re: First time I've seen them release the new Call of Duty DLC at midnight

You have two PC trolls that havent touched BLOPS II in months. I wouldnt take anything from Stout or Bruce seriously.

The maps are overall solid. This is a domination mode opinion.

Grind is a blast. My favorite of the 4. Fairly symmetrical with flanking routes but not too many to piss you off when you have map dominance. B flag on DOMI is a toss up. The way it should be. Quick reflexes are a must

Downhill is meh. Big which all these "snipers" bitch about wanting. But not an open cane field which I guess would make them happy happy. Lots of useless space behind the flags but thats typical. B is a bit frustrating because of the window. Nice to look at. short on the mid range firefights.

Hydro is impressive. The flood is cool and the map design is very balanced. Nice looking. Fast paced.shocker. sniping isnt easy. lots of corners to camp but lots of cover too.

Miirage is as solid a map as any launch map. Gorgeous. Very balanced. Loads of areas to run if flanking or getting out of a trap. Lots of overlooks. Tons of fun.

Peacekeeper weapon is amazing. almost OP but thats a given since all SMG's are OP in this game it seems. I run silencer only and thats all i need. Gun is rapesauce.

DLC grade from someone who plays 10hrs a week. B+. Most maps "suck" when I first play them because I dont know where shite is. I cant get a feel for my "spot" as quick as I do on maps ive played for 3-4 months. But I have my areas down now and do very......very well. Give them a weeks playtime and they grow on you.
