EDIT: Having played the game a lot now, the good news is the game is fundamentally really fun and fast paced.
I can confirm that air support doesn't appear all that often, which is a relief.
Second Chance, however, is horrible. Just horrible.
RC Car is super annoying too. I think it needs to be a 5 killstreak, not a 3.
The spawns are also atrocious.
As for the sniping, I'm stayng out of it from now on as I don't snipe, but my buddy had a tough time with it last night and was very disappointed to the point where he had to change over to an assault class.
Here's Woody's gamertag having a game of Black Ops and as we can see, two of the worst problems in the franchise are just as bad, if not worse, than before.
The Chopper Gunner is ridiculous. Way too powerful. Not to mention that the game repeatedly spawns players outdoors and directly into its line of fire. Woody gets 26 easy kills with the thing.
And the dogs are even worse. They are now a one hit kill instead of two.
Then there's the RC Car. You can get this with a 2-kill streak using hardline, and today I saw someone get a six-man kill with it. Random, luck based bullshit - exactly what ruined MW2.
I for one know I won't be spending another year of my gaming life getting mad at Call Of Duty, so unless Treyarch are true to their word, listen to the community and patch the shit out of this game, I won't be playing it for long.
Second Chance Pro looks like it's going to be more rage inducing than Commando, Martyrdom and Painkiller combined. Watch at 3.26. Not only will you lose a kill, team-mates can revive people in their auto-dropshot last stand, even if they don't have the perk themselves.
Now watch this:
Treyarch have added a mechanic that makes the sights sway erratically all over the place for a second and a half before settling, and during this time you cannot get a kill even if your crosshairs are on the target.
They have not just nerfed Quickscoping, but utterly ruined sniping. They have such a huge sniping community that this just seems like complete madness.
For the people saying it's more realistic: Since when is it realistic for a rifle to automatically sway randomly around like crazy and a bullet not to go where the crosshair is for a second and a half every time you aim down the sights?
Hell, I don't ever snipe, I don't like quickscoing and even I can see that this was a ridiculous decision. It makes the Sniper Rifles utterly redundant.
So let's say a little prayer that Treyarch will fix these things soon, or many of the COD community will finally be moving elsewhere.
EDIT:
Yes, I know I'm probably over-reacting guys. But I love the COD series and it will break my geeky little heart to have another game ruined by random, overpowered, flow-breaking, frustrating bullshit, so yeah, I get a little passionate
Don't forget I was the one talking up Black Ops for the last few months when everyone else was predicting it would be awful!
