For PS4, all the new maps are in normal rotation now. IT was kind of nice to get to play some of these without having to play other game modes that I don't like or don't want to play.

 

Also, the Ripper is the new Famas. Everyone seems to be running around with it and I get absolutely destroyed by it every gun fight, whether it's on SMG or Assault. Yet, when I pick it up off the ground, it seems to take forever for me to kill someone with it. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this???

 

Finally, since this patch, it seems like I'm having a difficult time killing anyone with any weapons. The game also seems to have a slight lag that I hadn't noticed before. Again, anyone else notice this?

I played it last night...well I say played I couldn't kill anyone after 3 games me and my mate gave up, it was pointless.

I see why there are so few people playing ghosts now!

I played BO2 the other night with Mazzer and Gary and Ryan jumped in with us for a while. I found it quite fast paced and enjoyable
