[El Capitano Gatisto]

I've changed my mind guys, this is a pretty good game. I'm still not sure about the loadout set up and all that, but I'm now sold on the maps and the gameplay. I was trying to play like in Black Ops 2, which rewarded lightweight loadouts and running-gunning because the hit detection and matchmaking were fucking awful.

This game is more like MW2 and it has taken me time to get back to that style of play, more circumspect, waiting to go round corners, trying to keep to areas where your back and at least one side is covered. It rewards seeing the enemy first and accuracy. The hit detection appears faultless so far, so if you see someone first and shoot straight, you'll win the shootout. The fast time to kill/die means there are few long range shoot-outs so this could be toned down a bit. It feels like a battle to go positive or help your team right now and it rewards teams sticking close and covering each other. Stealth and twitch-shooting loadouts are the only way to go, however. My preferred way to play is full stealth, but it was ineffective in BO2 because you'd always be out-shot by a fast player even if you saw him first or flanked him, so I welcome the return of flank and be flanked gameplay.
