Steady aim has ALWAYS been "hur dur I don't need to aim down sight except at sniping distance"
I've always thought it was a spray and pray perk that allows you to do the pray part a liiiittttlllee bit less. I look down on the perk, and it's Pro is the only real reason to use it.
The exact reason I hated Stopping Power (where the pro was... meh. NOBODY used it for the pro... face it), Commando (NO FALLING DAMAGE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE), 100% the reason why I used Lightweight (Faster ADS from sprint? YESPLZ), etc.
Sitrep was a pain in the *** to get pro.... and the pro was useless. Footsteps are already loud as **** with my turtle beach, louder only screwed me over. When I switched to sitrep I did everything in my power to NOT destroy things....because I didn't want pro...
/as you can tell there are quite a few things I see as "scrubby". Not because they are good/broken, but simply because - to me - it lowers the amount of skill needed over your opponent. You can have WORSE AIM than your opponent, but still win when they had FIRST SHOT just because you have stopping power and they didn't. Or your commando travels through their bullets and you knife them - a kill you would not have gotten without commando.
While Last Stand is ****ing annoying, I see nothing scrubby about it. It's just ****ing annoying. However, it's obvious when you fall into it and I should keep lighting you up like the 4th of July. Ninja? I should watch my back a little bit more. Same with Ghost - I shouldn't rely on that map (seeing as I play hardcore... I never really do anyways). Sitrep? I should stop camping or stop using claymores/TI's. (One reason why I use C4 like grenades is because of sitrep/hacker).
I LOVE B/Ops because, IMO, even the "nooby" perks that are left [steady aim and scout] at least has a legit use when they are pro that people would.. actually use it for - more often than the original purpose of the perk.
Soooo glad they removed danger close, scavenger replenishing equipment, stopping power, commando, etc. Seems the only people that complain* about B/Ops are those who only did good by abusing degenerate perks.
*Outside of all of the server issues (especially on PS3), and other minor issues/changes. Like the quickscoping and such.
