Imo MW1 is a 9.5, MW2 and MW3 are about the same at around a 9

Black ops is a 8.

I dont know why they dont just go back to there roots and make a simple multiplayer like cod4. I understand a lot of the kids out there want the crazy uneeded things but i think that just takes away from the balance and throws the whole game off. Im sure also they would loose some sales if they take out the "cool" stuff but cod4 sold very well without it. Uncharted 2 did a great job i think of making a multi like cod4.

Uncharted 2 fighting system copied so much from COD its hilarious. That is why its so much fun!

I think casual gamers like the silly stuff, people really liked the RC car in Black ops multi player and the perks like Ghost and Second Chance.

Black Ops, you had a strong assault rifle with warlord, Ghost Pro and Second Life, and even if you sucked you got tons of kills.

To me its like this MW3 is how MW2 should have been from a connection and balance persective but with really shitty maps.

BO has those great maps with bad lag and connection problems (even worse these days with i am sure it loosing servers for mw3). 

lol Black ops multiplayer was slow and laggy and cheap but had great maps, MW3 is way more balanced but the maps are not good.

Thanks for saying its a great idea i thought i wouldnt get any interest when i posted it, glad the opposite has happened. 

One thing i am curious about is the hit detection and lag better? Or is it that you drop faster (less health IMO) and it is hiding a lot of the problems that the others in the series had. Because when i played it still had some lag and the same stuff from the other games was present like lag, super strong host that wouldnt die, bullets curving around corners. Since there is less health to me now a spray fire will drop you. Its tough trade off if so. 

Also why the fuck is there still not dedicated servers? They cant complain about money problems and i think it would make the games a hell of a lot better.

It looks, plays and feels a lot like MW2. If you played MW2 a lot there are no surprises in it. I can't really find any comparisons to Black Ops with it. 

Compared to Black Ops the hit detection and lag are 1,000,000x better. Sniping is amazing in the game because of the aim assist + great hit detection + how quick you scope in. There's definitely way less being killed around corners like in Black Ops. 

And yes I've definitely noticed recently that I drop fast a lot. Like I'll go around a corner and see an enemy, so I try to quickly go back behind the wall but I'm dead in an instant. It happens quite a bit. 

And I'm not really convinced dedicated servers are the 2nd coming of Jesus like everyone thinks. Just look at Battlefield 3, a couple of the maps (Tehran Highway and I can't think of other one off hand) are unplayable due to lag. I don't know if that's due to the servers or shotty development but either way its not like Battlefield 3 never lags. 

Im not saying they are the best but i think that its been said quite a lot that they are much better than p2p. And since Cod makes so much money its silly to think that they are not using the best type of servers. This would absolutely fix the over powered host problem though. Bf3 i have had the same things go on but on the whole i would say its not happen nearly as much (I do get in jets a crap ton though). Also bf3's lag i would chalk up to larger map and 24 player count compared to 18 people on COD.

Yea there is no strafing when you get hit anymore you are almost assured to be dead. I cant really say its a million times better the hit detection either ive still been killed from bullets in the short time i have played from around corners and that were not on me and done the same to others. Sniping i cant comment on i dont do that. Black ops i did notice was alright at launch but as it went on it progressively got worse so we'll see how this one does.

Disagree with all of what you said except for 2 things.

Firstly yes maps are somewhat disappointing, especially considering all the great maps we had in COD4 and MW2. I personally much prefer smaller maps as it leads inevitably to more action, but they just simply put too many buildings, tables, chairs, railings, etc, etc that leads to too many hiding places, and it becomes impossible to check every corner. Perfect examples of this are Carbon and Seatown where there's just too much clutter in the maps. On the other hand there are some decent ones like Dome and Resistance, also a few others as well. I think they got the map sizes right, just should have kept them a bit more open.

Second are the killstreaks, where the stacking is back. This was one thing that Black Ops got absolutely right, and now they decide its a good idea to let one ks stack kills to get to another. This leads to hundreds of killstreaks in the air one after another. I really hope they patch this or something, or it could get as bad as MW2 in terms of ks spamming, or even worse with all the new killstreaks.

Bar the above 2 problems, the game is extremely fun, and I am enjoying it more than I'm agonizing over the problems. The ARs and sub-machine guns are 2 classes I use and both are great in this game. Sound and graphics are pretty good too, they made improvements in those aspects where improvements were necessary. So yea, overall great game, just needed some adjustments.
