As you may know, Treyarch seems to have put a lot of effort into resolving some of the issues and annoyances that plagued MW2, like Commando, tactical insertion boosting, overpowered killstreaks, Stopping power and Sleight of Hand abuse with sniper rifles, aka quickscoping (basically people use sniper rifles like all-range shotguns, getting cheap one hit kills). The new Sleight of Hand perk doesn't allow quickaiming with scoped weapons anymore, resulting in no more (or severely limited) quickscoping. Are you glad this was done or are you upset about it?

I think it's a great thing, since such a tactic, though it requires some skill, is just cheap, annoying and unrealistic.

I like to quikscope, but im tired of people always complaining when you use the breath feature. There will still be quickscoping, its just going to be really hard to pull off like in the cod games before mw2

I would say most people. While I love the action of CoD campaigns and have loved all of them, I put 10-20 hours at most into them and at least three times that into every CoD game made. Especially the MW games.

I don't think most people buy CoD for the singleplayer. Anyway, yes! No-scoping was just a stupid concept and I think its about time it got put to rest.

Agreed. If you've seen videos on quickscoping, it's just not how a game should be played. Align 3 perks together so you could quickscope people down. It just doesn't seem like normal gameplay, imho.

I still play the single player of Modern Warfare 2 again and again from time to time. Because it's one of the greatest single player experiences ever. They should REALLY make a Modern Warfare 3 and finish the story.

Pretty much hehehe. I never start playing multiplayer until I'm done with the SP, but first-person shooters these days just drive me right along into the MP before I even finish the single-player portion. Games like MW2, BFBC2, MOH, all come to mind. Perhaps because they make the SP so short and lackluster that I don't care enough for them.

not to mention that half of the time i get quick scoped their crosshairs are nowhere near my body. so yeah, im glad theyre making it harder to quickscope. it seems treyarch is really making an effort to put balance back into the game which is the reason im really excited for it. because honestly, i think mw2 is a fun game, but its just gotten to the point where soo many people abuse the cheap perks and the tactical insertions that its too frustrating to play for more than 30 minutes at a time. i have high hopes that treyarch will fix most of those problems, and from what ive read, it seems that they have for the most part.

I don't understand... I used to quick-scope in Call of Duty 4. I didn't need a perk for it... And I don't recall it being hard.

To answer my own question, I never even hit rank 50 on Modern Warfare 2, so...

P.S. On a side note, when I quick-scoped in Call of Duty 4 I never felt like I was being cheap. If I missed, I died. That's pretty fair in my opinion.

Because the campaign is what 6 hours give or take ? I have over 35 DAYS playing time in MP , thats why . Heck when I get a new game I go right to Mp and save the campaign for when the networks are down ! LOL

I think the quick scope's are lame , but they paid for the game , and they can play it the way they want . That being said I am happy that commando is gone , Ithink SOH is the best perk , just hate when kids run around with sniper rifles , that's wrong .

I usually finish the SP before I start on the MP, but lately, I just skip right to the MP after a couple of hours of SP. It could be because of these 5 hour SP campaigns. :P

Agreed. It's almost like you have to "become the enemy" in order to stand a chance. That means, you may have both sides exploiting the game so they could have their bragging rights and show off their KDR's.

I started playing MW again because I hated MW2. I will wait and see what the community at large (NOT reviews, as they all said MW2 was the greatest, and it's not) says about it before I get it. Personally, I hope they make it into a REAL war game, not kids running around with Scavenger claymores and AA12's.

Although I agree with the COD4 comment, Call of Duty Black Ops isn't going to differ drastically from MW2. Less exploits because of Treyarch, but if you want something different, you should definitely check out BFBC2 if you haven't already.

Unfortunately, multiplayer mode moves units. Do you think 20+ Million copies of MW2 would have been sold without multiplayer?????? I prefer a single player campaign, but you have to admit, multiplayer has taken over.

I always thought a better Pro Perk for Sleight of Hand would be faster weapon swapping, instead of aiming down sights.

I love being able to use slight of hand with my submachine guns, but i think it shouldnt lock onto someone the way quickscoping does, but fast aim is essential for me since my super fast class is for run and gun in close quarters maps it helps being able to run around a corner and bring my gun up fast but aim assisting of any kind is cheap. i play hard core so to me the whole stopping power bull is a non issue since everyone has less health and such. i hope they keep the pro perks they added a reason to strive to use the perks, and for people complaining about scavanger, i use that perk with throwing knives and it is invaluble since you cant always get your knife back, i hope it stays, just use sitrep to spot claymores, the thing i like is that shottys are now primary weapons again, as they should have been, an assault rifle with a shotty as secondary is obsurd, they need to balance shottys though, they are way to powerful and take little to no skill. I also hope the single player campaign is much longer i do love multiplayer but why should multiplayer take presedance over single player? we deserve the full package! and thank god for no more over powered kill streaks, like a carpet bomb with the harriers, a harrier alone would suffice. i just hope they do a better job on this one than world at war, it just felt like a reskin with zombie levels... not up to par if you ask me.

While I agree that MP will keep the game going, but I'm really interested in the SP. The Cold War is an iconic time period, so I want to see Treyarch's take on that era.

I hated people who would get hip fire kills with the .50 cal, so hopefully it'll help. Too bad I don't care about BO since Modern Warfare 2 turned me off the COD series.

Its VERY good, I love to quick scope in MW2 - I mean I REALLY love it, but it is overpowered, and annoying for other players - It seems they've done a lot of work in balancing the features in Black Ops.
Tbh, Keep MW2 for private match quickscoping, buy black ops for private match Mike Myers/ Hide 'N' Seek - For private matches at least...

taking the skill out of a sniper? what exactly do you mean? theyre just taking out an exploit , which is quick scoping and has nothing to do with sniping.
