Once they nerfed the 1887's and removed the CP+ knife glitch there wasn't/isn't a great deal to complain about gameplay wise. Nothing that stopped us from playing it anyway (despite the tubes+DC combo that we all hate). Just a lot of lamers and cheaters.
And the complete lack of weapon balance is a "meh, never mind" to you? :xD:

(not that BO will be more balanced, probably :sly: )

I rarely find myself thinking during a game, "OMG that weapon is sooooooo OP", granted that the ACR is like a laser yadda yadda, but it's not unplayable. There are few players that are unbeatable, even if they are using weapons with zero recoil and out-sniping the snipers. I suffer more poor performances from bad hosts than I do imba weaponary.
Sorry mate, but when I find my performance goes up a hundred percent while using a particular CLASS of weapons alone despite being proficient with all weapons I think you can definitely speak with great certainty of "significant imbalance". If two players of exactly the same skill level meet, one with a sniper rifle and one with an assault rifle, and the sniper rifle loses out almost every single time, the imbalance is significant enough to say it's game-breaking.

Not using an assault rifle is an infinitely greater disadvantage than even major lag.

cba to make multiple quote paragraphs


Firstly we are talking about the spread on burst fire mode not semi automatic mode

Secondly I never even mentioned retardation like that. I actually wanted to explain it in detail but after seeing the amount of text I just decided to delete it all and make it simple. The real point of burst fire is for suppressive fire however with burst fire suppression fire you arent prone to wasting that much of ordinance and more importantly the inclusion of SAW systems in every platoon kinda made it also redundant.

Except most actual gamers are sheep who feel the need to always buy the last CoD game. As long as Activision throws a few flashy videos, they'll have millions of consumers no matter the price of the game...

The PC community might not. The consoles will bite immediately, especially since they already pay.

But CoD isnt as much of a second life as something like WoW. Make all the jokes you want but people dont depend on CoD the way they do with MMORPG's. Its about blasting away some random people for a few hours and then doing something else (Yes apart from the 13 year olds with nothing else to do or clan members yada yada yada, but they arent the entire userbase).

So Im predicting that while it will be successful and people will buy it as always, it wont take off as much as the other CoD's. EA will go right in there for sure and be all: "Battlefield and MoH have no subscription fee's guys!" and snap up customers who dont want to pay monthly.

This is true, but the PS3 is kind of a violent console platform if I understood correctly. It supports the kind of gamer who falls into a narcoleptic coma when they go without killing someone for forty-five seconds, if Yahtzee is to be believed :xD: .

It retails for $98AU here (for PC, it's $118 for consoles :P), or ~$100 USD (since the AU is stronger than it at the moment :xD:), €72 or £62.

None of you can whine about it being overpriced.


Direct2Drive have it for $59.95USD - if you use "Bigsavings" as a promo code you'll get a 25% discount |8 (though I just checked before - it now says "This product is available for purchase worldwide excluding Germany, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.") :xD:

That aside, you really shouldn't be paying RRP anyway, most places here will sell it for around ~$70-$80 anyway.

For the consoles 69,99€ so not too far away ^^
Console price here is $118AUD which is ~€85 (although honestly, who in their right mind would pay more to get it on console when the console version is an inferior game? :P).


I was actually able to find it for $79 AUD at JB Hi-Fi today, thought it was a pretty nice deal, and the price was for both console and for PC :xD:

For a second I thought you said it looked like World of Warcraft, which I found very confusing. :P
