I really don’t have a problem with the thermal scope but i do think that snipers with ACOG sites on should not be 1 hit kill assault rifles (M21+Acog).

Now the damn “Witch class” Aka Marathon, Lightweight, commando pro, and any pistol(usually the Rafica since its a Famas but in the shape of a pistol) w/ a tactical knife and a silenced UMP is just no fair. You run like the damn flash, you throw 6 jabs with the knife before the opponent throws his second, you run though bullets that are hitting you and still knife them, the other person could knife 2 seconds before you and you still have priority,and you quickly clear a room since your too damn fast to see and by the time they notice you their already boned.I thank god they at least fixed the care package boost so they no longer run faster than the speed of light. Also to comment on what the author said you cant even use the riot shield because if they jump up in front of you they can hit you which is ridiculous. since they are technically being slammed with a bulletproof glass shield i think they are supposed to be knocked back a little when you hit them with it instead of just being a turtle in it’s shell waiting for the bird to crack your shell open or find an opening in it.

The dedicated servers in a way don’t affect me but it also does. The dedicated servers don’t affect me since i also play on the console versions, the no dedicated does affect me because the people that are pissed about not having a dedicated server get annoyed and try to make their own. Which causes them to figure out glitches in the game which leads to what I call the “glitch of the week” because ever since the game came out there has been some stupid glitch being exploited. The first glitch being the auto 10th prestige then the javelin, the care package sprint, the super rigged Dual Model 1887’s, the Unlimited ammo and Big team games on Rust, infinite care package/emergency airdrop glitch, now you have the FAL shooting like an ACR, the new “Global Thermonuclear War” gametype I’m not sure what they do in it but I get enough random invites to know its something dumb, and The elevator glitch which lets you get on top of places such as the mountains on Derail that are out of the map, the top of the building next to the Target A bomb site on Karachi and other places. If you gave them their damn dedicated servers most people would have been doing all this crap on those instead of on the actual ranked servers.

The Party chat thing is dumb but I don’t think much of it compared to everything else.

Now that I provided more recent info on the authors letter. I will throw in a few more BS things that happen within the game.
Some of the stupid things that just annoy me about the community in general is how some of the guns are completely unbalanced. Also I don’t understand why they give you the best weapons in the game as the starting classes. The UMP and Famas alone are now used by 95% of the community. Also i recently watched a show on The military channel which proved that the Intervention sniper rifle is the strongest sniper in the world. So if IW is being realistic with the game why are we working hard to unlock guns that in real life are crap but for some reason in the game they are so good?, remember how everyone used the M16 in MW its basically the same thing with the Famas. They didn’t fix the M16 they just added new rigged starting weapons to make us think they fixed it.

Now whoever thought of dual wielding, like whoever put tripping in SSBB should be slapped upside the head. The fact that the P90 was broken in MW they should have nerfed them a little but, instead of making SMG’s a little less broken they weaken them but, you could hold 2 of them?? Dual pistols was ok but the fact that dual wielding improves your accuracy while shooting pistols and pistols can still kill you in 3 hits alone dual wielding them makes a little more unbalanced. Dual Shotguns is fucking retarded. Everyone remembers the Model 1887 fiasco well they fixed that “seemingly”. What they should have done is take away the ability to dual shotguns since in retrospect the reload time for 2 shotguns would be way to long and not just a flick of the damn wrist. Also the Model 1887’s were made in 1887 shouldn’t they take like 5 minutes to reload since you’d have to start putting gun powder and all that other shit in the gun to get it ready to fire. Now that the Models were sort of nerfed people are realizing the other shotguns are rigged too. The default shotgun (would you look at that) the Spas-12 and M410 (or whatever the name is) are actually more powerful the farther you are from a person. I shoot people a foot away with it and I don’t kill them. Im leaving the green room in the hallway on Skidrow and I get killed by a guy who just walked in from the alleyway entrance which I’m sure happened to other people who play online not just me. the AA-12 aka the Parkinson’s gun is overpowered since its an automatic shotgun in which all you do is run in a room and start clicking the trigger as though you have Parkinson’s.

The Spawns. The spawns in my opinion are pretty bad since it has no regard for the situation your teammates are in. Most of us have spawned and were quickly killed by a noob tube that wasn’t intended for us or spawned to quickly be killed by a guy that ran into the spawn point.

There are more current problems with the game but I have to say that the overall community (Xbox 360) has just went down hill. Whenever I play a game I notice that most of the other players quickly equip their danger close noob tube class and blast away. Also one of the comments was why don’t we counter the campers the reason is we really can’t. I get killed by a camper in the library on Terminal I see where he is but they are using a gun like the Famas which is a 1 hit kill and since he’s in a corner that’s too thick for FMJ to go through you have to try hitting him with grenades since if you walk in you get hit by one of his claymores as well as noob tubes. So by the time your team finally does kill him they have a Harrier strike ready. But yeah the main thing is everyone just seems to be exploiting all the dumb tricks and glitches meanwhile the people who don’t and think all this glitch and “witch class” crap is annoying BS are getting the shit kicked out of them by these guys and we have to put up with it since we don’t want to stoop to the 12 year old kids level. I believe I have most likely gotten my point across. The game when it came out was fun but as time went on and more stupid glitches and unfair advantages are starting to be exploited I’m really agitated (as by how much i typed) and i am hoping that IW fixes these things with new patches as well as new maps and i would really like if they brought back the old maps with new additions to them. If anyone has anything to say feel free to comment.

HOWEVER, if you haven’t tried it, get a mate (or anyone up to 4 people), have every one of them kitted out with this and a throwing knife, set up a private match and away you go, this is one of the highlights to this game for me…You have to try it. Make sure no-one shoots and make sure killcams are on, for those moments that someone throws a knife at you, you pick it up and nail them in the head with it – the level of satisfaction is off the scale!

Also, I disagree, not with the majority of ur points as I agree with them, but with the fact that opinions of the game change when u play it. I don’t have this problem with any other game although I do with this. I loved it at first and then got tired of the slow lobby system and it spawning me it front of enemies. I don’t think it will last very long apart from those gamers wanting to look cool in front of their mates sayin they still do play on it as it was the most critically aclaimed game of ever (apart from the Russia problems). I do hope it does as it’s a good game to have a fun throwing knife party on, especially in Rust, but I think it will.

Just drop us a mail or something and let us know?

Thanks!!
