Here is the reason I am not going to pick up this game for the first bit at least.
As you probably know if you ever seen me in a CoD thread, you know I play MP competitively and to test my skill and see where I place against other people who play.
But when the leaderboards are hacked and the a lot of the ones who didn't hack their stats used glitches and cheats you really can't measure yourself properly.
So I guess you play for a good K/D ratio or Win/Loss record (yeah, there might be 3-4 people out there who try for this) Blitz or someone will quote this message saying I am flipping out when I am only stating the reasons I do not wish to purchase it. A large argument will ensue telling me to not buy and how the person never sees any cheating at all.
The problem with this is, if I wanted to put my K/D over 5.0 at the start, it would only be as simple as starting a domination game and spamming a capture point for kills by camping and killing anymore who comes along or at least that was the way in MW2.
About the only real measure is Win/Loss ratio and K/D ratio together but the problem with that is, you can still be a wretched player who plays on good teams and look good because of it.
So with no real concrete measure of how good you are at the game, really I would only be playing it to pass the time as the end goal of hitting the end of prestige is not much of a goal but an indication of how much time you spent playing (Or in most cases, where you found the hack)
I love playing online with people, it is fun but I really do not see the point in spending $70 on a game which given past history will be broken and full of cheating and glitches given that its Activision.
