    Now i think Black Ops 2 is bad. Real bad.
    After just over a couple of weeks playing the game i went back to the magnificent Modern Warfare 2. It has no equal.

    Basically the reasons MW2 is far better then BO2 are are:
    1) Better hit detection.
    2) Better maps.
    3) Better guns and weapon choice.
    4) Sandy Ravage.
    5) Better killstreaks.
    6) Jason West and Vince Zampella. (Activision treated their 2 best guys like scum and look what happened. The CoD games have been garbage ever since)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFPhcVjvUr4

    Those are my irrefutable facts of why MW2 is a better game then BO2.

    The video explains far more then me writing 10 paragraphs ever could.

    I'm only running 0,1-0,3 seconds after everyone in MW2, compared to a full second in BO2 that is my reason.

    Damn man.
    That is such a noob mistake on my part. Thx for the spot.

    i'll watch the link when i get home but i couldn't agree more. the most outstanding point is the screwing over of west and zampella. i hear they want to make a space game (bleh) but i hope they turn out at least one more game like mw2. their new company is called respawn but i've heard nothing more of their plans.

    Reason MW2 is better than Black Ops 2 begin and end with netcode first and foremost, flanked by map design. The last netcode effort of the real, original IW (not the impostors who gave us MW3) was so good they could honestly re-release MW2 with the same box art, not even bothering to change the name, and I'd still buy it were it the new CoD.

    Other than that, Black Ops 2 trounces MW2 in every category.

    If only Activision hadn't forced IW to release MW2 in an almost unfinished state. (As for what happened to West and Zampella, I'm sure there's two sides to the story, but the main takeaway is that the people who lost out most was us, the consumer and CoD fans.)

    They're exact the first 2 reasons i give in my post. Netcode & maps.
    Yay for me.

    MW2 is terribad. Played it for the first time the other day, bought it cus I heard good things about it. Taking into account Im noob and dont know the ins and outs. Couple quick things

    - Soooo much camping compared to OPS2.
    - GL spammage was just..... sad
    - Theres an airstrike in the air way too much. This is a FPS not a flight simulator.
    - Graphics were average and out dated.
    - Shotguns as secondaries LOL
    - Maps were not impressive at all. Some were ok and a few good but overall, meh.
    - Pick 10 is way better than the old way.
    - Was just.... boring.
    - Heard about how great the connection was for this. Although it didnt have any "feeling behind" BS lag. The twitchy lag was very obvious and at timez it would teleport me 10 feet.

    Well ill respectfully disagree there. Yes there is camping in MW2 but no more then any other CoD game. Us runners and gunners will always figure out a way to beat a camper. Always!

    - GL spammage was just..... sad

    Totally agree on that one. I can understand One Man Amy and Noob tube/Danger close being highly annoying. especially to new players who are unaware of flanking routes and strategys. But too experienced players. Its no biggie.


    - Theres an airstrike in the air way too much. This is a FPS not a flight simulator.

    Hmmm, im 50/50 on this one. There isn't much air support to deal with in the games i play in because i normally figure out pretty quickly "who i need to worry about" on the other team and isolate the guy pretty quickly. There is always the stinger after all if harriers/choppergunners etc are destroying you. But hey, if i see an AC-130 in the air i just leave it be.

    - Graphics were average and out dated.

    Granted MW2 has a "musty" look to it compared to BO2 or MW3 but the graphics are exact the same in my opinion. BO2 and MW3 look a little more clearer and vivid but thats about it.

    - Shotguns as secondaries LOL

    Totally agree. The spas-12 is never a secondary. That is an awesome feature in my opinion.

    - Maps were not impressive at all. Some were ok and a few good but overall, meh.

    Totally disagree!! There is nowhere near the awfulness of Carrier, Turbine or that little boat one in MW2. The maps in MW2 are great. There is no "Terminal" or "HighRise" in BO2. There is no standout map that everyone loves. The maps aren't bad in BO2, they are just average at best.

    - Pick 10 is way better than the old way.

    Totally agree! The pick 10 system is brilliant. I love it.
    Shame 80% of players just use the same SMG class in most games.
    In every one of my classes in MW2 (my best classes) i honestly wouldn't change a thing.
    The balance of the weapons is far superior in MW2. If you give me the pick 10 class in MW2 it wouldn't change my playstyle one iota. Thats a testament to MW2's balance.

    - Was just.... boring.

    Totally disagree. Im still playing this game 3 years after release and stopped plaiyng BO2 2 weeks after release. I still find MW2 a helluva lot of fun. BO2 is just frustrating to me. But hey, different strokes for different folks.

    - Heard about how great the connection was for this. Although it didnt have any "feeling behind" BS lag. The twitchy lag was very obvious and at timez it would teleport me 10 feet.


    Disagree im afraid.
    The connection and hit detection in BO2 is a travesty. Its a disgrace to all that is holy. Its a disgrace to every gamer that has ever played an online shooter before 2009.

    Have you read this far down??

    I agree about the lag and hit detection on BOPS2. It is the only bad thing I can say about that game. So much bogus deaths and enemies absorbing bullets its pathetic. Hit detection is laughable at times. Kill cams never match up with what you experienced on your end. Half the bullets on the kill cam never even made contact yet register as a hit. LOL so much fail.

    I love the maps on BOPS2 except for the ones you mentioned. I think the maps are set up well to discourage campers. If you do die to a camper its easy pickens to get them back. And the amount of spots to camp per map is pretty limited with easy ways to counter them. Id take Turbine over that stupid MW2 map that is a field with a main underground bunker in the middle... that map was so bad.

    BOPS2 looks clearer like you said and more polished and better detail involved. I also like the fact in BOS2 you dont have crap ALL over the place to run into.

    so much camping compared to bland ops 2? there will never be a cod game without camposity. none are better than others.

    graphics average and outdated? compared to bland ops 2? is this a joke?

    shotguns don't have the range of other weapons. a quackscoper has the benefit of range at any distance.

    maps are simply excellent.

    pick 10 is all right but hardly revolutionary.

    the twitchy lag was implemented when mw3 & bland ops 2 came out...so this game wouldn't be better in terms of lag.

    You quoted a guy who camped level 50 for 4+ months on Goldeneye Reloaded. His original clan was called [AP]... as in Anti-Prestige, its where the AP came from in [BRAP]. He then talks bad on those who camped level 55 on 007 Legends when the game wasnt even out 2 months.

    Ya dig?
