Joanna Lumley loves her Walther P38!
One of today's linked YouTube vids is an extensive wishlist of desired multiplayer improvements for Treyarch's upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops. About one third of the way through the vid, the director, BlameTruth, seems to go off on a bitching tangent about how killstreaks are a crutch for weak players, and on and on.
I guess that the killstreaks, like any feature in a complicated game, have some issues. But, to me, it seems like BlameTruth uses the possible balance issues in MW2's multiplayer as a club with which to pummel lesser players. He has a particular axe to grind against grenade launchers, weapons with "no recoil" or "no idle sway", Martyrdom, Last Stand, and Death Streaks. And he really hates that the Care Package drop can give a lesser skilled player a powerful killstreak bonus item. Really? Those are the biggest problems in Call of Duty?
What's interesting is that he asserts that most players dislike and don't want these items in the game. What's that based on? Is there a poll? I agree with a lot of his points, but I think he comes off pretty douchey at the conclusion of the vid. End of line.
