The numbers Mason

I recommend to NEVER press the ESC key when a "downloading game settings" text appears. I used to do that all the time and by prestige 3 level 35 my account corrupted and I almost uninstalled the game because it reseted my stats and locked my classes, I could not modified the classes. I went through all of that, I prestiged again, I can change classes now but since I don't interrupt the dgs now I am prestige 6. But 100 hours lost to that. Other than that, there are decent servers, one with a cheater from time to time and the rest with dumb rules, admins that will kick you if you want to play the game instead of their game. WHO LIKES CROUCH SERVERS OMG it is like 90% of american servers and there is nothing you can do. Still, great game :D

Now this is probably the most I've played the multiplayer in a COD game.Why you may ask? Well it's because,unlike future installments where there are thousands of weapons/attachments and equipment to unlock and even more stuff to figure out how it works,Black Ops offers a cleaner,much more simpler approach. You got 5 classes to customise and choose from with an additional five that you can get once you prestige,you may have up to 2 attachments on a gun (with the coresponding perk) and a handful of weapons to choose from from each category (shotguns,ARs,SMGs,LMGs,snipers and secondaries).There's also three perks per class,each with their own unique abilities/characteristics and equipment such as lethal/tactical and special like C4,claymores,etc.It's very straightforward and easy to understand for everyone,especially people like me who barely play MP and want to have a good time with it. Regarding the maps however,they do tend to favor,as I've heard many people say,campers and there's a shit ton of them on almost every single damn map.Maybe a little less on smaller ones,but on things like Jungle and Havana,it's campers gallore.Cheaters aren't as present here,I don't think I've seen even one in my time playing the game,but there's an awful amount of toxic mfs and sweats playing since 2010 probably. Most of the modes are dead,except TDM,Search and Destroy and Capture the Flag,but honestly I don't think I'm missing on much.I'm still to check out the DLC maps,but from what I'm gathering they're pretty dead so... To wrap it all up,the MP is satisfying,the TTK is fair,the maps/guns are iconic.There's also the usual overpowered/broken guns that everybody seems to use like the FAMAS,Galil,SPAS and AK74U,but that's fine.Don't know much about the so-called security issues everyone seems to be talking about in these older CODS,but I haven't noticed a damn thing so if you wanna hop on and experience this awesome multiplayer once again,you're sure to find a match no problem.
