Pssht, it's all about Counter Strike: Global Offensive, son, AKA "Still Not Counter Strike 2!"
I'd never played CoD until they had the free demo weekend a few weeks ago for... what was it, Black Ops? Pretty awesome game, so I'm probably going to buy it or MW3 when it comes out, though I have no love for Activision and Bobby Kotick.

Commando is just like any other perk. Theres nothing wrong with it, and people always complain just because theyre not getting killed by a gun. Its the same with last stand too.
As for quick scoping, i agree, and there are so many ways that the designers could stop it without messing things up like black ops, but they just dont want to.

Honestly - I think BF3 will be the better game, at least for what people want out of modern games.
Large-scale maps - Battlefield
Vehicles - Battlefield
64 player games - Battlefield
Hopefully a current lack of interest in 'mainstream' games, as to prevent screaming 13 year olds who got the game because their parents want to be left alone from playing - Battlefield

Nah come on now, Commando is ridiculous, I've lunged from one end of the room to the other before, it has no place in any game. There's perks that give bad players an advantage and that's never good in a game where skill should be rewarded, if I kill a guy I expect him to you know... die, not go into Last Stand and kill me while I'm reloading (because I expect someone with no face to stay dead).
(obviously over exaggerated, but you get the point)
The question isn't why do I kill. The question is, why I don't kill everybody.

If youre looking for realism dont play video games. And there are so many easy ways to combat using said perk that it isnt unfair, not to mention better perks. You forget that someone using commando or last stand doesnt get to use ninja, scrambler or steady aim (?).

I'll agree that some of the new items/features look cool, but I hate the fact you're playing a reskined version of COD4 :/
Well thats the same with any game really though. Halo, battlefield, etc all do the same thing.
Not true; Halo introduced Duel Weilding in 2, Items in 3, and armor abilities in Reach. Not to mention the health/sheilds being changed to just sheilds and back.
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.

And CoD changes most perks, guns and killstreaks everygame, as well as intorduces things as well, such as duel wielding in cod 6 (mw2).

CHILDREN! Call of duty and halo are basically the same game with each new release. The faster we can come to this conclusion the better off the world would be! and to quote my brother "if it aint broke don't fix it" but they seem to take this to a literal step.

Halo isn't. CoD isn't the same game absolutely every edition either. It's simply that CoD didn't change at all until MW1, and then didn't change until Black Ops. It's all about the Developers. Treyarch brought some new features, shamelessly ripped from other games, but Black Ops was at least different. What's different about this CoD compared to MW2?

I sincerely doubt that it actually changed much in terms of actual gameplay. A game that looks prettier isn't necessarily that different. I'm waiting until I actually play it, myself.
I agree, you should play it before commenting on it.
I agree Melissa. I have almost near 400 hours into BC2, and with good gaming headphones (Steelseries 5Hv2 here), it is absolutely fething amazing. Expecting BF3 to be at least double that.

Neither did halo...
We just went over this, each game has very minimal changes, and though obviously not the same game, neither games change much throughout the series.
Halo 1 2 and 3 are CoDs mw1 2 and 3, and ODST and Reach are like CoD 5 and 7.
