Blitz spawn trap KEM strikes ain't impressive.  

You're fish in a barrel, there's zero chance whatsoever of getting out of spawn, people are spawning on top of enemies who are just holding down the trigger.  There was one dude on the other team in this particular game that was on a 130 kill streak, just waiting for people to spawn into his sights.
I don't even play blitz, and this pisses me off.  The same shit would happen in CTF without a respawn timer.  Even so, spawns would flip occasionally in CTF if you pushed up far enough, in blitz, spawns are locked in, they do not flip period.  This is bad business, and I don't know what the hell IW was thinking with that.
 

Here's a fun FFA spawn.









Now, with the way FFA works, spawns have always been a little crazy.  There's only so many spawn points and so many players on a given map, and they're all out to kill each other.  Really the best way to play FFA is to hold an area down between a couple-three different spawn points and patrol between those points, picking people up as they spawn in.



But that spawn above, that's just uncalled for.  No reason whatsoever to spawn someone there on top of a guy who's sitting in the corner.



Spawns are why I quit playing Ghosts for the most part.  I don't mind getting outplayed, but there's nothing I can do to stop from getting shit on by a bad spawn.  And all the stupid micro DLC bullshit that they're pumping out, while not addressing a flaw that just breaks the game in half, moreso than OMA/DC noob tubes, sleight of hand pro/quickdraw snipers, commando, dual mag MP40, pre-patch Blops 2 PDW, death streaks, etc, ever did.



I wasn't having fun, I was getting frustrated, so I stopped playing it.  Best decision I've made in a long time.

I wouldn't go that far.  COD is an easy game, but if you're good at it and possess some skills, it's even easier.



Sure - it's really not that hard to do well in a COD game.  
Zero recoil laser beam assault rifles that can make someone dead from
clear across the map in like five or six shots tops, radar/UAV, kill
streaks, it's not that hard to play for a bit, figuring things out and
do somewhat decent.



Now there are a handful of things that the
really good players do that separate them from the bad players and the
average ones.  Map knowledge, being able to read the mini map well,
understanding sound and how it relates to where the enemy is,
understanding spawns (both that of your team and the other team), basic
aiming ability, etc.  I think I'm better than average player, but I die a
lot because at times my aim goes into the toilet and I dump 50 rounds
everywhere except where I'm aiming.



I'm not kidding myself either, while I am above average I think, I know most of the really good games I've had were playing against a team of potatoes with no thumbs and no clue, and/or playing with a team of other Arfcommers who are mic'ed up and communicating.



Connectivity plays a huge
role in just how well you do in this game.  Simple fact of the matter,
if your shots are registering on target before the other guy's shots do,
you're going to have an easier time of doing well.  I play a 4G hotspot
with a ~150 m/s ping - what I see on my screen at times is nothing like
what I see in my kill cam as I'm getting shot to death.



It's a
rather stupid blanket statement to say "COD takes no skill, it's a
twitch shooter, whoever reacts first wins," sure reaction matters, but there are some things, both player skill related and not, at work that separate the average and below from
the killers.  



 

 

I dunno.  If I had a PVR, I'd probably stick around and record the game for the sheer hilarity, then take every opportunity I could get to tweet the video to everyone at Activision and Infinity Ward.



Sure they don't give a shit, but it would make me feel better.
