Regardless of the game you’re playing, there will always be things that you like and dislike about it. Although this is obviously true now for Modern Warfare 3, I feel that there are a few important tasks that the developers can do in order to minimize the community’s complaints in the future and make Black Ops 2 a well made game in every aspect. Amongst those tasks are creating well balanced maps, continuously updating guns if they are too weak or too powerful, and making sure that the spawn systems for all of the maps are fair. Also, I didn’t come up with these based solely on my opinion; all of the problems I list are the most common responses from numerous fans of Call of Duty.
The most common problem that people complain about is that specific guns are way too overpowered. I couldn’t agree with this statement more. I feel like every single person at one time or another has complained about one weapon in particular and that is the FMG9. I know that some of you are going to say that an update already came out to decrease the powerfulness of the weapon, but I am here to tell you that the update they had wasn’t enough. Almost every single person I play against uses the FMG9 akimbo and it can still kill a player from a great distance. Also, guns like the ACR and MP7 are on another level than the other weapons available. However, I will give a lot of credit to them for trying to balance this out by making some guns better (such as the FAD and UMP45) but I feel as if they didn’t do quite enough for other guns. If they continuously adjust weapons, then Black Ops 2 can be a very balanced game as far as the guns are concerned.
Another complaint that I hear is that there really aren’t any good maps in Modern Warfare 3. Even though there are maps I do enjoy (such as Hardhat and Dome), there really aren’t any that get me stoked whenever I see them. If you read two of my other other articles, you would know that I compiled lists of the top five best and worst Call of Duty maps. I know that some of you may have noticed that none of the Modern Warfare 3 maps were the on the best list, but two of them were on the worst list. This speaks volumes of how the community feels about the maps in the most recent Call of Duty game. If you look back at some other Call of Duties, all of them have a lot of maps (such as Crash, Terminal and Firing Range) that are beloved by the community. If they really focus on balancing each side of the maps like they did previously, then they will have no problem making fan favorite maps and keeping us happily playing Black Ops 2.
T
he final and perhaps biggest problem with Modern Warfare 3 is the spawn system for basically all of the maps. I’m not talking about when you play against a good team that just spawn traps you either because that can happen on any map. What I am talking about is when most of your team is on one side of the map and yet you spawn five feet in front of an enemy. Spawning away from my team has been surprisingly common and happens more than a few times every game. I know it’s impossible to make the spawning absolutely perfect but I feel as if spawning in Modern Warfare 3 is unusually bad compared to previous games. I believe that one of the best things that can be done is to take a similar spawn system from the older Call of Duty games and implement it into Black Ops 2. Clearly it can’t be exactly the same since there will be different maps but having something similar isn’t out of the question. It is completely possible for the developers to do this while still giving us a completely new and different game.
Now don’t get me wrong, I still love Modern Warfare 3 and there are a whole lot of awesome things incorporated in the game. I just thought it would be a good idea to talk about a few changes that can be made to possibly make Black Ops 2 one of the most enjoyable games to play. Something else people also have a problem with is the lag, but I will talk about that another time. What other changes do you think they should make?
it takes like 3 seconds 4 u to call out a killstreak nd dey need to fic da sentry gun placement system
yesterday on free for all i spawned right on a guy and its happened a lot BUT this spawn happened literally right after the game counted down TO START like wtf
Two things that annoy me is quick scoping. I see people trying to quick scope and when they get me they are running, I meant RUNNING with a sniper rifle and it just appears that no matter where they aim, they get a hit marker and down we go. I have even watched the kill cam and see the crosshair is about 3 ft AWAY from me and they get a hitmarker and I die, absolutely annoying. I would like to see a sniper REALLY Do that, get read.
Another thing is the melee…I mean seriously? I have been stabbed while the person wasn’t even in front of me; as in, the kill cam shows him swinging at air and then blood splatters. Then being meleed when they are like 7ft away from you, magically they jump forward and you are dead, absolutely ridiculous. I read once where you should only the melee option if you SELECT IT. How is it exactly that you melee someone instantly when you have AKIMBO ANYTHING!?!?!? Do the guns float, while you pull a knife out and stab and then put it away and re-grab the guns? WTH?
alot of that is connection,thats the real issue at hand,they need to find a way to equalize everyone,not have a few on so much faster speeds that it makes us think they are cheating,cause sure looks like it,but its not its them being faster,and thats not fair to anyone,i have after connection than many and i see what i can do b4 most even know what hits them,malso when ur the host now you are almost guarenteed a bad game,and i’m host alot i ghuess cause of how good my connection is,its not right..

Honestly, quickscoping takes MUCH less skill than you act like. Almost anybody can do it efficiently. I don’t think that it should be taken out (because there are people who have a ton of fun with it.) But in all honesty, quickscoping is not hard at all.
Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.
Quickscoping is easy. That’s so ignorant you go into lobbies private by yourself and practice 360′s on 10 like I had to do. I am not looking forward BOPS 2 for that reason PSN zNeRo_ExE show me how easy Qs is please.
Okay, so don’t fucking cry when you get a hitmarker 3 feet away and die instantly. Quickscoping is luck, even I could do it. If you’re going to run around with a sniper rifle, you might as well run around with a shotgun.
The only reason quick scoping is hated on is because of connections and lag in killcams. Killcams do not pick up 10 sensitivity very well do if you drag your sights onto someone very quickly it will not pick it up. Also when you zoom in to quick scope you are supposed to let your scope fully go in and then drag it on them and shoot, but a lot of the times the kill cam shows the scope as it zoomed in half way and therefore getting a “black scope.” thi is also because killcams have lag and don’t show the full animation, which is why people get so pissed. If they really think its stupid then they need to try it themselves, cause its hard to be a good quick scoper.

They also need to get rid of quick scope.
Oh one more thing. I DO LOVE the fact that they added a slot for “any other means” of getting a killstreak…aka steal a care package, or get two. One thing I don’t like is that killstreaks are not reset when you don’t use them, or they don’t stack up. Say for example I have killstreaks for Predator Missle, Care Package and Helicopter (Which I don’t LOL). If I earn a predator missile and die…it’s still there which is great, but if I kill enough people to earn ANOTHER one, it doesn’t me 2 to use, it basically stays as one…doesn’t make sense if you EARN 2.
Couldn’t agree with you more. Sometimes I don’t want to stop and call in a Reaper when I’m doing well. So when I do this, I end up getting to another Reaper but don’t get the benefits of both.
One idea I have is when you join a game. For instance, all of us had joined in the middle of a match and lost because your team is just losing by so much(or are a bunch of noobs -_-). So i wish they would add an option that would let you join a lobby and not in the middle of the match. Like you can chose to play the DLC in multiplayer or play the original maps
One thing that sincerely pisses me off about MW3 is the kill streak power. The ac-130 and reaper should be able to kill clumps of enemies when fired upon. I lather a group of enemies with missiles and only come out with 1 frag….if lucky, 2.
1. Fix quick scoping. If you don’t, then give them their own game type where you can only use sniper rifles (and patch it in all of the other game types).
2. Don’t waste your time on just the newer games, you still have people who paid good money and put plenty of time in previous games such as CoD4 Modern Warfare, which is currently rotting in the dirt.
That’s that. Thanks for your support and concern!
SOO Many Hitmarkers With Snipers pls fix this !
I honestly wish they would have sniper only game types I think that would be awesome game type to have
Add Combat Training to next MW Game !
I see alot of problems. One is guns, which include the prestiging. I would like to see that some guns are only unlocked after a certain prestige level! Give people a reason to prestige instead of just some tokens. I’m a level 20 on mw3, each time the new 5 prestiges came out i prestiged. Also why downgrade weapons? They need to have different levels of power and range for each gun.
i will agree on the maps, i do like dome, only damn problem is the catwalk you can see nearly everything on top of that. I like firing range, where you couldn’t see much in the eagles box, or any high position. I love the maps on Black ops 1 they were amazing.
Now i’m hearing that elite will be available for bo2, yet $100, and someone told me it won’t integrate with mw3. So i have to pay $50 for mw3 plus 100 for bo2 plus the 60 i dumped in for the games? That is ridiculous if it is true.
They truly need to get rid of quick scoping! I learned it just to get back at a quick scoper, i hate it i’d rather hard scope just like a real sniper would. Also for some reason ballistic vest! How come when the enemy team has them you need a full clip, yet when you wear them it still only takes two.
Do not get me wrong, I’m not a newb complaining about better players. I know there are better than me, i am a good player, with legitimate complaints of players who suck so much they need to cheat or mod! Get rid of it! Start IP banning these little kids with mods and hacks, as well as everyone else who thinks they are good players, yet without those mods and hacks they suck donkey *****
one thing i could really go with out is the snipers acuracy i mean im not asking that u make it impossible to snipe but only up close, but i do like the long range scoping.
i also think that there should be different lobbies for different prestige’s. i know im not the best cod player but it just annoys me to see a team only of 15 prestige vs. like 5-6 prestigers cause its like who do u thinks gona win.
That really doesn’t matter. Prestige levels only tell me how much time you’ve invested in the game. That’s makes zero sense to say, the other team in full of 20th prestigers. Let’s rage quit or deal with fact that were going to get our asses kicked. I was in a party on six people, we join a kill confirmed lobby and the other team was full on high prestiges. Guess what? We beat them. Not because we got lucky, we actually use stragies that the other team couldn’t simply beat.
well when i first started out playing mw3 and black ops i was a level one going on like 10 prestige and higher with both games, i like the style of cod world at war multiplayer becuse for the first couple levels u get to play with people who r reletivly close to the amount of experience as u and u can get used to it in black ops 2 i would like that to happen but extend it more to maybe prestige 0-2 or 3 because i just hate to see a whole mess of 15 prestie or higher possibly going against lower by almost 10 prestiges just get there butts whooped and really isnt a challenge for the higher ranked people. y because its happened to me to many times in the past and im just sick of having it impossible to level up my guns or levels they could also put that as other game option like hard core and what not
and how many of ur group were staying at level 80 not because that you’ve reached the max prestige at any point but because so u wouldn’t have to go threw all the work and just get to the higher prestiges and be lazy about it
GreatDane00,
Every body in my group prestiged but we weren’t the highest prestige. Currently, in MW3 I will remain 10th prestige. The message I was trying to establish is high prestiges doesn’t exactly mean skill level. It’s all about how much time it took for you to get there.
One thing what is bothering me most is name indicator in Modern Warfare games. If there is a object like car or barrel between you and another player it wont show is it enemy or allie. I mostly play Hardcore mode so its very annoying when you go for kill and just when you have fired your gun the name pops out and its friendly and your down. In Black Ops this problem is fixed.
Ehh..I see what you’re saying but I just can’t agree. I don’t want the game makers holding my hand through everything. I mean, overpowered guns? The guns have different stats for a reason, if they were all the same (which is basically what you’re going for by wanting them to make guns better/weaker) then what’s the point of different guns? Just give us all the same one so its fair right? If you notice you keep getting killed by a certain gun, try it out for yourself if you’re annoyed. And spawns, I’ve never had any problems with or heard anyone having problems with. It sounds like a rage excuse to me (no offense) as for maps, I sort of agree in that its had the worst maps in a few games. But I never felt they were so bad that id stop playing or complain. They were fine to me, just they’ve had some REALLY good maps the last few games
Honestly I couldn’t give 2 shits about a damn thing except that as long as my M-16 is there and C4 is there, now for maps I believe they should incorporate a grip of the old maps such as, Bog, Crossfire, Firing Range, Backlot, Vacant and many more of the old school maps!

THEY NEED TO REALLY FIX THE SPAWN SYSTEM NOW I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF SPAWNING IN CROSSFIRE OVER AND OVER
Hey guys let’s not jump to conclusions, quick-scoping is fun and exciting and it would be sorely missed if they decided to take it out.
For one thing, a lot of the CoD community is based on trickshotting and quickscoping (montages, clans, FaZe or OpTic) and a lot of people will surely get pissed over this. I’ll agree that MW3 quickscoping is dirt easy (any noob can beast with it), and the problem actually is that it’s TOO easy. The way to balance quickscoping is to make it harder (like black ops) and to make it take actual skill to beast with it.
I’ve seen Black Ops 2 sniping gameplay and it looks fairly easy (a balance between mw3 and black ops sniping) which is great since map sizes will be larger and a lot more people will find it harder to quid cope long range.
Peace!
The number #1 problem and by far the biggest problem is all the cheaters!! Wallhackers, aimboters etc.
Can´t play long before you meet up with them.
It´s rare to play a game without any cheater nowadays.
They have to put MOST work in doing a great anticheat program.
As the previous games had as; Punkbuster etc.

I have been in one, just one, game with a cheater in days worth of gameplay XD

Combat Training in MW Series would be absolutely awesome!!!
The maps and the guns are the real issue with this game. First off, these maps blow. The only maps I enjoy playing are Bakaara, Seatown, and Black Box. I’m tired of playing Dome and Hardhat. Way too overplayed before the DLC came out. Not only are the spawn locations bad but the maps are just so cluttered. The devs are really trying to encourage their run and gun style of play with this games maps. Even if the maps are big, they are so crowded with useless objects and tight hallways. More this game then any other I’m constantly getting killed from behind. The actual guns are fine but I do not like how they choose to overpower some. Call me crazy but should the last unlocked gun be the best? The FAD should be more powerful than the ACR. The MSR should be more powerful than the LS96 or whatever that sniper is. If COD devs want to figure out which guns are better than the other before the release date then release a beta like Battlefield does to work out the bugs. Do it activision. Do it.
The people who complain about the game are usually the people who aren’t very good at the game. I used to hate MW3 when i first bought it because i could never get kills but now that i’ve had it for 6 months i love it. It’s much more fast paced than the other CoD games and i don’t think the guns are overpowered other than the type 95. I agree with what the other people on here said, if they make all the guns the same then it will just be pointless to even unlock new guns. The guns you get at higher ranks are supposed to be better since you worked harder to get them. Quit complaining about things like that and address real issues like the spawn system.
The FMG9 is unlocked as soon as you make custom classes. so lvl. 4
quick scope gets annoying real fast, especially when u watch the kill cam and clearly they dont even shoot me..also i love using akimbo..problem is its a very powerful weapon once u learn to use it..almost too powerful if you ask me..and def need to get better maps.
1. It would be cool if there were weapons that were only unlocked by leveling up in Prestige. It would give more players a reason to keep on prestigeing.
2. Even though it sounds like a downgrade– I prefer no pro perks, I rather numerous separate perks rather than a perk with an action that I like but then a Pro add-on that just kind of makes it overpowered. The only reason I used Quickdraw in MDW3 is for it’s Pro perk.
3. Get rid of quickscoping. I used to be a quickscoper myself in Modern Warfare 2 but it’s hype is long over and it appears that more people would rather have it removed rather than stay. Let a sniper be a sniper.
forget black opps 2 fix the spawn system in mw3 it makes me never want to play another cod game again and i am a die hard fan i have not bought another game since mw2 and i will not spend any more money on any cod game in till the game i already payed for is fixed including dlc cod will lose any profit from me and anyone that i can convince that we are being ripped off
What I want taken out are the stupid death streaks like Dead Mans Hand or Final Stand. When do you see that happen on a day today operation? They’re either dead or they’re not. They need to make up their minds. What I also think they need to do is take out akimbo weapons in general. When has anyone ever seen any military personnel use two pistols at the same time in an actual firefight? I haven’t. They need to take a lesson from Battlefield 3 on what goes into a game.
And for Christ’s sake establish dedicated servers…
They can’t establish dedicated game servers on console yet that would require so much money that they would be bankrupt!
Too much money? $60 for a video game that has a crap ton of things wrong with it is too much money. Their gross income is enough to establish dedicated servers and still put money in their pockets. And it would make purchasing their games more enticing in the future! Everyone tells me that it would be a lot of money, but they never think of the actual revenue they get when they make you pay an arm and a leg for everything. Too much money? Give me a break.
What i think they should do about the spawn system is to make it like battlefield 3, (for all Haters on bf3 its a very good game coming from a former hater) Bf3 lets you CHOOSE where you spawn in the original spawn point (ex. U.S Deployment) or you can choose a mobile spawn deployment ( a team mate ) or a spawn beacon.
I Would Love to see that in Black Ops 2 and in other call of dutys to come!
you want good maps. bring back the following maps.
FROM MW2
Rust
Scrapyard
Wasteland
Favela
Highrise
Skidrow
MW
Crash
Vacant
Strike
Bog
Bloc
These were the best maps of the cod series.
Only reason i picked up mw3 again was because of the release of terminal (brings back so many good memories)
take out rocket powered grenades and missles from hardcore mode. vehicle lock-on only please.

>>Just this<<
Better spawns, remove lag compensation, weapons that shoot slower (give the opportunity to dodge the shots as cod4 or cod2).
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
You guys need to take the pp9om1 away it’s to powerful and it gets me so mad when someone uses it on me and takes two bullets but when I use it it takes a whole clip like face on.

–Better spawns instead random spawns, i prefer oldschool spawns like cod 2 or 4
–Remove lag compensation, i like to see where i really did the shot.
–Weapons that shoot slower, all weapons are so fast shoting, i cant escape of them (give the opportunity to dodge the shots as cod4 or cod2).
–Remove perks based on skills like fast aim, stalker, etc. where is the skill of a player if u give free skills, give to players chance to feel a real first person shooter where its based on skills again (cod 4,cod2).
I think the quickscoping needs to go to a degree, because if there trying to make the game realistic. Who in the hel do you see spinning with a sniper rifle and one hitting someone, sorry it just doesn’t happen. Also I realize you can hipfire a sniper rifle and be somewhat accurate with it but who do you see grab a sniper rifle up close to use. It is intended as a long range weapon. To fix that problem they should make it so it takes a little bit to accurately get your target, not to completely make the weapon innacurate. They should implement the drop ratio for bullets as well so if someone is about a half mile away in the game you have to aim above the head a little to hit them.
I personally agree the two biggest problems are the spawn system and just how ridiculously OP some of the guns are; I’ve been shot down from across the map by an MP7 more times than I care to recount, while trying to use a sniper rifle. It’s ridiculous. All the people who give me any sort of problems all use the same exact guns(ACR, MP7, MSR, etc.), and sometimes all I can do to break even is to use the exact same guns against them, which is really redundant.
As for the spawn system, it seems really unfair when you spawn a few feet from an enemy, walk forward, and get shot down for not having remained in the exact spawn point… Again, it’s happened to me more times than I want to think about. Seems to me if you can run around the map fast enough, you can kill someone multiple times by catching them at their spawn points.
What I’m trying to say is MW3′s turned into a game I want to play for fun(and I have fun by not having a consistently sucky K/D at the end of every match), but the only real way I can accomplish this is by choosing between one of a handful of broken weapons, or (regrettably) camping as hard as I can and hoping for the best. Nobody likes a camper, but if it’s what I have to do in order to use whatever gun I want without getting “umadbro” from every John out there using an ACR with a Silencer, I won’t feel bad…
Yea I always found call of duty shotguns ridiculous!!!… Why do the bullets I shoot from my shotgun stop in mid air… Bullets dont stop in mid air!.. please give them more range… I would be very thankful…
Oh an shake some things up you know.. add new weapon selections to infection… Take off the throwing knives since you made your barriers already… No place to get out of the map or spots people cant reach.. so make it legit.. no throwing knives… Make a hardcore moshpit gamemode with no explosives..?
should add combat training the next MW game and also fix the spawning and leave quickscoping it would be no fun without it.
Whos idea was vests…. Just please dont have it on black ops 2… I cannot stress how much it dissapointed me the way people used it…..
90% of what people complain about can be attributed to peoples play styles. To passive? You’re a camper. To aggressive? You’re a try hard. Playing casually? You’ll get yelled at. Ask people to play better you’ll be reminded it’s just a game.
I don’t like quickscoping but it’s not going anywhere.
I don’t like camping but there is nothing the developers can do to make players move their right joystick.
People are going to use what guns work the best.
It’s COD. It’s not perfect, but we all have a love/hate relationship with it.
Well first infinity ward n Treyarch are twp different companies so infinity ward has noooo control over Black ops 2 n MW3 like seriously they need to fix a hole bunch of shit especially the Striker like seriously that guy is shooting me from unbelievable distance And i agree with the Knifing and the fucking mp7
I think LAG is the biggest issue in MW3. I’m so tired of paying for a good broadband connection and constantly get in rooms that are yellow barred with constant hit markers. Split screeners add to the problem big time. I think split screeners should be limited to campaign or spec ops only.
Weapons:
-Underpowered:
>> Model 1887
>> Fad
>> Ump45
>> PM-9
>> M16 (a little)
-Overpowered:
>> ACR (highaccuracy and power)
>> Mp7 (high accuracy)
>> PP90m1 (high power)
I hated MW3, because leading up to it they said “There’s going to be alot of gun on gun action” But then on every single map (Mostly Seatown and dome) you get campers and people killing you from behind!!!! Another thing, Hkw many bullets it takes to kill a person is allwats obviously unrealistic, but in MW3, Its just ridiculus! Using a SMG it takes around 15 bloody bullets to kill!! Please fix this!!
It would be nice if the could fix if if there is a change in host or something similar that anything happening in the game would just stop. I don’t know how many times I’ve thrown a grenade or lost a kill streak because of a host change.
A headshot balance, every time recoil help players to get kills whitout well aim, watch this video to watch what im talking about
