Yeah, I do, I just think it isn't necessary. I mean, realistically, with Mario Kart, if you're in 8th and have a lap behind, you're done for without the better items (unless magically, every other driver heads off a cliff 3 times in a row). In CoD, I feel like you can easily turn it around on your own, and sure, with…

Deathstreaks, from what I remember, were basically buffs for your player in order to help you survive longer. Here's the list of them. http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Deathstre…

Good point, I had forgotten about Scribs. Again, I'm of the opinion that it simply wouldn't be a big enough deal to go to court over, but I'm sure, as ever, the legal department is looking out for it.

Ha. I have many many many things to tell you, if you're viewing CoD as the pinnacle of real-life battle simulation.

It just seems like it makes each game, I dunno, flat? If that makes sense? With the (re)introduction of deathstreaks, it'd be harder for either side to gain that advantage, because the odd DS would end up statistically leveling the playing field. If we're going for level playing fields, then lets go all the way and…

I know, I just wanted to preepmtively poke at the fact that people will be bitching about women shooting/get shot in a game, when men have been doing it for ages, but of course its been perfectly OK for men to shoot/get shot in a game.

I didn't say it isn't cheap, and there's a whole separate debate on whether its the result of a poor level/spawn design and that's how it should be fixed, or if the players should just suck it up and try to get lucky with a grenade or spray 'n' pray, or by introducing artificial aspects like deathstreaks for added…

As soon as the scope screen appears, the firing point of the gun is at the center of the screen. If you're quick enough to time that, keeping in mind that your sight is blocked for a good half second while the scope rises, and get a kill, its earned.

They're not naming the game CoD: Cranked, though; its just a game type name, inside a playlist, inside a game mode (multiplayer), inside an actual game. I'm pretty sure its too low level for it to be anywhere near legally infringing.

I get what you're saying, and in reality, it probably is just coming down to personal opinions, but as I stated in another reply, I just felt like deathstreaks were an artificial way of the developer attempting to balance skill levels. I would prefer my games to have rewards based on players earning it, rather than…

So is the CS:GO update basically hats?

That's the nature of CTF, though: with the longer respawn timers, it gives the opposite team plenty of time and freedom to set up elaborate spawn traps with nothing to be done about it. Even with deathstreaks, the most I could think of is outlasting it with Juggernaut (but on Hardcore, it would only be an extra bullet…

Shhhhh stop making fun of me!

I would say its newer than MW3, and newer than the updates from Blops1 to Blops2, but you're right, obviously they aren't brand spanking new.

...OK? Should I link you to the raft of Asylum-produced knock-off movies that share very similar play on names, and mostly copied content, and none of them have been sued out of existence?

Valid points. While my opinion is that it wouldn't be enough to warrant a "can we sue?" statement, I'm sure lawyers made sure of that beforehand anyways.

So, break the underlying functionality of scopes to prevent a very small subset of people from using it faster than you can...got it.

Dog seems like a ground-based version of the escort drone? Juggernaut maniac...??? And the only helicopter shown (not even...) was with the player hanging out the side with a sniper rifle taking potshots at people. Yes, these are new. Not every killstreak is going to be brand new, but the ones shown were.

Ok, I'll play the other side.

Something like that. That, plus the introduction of what appear to be a scale of meh-to-good perks (lower point values are less useful, etc), should provide a bunch of added customization. I'm cautiously optimistic about it, but ultimately I don't think it will change a lot.
