***Black Ops 2***

Well I've just done the first SP mission

What a boring piece of turd. Why does it have to look so bad? Graphics give games atmosphere these days

It does get better the first few missions are a bit rubbish. It picks up later on.

It's still no game of the year but I found it fun and the atmosphere and graphics in the later missions improve.

Apart from the stupid tactical missions which are junk.
 
It is a little annoying how the Vector K10 SMG + Lazer sight works far better than actually trying to aim.
I'm finding that rather annoying as well. I've really taken to using a shotgun though, so who am I to complain? ha!

Does this game have a server browser?
Nope, it's all matchmaking. I'll admit though, it works alright. Far better than any of the other CODs that had it. Mostly because of the dedi servers I think.
 
I definitely think this is the best CoD since CoD4. A lot of the annoyingly queer stuff has been removed and the killstreaks aren't blasting 24/7.

The only thing I think they need to do is nerf some of those SMGs, they're basically spray and pray but they kill so damn fast.
 
No matter how i try with keyboard and mouse on this game i'm better with an xbox controller, i have played BF3 for the last year with mouse and keyboard but this i find difficult, perhaps its all the keys you need not sure.
 
So, is this worth picking up for an old school CoD fanboi? I hate the silly perks like Last Stand, Martyrdom, Commando and I hate dual wield spray and prayers, and games like MW2 made tubing so easy.

I looked through the perks list for BO2 and was pretty shocked that they all seem to be quite sensible now.

Verdict for me?
 
Played 6h MP now and im having major getting shot round corner and BS kill cam deaths.

I cant find any MP.cfg file to edit to try and tweak the settings down for my connection.

It feels completely out of sync to me at the moment by a good 100ms.

No where near as good as Blops felt.

match making is throwing loads of 3 bar players into the games which only amplifys my issues further... Im not a happy bunny really SP is still "good" but MP is frustrating.

Sounds like an ISP issue.
The game has run incredibly smooth for me and everyone who I've asked.

I played CoD2/4 competitively and I'm enjoying BO2 much more than BO1 and MW3. A lot of the annoying things have been removed, I think akimbo has been removed (apart for with pistols). Yous till get sprayers with SMGs but I hope they'll fix that with a patch.
I'd grab it.
 
The game is running incredibly smooth but it feels like some kind of Compensation is being made for my latency. akin to MW3s effort.

I live in London if the servers are hosted theere im probably pinging <15ms

a 3 bar guy must be about 100ms.

Im wondering if they have added or doing something to put everyone on some kind of equal 150ms ground...

It just doesn't feel right at all for me :( im speshul

Ill blame VM too tho they are terrible.
 
They took out killstreaks :)

I myself have just taken the plunge and ordered this from work.

With next day delivery cost me damn well near enough what it is on steam!
