Is it possible it is the lack of perks? I am unsure of how the system works but it could just be imbalanced due to the proximity of the games release date.
This is a very valid point. Developers know the maps extremely well and play very differently than everyone else, so it takes them a while to observe others playing to find the changes that are needed.
Kolossal - I agree with you that the hit damage has increased or the health decreased, I feel like I die so fast, also I tend to see a consistant lag across all games I have played... I have a super internet connection with LOW LOW ping, so it isn't me. I will regularly run into someone and pump them with bullets to get hit by like one of theirs and think it's complete bull. But when I watch the kill-cam, they filled me with bullets.???? Idk ????
Getting shot from behind is a death sentence now, even with high sensitivity on. But with sensitivity high, you do have a much better chance. I try to bob behind cover as fast as possible and then turn around.
What do you mean by the maps being very linear? I don't feel that way at all. In fact, I like ACRs, M-16s, Scar, etc. and I feel like a lot of the maps don't have enough open spaces to use them. That is unless you are a camper and sit in those spots... but I never could sit still.
