Played this online properly tonight, albeit it being on the dirty console.

Love the wager matches although I only got to play the one bullet in the pistol thing, loved that so much!

It does all seem very laggy (with regard to knifing, bullets and hit boxes) although with it being only the second week it's been out i'm sure there will be patches to sort this out in the near future.

Red dot sights are fairly pointless I've found, as all of the iron sights I've come across are easy enough to aim with.

Gah, have you ever played gun game? The Spas (3rd gun you get, a shotgun) has the worst sights imaginable. They obscure basically the bottom half of the screen - if your target is moving you basically have to guess where he's moved to.

I'm not a shotgun user so I suppose that's fair enough. Although every killcam I've seen with the spas was fired from the hip negating the use of the sights completely.

The update was also to patch the matchmaking, as anyone who's tried getting parties to play together might have found it can be a pain in the arse. I hear they have also changed the match voting and nerfed ak-47u slightly...

My matchmaking's still balls, random kicking from the lobby and some of my mates can't even host a lobby. Gr.

Thought I'd cast my opinion in on this as a sponsored gamer (which I have been on CoD4, MW2 and Fifa). Basically single player (which in fairness has nothing to do with the sponsorship) I thought was actually quite fun. The levels are varied and although the first few levels took a while to get me into the game, I really got into the story later on. I completed it on Veteran in roughly the same amount of time as MW2 which was about 5 and a half hours, which is shorter then CoD4 which took me FOREVER on Veteran.

But anyway, onto the important part, Multiplayer. First thing I noticed straight away was the sheer amount of bullets it takes to kill people. It seems to take an awful lot more which is good and bad. I noticed earlier in the thread someone said the sound overall was tinny and I agree. The guns all seem to lack punch and the most powerful thing on multiplay seems to be the C4 which is obscene. It does seem though (like every other CoD) that there is only a few guns that will be used in the competitive scene. The Ak-74u (which I was so glad to see is back) seems to be the only SMG that you need, Assault rifle wise the Ak-47 and the G11 (the classified assault rifle, unlocked by buying all other assault rifles) are pretty much all you need although I am quite enjoying using the AUG and even though its not as powerful as it was the M16 is ok. Attachments wise I dont understand why anything other then extended mags is ever used. I can appreciate sights on maybe the M16 but it takes so many bullets to kill people if you get caught in a 2 on 1 you will rarely have enough bullets to take both without reloading and therefore dying.

As for maps, there seems to be a couple of good ones. Firing Range, Summit, Jungle and Nuketown on certain gametypes.The spawns are pretty bad at the moment, which is more noticable on the smaller maps. I've had plenty of spawn problems (the 5m spawn radius is shocking) and it's something that needs to be sorted. There are still plenty of spawn traps, 2 of which I found within 2 hours of gameplay. And within 1 round of Summit I found 4 traps on the map alone which meant that my team would have absolutely raped if kids would just hold back but never mind. I really like the fact that on search and destroy, lethal grenades and noob tubes are duds for the first few seconds of the round. Stops the spawn tubing and nades which is great. I also like the fact that quick scoping has been nerfed. It was far too easy on MW2, im glad it actually takes alot of skill to get them right now.

Killstreaks wise I'm not really interested as they are banned in competitive games but the one where you basically become a running turret is absolutely hilarious and the 11 killstreak gunner is obscene. Rediculous firepower. I also HATE the RC-XD. Such an annoying killstreak.

Overall I'm really liking it, theres nothing really wrong with it, its just very different online and I think that is why people are against it at the moment. Everyone in the competitive scene has adopted it without dramas which is nice because that certainly wasn't the case on MW2

who u sponsored by? and what for like gb or what?

Do you show up on the hud if you use the noob tube? it's not very loud but it does leave a trail, hmm..

Yeah you do, was actualy wondering the same thing about the crossbow? (which by the way, is the coooooolest secondary EVER, beats the ballistic knife which is also cool B) )

Aye i noticed this, but i do :P AUG is immense aswell :o

Havent used it that much, but i dont like how they changed the iron sights on it, i liked the sights on the AUG in MW2. Cool how it's an Assault Rifle too.
