Well so far im around 0.83 kdr, which isnt too shabby considering im a complete tool. The game is the exact same as the U version in the respect that there is loadsa lag, numerous host migrations, and I find playing HC easier as the people actually die when I shoot them. As with the U the core modes are riddled with QS , and TFs, which is frustrating - I seem to have little spurts of doing well, ie 5-6 kills, but in the main its kill,die,kill,die, and im now at the stage where im usually getting a 1 kdr in most games.
The biggest difference is clearly the playing numbers and its great to see the HC modes packed with players, last night there was around 2000 playing HC domination, about 3000 playing HC KC, and even 1800 playing HC SnD, so seeing as im sticking to HC thats great.
I think the comment I made about the skill gap being smaller on the U, ie not as many bad players - smaller gap between the good and bad players, is backed up by the fact that ive been reading leaderboards on blops 2 now for 18 months, and the scores/rates/kdrs of some of these xbox players is simply awful. Ive seen maybe 2 players in TDM with over a 2kdr, and about 5 with over 200 spm, with the vast majority lower than 1. I know theres great players out there, like there is on every version, but theres a far greater number of complete useless players on the xbox - Im a 1.07 kdr player and I cant aim ffs! Im amazed to see myself ranked 3-4 on most leaderboards pre game, with a 1.07 kdr and 198 spm, and I absolutely suck! I mean I honestly feel most of my kills are lucky, aim assisted, and I feel very clumsy. Full respect to the guys who can master these controls, but I can also see how a decent player can get 40 kills a game as seriously the bad players are REALLY bad. Taking my U profile scores in every mode I played on there, id be top of EVERY lobby ive played so far on kdr and spm on the xbox, and I know for sure that there`s far better players than me on the U.
An irritating thing for me, they seem to vote in Nuketown and Hijack all the time, I tried searching a TDM last night and got 7 diff Nuketown lobbies 1 after the other. Felt my 1st experience of humiliation last night too, HC dom on Nuketown, think I went 15-46! TBH the guy who died the fewest times died about 30 times, its just carnage, but he got like 75 kills, lol
All in all ive a lot to learn yet but its promising
