    Guns are balanced? Really? If you dont use a silenced smg you are at a disadvantage since they have unlimited range. A lot of the maps make it too difficult to move around which causes people to use snipers or camp down long hallways. Drone, Yemen, Aftermath are all campers havens. Shot boxes are totally inaccurate, allowing people to head glitch and be shot without receiving a head shot. The servers are awful, the lag compensation last I saw was .28 seconds which makes it frustrating to play. Bouncing bettys are annnoying, especially when you dont have to actually step on one to set it off. Even if you walk by one on a different level (for example, a BB on the ground by the statue in slums will be set off if you walk on the monument

    Despite all that, I enjoy the game, but I enjoyed MW3 if that tells you anything. The picture above is my score from the other day, so you can rule out that im b****ing because I suck.

    If you dont use silent smgs you are at a disadvantage since they have unlimited range? I dont quite get your point here. First off, not using a silencer will inherently put you at a disadvantage. Secondly, it takes 6 bullets to kill with any SMG at long distance. Compare that to previous CODs.

    Your complaints make it seem like you have never played COD before. Every map has camping spots. Doesnt matter if you are talking about MW2, BO, MW3, etc... There has never been a game that doesnt have camping spots. Head glitching? Thats been around since the first days of COD. Bouncing betty? It was the same thing in MW3. You realize you just have to crouch when you hear a bouncing betty go off and you avoid dying from it, right? Or, wear flak jacket. Lots of ways to counter anything in multiplayer...in other words, there is balance.

    Your only valid point is the lag compensation...but then again, it was the same crap in MW3. No different this time around.

    A SMG should not be able to shoot distances they do on the game with deadly effect. Period. I dont have a problem with BBs since I run engineer.

    Look the picture above is a game I played, like, 3 days ago. 71-11. I have no issues with playing the game. Its realistic things I have an issue with that I know have to be altered in a video game to make it playable. Do you know how hard it is to run and shoot a pistol at the same time? I do, ive done it. Ever trying brining a rifle with a sight on it to your eye quickly? Its not easy. The game has too many lines of sight. Go stand where B flag would be on Yemen and youll see about 8 different places on the map that can easily hit you.

    The game itself is fine, I enjoy it, I play it, I have prestiged several times. The new patches have made it significantly better, but the game still has issues. You like the game, I get it. I do too, but it has issues.

    I know quite a few people that never even got to 1 prestige and totally quit the game. I personally played this game way less than any other COD. If you dont have an smg you will lose the gun fight no question asked, this game is all about cqc. I was so use to playing with assault rifles(scar, galil, acr) and having to switch to smg sucks and is aggravating.

    I had a horrible experience with zombies also it is straight up trash.

    F*&^ what woodysgamertag says he is garbage and every other youtube commentator they get paid to say it's a bad ass game, why would the stop making videos even if its a trash game??

    I use heavy machine guns. Used them on mw3 too. Stock negates dudes running around with silent smgs for the most part as long as you catch them but there have been times where I have been killed from across the map by a silenced mp7.

    Wanna spawn trap? Here yo go.

    1. MELTDOWN - inside one of of the two main buildings, they will sit on the counter downstairs and watch the far spawn through the door.

    2. CARGO - The outdoor stair entrance to the main building there is a small balcony that overlooks a corner spawn.

    3. STANDOFF - Near the red tractor, if you stand far enough away, you can watch people pop up in the far corner where the 2 boxes are.

    4. CARRIER - The downstairs area where the black jet is parked. The enemy will sit near the stairs and watch people appear at the entrance to the main indoor area.

    5. PLAZA - On either side of the map, right at the edges there are hidden paths that you can fall off... hard to describe but if you sit on that path you can look very far towards the small houses at the back of each side and watch people spawn.

    6. SLUMS - Possibly the most infamous spawn camp spot. At the back of the map they sit behind the car and watch the spawn behind the walls.

    7. YEMEN - From the market at the top, you can sometimes witness spawns behind the statue / monument thingy.

    8.Highjack both balconies looking towards each spwn

    Okay, thats a valid point...but name me one COD game where you cant kill at a distance from long range? If this was an issue strictly with BO2, then I would agree...but SMGs killing at long range has been in the game for as long as it has existed.

    Im currently sitting at 14,000 kills in BO2...I had over 21,000 in both MW3 and BO. Ive had enough experience with every single COD to know what has remained the same and what has changed.

    There has always been camping. There has always been head glitching. There has always been spawn trapping.

    However, there has never been balance and community support like you see in BO2. Black Ops was right there with it as far as balance and support is concerned.

    They absolutely do not get paid to say its a bad ass game. Theyve crapped on MW3...were they still not getting paid then? They get paid because people like their commentaries and they get a ton of views. Woody left a fortune 500 company to do nothing but play video games all day. The guys that dedicate their days to playing COD have more experience than anyone on here.

    Woody makes video of blowing up crayons in a microwave he is a complete douche he needs to leave this world kinda like FPS russias manager.

    I actually do watch some youtube channels for the gameplay not the actual fkn commentating like you do.

    And all of them have said Blops1>Blops2

    My point is not sure where you got that this is the best COD ever.

    You're pointing out a couple videos out of the hundreds he posts. Clever. In the end, he has 1.1 million subscribers and he's made close to 600k in the last 2.5 years. He must be doing something right other than blowing stuff up in microwaves.

    Wings of Redemption, ipwnstar4hire, blametruth (one of the first youtube commentators), ONLYUSEmeBlade, Ons1augh7, Hutch (one of the first youtube commentators), xJawz...theyve all put Black Ops 2 as one of the best CODs. Yes, its true that they all rank Black Ops high as well...but this notion that Black Ops 2 is widely considered as crap is false.

    ???

    I watch for the gameplay...but I can also listen when they talk. Not too difficult to multitask like that.

    The reason they jock this game so hard becasue they believe mw3 was not good so yes they are excited about this game after having to play mw for over a yr.

    Woody does make alot of money my point is he is not a good player and im not interested about his wife, daughter much less his kid an no disrespect. His fan base is mostly young kids like yourself and get alot of views because he has open lobbies playing infected in dome with 30 subs, he makes video of his day.

    When im bored at work ill watch Tmart for his tips, Ronsgamertag love his aggression, themarkofJ he is a beast and scumper jumper which is the best COD player....These guys make nowhere near woody but are superior to any of the guys you mentioned.

    Okay...soooo, you're basically making the point Ive been making. My point has been that this is a step up from MW3. Ive said it plenty of times that I put BO and BO2 near the top of the CODs. MW2 was incredibly fun, but one of the most damaged games as far as balance, hacking, support, etc... That game had plenty of potential but Infinity Ward dropped the ball on that. COD4 was revolutionary because of where first person shooters were at the time, but that game is outdated compared to what is getting produced today. MW3 was a step down from MW2 and Black Ops.

    That's why he calls himself the unexceptional gamer, because he isnt elite and he knows it. Yet, he still carries close to a 2 KD, so its not like he sucks...and his tips and advices and breaking news about the game, upcoming maps, patches, etc... are second to none on Youtube.

    And Im 33 years old.

    I watch all these guys you mentioned...however, you dont have to get consistent 100 plus kill games to be able to analyze a game's strengths and weaknesses. Like I mentioned, Blame Truth and Hutch are 2 of the big reasons COD commentary is so big on YouTube. Xjaws can put up just as much beastly game play as MarkofJ. There are players like midnightboss that I didnt mention, but his KD is 7.0...and he pulls 150 kill domination games on a daily basis...but since he's young and he doesnt have the COD experience others have had, I didnt mention that he loves BO2. His opinion, despite his gaming record, is worthless, imo.

    Eh I get breaking news from forums.

    Xjawz and Whiteboys w/l ratios are so so horrible its not even funny, I have seen from themarkofJ videos where he post his stats. You should look into it..

    I have had 100 kill games also and I have a pretty good w/l ratio simple because im playing w my clan if not ill play mecenary and usually do fairly well. I dont back out of games like they do lol

    Lots of ground war, TD, Dom.

    I play the objective, 373 spm and a k/d of 2 isnt great but im pretty decent.
