The Call of Duty Thread

[[ACE] Zero]

Well having finally played through BOII I figure I might as well post my opinion.

I was very impressed by the campaign's narrative. It was tightly focused and well written, allowing players to understand and empathise with almost all the characters, making it easily one of the series best. Indeed I think I'd put it down as the best since CoD 4: MW.
However... I disliked how sodding omni-present Mendes was, I mean seriously how the heck does a guy get his hooks into that many different places? Also in the past CoD story-lines have just been the motivator/framework for the explosive action of the campaign, giving you enough to know why you're fighting and a little extra entertainment, having to consider the branching storyline gets in the way of the foot to floor arcade action the series is known for.

The action certainly felt tighter and better than in previous Treyarch entries and was overall quite satisfying.
However Treyarch really need to incorporate that code Infinity Ward created for AI allies to pick up and throw back enemy grenades, instead of running in terror or even not noticing them... And it is so definitely time for the CoD series at large to revisit it's grenade indicator, which is definitely
Also the action is pulled down a tad by having to consider the arching storyline.

Strike Missions... I both love and hate these.
It's good to finally see something new in CoD and the potential is great... However the control scheme needs more work, the balancing of friendly and enemy forces needs more work, and the AI of your troops TRULY needs more work... Even allied AI troops in normal missions aren't THAT dumb. Makes it even worse when you consider what failing in these missions means for the campaign.

Yea AJ, copy exactly what I said. Lol

So I've been stalking die rise on YouTube and that map looks really big. It doesn't even feel like a zombie map anymore.

I hear the Ballistic Knife got improved in BO2 and I was wondering, is it worth a permanent unlock? I'm level 30-something prestige 1 right now (KSG was my first unlock) and I was wondering if I should get the Ballistic Knife or Ghost. I didn't get to use it before I prestiged because there was no room for it in my classes, so I never really got to try it out.

If you are really good at shooting the Ballistic Knife, then go for it. Otherwise, No.

[Cometk]

not when you have the combat knife

gonna use my first unlock on flak jacket once i prestige, lv49 atm

[#SwoobatForUbers]

Well the thing is, whenever I pick it up from an enemy, I usually do well with it, and I just wanted to know if it was worth a permanent unlock as opposed to Ghost, the AN94, or something else.

[AJ]

i did it this order:
1 ghost
2 flak jacket
3 scavenger
4 claymore (randomly picked and was a joke lol)
5 an-94 (2nd best AR ever)


The scar is now my favorite AR. with select fire it seems like it's a wall hacking aimbot god gun.

It is indeed double weapon xp weekend for all platforms. Start prestiging those weapons!

Activision makes billions every year, and they can't sort out these problems? Seriously BO2 is my last COD.

[xDoN904™]

Bolded stuff i think isn't worth getting lol. No offense dude but primary gunfighter you get pretty early. Tac mask as well. Flak jacket and ghost are worth it, same with the an94. Skorpion is worth it i guess. Scar? Nah i think that's a waste lol

After like 2 prestiging you can't think of anything else to permanently unlock, so they really weren't a waste.

[AJ]

scavenger ghost flak jacket are the best ones I can think of. but using it on the m1216 is like perma unlocking the executioner lol

Well he did get the shotguns diamond.

The M1216 is my second favourite gun next to the AN-94.

[xDoN904™]

Well he did get the shotguns diamond.

That was the whole point at the start of my 5th Prestige (Same with the EVO on 6th and the multiple Assaults during my run and Diamond on 8th) since i really don't want to wait to lv.52 tp Diamond my Shottys. If i wasn't aiming for Diamond Shotguns, i wouldn't even bother.

Now as for the one who said the ones i wasted because you can unlock it early, I perma unlocked those on purpose since it was during Double XP last weekend and i was going to Master Prestige in under a day and a half so it really doesn't matter what i perma unlock the last 2 prestiges since i can blaze through them like nothing. Also the Chicom CQB/SMR/SCAR since i see got bolded is more of the users preference. Since i am good with those weapons since i want to have more Variety besides the majority of randoms i faced uses nothing but MSMCs and PDWs all over the place.

Though I am still thinking what class should i Diamond next after i get the annoying Crossbow, Combat Knife and the Assault Shield Gold to Diamond them. Not doing Snipers since 3/4 are easy to do and Launchers no, not for a while since the special challenges is by luck.
