you'd think that such an untapped period in time could have produced a unique video game with a whole new look to the face of a new COD game...but instead there are only a HANDFUL of weapons in the game...less than 30% I'd say that are actually chronologically accuate....
The G11 in Hong Kong in 1968? When the project wasn't initiated until the mid 1980's and produced in LIMITED NUMBERS FOR TRIALS AND FIELD TESTING 1989-1990... British Commandos, Russians and Germans all fighting in the arctic circle on a "black op" when almost every country in WW2 was scraping the bottom of the barrel at some point for men and materiel....bullsh*t. A Winchester M1887 on a pair of 40's harley motorcycles just sitting in a garage, fueled up and ready to go at a siberian work camp....not to mention the 1887's fire two rounds between recocking the weapon with that gay T2 spin that only the Governator can pull off and look cool...(oh and add the bottomless magazine and questionable accuracy) The butchered M14...how do you even manage that? You have to actually google the obscure "support weapon" variant of the M14 to even find something remotely close to that eff up pistol grip version...
Every gun in that game is underpowered, given too high of a rate of fire and lack the essential details that make each weapon believeable. The ability to add emblems and clan tags and all sorts of DUMB SH*T to a weapon....an "ACOG" that isn't...and instead is a pathetic copy of the Colt Sporter carrying handle scope for an AR-15 platform just grafted onto a clamp for a picatinny rail that shouldn't exist on a military weapon for another 40 years....(or that you can see the crosshair in the rear lens when simply holding the weapon)
the galil ARM's carrying handle is on the wrong side, the M16 shoots bursts, red dots and reflexes are reversed and anachronistic....tomahawks, crossbows, "DEATH MACHINES" and all this BS just ruins the game from square one.....its TERRIBLE hands down.
oh and my personal favorite...the Dragunov has an AK style reciever cover, a centered PSO-1, no rear sight, an incorrect and bland looking foregrip and no flash hider. amazing. Treyarch...just.....no.
You'd be surprised what you can hit when you aim.
GHK all the way.
