Black Ops 2, my dad liked that one. And it has a 2011 Honda Accord as one of the background cars

I often hear drug addicts say that they're always chasing their first high and that's what I feel like I'm doing when playing the newer Call of Duty games. Modern Warfare was incredible as it played like the video game interpretation of the incredible Ridley Scott film Black Hawk Down. Each subsequent COD game may be good but I don't think any of them will ever match the thrill I got when I played MW for the very first time.

I don't know about you but when I snipe (Outpost, Mission, sometimes fallen and Terminal) it takes about two minutes before everyone and their mother is after me, usually trying to stop a MOAB in the making. Anyone who thinks that it more difficult than run and gun is delusional.

It's harder to aim quickly and track ammo while running by many shooters.
Not really. It takes better reflexes, but that's about it.

I maintain roughly the same KD between sniping and run and gun.

While the game trippled in price. $40 to $120 too. COD4 was a great game in so many ways, the biggest one for me being the badass servers and free DLC. None of your ranking BS that came from console gaming to be such a huge part of a game.

I hear this a lot, as if the "reflexes" you are referring to isn't some sort of skill. It's visuospatial intelligence and it's measured on professional IQ tests (ones I'm actually trained on administering). It's also skill to react quicker and maneuver your environment to maximize kill to death ratio. With sniping in a corner, you have lead time so if you have poorer visuospatial skills, you can get a better ratio without having to do the work, essentially.

Think of it this way: in a water balloon war, who has more athletic ability? The guy who runs at someone, dodging and weaving anything that may be thrown, to throw the water balloon at the other person closer up, or the one dropping a water balloon from the roof of a building.

That's right. You're the one that whines when he gets his shirt wet and goes up to the roof when everyone else is on the ground having fun.

We all hated that kid. And snipers are the video game equivalent.
