There are so many killstreak types, grenades, and general stuff to piss people off it makes me realize why people would rather camp and let their equipment kill people for them.

I'd say Black Ops and even MW2 are 75% upgrades and equipment spam, and 25% actual FPS skill.

Agree. These are all the reasons I stay in the Barebones lobby. No perks, no attachments and no kill streaks! To me barebones is more "hardcore" than the hardcore mode.

My goodness, just hearing that such a thing as barebones exists almost tempts me to jump over the edge and buy this game. That and the FNFAL.

FNFAL is semi-auto and pretty much sucks in my experience. After 12h and 35 levels it's kinda weird. With assault rifles I'm usually the best players(no kidding) or at least at TOP3. With other weapon types(especcially shotguns and sniper rifles) I struggle getting even a positive K/D ratio. So right now the game's a bit boring and I'm only playing when i wanna relax, together with music.

Excuse me for asking, but how exactly does barebones differ from the other modes?

There's a few different playlists in the barebones lobby.

Pure Team Deathmatch: No perks, no weapon attachments, no equipment and no kill streak rewards. So, there aren't any n00btubers, last standers, claymores, or **** flying around...

Classic Team Deathmatch: It's pretty much the same as Pure, only there are the 3 "classic" kill streaks from MW1 on kills 3, 5 and 7.

Team Tactical: Like Pure only with fewer players (3-4 per team) and objective game modes instead of TDM.

see ERK that there is almost a game I could play atleast it looks like the hitboxes are better then bc2 hitboxes, and the guns kill easier ( thats the one thing i hate about bc2 people are still bullet sponges ).

Finally got around to completing the single player. Enjoyable but totally forgettable . Not sure how many times I've heard someone shout 'RPG' in the COD games or the 'thrown to the floor to be picked up' cinematic :rolleyes:

Even though MW2 was more of a mess with it's listen servers and rampant cheats I had more urge to play the MP of MW2 than I do that of Black Ops. I'm not sure what it is :(

It's probably the urge to get back to that ROHOS mod and make it pretty and perfect to release simultaneously with HOS... :D

You can easily pull of ridicilous k/d ratios in nuketown running demolition, i've done something like 125-8 , 150 -30, its just so damn easy to spawntrap on that map. Once i got 3 chopper gunners during one ~14 minute match of demolition, needless to say, enemies had no chance.

Treyarch should really fix the spawns so that you can spawn inside the houses on nuketown.

First DLC >First Strike< announced. It'll have 4 new MP maps and 1 new zombie mode map. Definitely not gonna buy if it's 15€ because I want 5 completely new mp maps and not one zombie map(not like people were actually playing zombie mode a lot) and two maps from SP plus all of those maps are already on the disc. DICE would give them away freely.

Fun fact: The DLC maps are already in the existing game files.
