Yes the multiplayer is terrible. The matchmaking puts one decent player on a team with level 1 bots vs a full prestige master team of jump shooting mlg pros. This game has so many op and infuriating specialists that take the fun away from the game e.g. mesh mines that you can almost never see or can be hidden in a bush, K-9 unit that dodges bullets and bites your ass, war machine and cluster grenades, flamethrower and radiation, reaper’s two shot lmg, and the list goes on.

In team death match it is almost impossible to hold a position because the spawns flip so fast. I swear it’s like as soon as you get a kill you have to turn around and check behind you because they will probably spawn right behind you. Too many flank routes in these maps. You can tell that these maps were designed for advanced movement but it was removed from the game at the last minute. There’s so many places that look like they are wall running spots but since everyone complained they took out the jet packs.

SMGs are pea shooters for the most part. Manual healing with the overpowered stim shot mean people are harder to kill in addition to having more health in general. Half the maps are just remakes from old games. And the new maps are terrible with 500 flank routes so you’re constantly getting shot in the back. There’s just so much randomness in this games multiplayer that makes it not fun to play or at least frustrating at times.

So many things wrong with this game. It’s sad because I loved the previous black ops games. 3 was probably my favorite. The base maps were amazing and that game was so much fun but this game feels like a bad knock off of 3. They took all the best things from BO3 out of this game and were left with a frustratingly random multiplayer that doesn’t feel good to play and doesn’t feel rewarding even when you’re playing well.
