I switched from an assault rifle to an MTAR with a grip and holographic, and even though on paper I should be doing waaaaay worse on most of these maps it's actually doing me way better. I'm actually even going positive occasionally! I need to try the other ones though, even with a grip it seems to jump/spread around a bit. It's also crap at range, but that's actually balanced for once so that's fair.
Played a bunch of Domination and Kill Confirmed with some friends tonight, the spawns seem to actually be getting worse if that's even possible. The people I play with are mostly folks who have never used the term spawn kill or excessively bitched about spawns in the past 5 years, but it was coming up nonstop from them tonight. We finally had to duck out and do Safeguard because they were getting so frustrated with it. They've already decided they're not buying the next CoD, and that kind of talk never ever came up with any of the previous releases, even MW3 at launch which was mostly a shitshow. I think the damage has been done, but they absolutely have to fix the spawn situation ASAP. In two separate Domination matches earlier when we were three capping I exploited the exact same spawn killing scenario in that video linked earlier in the thread where I was killing the same people spawning into existence right in front of me repeatedly, it was ridiculous.
As an aside, does anybody feel that the Maniac perk is way too good right now? On a fairly regular basis I'm seeing people go on insane 20-30+ killstreaks with it. With all of the ins and outs of the maps right now it's seemingly easy to duck away long enough for your health to regen. Or at least I'm assuming that's what's happening because I'm seeing people keep that thing up for goddamn ever, and one on one it's practically impossible to kill somebody using it if they're competent with it unless they're already weakened or in an open area or something.
