Hello everyone,
Please listen carefully to what I have to say, I hope that TREYARCH gets this message and changes this, because they are about to make a mistake. Look, let me start by saying that Call of Duty is Call of Duty. It is not some battlefield crap, and it's not medal of honor. Those games cannot and never have been able to compete with CoD. This isn't just luck of the draw. There are reasons. Gameplay reasons. Call of Duty reaches a level of flexibility and realism that those games don't, especially in multiplayer. We like these games because they mimic real life and yes I know they are games and not real life, but it is only because of how close they come that we enjoy them. I just watched a video on XBOX live and a guy stated that shotguns are going to take a primary weapon slot. This is gay, ridiculous, and just downright unrealistic and stupid. That's what Battlefield and Medal of Honor do. They make you have a "shotgunner class". I know everyone complains about shotguns, obviously they aren't skilled enough to defend against them, but just because people aren't good enough to handle them, doesn't mean they aren't what they are. In real life, shotguns are hard to deal with. How do you think soldiers in real life handle them? Well, they do. In real life you could carry whatever weapons you wanted. Hell, you could carry two AR's if you really wanted to. And in real life, shotguns shoot the same distance, even if you carry two of them at once. It's amazing I know. It baffles physicists all over the world. How could a gun shoot the same distance if there are two of them? Duuuur? Anyways, forgive my sarcasm. When you move through a level, you have a primary weapon. It deals with distance targets. Suppose I have an M4A1 as my primary. I come up to a building, and boom, I switch to my shotgun because it is a SECONDARY WEAPON! I clear the building with the shotgun because thats what it is there for. Having a shotgun as a primary makes you incapable of dealing with distance. Shotguns are close range weapons. And my play style is a solo-move behind enemy lines-go away from my team kind of style. You may say, well another person in your team can deal with that. Well as a gamer who is providing TREYARCH's income when I buy their game I want flexibility; I want to be able to play the way I could in MW2 and also could in real life. That's one of the reasons I play CoD and not Medal of Honor. If TREYARCH starts messing with everything that is good about call of duty, why won't I just play Medal of Honor? Heck, I already own it. There are ways Call of Duty could be improved. But it is about as tedious as disarming a bomb. If you change the wrong thing, the whole thing can go down. Black Ops could be the best installment of CoD yet. It could also be the worst. The bottom line is, Shotguns are not primary weapons, and if you have to sacrifice a REAL primary weapon in order to carry a shotgun, that is ridiculous, unrealistic, and shotguns will rarely be used. Maybe that's the point? I would hope TREYARCH would strive for realism. Atleast make a perk, achievement or something that allows you to carry a shotgun as a secondary or carry two primaries or whatever. But to make shotguns a primary is a mistake!!!! I very much hope that this message finds it way to someone with some kind of ability to do something about this. Please guys, i'm gambling for support here. Give it to me.
Thank you all for your time listening to this, and I apologize if I seem angry, but I like shotguns and TREYARCH is about to ruin them. Some things just need to be left alone. What do they say? 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'?
