously terrible.

I tried to use it four times and died all four times before it triggered. And the game decided to punish me by removing half of my meter for each of these. :lol:

A lot of the weapon supers, as cool as they seem, are way too situational and its too hard to know ahead of time when to use them.

As a result I've favored the ability supers instead, like running fast or having armor or seeing people through walls. (h4x)

Yeah I think I'm just gonna go fast with a shotgun for now. Using Gravity Spikes, especially in Kill Confirmed, just seems like guesswork more than anything.

Man, does anyone else have problems with lag in this game? I had to quit Advanced Warfare because the lobbies got too laggy, and it is even worse in this one. I am literally rubber-banding and people are warping around like the a Japanese horror movie ghost. It really sucks because I've really liked these last two CoDs a lot, but it is just unplayable for me. I don't know if it is on my end or there are less lobbies or they hosed something up with the netcode.

It's been pretty good to me, better than most CoDs. Sometimes I get people chop-monstering around, but it's pretty infrequent.

I only rubberband if my connection is absolute crap at the time, so I think it's on your end. :(

A good-ish way to do Gravity Spikes is Nuketown at the start of the second round of some round-based mode.

You'd be surprised how often people leave the backdoor open. Also run silenced so if you do gotta kill somebody, they don't see you coming.

I didn't notice any jumpy poo poo, so I'm assuming this one is boots on the ground despite it being the furthest game in the future yet.
