Search on Ghosts is pretty bad. I haven't been able to play it much since none of my friends list wants to play it. The maps are actually very good for search in my opinion. The game didn't really remove game types that I cared about.

Some of the maps are straight garbage for search. Overlord being the worst imo. It what search game has the offense ever been able to plant before the D can even get to the site, that's just fucking ridiculous. Offense with riot shield/c4 wins every time. Rush plant and sit in corners with riot shields lol

Well, riot shielders ruin the game mode indifferent of the map design.

True, that map is just horribly designed though. The offense should not be the ones camping the bomb site from the get go lol, with riot shields or not. It just doesn't make any sense, let the defense have a chance to defend. Being forced to play into someones hands is always a disadvantage and the offense can do it on every round.

I have a Marathon Agility class that allows me to get to that site quickly but I understand your point.

theater mode is what's considered to have caused the bad lag comp, so the removal is not a negative. as a youtuber, theater mode is garbage to watch back anyway. on bo2 it wouldn't show killcams or the use of streaks. it was also choppy. league play was also something i never got into.. i played it plenty, but it wasn't some kind of savior imo. technically if you watch pros play, they're just camping when it comes to search. they ADS with snipers/M8s.. it can be fun to watch at tournies, but it's boring AF to play like that for a long gaming session. i'd rather run and gun in pubs. going for a high SPM was a good enough challenge for me.

one of the main things that BO2 did right was hardpoint.. i'm not saying that ghost maps would play well with hardpoint, but that game mode was still fun as hell to play. i dislike the scoreboard relocation, but i could deal with it if it actually FUCKING updated when someone dies.. that shit takes forever to turn red and it gets me killed.

BO2 maps are still terrible for the most part.. they're simple and cater to campers. there's tons of headglitches and places to post up. most of the maps offer completely no incentive to cross the threshold of the map if you're on defense for SnD. in ghosts you need to push up to a choke point while on defense or you'll get flanked. in ghosts if you overstep your bounds and push into offense spawn, you'll actually benefit from it. in BO2 if you're on defense and push into offense spawn, then you'll prolly die since they have some line of sight with a headglitch.

the thing about BO2 is if played like pros, then the maps would have zero flanks..none. if you rush in BO2 and do well, then you most likely didn't outplay someone..they were just bad. in ghosts rushing is a legitmate tactic and it helps you out.

good connection > lag comp ..i'm tired of getting punished for paying for good internet, so i would prefer ghosts. stat-wise ghosts is my best CoD yet. was sitting at a 2.7 KDR and 4 W/L with 22% accuracy for a very long time exclusively in SnD. in BO2 i was 2.35 and 3.X with 136 SPM.


wat? it plays perfect on overlord. if you're on defense and you get the good/left spawn, then you can make it to B bomb at the same time.. once you get to the ramp, then ADS their door. if you get the bad/right spawn, then you could get cut off from the side door garage. make a stun class as well since you can stun over the hill at the people rushing into the bunker. also, you can run straight into the garage and shoot people before they make it into the bunker. i tend to use smoke a lot and that will help a ton when breaking a B bomb plant. all the spots they hide are obvious now.

riot shields being a problem doesn't mean overlord is a bad map.

Only thing BO2 lacked was connection.

Hell, even without riot shielders if 3 people push B site on Overlord from start, it's near impossible to break through without nading the hell out of it.

You still play alot of blitz? Noticed rank last time I was on. We should start playing together
