The core of the gameplay is perfect in my opinion, just a plethora of stupid minor glitches that annoy me.
1. Spawning is probably my main issue. The concept of spawning you where most of your teammates are sounds good, but I am far too frequently thrown right in the path of someone else's bullets.
2. Sniping/ACOG is big too. I actually play the 360 version (though I'm planning on getting the PS3 version soon) and those issues haven't been patched yet, but it's beyond annoying to put upwards of four bullets, with or without stopping power, with a sniper or scoped assault rifle and have them take seemingly no damage. =/
3. The clipping thing. Having position over the enemy is a big part of the game and giving yourself away because the barrel of your gun magically sticks out through a wall is crap. I've killed countless people by shooting right where their weapon protrudes without actually actually seeing them.
4. I'm sure many will hate me, but I think stopping power is a bit overpowered. It's annoying to shoot someone multiple times with an M4 and have them turn and kill me in one shot with a P90 just because they were using the perk and I wasn't.
5. Special grenade consistency. I'll often throw stuns and, even more, flahbangs, and somehow enemies won't be blinded at all even though the grenade goes off practically at their feet. I get even more annoyed when I throw it into an open space with enemies, take cover, and I'm blinded completely but them not at all. Kind of kills the usefulness.
6. Grenade spamming. On maps like Vacant, all it takes is the 3x frags and just cook and throw them into halls and you're virutally guaranteed kills. I think this is more about how people play than how the game works.
7. Perks in general. For the most part the list is excellent, but some like Eavesdrop and Dead Silence I find totally useless. Getting rid of those and maybe adding new ones in the future would be great but not necessary.
Sorry for the wordiness, but I love this game!:P The best shooter I've ever played and most competitive console game to boot. I seem to differ from most people in that things like the "noob tube" and martyrdom. I'm most bothered by actual glitches and not particular gameplay aspects. If IW would just patch the scoped weapons I would be more than satisfied.
