Gun balance is so poor. Shotguns are useless and SMG's overpowered, only role I can see for Shotguns is as a Secondary whilst using Overkill.

I think the gun balance for the most part is fine. Shotguns do what they are designed to do, decimate at short range, and you can't really say submachine guns are overpowered, but it's more that most maps are so small or maze-like that SMGs are the best choice. I actually think the assault rifles don't get as much use as they should because there aren't a lot of longer site lines and the game modes encourage you to engage in close quarters.

P.S. M8A1 with fire selector is a monster.
 
I wonder if it's possible to make an '82-86 Toyota Supra badge as your emblem.

But I prestiged last night. I like how your weapon levels stay and you get a permanent unlock token for doing so.

I spend a lot of time on with the Emblem editor and now with 32 layers you can make almost anything.

You're right in terms of sight lines which is probably why SMGs feel OP, which is disappointing, Turbine seems to be one of the few with decent ones, the mix of map styles just doesn't feel quite right.

Thing is with shotties, I just don't feel their range is enough, I know it's supposed to be sod all anyway and you have long barrel (yay, for this continued weapon levelling stupidity!) but I swear at 20m they become useless and the amount of fights I lose in a room against an SMG? Dunno, maybe it's because I play Hardcore only and the lag is generally not great, but in a room a shottie should be beating an SMG more times than it loses, surely?
 
Rented and beat the campaign over the weekend and played a little of the multiplayer. I am rank 10. Tried zombies but for some reason it would never load me with anyone. Not sure why that wasnt working.

Anyone get a chance to play this in 3d? I have a 3d tv but dont have the glasses anymore.
 
Weapons... (for hardcore except the top point)

Shotguns seem to rule normal mode (at least in the domination games I played anyway)

The M8 seems to be the 'M16' of this game (overpowered and godly)

The SCAR is nice and heavy hitting but lacks in accuracy with sustained fire.

The M27 is the opposite of the SCAR and has high accuracy but low stopping power.

Pistols are far too good, especially the B23R and the KAP40.

The MP7 and Vector appear to be over the top too (I seem to get killed by them much more often than other weapons which leads me to believe they are the spray weapon of choice)

All the LMG's are great fun, the LSAT or the MK48 are probably the best but the HAMR's unique changing fire rate makes it an interesting weapon to use and can be very good.

Favourite weapon: SCAR + Quickdraw + Foregrip.

I'm liking the Chicom, need to venture outside of my Type25 in AR's and agreed on the LMGs.

Yeah, the Chicom is actually really good. It's a cool SMG and with Double Tap on Zombies, it's actually a pretty good weapon there too. From what I can remember, it's the first Burst-Fire SMG.

Yep, its the same as the first blops was, the 3d isnt very accurate, i'd put assassins creed as the game which sets the standard for 3d. Black ops was bad, this is a little better, but as for playing it for any period of time, you just get a headache! Dont buy it and glasses for the 3d, there are other games which do it way better!
 
No problem. 👍 If I don't join don't get mad or anything, it's not that I don't wanna join but I usually don't join mid match or when I'm with friends.

Alright, and same my dad plays too and he uses my account. Alright man, I look forward to playing with you sometime. Also, I noticed you've played some Zombies, I'm pretty good at Zombies... On CoD Black Ops 1 I did 72 rounds on Kino Der Toten Solo, and so far on Black ops 2 I did 21 rounds on Farm Solo, and 13 on Town.

We should play TranZit sometime, I really enjoy Zombies. Thanks for the add, and also do you have a PS Vita? I always ask people if they have one because it has Party Chat and I have a few games on it too.

Thanks. I had the glasses when I first bought my 3d tv back in January but for the price of $150.00 I could not justify keeping the glasses. I have a Sony Bravia and it requres the expensive 3d glasses. Wish I could find them for about $100.00.

The COD multiplayer just isnt for me. I prefer the Halo multiplayer or BF3 multiplayer. The last COD I truly enjoyed was WAW with the 4 player co-op, death cards, and much more. I miss those days. When this rental is up I dont see myself playing the game ever again.
 
Not sure if everyone knew this so here it goes:

The new "EliT3" in this game is the season pass, it is just like "EliT3" for the Map Packs, but as far as I know the 'EliT3" features are all free. That means there's no such thing as "Premium" Member, which was in MW3. There is also no such thing as founder, so that means everyone will be able to take place in Elite Competitions, Clan Ops, and other great features you would normally have to pay for.

Treyarch know's what's up and a lot of my friends are very happy, anyway guys it's pretty cool that "EliT3" is completely FREE this time around!

Ok, finally got onto a computer to post my emblem.

Yeah man, it looks sick. If you have some friends you should see if they wouldn't mind sending me a FR. I would really like to get a good group of friends to have a competition of score with.
 
I now have played the game enough to come to a conclusion.

The singleplayer is nothing. It just plain sucks. And the challenges are just silly.

The multiplayer maps are too much of the same. Why can't we get a mix of maps like it was in Waw??

I do like the perk system and kill streak rewards.

Zombies looked good fun, but that was short lived, such a huge map, and so little things are being put to use.

Overall it is on the same level as MW3 and that isn't good.
 
Guys! Important news! I just checked the in-game store, and Nuketown Zombies is currently free! This may be a mistake by Treyarch, so get it while you still can!
 
You know that Treyarch will probably do something about those who got Nuketown Zombies for free, right?
 
You get it for free if you have the season pass. Unless you didn't buy the season pass, in which case I'm gonna go download it...
