..in WW2 there were only automatic weapons like the Thompson with the Fire rate increase perk, PPsh with the same perk, .30cal mgs with the same perk and Nazi MGs. I thought that most of the war was fought with M1 Garands, Mauser Kar98s, Mosin Nagants and Arisakas. Or am i wrong?
I thought the modern era MP5s and P90s were bad, but this is just worse. What were the devs thinking when they made this game? why even bother adding bolt action rifles? No body uses them. Today i've joined 5 servers each full of people, and only me and some other guy (who was incredibly good with the Springfield) were playing with bolt action rifles. Everybody else were running, jumping and spraying their Tommies and 30 cals. This is ridiculous. I'm not saying they shouldn't use the machine guns, but its just using the bolt rifles is much more fun to play with and would like to see more people using them. I remember in COD2 where almost everybody used kar 98s and mosin nagants. It was fun, a lot of fun. Now its just, join a server, grab a thomson and run around...

and i did not get owned, me and this guy came first and second with springfields.

Protip: Go play COD2 rifle servers...

I'm still waiting for the "real" 4th in the COD series

COD = 1
COD2 = 2
COD4 = 3
COD? = 4

Infinity ward ftw

Other than that 4 was just as bad as 5.

Infinity ward was ftw.

I reinstalled CoD2 a few days ago, I love that game.

imho COD4 > COD2

COD was nothing before the arrival of Hardcore gamemodes compared to after

CoD 1 > CoD 2 > others

Hardcore came with choppers, perks, and all the other shit that made cod4 awful.

Meh Perks are a good way of prolonging the multiplayer..
I play on a server where the choppers have been modded out, but tbh they were no biggie if the team you played with didn't consist mostly of idiots and 8year olds, since they can be shot down with less than one mag. from a LMG (there is allways 10-25% of a team camping in a corner with such weapon anyway >.>)

One thing that pisses me off immensly with COD2 is the grenade rain, It is not as bad in COD4 but it is still too much imo...

Can't you do a fair amount of damage with the bolt actions and then switch to side-arm and finish off?  Otherwise, the bolt action rifles weren't meant for CQC anyways.

I don't know why everyone praises up Call of Duty 2 sooo much. It's infinitely better than CoD4/CoD5, but I remember even when CoD2 came out the original vCoD people were whining that it was too noobish: lesser recoil, guns felt easier to use, maps weren't as good etc. The series has been in perpetual decline ever since the day it came out- the original ownage of vCoD Carentan/Brecourt/Harbor/Neuville etc. Plus, don't you remember how vast some of the original Call of Duty 1 maps were? Amazing, like the outdoor snow and field leves - hell, even Pavlov - where anyone with a half decent rifle ability could pin down spraynub suckers a long time before they got close.

If the community hadn't moved on and the game-graphics aged so badly, I would still be playing Call of Duty 1 now. Excellent game for league-play in every respect, as well as the hundreds of hours I spent in public servers practicing with my rifle . Makes me all nostalgic!

SD, yeah, cod2 has a serious problem with that.

But nades are so much more of a problem in CoD4, Sonic boom, 3x frag, martyrdom...

M1 is one of my favorite guns. I would rather scope that than any of the bolts. I think one of the problems is just about every server is HC mode so if you can't spray you better be a damn good shot.
