1- Weapon balance is pretty good at launch, you just need to get better at the game, some people have been playing Cod forever and will give you no chance no matter the weapon.
* I don't do bad in this game 9/10 games. I get first or second no matter the game type or regular or hardcore. The LMGs are garbage, one sniper rules them all for quick scope, and the SMGs trump the rifles at rifle ranges with attachments. And yes, there is the BAR. One shotgun of course is only worth a crap, and only 1 pistol too. So no weapon balance is not good. All SMGs work, and then the rest is pitted with 1 standout weapon to try to hold a candle to the rest. Maybe you need to stop throwing out the "get gewd" card and look at what you are actually playing.
2- Map rotation is definitely flawed.
*Part of it is low map count at launch, but it isn't so low that I get stuck with the same map 3 in a row even though I vote for different ones and don't leave lobby. Super weird.
3- No in game bugs check your game, maybe it's broken.
*Yup MY game is broken. Just because you don't get weird issues doesn't mean they don't exist. It's not like I got a gypsy fucking bootleg PS4 disc. I've changed for example my soldier and appearance, saved it, and it not register it so that im forced to do it again.
4- Some lag in some games no doubt, sometimes shots don't register and sway needs fixing.
*It can get really bad. I've had someone be my entire screen because we run into each other chest level, pull the trigger on the one shot sniper, and it not register the bullet at all.
5- Black Ops 3 had Dedicated Servers I played on them all the time, not seeing them here tbh not sure why, terrible decision.
*Maybe they are saving it for ranked only? I hope so.
6- Game has flaws but it's great, Cod formula is still fun and my favorite fps to play online after Halo.
*Formula may be the wrong word. More like treating its userbase with some respect to step it up and not step down just because hands shift from team to team. Dedicated servers should be a must. Beta's should be taken seriously and implemented. Long loading screens, not working features, and more are a slap in the face. I've played every CoD game since 3, and this one feels like the biggest shit show for a launch.
It's pretty easy which makes it annoying because snipers can melt a whole team without needing much skill, I never use Sniper got one from the ground and killed 7 people without sweat, definitely should be harder to snip like in Black Ops 3
*I'm cheeks at sniping in most CoD, and that's fine, but this game? Shit it's one of my go to loadouts. I mean there is no other choice on Gustav and the Naval ship map. Both of which are some of the worst maps to ever grace a CoD game. You can spawn trap so hard on the ship, and Gustav eliminates a lot of the weapons to not be viable. Great looking maps both, but based off of how weapons and spawns work someone didn't think it all the way through on how the maps would play out.
