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.
