Lol there were so many problems with this game js. Also "Players with Black Hat PDA can no longer hack a Care Package faster than the owner can capture it." That sucks, lol i loved stealing peoples care packages. K 9 units, swarms, VTOL Warships, and Emp Systems. Man I stole anything I could get my hands on. Guess Im done trolling for now. Just kidding time to go knife in gun game. :D

They still haven't fix the xp hack on BO 2 yet wow.

I never thought I'd say it, but the developers need to be a little less involved with their game. Their "fixing" some things that just aren't broken. I think it's because they themselves are gamers and naturally have their own opinions about what should and should not be in the game.
