Because complaining is something rather normal when a repetition of crappy things happen to you. We're not really complaining about dying, but more so the way we died. Plus, it's all part of the discussion anyways. It's not because something is fun that you can't complain about certain aspects of it. ;)
This game isn't everything. I mean I enjoyed the campaign, best CoD campaign so far. But, with the multiplayer they went a bit too far and it didn't really have that 'Modern Warfare 2 adrenaline rush' to it. They went too far with customizing your own reticles, I mean seriously, in Vietnam; America; Russia etc. I don't think you would customize your own reticle. Some guns designs are a bit too futuristic for the time. I'd think, and it probably is, that this game is following WaW because of things like zombies and because of where things are going with the game.
The Killstreaks were successful, people like them and not to over the top. But yes, when people use them on you, you get annoyed, especially if they call in a hell of a lot of air support and strikes. For me so far, it's been a game of 'you either to good or bad' and not alright, because that's what has been happening to me. Because, obviously, when you start well you will start achieving Killstreak rewards, get you more kills. But when you do bad, the opposite happens.

I played this game for the first time last night, and can definitely see the hype.
I played with my two friends on split screen pretty much all through the night last night. The controls were extremely fluent, the frame rate was really smooth, and it's just so satisfying to kill someone. I changed my classes after each fight, and my favourite setup was an AK-47 with a ACOG scope and an extended magazine, with a crossbow.
The only cons I noticed: the lack of small maps, and the restriction of removing the time limit.

Also, I noticed how messed up the spawns are in headquarters. When the HQ isn't captured one team spawns near to it , whereas, the other team would spawn quite far away. And it is very annoying spawning far away. If someone on a team has a tactical insertion by the headquarters as it isn't captured, that team will start spawning by it.
Headquarters spawn is ruined... I was in a few games the other day, and in all of them, at the start of the game an enemy spawned in front of me with his back to me. He wasn't super close, but I could see him and had an easy shot on him.
This was on Nuketown, so I expected as much, but really, for the first spawn of a game that's shocking...

Had this happen to me in hanoi, one of the bigger maps >:
But they should honestly pay more attention to the spawns now since those arent fix because it will take me 2 or 3 deaths in the enemy spawn to switch back to my spawn, and its getting quite ridiculous.

Come on guys, it isn't as bad as you are making it out to be.
Every game has teething problems, even if you don't think they are teething. I am sure you all know how much effort goes into making games. This is why a lot of the bugs will be fixed in the first few patches. Although they do beta testing, it isn't as effective as giving it to millions of people.

Gun Ship/Chopper Gunner spawn trapping on Nuketown is a real buzzkill for my mood. :(
So they announced the first map pack will be out on February 1st for 360,
https://blackops.digitalwarfare247.com/news/first-map-pack-announced
4 multiplayer maps and one Zombie map. I can't wait to see what these new ones look like, especially Kowloon and Stadium! Same price as the previous MW2 maps, but did anyone really expect any differently? Doesn't really bother me anyways.

If people are wrong then they need to be told they're wrong. No need to dance around the topic or paint a pretty picture. For example, tonight I ran into someone who ran around with an AK74u with a tube on it, secondary was RPGs, and they used Second Chance. I sent them a message telling them they need to give up the game because they're so bad at the game they got to use that kind of setup to get a kill. If telling the truth is "behind childish" then I'll be counted as childish.
This is coming from the person who used a riot shield for S&D in MW2, who used Commando every now and then "just for the fall damage". The same person who complained about tubes in MW2, and complained about the players in MW2... yea you're one to talk, telling us to not complain... -_-
And how is it my fault if I put a person down into Second Chance and they knife me? Or they shoot me with their main weapon on the way down? How is it my fault if I get tubed by someone camping a corner? How is it my fault if I die due to 3 bar connections? How is it my fault that the game picks poor poor hosts? How is it my fault if I die by an RC car when I didn't give that person a single kill? If you're so smart then tell me how to quit dying by these things. Because I'm not having fun when I get ripped off by Second Chance, I'm not having fun when I have my kills stolen or revived, I'm not having fun being 1 away from a Chopper Gunner and only to die due to something that's out of my hands... I have almost 5 days of playtime and I don't have fun when I see Second Chance, so please tell me how to have fun.
Yea I saw a post about it from GameSpot. I really hope some of them maps are smallish maps. We don't really have many small maps in BO. I hope they aren't small to the point where the spawns are super random, but just some nice small maps.
I can't wait for the map pack, it'll be nice to have some new maps in rotation.
I also hope the zombie map is fun. I'm always a sucker for zombie maps. XD
As for the price... I'm not surprised, but at the same time for me I don't think the price is that big a deal. I mean the reason why I don't like the $15 vs the $10 packs is because they're charging $15 because they can, because they know people will buy them. But at the end of the day it doesn't really matter to me, as long they aren't something stupid like $60 I'll be ok with paying $15 for some new maps.
MW2 was a bad game, I had fun using a riot shield because it drew me away from raging and start tubing. Sure I used Commando, but did I go around knifing? Did I sit by a doorway waiting? No. I used it to help me in close call situations.
It's not you're fault. I agree with you. I'll help you have fun:
- Play Demolition
- Use the Kill streaks: Spy Plane, Napalm & Attack helicopter.
- Have a fun class I use, Famas RD.
- Don't camp, rush the bomb sites, Plant, Defend.
- Keep away from there spwan.
- Stay away from campers.
- Don't play for kills. Play for whatever the game match says. EG: Plant bombs, Capture Flags etc.
I play by this tactic, but you know what, I get a not-so-good KD most matches. I get Tubed, Shot in the back, Spawn "raped". But I 80% I win the match, by planting the bomb. If you play like this the team will follow what you do. I always have fun, I feel better than the other players who camp for chopper gunner and go 50+ -to 3. Do you know why? I won the game. I know alot of my matches I will get killed unfairly, but I don't care. I know that I am a better play than the campers and exploiters.
Please at least try this and. Have fun!

Speaking of players who play Demo for the wrong reason, I got a 113-11 Demolition match on Grid yesterday. There really is no need for me to even bother with the objective when I'm playing with a group because the enemy teams are so ridiculously easy to beat. In fact, we'd let them defuse our bombs over and over just to extend the match time.
Edit: Also Arcanine has put an ad on Craigslist advertising his LAN party, if you guys fit the requirements you should try to make it:

Totally. Definitely need to see at least one new small map. I enjoy the two we already have... but I gotta say I'm getting sick and tired of playing Firing Range. It pops up in the playlist so much, at least for TDM. I wish they'd balance out Nuketown in the mix. I'm fine with the price too, especially considering there's no "old-new maps" included. I think they're cool, but if you're going to release them, either do so for free or with a good number of other ones too.Arcanine said:

Hahahahaha, that's awesome!
Wow this is coming from a long way off but I thought I had to comment on the video camera and RCXD.
The way the people that you play in these games worked, was unorthodox, where they'd use anything to secure the nessicery outcome.
The RCXD actually came from a true story from the Cold War.
There was reports of MAC-V-SOG operatives using remote controlled cars strapped with explosives and a camera to sneak into a compound and cause serious damage, due to the fact that it was undetectable to any sensors.
And the cameras where used for surveillance/counter-surveillance.
Just a little explanation

If its allowed in game, then it really shouldn't matter.I mean,you can't get mad if a gun allows ou to kill someone that way.If you die from that,then luck wasn't on your side,tough crap to deal with I know,but that the way the game is played.How do you think people in REAL war would have to deal with it?You are trying to kill alot of people but then your clip runs out so you die.Its just tough stuff that happens.You can get mad but you really can't blame no one else and just clap it up to the guy who got the kill on you.Thts what I do.And you know why?Cause its a game that is meant for everyone to enjoy.So while your there cursing your game out,the other guy is happily enjoy his game.That what everyone should do.People honestly take games too seriously.If you don't like it ,just turn it off;they were made to be played leisurely.
And that was funny until the black guy part,cause I'm black.But then again,your dog probably scarred for life now ,so its understandable.Edit: Also Arcanine has put an ad on Craigslist advertising his LAN party, if you guys fit the requirements you should try to make it:Spoiler:
