It does seem that this game is very difficult to do consistently well because of the focus on gun play.
Bigger maps, players more spaced out, very hard to get Multi-feeds. Makes for an overall more slow experience. By nerfing some of the streaks, really puts an emphasis on gun skill along with map awareness. To many who are used to Black Ops, this is probably a huge shock as suddenly what they have been accustomed to doing no longer works in this game. The thing is, there is a pretty big learning curve in Ghosts, its not possible to pick up, play and expect to do well right off the bat because the game forces players to slow things down.
But given all these factors, to those that stuck with it, and I'm sure most of you guys posting in this thread have found out that this is actually a very balanced game that doesn't favor a particular playstyle. Good rushers will still do well provided they learn the maps and players who predominately camp can still do their thing.
The game still has its annoyances, but other than MW2, I don't think I've played a Call of Duty game as much as this one.
