I agree the shotguns are over powered in categories ie akimbo'd rangers and models, the spas-12 range is insane.. the 1014 (which is the one i mainly use) insanely powerful with a very fast RoF. I do like the perks and attachements of each weapon. I mostly play TDM or HC-TDM so the party chat issue hasnt bothered me. Specs Ops was a very good replacement for Nazi Zombies, but I think NZ should be re-vamped and brought up to par with the modern theme i think that would add a twist especially if the longer you play it the more adaptive the Zombies would become to your style of play, i.e- if you have a tendancy to guard a door and blast them as they come through, they learn to throw flashbangs, semtex, frags, what have you... just my .02, campaign really enjoyed it. All in all really enjoy the game as a whole.
