OK, first of all, this is not a rant, this is my opinion on the game, to be exact, the multiplayer part of it.  I will be comparing it to MW2 since it is it's successor.  
 
Let's start with MW2. It featured great maps, weapons and perk sets. It also had the UMP which was\is the most overused and overpowered gun in the game, and the terrible perks called Commando, Danger Close, Last Stand and the Marathon\Lightweight combo.
 
All I hoped for, was to Treyarch to remove those things and give us some new maps. But they decided to take it further, to make it more “balanced”.

I’m not going to talk about my view on balancing things in multiplayer games, but I want to write down the little and big things that piss me off in this, so called, “best CoD ever”.

The maps.

They are claustrophobic and feel very unnatural. It’s obvious that Treyarch wanted to make the game less camper friendly, since making every room have lot’s of entry points and windows to shoot through. There’s only one thing they forgot. By removing obvious camp spots you are not removing the campers. You are giving them the advantage of having lots and lots of not-so-obvious camp spots. In MW2 I could enter every room with safety, because I knew where to look to spot a camper. In BO I tend not to enter\leave rooms because I just don’t know where to look.

The perks.

Commando – instead of removing it, they gave it to everyone. GREAT GUYS.

Danger Close – removed, with grenades nerfed and Flak Jacket, the explosives in the game feel like throwing snow balls.

Marathon\Lightweight – still going strong.

Last Stand – same as above.

Also, thanks for putting Marathon and Ninja in the same cathegory.

The guns.

UMP was bullshit. So yeah, Treyarch nerfed everything else, except for the SMGs. GREAT JOB GUYS. Also thanks for the autoaim feature that helps me to score headshot when I am clearly losing a gun fight. It’s super balanced.

Other issues.

The spawn system doesn’t work at all, spawning people on my back when I am busy fighting the rest of the team that spawned in front of me.

The audio is messed up, making my footsteps and guns sound like it’s WWII, while the footsteps and guns of guys 5 meters in front of me sound like a news station heard in the room next to mine.

Your thread title alone makes this flamebait.  Good luck.

Don't play it then.

I think it's just same old with worse maps, maybe a bit better balancing(except SMGs) and worse meta game. The spawn system was pretty messed up in MW2 as well. They fixed the connection issues with MW2's matchmaking though, which is good.  
 
I just don't get why they remove quickscoping when none of the maps work well with hardscopes. It's just more efficient to use an AR or SMG at all times. They could as well have removed snipers from the game completely. 

Obviously you are entitled to your own opinion, but I strongly disagree with everything you just said about Black Ops.

Totally agree.  Playing Nuketown and having somebody spawn practically three feet behind you is ridiculous.  Spawning needs to be fixed, it's killing my multiplayer experience.

Huh, really? I felt the maps in MW2 were pretty garbage.

now tell us something we don't know.

Yeah, the maps in MW2 were bad. And if you don't like then don't play it. Simple enough.

I hope that this is a joke. 
 
To which the only response is: 
 
  

It's good, but terrible compared to MW2.
 
And you can play games that don't include perks...

I'm kind of the opposite on this one. I liked both recent COD games, however Black Ops just seems more fun for me.

MW2 has better maps than BO? Really? Interesting.
 In all fairness, MW2 may have been better. But Wager Matches are really fun, it has split-screen online, knifing isn't as bad as you say (comparing it to Commando is downright heresy), and I'm guessing more people enjoy Nazi Zombies to Spec Ops, though that's just guessing from what I've heard from my peers.
 In my mind, comparing MW2 to BO:
 

• MW2 has better maps, like Skidrow, Highrise and Invasion
  
• MW2 has worse maps, like Wasteland, Rust, and the snowy one which I cannot remember
• BO has overall better gun balancing
• MW2 seems to have better online features regarding connection
• BO has split-screen online
• BO has Nazi Zombies
• MW2 has Spec Ops
• BO have Wager Matches
• BO have much better Killstreaks
• MW2 have marginally better spawn points (but both have awful spawn points)
• BO has much better customisation
• BO's grenade launchers and rocket launchers have been heavily nerfed (take that how you may, though I think it's fantastic)
• MW2 has Riot Shields (again, take that how you may, though I think it's fantastic)

" @ESREVER:  He wants to play the game where he knows the exact location of every enemy at all times without having random encounters.  Basically, he want's the enemy to line up somewhere so he doesn't have to worry about them killing him. "

@SethPhotopoulos:

 @Sitoxity:  Out-thinking me? WHAT? Lay down the cocaine dude. If camping is out-thinking somebody, wowowowowowo WE HAVE GENIUSES PLAYING VIDEO GAMES, I WONDER WHY THEY ARE NOT AT MIT.
 
My complaints are, that Black Ops is a noob friendly game, that does A LOT to help people that DO SUCK at the game to kill people that DO HAVE skills, people like myself.

i love the maps and the grenades feel much much much much much better now. I still get tons of kills with them but can actually avoid them when they land 10 feet away. and the knifing distance does need to be fixed. But its not EVEN CLOSE to as bad as fuckin commando was.

" @EndSarcasm: I don't think you got what he was saying at all.  He actually adapted to the camping to MW2 and got some enjoyment out of that game (I'm guessing on his enjoyment).  The problem is with people spawning right behind you and hitting prone to tap left trigger and right trigger to let the auto aim murder you, it's not something you can see coming...it's just randomness...  Although if he's complaining about that now, well he must have been in denial. He should have switched his online choice a while ago... "

I agree with almost everything you said, but you forgot to mention the overpowered Famas and AK74.

" I agree with almost everything you said, but you forgot to mention the overpowered Famas and AK74. "

i think black ops is good. the only problem is the spawning, like what everyone else said.

The only thing I agree with is how you said everyone has commando now.  the knifing in this game is ridiculous.  i would change the knifing distance/lunge, the respawn system, and do something about the hardline pro/care package/sam turret/regular turret nonsense.  other than that I am enjoying black ops a lot.  it's going to be hard choosing my game of the year between mass effect 2, red dead redemption, black ops and assassins creed brotherhood.

" @MrJiggerski: Well. I just hope you don't go buy CoD next year. Or everyone will be convinced you buy every CoD just to complain about it and every other game they will make is going to be the same. So yeah, don't buy it anymore. By the way, sell the game if you think is terrible. No point in having it if you don't like it right? "

I disagree. MW2 was total shit.

So how bout them Heat? Crappy eh? eh?

i agree, i loved the game at first but now all the flaws and exploits are showing, also im on ps3 and the game seems to be broken at the minute, cant hear frein ds in lobbies constantly getting kicked when your party joins a lobby, ive just started playing modern warfare again :P

I strongly disagree. The last 4 CoD's where so different from each other, it was kinda hard to folllow the changelog. And I'm not just complaining about it, I'm pointing out obvious flaws of the game Yes, I said it, flaws, because for me, games should not have anything that helps bad players get an advantage, bad players should get owned and never play the game again. Just like Counter Strike was in the good ol' days. Oh, and I'm not going to sell the game.I get emotionally attached to things. :D "

I'm still buying it today.

Sounds like whining...  Just because you don't enjoy the changes (or lack thereof) to the newest installment, doesn't make them "obvious flaws". The perks, maps, and weapons were all well thought out and properly devised whether balanced or not. Each set of weapons and perks have their own specific benefits and downfalls...  For such an opinionated and experienced player, taking out "bad players" shouldn't be an issue to you. No run is going to be flawless. You're going to get killed, by good players and bad- quit bitching. A lot of entrances to a room is not an "obvious flaw". Derp.  Sell the game. You're emotionally attached to your ego, not COD. "
