I always use Dexterity up until I unlock the Shock knife. I always equip: Hardline w/ Blind eye as a Perk 1 Greed.

I wish there was an option at the cost of 2 slots to run 3 perks from any given tier. I'd roll with hardline, ghost and lightweight.

I wish they'd just let us spend 10 coins any way we pleased. I own a real AR15 and have about 5 attachments on it why not in BO2?

I am about to hit 3rd prestige and I have yet to run a class with Ghost or a suppressor . I think that Ghost will be my next permanent unlock.

I don't think there's a class, other than when I snipe, that I don't run with dexterity. Double down with the quick draw attachment, and it gives you a distinct advantage.

A few of my classes I enjoy the perk 1 greed with that exact combo.

It really is kind of frustrating the way they have it set up now. In order to use an extra perk, you waste 2 of the 10. I do run it, but it's often at the expense of my tactical grenades. Of course then I often find myself in situations where I wish I had tactical grenades, but I guess that's the point.

Why can't I use three attachments, six perks, and a launcher if I want to though? Honestly there are some guns I would love 4 attachments. That's the thing I find infuriating about Treyarch. They come up with a great idea like using unlock tokens and unlocking things as you want, but then they still require you to level up to unlock what you want so it kind of ruins that part of it. It actually isn't a benefit, it's a cost because you may not have the tokens to unlock something if you like to unlock everything.

They also have a pretty interesting concept with the 10 slots, but they go and cripple it with the wildcards taking up slots. It's not enough that there are no pro perks, but now in order to get a "pro" perk you have to waste a slot you would have for a grenade or something else you should still be able to run with.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (November 2012)

^^ I always end up forfeiting a tactical grenade to run Perk 1 Greed or extra attachments.

I think when Treyarch or IW give us the options to spend 10 tokens any way we like, that will be the perfect BO or MW game. I'd like to have more than 3 killstreak rewards too.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (November 2012)

I sometimes don't even run with a secondary weapon and instead take one of the perk greeds instead.

My only gripe with the create a class is that I liked having each class having its own unique individual killstreak/scorestreak.

In other news I was soooo happy that I finally shot down a dragonfire with my SMAW. It had been a week since I saw someone bust one out. I finally have the Gold camo for the SMAW

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (November 2012)

The only thing so far that drives me nuts is the carry over of score streak rewards between rounds. Seems like some of the more organized teams hold on to all theirs and unleash them as soon as a second round of any given play mode starts.

I know they aren't breaking any "rules" but it's maddening when you have warthogs, stealth choppers, death machines, mini-guns, guardians and everything else deploying all at one time. Sucks the fun out of some rounds.

Just a heads up that this weekend is a double XP weekend. Took advantage and hit prestige 3 and after an hour I was up to level 20...I have a problem.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (November 2012)

Damn, just got back on a killer winstreak tonight. I stopped myself on the last game when I went 69-0, had to end it on an awesome note.

Been really switching up my classes depending on the map too...Really starting to take to the Remington.

Anyone else notice that now being host is a good thing again? I was having my best games when I was host tonight (you can check when the round starts by quickly choosing your class then hitting select. If you are the only one in the lobby with green bars, you are host).

I have never gone 69-0, but I have had games about 55-3 or so...it is possible...especially on games like domination.

I love Kill Confirmed, but the amount of times I miss score streaks is maddening. Its usually because some asshole rushes to grab tags from my kills while I'm clearly doing the same.

Unlocked the AN-94 my last go around. Grip+stock+suppressor turns it into a laser gun...so much fun.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (November 2012)

Kill confirmed is the main game mode I play, but I think they need to change the score..if you grab your teams kill, it should only give you 50 points and 50 to the person that got the kill...

But I think this was done the way it is to cut down on snipers getting massive scores by camping and having the team get the confirms...so it probably balances out... but maybe they could have a proximity sort of score system..if you are within 10 yards of the confirm my above score works..but if you are across the map it is the old score system...

Haha not at all, the only satisfaction I get from COD is getting Scorestreaks/killstreaks, don't care about a whole lot of anything else as long as I get my shit.
