Game is okay. Better than MW2 but not as good as CoD4 or CoDUO.

The following is all based on my opinion and experience from playing Call of Duty since the first game.

The Bad:
Knifes still have too much lunge
Chopper Gunner is still OP- either remove it or make it a 11 KS too
Dogs are still OP- Needs to be like a 15KS or removed, was OP in WaW also
Napalm Stirke needs to be tweaked so it doesn't go through buildings or set you on fire if you're no where near it. Had a few cases where I was on safe spots and was suddenly on fire.
Spawn System is more broken now, the CoD4 algorithm for it was fine.
The "quickscope" nerf sucks because it makes sniping pointless and was never needed on PC where there is no aim assist.

The Good:
Crossbow is fun
Ballistic Knife is fun
HackerPro and HardlinePro are fun to troll "srs bsns" players with
Noob Tube/Pro Pipe nerfed
No more weapon attachment grinding
CoDpoints are a cool feature, they should remove the level based unlocks though, no use for that really.
Like the fact you can customize Aimpoint Sights.
M14 rocks, took them long enough to put a nice one in the CoD games

The "needs a bit of work":
M60 might be too strong
Famas needs more recoil
AUG needs a slight damage buff
Shotguns need at most 10% more range
Pistols need a damage buff and better iron sights (the "upgraded irons" are useless and waste a slot)
Reflex sight should have a benefit to make it more worth while (RDS takes less space, Thermal has Thermal, ACOG has zoom, etc)

Yeah spawning is insane haha. I'm constantly getting spawn killed.

I'll be home today from 1:00-2:30 (EST) today, probably playing Black Ops. If anyone wants to join, lemme know.

Okay - I'm not saying this game is bad in any way - it isn't. But it would not have sold 1/3 as much as it did if wasn't part of the CoD franchise and the followup to Modern Warfare 2.

There. I said it.
