Call of Duty: Black Ops II

Oh, and you're supposed to get more points for objective games now, do people actually go for objectives, or still kill farm?

Are kill streaks just as bs'y?
 
Yep you get more points for captures and defends etc..but people still just kill farm. Thanks to the maps being more open where the flags are it's so easy to sit and get kills.

The kill streaks are actually decent and can be took out with anyone who wants to, you don't see many getting called in because of the lack of points people get and tbh it's hard to get a good kill streak because of how open it is, you're forever being shot from everywhere and the spawing is shocking at time. I was calling a care package in at my spawn and 5 of the other team spawing next to me and wiped me out.

Ugh, so the spawns are just as bad. MAN!

No doubt the big youtubers will proclaim this is the best COD ever, but I guess they wan't the views though. ;)
 
Are the killstreaks easy to get? Some people were saying they are pretty hard to get this time? Are they over powered? Notice any overpowered guns yet?
 
Yep they are quite hard to get as it's difficult to actually get on a good streak thanks to the map layout and being attacked from all sides.

I don't think that they're overpowered. Take a rocket launcher with you and you're fine. I can see nearly everyone just using UAV,Hunter Killer & Care Package.
 
So far the maps and lag comp is worse but the score streaks are better. I think i'll be selling this on and going back to MW3 unless they fix the lag comp.

Thanks for that.

Only time when I want to play COD now, I go back to MW2. Sure it's full of BS, but there's no lag compensation and its actually fun (because the maps are way better).

Take out one man army noob tubing & commando tac knifing then mw2 was up there with the best of cod but all cod games have had there faults you either put up with them or play something else which i have done more in the last two cod games and i havent put nowhere near as much time in the multiplayer as i did in cod4 - mw2 , will soon find out if it will be the same with this game aswell not long to go now .
 
thats strange tesco took my money when i made the order last month
did the same with halo 4 also
check you bank on the day you made the order
 
i thought tesco would have charged me for my pre order by now,still haven't taken my monies
Same here, my Tesco Entertainment pre-order hasn't had the money taken yet.

I have two copies coming, the other is from Tesco Direct, and they took the money immediately which was about a month ago.
 
Just played a couple of hours of this at the launch event.

Playing on LAN so I had zero issues with lag and hit detection obviously. Recoil was quite prominent on the SMGs I found which is promising, no more MP7 whoring.

Nades as Soulja said seem very powerful, best gun I found was the AR25 I think its called? Muddled around with the Pick 10 system and I think its great, so many options. I ran without a secondary most of the time, no tactical nades, gives more options for perks and you just pick up another primary weapon off the ground.

The whole UAV spamming thing to me is no different to Black Ops 1, if anything its harder to get them so you will see less of them. Ghost will now become a favorite for people like me who like to rush.

Maps...out of the few I played I quite enjoyed them, the one on the air craft carrier was a bit mental though. Played Nuketown a few times and got the dogs, oh dear is all I'm saying. The kill feed was as if I was in a gunship on Jungle! Very powerful if people manage to get them.

Knife lunge seems massively nerfed with the standard knife, ps knife camo is epic.

My overall thought is that playing solo objective based games is pretty much a deathwish now unless you're a complete monster. I also don't like the break in Domination games.

The sounds are pretty awesome but...its very hard to hear people as there's a lot of stuff going on, explosions are really loud.

Overall, for the time I played it I did really enjoy it, felt like Black Ops rather than a MW game and with a team I can see this being massive fun.

Roll on Monday night...
 
Sweet. My mate who we play with thinks it is really good. Said its a blend off all the good bits from mw2,3 and BO plus some other nice ideas
 
It's funny how Soulja says this isn't good but I haven't really had any problems. Apart from the 1 game played with him where I got raped. I'm no good at objective games!
I've just been playing TDM and KC. I've had a few games where i've struggled to get kills but for the most part it's been fine. I even got picked as host 1 game - no idea why as my connection is rubbish - and I didn't feel that I getting screwed.
I'm not making any solid judgements til the game is out properly. Can't really judge a game when they player base is low.
My favourite gun so far is the SWAT. It's a 3 round burst gun and kills in 1 burst most of the time.
My no.1 problem is the UAV's and me being the only person shooting them down!
 
No Hardcore Headquarters has scunnered me, I was actually kinda hoping they would have more hardcore gametypes this time around, not less. None of the rest are very good tbh, HQ was brilliant. Why not just make all gamemodes available in either softcore or hardcore?

Got the game today, paid £50 from a shop for an early sale, bet they make a tidy profit selling them early. I do like it, zombies is great.
