    I heard quite a bit of chatter about how good the "Commando"(Car-15) is in this game...only to be completely disappointed in it once I got it. The thing is just too weak, especially when silenced and losing even more range on it. I suppose its decent in close quarters, but it gets pretty old having to completely lay into someone(especially when they are using Second Chance) to take them down.

    I still prefer the Galil & AK47 by a mile....which reminds me of Counterstrike, those were the 2 weapons I would live for.

    Does anyone else have major issues with lag when hosting the Launch map? Every time I end up quitting out due to a laggy game on that map, Im always the host. I also notice plenty of other players who aparrently were hosting Launch quitting, one time 3 hosts quit during Launch within about 5-10 minutes.

    LMAO, amazing how some people will join Domination & Objective based games and play them essentially like its Deathmatch. Camping the vicinity around flags/spawns completely ignoring the point of it all. I cant stand when they are on my team, this one dbag was actually bragging about his KDR in domination when he was on the losing team....with him having 0 captures(!) and then berating his team when getting to the lobby.

    To me, its extremely annoying to be the MVP on the losing team...apparently some people are just too self involved to remember its a team game. That guy really thought he was king **** for getting a bunch of kills with a Chopper Gunner on Jungle.

    Can't stand those people. Luckily we don't get those types in S&D.

    couldn't play online at all last night between 9 and 10 pm pacific time. Was wondering if it was just me? The map would begin to load and then youd see the thing waiting for more players to join. Did that 10 times in a row and I finally gave up and played with myself :shifty:

    Got it the other day and really love it. This is what Modern Warfare 2 should have been. Seems nicely balanced, and the best part is NO HARRIER!

    You'll get tired of it soon. As MW2 was too much camping, BO is too much run and gun, and crazy knife lunge people to death. There is no middle ground between the 2, which would make it a great game otherwise.

    What's the problem with the Harrier? It was pretty easy to keep from dying by that thing. You want a pain in the ***? Let me introduce you to the RC-XD, which only flak jacket pro can withstand, unless you get touched by it.

    RCXD is only a pain in the *** when too many people are using it. It does suck when they come around a corner at you, but often times its not too difficult to take them out on their way to you. Im a little confused why people even bother using it as a killstreak(except for maybe certain game modes)...the Spy Plane is so much more useful its ridiculous.

    As for the whole MW2 vs BO debate, I cant for the life of me see any reason to prefer MW2 over BO. There were so many ways for that game to ruin your day with the likes of Quick Scopers, Lightweight Commando Knifers, danger close noob tubers with infinite ammo, and the massive rape coming from the 480 killstreak rewards going off simultaneously. Not to even mention some attrocious level design(Highrise spawn rape anyone?).

    The one issue I have thus far with BO, that really gets on my nerves...is the weird lag I seem to get every time I am forced to host a match. Usually you would assume that the host doesnt get lag, but its the FPS that plummets every time Im hosting, some maps worse than others. I basically quit out every time i realize Im hosting a match because its just unbearable.

    Kudos for the lack of game-breaking glitches that were prevalent in MW2 as well. How long did it take Infinity Ward to patch the Javelin glitch & the infinite care package? What a joke that was...

    Disagree about BO being too much run and gun. This game is full of ***** campers.

    MW2 > B.O. MW2 had better hit detection, better connection (If you're not Host or have a 3 bar connection, you're ****ed), better killstreaks, better guns (people ***** about the UMP45, but the AK74u and Famas are broken as hell), better graphics, better maps, better spawning, etc...

    This isn't to say B.O. sucks. It's an OK game, but it's not that great. I'm glad that treyarch (SP?) is responding to the community. If IW had done the same, MW2 would be godly. To be honest, I wish I had MW2 still. I'd really love to play with an AC130 again.

    Yea MW2 was a disaster and it really isn't even close how much better BO is. Not sure what BO you're playing Clark Kent, because this game isn't full of campers at all, at least not in S&D, which is all I play. Rarely do you find snipers, unlike MW2 which featured at least 5 people camping with barrets, 2 with Interventions each match. And let's not even get into the akimbo models and commando tact knifers. Oh and who can forget all the game breaking glitches. Oh, and let's not forget the laughable spawns that allowed spawn sniping and spawn noob tubing on just about every single map in S&D. Speaking of noob tubing, sure don't see that nearly as often on BO as MW2. COD still isn't remotely close to the BF series, but BO is miles ahead of MW2.

    it is pretty bad, reminds me of my Socom 2 and 3 days. At least in that game you could limit the use by making your own room with your choice of maps and weapons. I wish COD would allow that.

    What nobody is offering as advice for people who hate some things in BO is that there is a different game mode for people who complain about stuff. It's called Barebones, where there are no killstreaks nor perks allowed in the gametype. This would solve most of your cheese issues, except for hit detection lag.

    I can't remember the game mode that I tend to play but there's no attachments or maps until you get spy plane - I'm not great at the game but with no map and no attachments it evens things out a little.

    It takes a little skill in BO, hence the very few people who run around with them. MW2 on the other hand was a whole different story with Danger Close and One Man Army.

    Well, I enjoyed the campaign (thought it was kind of short) even though it was over the top. However, online I am finding that there appears to be a delay no matter what with bullets registering as damage. Also, the M16 seems to suck big time online.

    The campaigns in all Call of Duties game, except for maybe the first one when it first came out on Xbox360 just bore the hell out of me. Too many limitations, little to no control. For example, the motorcycle stage was a joke. Just fire the shotgun and anything in front of you dies. Too many cut scenes or interruptions even during the gameplay. Very little options or choices for how to complete boards. It's just boring. Aimed at ADD gamers who are enthralled by graphics and cut scenes.

    But the game completely makes up for it with the online zombie play. I haven't even played anything else with it online. That Zombie game is just too much fun. Can't believe I'm not sick of it yet, but I'm not sure if I ever will be. (I know, my ADD comment was hypocritical) I hope they do a spin off series callled Call of the Dead or something. Screw Call of Duty. Zombies is where it's at.

    Well then you're stupid. J/K. To each his own. I know it's repetitive and all, but I love the strategy involved and mowing downs hordes of zombies with a few buddies on a tuesday night is a pretty good time IMHO.

    I'd rather play multiplayer with a few buddies instead, personally.

    I played zombies once and haven't played it again... it's just not for me, I guess.

    I'm assuming this means double experience points? That would really help me out. Will I get extra money too? I just started playing multiplayer after going nuts with the zombies for the first month or so. So many guns to buy but so little cash. I pretty much suck, but I'm getting better. At least I'm not always dead last at the end of the round anymore.
