CoD4 doesn't have very good gun balance when it comes to SP and Jugg. Jugg is annoying as hell. Martyrdom sucks. A lot of the maps are too dark.. a lot of the maps don't have good flanks. I do like the simple scorestreaks though. The situational sound is bad when it comes to elevation. The general direction is ok, but MW2 is superior.

Never played WaW, but it looks clunky as hell.

MW2 would be the perfect CoD if tubers and deathstreaks were removed. I can handle commando users, so that doesn't bother me. The SMGs could use some variety, but the ARs are all really good. I don't mind the OP secondaries, but I can see people getting annoyed by them. I'd be fine with secondaries similar to MW3.

BO1 introduced the bad lag comp. The animation was choppy, sub-60fps. Bad hit detection. They nerfed soundwhoring (they also introduced a bomb plant noise for whatever reason). They nerfed dropshotting. They fucked up the angle of wall penetration.. They fucked up the balance of ghost. The blackbird was OP imo, but not a deal breaker. The maps had no flanks whatsoever. Thinking of SnD Jungle for example makes me want to throw up. They introduced the motion sensor. They removed fast climb from marathon, so climbing over shit was risky as hell. I did like BO1's combat record, but that's about it. They introduced an explosive damage delay, so spawn nades were useless on smaller maps. I'm sure there's more.

MW3 used to have really bad connection, but they patched it. The striker and the akimbo fmgs used to be OP as fuck, but they patched them. I used to hate assassin and portable radars, but with the addition of the specialist package I was able to work around it. I personally don't have a problem with recon..although a lot of people hate it. I think ex conditioning is required for map control over recon on a lot of maps. Recon is just OP on fallen SnD. It's kind of needed to break out of Dome. MW3 was a really good all-around CoD until they patched sitrep pro, which totally ruined the game.

BO2.. my thoughts on BO2: http://youtu.be/uJA6c6S19PM and http://youtu.be/pp3LQ6BdB7Y tl;dr - main points are the lag is bad and the remington, pistols and DSR are fucked up.

GB is even more of a joke. Those gametypes were jokes from the outset. TDM was a joke prior to MW3. The maps were too small for most of the objective gametypes so the spawns were lame. I has nothing to do with them being "pub." I don't get why every post you make uses some sort of strawman argument. The spawns in the three previous CoD titles have been terrible. We play Search because prior to the sitrep change, it was very fun and very few people were annoying. There was the occasional corner camper but they really weren't that annoying because they were terrible at the game and planting the bomb left them way too exposed. Sitrep pro changed that dynamic completely because dead silence was rendered obselete. The most important aspect of Search is the ability to move around the map quickly. This required a perk known as dead silence. It was a strong perk but no one complained about it. It was common for all 12 people to run it in a lobby and most of us that that was just fine. Sitrep pro changed it completely as now everyone is left with 2 choices. You are either going to be heard from halfway across the map, or you will crouch walk the map and never have the possibility of defusing the bomb...

I always ran and managed over a 2.0 even against kids who corner camped. Just remember if they kill you once doing that shit, they will most likely be around the same area again. Most kids that bad rely on camping in bs spots, kill them out of their spot, kill them coming back to spot, then commence spawn killing. Not really that much of an issue, if someone is really being that fucking annoying in a spot then just avoid them. Them camping will not be near enough to help their team win if you're actually slaying. Kinda goes without saying that the win is what's essential, not having a high kdr because you camp like a bitch.

I'm not saying that shit wasn't annoying or anything. It's just not something good kids do, you never had to worry about shit like that in GB (most gb games) and since the majority of good people don't do it, you're usually dealing with someone who shoots poorly in that situation.

I have very good stats on MW3. Like I said, I still do well. The game was still ruined by the sitrep patch. Just because I know how to play against sitrep users and bad corner camping kids in general, doesn't mean the game isn't less fun because of it. It's not fun to have to crouch more than I would had the perk been left alone.

Once again this is why you play gb... I honestly don't think I ever had to walk constantly to get the advantage on corner campers. Run+shoot=win. Just one mans opinion though, like I said, I personally never had a problem with it really. I enjoyed mw3 and I enjoyed the previous titles. BO has gotten be my least fav followed by this current title, still not a super difficult game while pubbing but a couple things have made it more noob friendly for sure.

In my experience GB is nothing like competitive CoD. People don't twitch and have great reactions..they camp and ADS. They also dispute a lot. Games are lag compy enough, so to add in the lag of private matches just makes things worse and even less fun. I also enjoyed MW3. I think I have 26 days on it, but ever since the sitrep patch I pretty much stopped playing it.

Hmmm I've only really had problems with camp fest for TDM on gb, this is also only against lower kids who are just doing everything they possibly can for a cheap win.

I think since I didn't stick around the scene long enough might be the reason those using cheap tactics were pretty much all I ran into. To do truly well requires a consistent team with communication and moderate practice and that's something I also have no interest investing in.
