Maybe not large-scale in that regard, but you don't go into ONE city with ONE squad and pretty much don't make contact with any other squad. Call of Duty 4 was good in that part, but Medal of Honor was pretty bad. I basically felt like it was me vs. 1,000,000 Taliban. Where was my support? Game felt so desolate.
Black Ops Looks really good.. From the vision i have seen, it looks like there is one sniper that doesn't produce hitmarkers and is bolt action- to keep snipers happy I'm also glad shotguns are now primary weapons and the range of rifles and machines looks great.. i'm looking forward to it
I don't get the shotgun gripe. Shotguns were primary weapons in Call o Duty 4 and they sucked. No one would run around with them because it was almost impossible use and play well. I think shotguns as a secondary weapon was a PLUS in MW2.
Granted, this guy is a really great COD player, but still...he has a hundred videos where he rapes with the Spas. <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/psbAgsMD8QM?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/psbAgsMD8QM?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>
Also another way the balance issue has been addressed is with explosives...scavenger will not replenish claymores, grenades, etc... Therefore, although grenade launchers are still in black ops, they will not have nearly the impact they did in MW2.
The shotguns have never bothered me because they are well balanced. They have absolutely no range in the COD games, as long as you keep your distance, they are hardly ever a problem. I still play a lot of MW and almost never see people dominating the game with a shot gun. Sure there are a few from time to time but that happens with any weapon. I am one of the few riot shielders I know that can dominate a game in the right circumstance but that is also pretty rare, therefore I think the Riot Shield should be a secondary weapon as well.
this has been overblown as well. Grenade launchers are the problem as I see it, not scavenger. I rarely see noobtubers anymore with scavenger on. Grenade launchers need to be reduced to a single shot, have their explosive power reduced, and take the place of equipment as they did in cod 4.
You're right, because they have One Man Army on. A couple shots from grenade launcher is anything but a big deal.
I don't have a problem with scavenger replacing explosives, claymores, etc. At least they had to work to get ammo, by basically running around the map. One man army is the perk I had a problem with...
You must not play search and destroy, because spawn toobs are a huge problem. Half a team is dead as soon as the match begins and that is without any extra help, they just use plain noobtoobs
I played through an entire prestige with search and destroy...I maybe died 1 time with spawn toobing...the key is to run when you spawn. Besides, the search and destroy population is so small compared to the other game types, that making changes just for that game type would be silly.
