In black ops 2, there was over 10 guns you could use to do well. Gun balancing (although this can change): the vast majority of players who attempt to do well are using the Bal or ASM1, and for good reason. Moreover, the spawns are very difficult to predict due to faster movement, thus, making a tactical playstyle far more difficult.Įxo abilities are borderline useless in this game and really a waste since they don't recharge. Less emphasis is placed on gun skill and positioning, and more is placed on faster movement. No exo abilities: while I do enjoy the new movement mechanic, ultimately, I believe they're a detriment to the game. The game is refreshing and I do like the arcade feeling of the game but I hope Treyarch goes back to more of a classic game and less modern too. Just cannot cover my back with all the movements. This game I get killed from behind way too much and I am a careful run and gunner. BO2 had great map control with sentry guns and microwaves yet it was all balanced well. You see more gun variety in HC because the time to kill is much shorter and the weapon balance is better.Įxo movements also destroy map control. Keeping your sights on a dude double jumping and dashing with a 4HK or 5HK gun is nearly impossible. The guns are harder to balance too because people move to much so you pretty much need a three hit kill gun. That leads to bad spawns as well since you can move quickly from one place to another thus leaving you no place to spawn that is safe. You can simply leap anywhere, anytime, and get there pretty fast. The map sizes are perfect for a traditional CoD game but the rapid player movements and lack of needing ladders or created paths, leads the maps to feel much smaller. The exo movements are what hurt the rest of the game though. In conclusion: BO2 is way more better than AW, I lost my faith in the franchise, 2 broken games in a row just killed it for me. The connections were terrible in the first month or so, but then they were fixed, until now in AW I'm shooting a mag at somebody and they kill me, and in the kill cam I didn't shoot anything, which is really ruining the fun of a game that has potential. The scorestreaks were better, well, except for the Hunter Killer Drone which took me off guard many times and it's easy to get. The weapons were balanced, I can use a pistol and get the VTOL, close quarters maps like Nuketown 2025 and Hijacked let you use the Shotguns and finish on the top of the scoreboard! some of my friends used the Shotguns in maps like Standoff and they did great. When BO2 came out, it blew my mind -let's say a month later after they fixed the flaws- I stopped playing everything but BO2, the maps were really great -except for Carrier which I hated because I can't deal with snipers-, and Hijacked, man I didn't enjoy a map so much since Nuketown from BO1. Of course, some of these factors can change, but ultimately, I had far more fun playing Black Ops 2. They're the main reasons as to why I believe Black Ops 2 is the better game. This is extremely apparent on Extinct and Comeback. PLAYER VISIBILITY:: there are so many areas of maps that make it very difficult to see enemies in AW, which is incredibly frustration. The majority of streaks in AW are terrible, and not worth the effort in gaining them. Scorestreaks: Black Ops 2 had amazing streaks (although it can be argued that some were overpowered). Again, due to the exo movement, but also due to the vertical aspects of the map. However, in AW, it is almost impossible to control sections of the map. The three lane system is near perfect as it always gives an opportunity for map control, but also a chance to fight for control (Can be terrible if playing solo against a party lol). Map design: Although AW does have several good maps, I believe they are far inferior to that of Black ops 2. Moreover, the spawns are very difficult to predict due to faster movement, thus, making a tactical playstyle far more difficult. The following are several reasons as to why I think that to be the case: No exo abilities: while I do enjoy the new movement mechanic, ultimately, I believe they're a detriment to the game. For me, Black Ops 2 is the better game, by a considerable margin. I think AW has been released long enough to compare with other titles in the series, specifically, Black Ops 2.
