Yes it is my opinion but its also a shared opinion of alot of people. Giving people shotguns and machine pistols gives them to mush fire power, the game becomes a hell of alot harder when you only have a pistol as a back up and that it return falls back to skill as its a whole lot harder to kill someone with a pistol than it is with a shotgun or machine pistol. And as far as soldiers go this is a video game so that does not work here.
Peep this article... COD is my shit but if they start with this bullshit i think ima be done with the franchise and move on to something else!
If the videogame industry is going to rebound from its decline in software sales, publishers will need to look at monetizing online multiplayer, said Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter in his latest investor report.
Pachter believes one of the main reasons software sales for PS3 and Xbox 360 are down year-over-year is due to gamers continuing to log substantial hours into a handful of online games and not picking up new titles regularly.
"We estimate that a total of 12 million consumers are playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 for an average of 10 hours per week on the two platforms' respective networks, and the continued enjoyment of this game (along with an estimated 6 million Halo online players, 3 million EA Sports players, and 5 million players playing other games, such as Battlefield, Red Dead Redemption, Left 4 Dead and Grand Theft Auto) has sucked the available time away from what otherwise would be spent playing newly purchased games," he said.
Pachter also noted that Activision needs to make the first move with multiplayer charges, and expects we could see something with Call of Duty: Black Ops, set for release this November.
"We think that it is incumbent upon Activision, with the most popular multiplayer game, to take the first step to address monetization of multiplayer," said Pachter. "It is too early to tell whether that will be a monthly subscription, tournament entry fees, microtransaction fees, or a combination of all three, but we expect to see the company take some action by year-end, when Call of Duty Black Ops launches."
Pachter says he expects the publisher will apply a World of Warcraft-like business model to its Call of Duty franchise. Activision will likely continue to offer some form a free multiplayer for awhile, he says, but notes that it's imperative the company capitalizes on the estimated 4 billion hours of time spent online since the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.
"We are quick to point out that the average single player game has an expected play time of under 30 hours, suggesting that a staggering 133 million units of equivalent game play have been spent (so far) playing Call of Duty online, with Activision only seeing revenues from the original 20 million units sold, plus an estimated 8 million map packs sold," he added.
Activision hasn't been shy in the past about its intentions for some of its key franchises. The publisher has said several times it's looking at new online business models for Call of Duty and Guitar Hero.
In a recent interview, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick also made his displeasure known over closed online networks such as Xbox Live.
"We've heard that 60 per cent of [Microsoft's] subscribers are principally on Live because of Call of Duty," said Kotick. "We don't really participate financially in that income stream. We would really like to be able to provide much more value to those millions of players playing on Live, but it's not our network."

I will never play a fee to play ANY game online. Treyarch and activision ( greedy ass fucks ) will shoot themselves in the foot if they pull this shit.
The other down side to something like that is for people like me who rarely play video games and only purchase one maybe 2 games a year. I enjoy FPS games but thats about it, so because I only play one game and I dont purchase any other games I to have to pay a monthly fee, get the fuck outta here...

I have a question for everyone on here.
How do you feel about Juggernaut returning in BO?
This perk has always been labeled a noob perk which is something that I never understood. Everyone runs around with SP like its normal to use it, but as soon as you used its counter perk you were a noob, like there mad when they cant kill you faster and you kill them instead.
I hope they do bring it back and I will use the shit outta this perk just to piss everyone off.
Jug + Shotgun = Rape at close range

It isn't like the Deathstreaks make any difference really, especially when people who are already good are made even better with Killstreaks.
How many Killstreak options are there, like 15? Compared to what, four Deathstreak options?
I suck at MW2, and the Deathstreaks don't help me one single bit.
Copycat is fucking worthless. If i suck at using my own layout, how the fuck will I be good using a layout with which I'm not at all familiar?
Painkiller lasts like ten seconds. That's only good for the many times you respawn in someone's fucking airstrike.
Martyrdom is the only one that's even remotely useful, but you have to be killed (yet again) in order to use it.
I haven't unlocked Last Stand (or Final Stand) so I can't comment on that one.

I don't have as much of a problem with stoping power..I think some of the guns would be worthless without it ie. Famas, ACR, M4...With or without it you don't really have shit for health in COD compared to some other shooters so it doesn't make a huge difference, to me at least..The only reason i think that juggernaut could even pass with shotguns is you gotta get your hands dirty and be upclose and personal..I played mw1 yesterday and kept runnin into a sniper who had juggerfag! Like WTF, are you serious!
