Random thoughts after a few more days.

I'm still not sure about this game. There's a number of deal breakers for me. But I now see hope for its future at least.
What's with the love for Freight, and Stormfront? If either of those maps is up, every lobby I'm in overwhelmingly votes for it. Even over much better maps, IMO. Stormfront is too damned big, and everyone just finds their favorite perch and sits waiting for someone to walk/spawn into view. Freight has about eleventybillion hiding/headglitching/camping spots and half the lobby or more doesn't move more than 20 feet the entire match. Wait... nevermind. I just answered my own question. /facepalm
I had my first match where I led the lobby. Yay? I went a whopping - wait for it - 16 and 5. In a match where we won 48-34. Ugh. Hardcore camping is no fun. When will these weenies learn that? So... not so great an accomplishment after all.
I've decided that for the sake of fun and sanity, I do. not. care. about my won/loss, or average kills stat. If it's a hinky lobby, I'm out. Full stop. What defines hinky to me? If 3 or more of the opposing team are seemingly way ahead of me in connection, or if 4/5s of the lobby is just campity camp camping it out, it's not worth my time nor aggravation. So yeah, I'm lobby hopping and bitching out of matches a lot. Sue me. I'd rather go 5-35 in a lobby where people aren't afraid of their shadow, and my shots count than even an average game in a horrible lobby or match. If I'm in a party, I wouldn't leave, of course. But that's not an issue for me right now.
Thanks to Hiphop for his SMG tip. It's so fun, it probably deserves to be taken away. lol
I SUCK with sniper rifles. I'm just absolutely horrible with them. In CoD4, I was decent with them. But not having used them since, it's pretty painful how bad I am.
I've determined that only about 20-25% of my deaths are legitimately my fault, or the result of a player who's just clearly better. The rest are from the game being so kind as to spawn someone where I just was - grrrrrr... Or successfully smoking out a camper, but not his 2 butt buddies camping it out in the same room (ok, maybe my fault there, but it shouldn't happen), or going on a 4-5 death streak from terrible spawns (seriously? Why do I spawn into death traps and never get the good spawns with some poor guy walking away from me?) or just having a piss poor connection...
Everyone should know the joy of flanking an enemy, unloading into him from behind, and your gun going tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-hit marker-hit marker-hit marker-hit marker-hit marker-hit marker... enemy turns around and tat-tat-dead. Or seeing an enemy in full sprint going east to west, shooting, and... you die? Kill cam shows him turn, see you, pull up, aim, fire. But he was STILL SPRINTING when you died... and not even facing you! Or turning a corner, see enemy, die instantly. Kill cam shows he saw you for a long time before even firing. Or my all time favorite, check sight line, nobody there, dead. Oh someone WAS there. Standing in the open. He came out, saw you, aimed and fired. But he was never there on your screen.
Maybe it's a result of my play time. I play so late at night, I probably get wide area lobbies. but I sure can tell when I have the good connection. I can almost do no wrong then.
Fix the spawns. Bring back mercenary. Do something to help with the shoddy connections (dedicated servers?) and this game might actually be good.
One simple proposal:
Can we make it so in KC, you don't get credit for the kill (including towards your kill streaks) if your tag isn't picked up? So sick of kill farmers, campers and snipers abusing that game mode.
Oh, and a public service announcement to PS4 players:
STOP DEEP THROATING YOUR MIC! Better yet, get a better mic. And for the love of all that's holy, stop playing music over it, or singing, or carrying on with your room full of bros, or blasting your damned TV into it so we all get to hear 5 seconds ago. I swear, it's like the early days of 360 all over again. I'd like to not have to mute everyone. But you leave me no other choice.

Nothing has changed. Crap game still sounds like a crap game. $65 and sanity saved. Thanks for feedback

Had a game on that snow map yesterday while playing solo.
Like you, I topped the lobby with a whopping 16 kills. My team mates went 4-16, 3-8, 3-3, 3-2, 2-5....or some sht like that. Game times out with both teams just barely hitting half the necessary 75 kills.
My team: holed up in the houses.
Their Team: Holed up in the cave and caverns.
What was the weapon of choice? The new douche tool: The infrared sight. On everything.
ADS, scan the map from inside a shrub, look for glowing subject, shoot.
Freight? Same thing. Spawn, go up stairs, hang out window. Repeat.

I actually love the snow map - when people are not trying to play hide and seek at least. It's fun. But if it becomes a camp fest, yeah. BORING.Kaz--Money wrote:

Infrared does seem to be a douche tool. I'll give snipers a pass for using it. But everyone else? almost without fail, they're corner hunching, or hiding in grass, or a bush, or with the tippy top of their head out a window. Hard scoped, staring at a single sight line. Lame. (Then they have the balls to yell "BS!" when you kill them with a knife. smh)
But the biggest douche tool is tracker sight. Now, I use the tracker on an smg now. I'll let you figure that out. But I don't use the sight itself. When I see people running with it flipped up, they're the same tools who used target finder in BO2.
Freight. Ugh. I HATE that map. They should call it "Fright." Because everyone is too chicken to move. Tremor is almost as bad, but I at least see a bit more moving around on it.
God help you if you get Siege or Stormfront. Still as campy, but now on a HUGE map. And yet, you'll still get death spawns. WTF?
