Think its been said hc saved blops2 I remember trying to play search with kyle hitting people point blank with an an94 and not getting a kill, so far with ghosts I'm getting beat it seems not by connection but by the fact the other person has a stronger gun which is how it should be, I haven't even considered hc yet.
However I loved blops 2, but I'm glad this is different.
I am missing a few things, simple weapon stats for example, also So far not too keen on operations over challenges but my opinion may change on that.
