EDIT: This thread was in the case that all weapon files are encrypted and we won't have access to them Okay, first actual topic I've started on the forums, so... You are my bro, bro! Anyway, I just wanted to know who here is planning on bro-testing for Black Ops II stats from release day. I'll use the term 'guides' loosely, but from the first week or two I plan on making weapon guides, map guides, etc and stats are going to be essential. I did have a few friends who were going to help me, but now they're not getting it on release day If there are any bro's who can help with stat-testing, regardless of console (although I'll be on Xbox) then that would be awesome!

I'm on the Youtubes alright. With my amazing 412 sub-count and ~40 views per video I've wanted to make guides since forever though, since I find all of this stuff super interesting www.youtube.com/tyzerra369 if you wanted to know.

The only guide that you need if you understand the statistics is a chart or a spreadsheet, if you are one of the advanced guys. But then again I suppose we are a small amount of people, just a few thousands in the millions that play this dumb rock of a game.

If weapon stats are encrypted, then count me in. Oh and,
driffft000r, this is when you and your subs would be very helpful.

Assuming he is stalking this particular thread, I suppose in-game tests in open lobbies could be very helpful indeed. I recall Marvel, or somebody saying they can get at the code practically at release if it's not encrypted, but I don't know how that comes into creating a stad database.

In-game testing most probably won't be necessary.
Only MW2 and MW3 have encrypted weapon stats: every other Call of Duty stores the weapon stats in a readily accessible format. In fact, we already have some leaked stats from BO2.
We may have to manually test patches, however.

Don't worry, bros: we will know exactly how much the new shotguns suck.

I wanna know which AR I should abuse at the start when everyone else is running around with bad weapons trying stuff out ;D Pretty much this. I do all my experimenting when I'm comfortable with the maps and game mechanics. Right when the game comes out, though, I just want to know who da bess.

I understand this doesn't really qualify as "testing," but since psijaka doesn't seem to be very interested in CoD anymore, I can promise to produce recoil plots the moment we have the ViewKick and GunKick numbers.

I feel like I understand stats well enough that I could figure out the best gun before I play the game :u Same here. These past 4 months on the forums have completely changed the way I look at COD for the better. Stat-junkies ftw!

of course we know which guns are the best. Did you not hear the commentators' raving ksg reviews?

They probably switched the KSGs' damage profile with the R-870s' by accident. Don't worry, I'm sure they'll fix that. :L

It will be pretty easy to determine which gun will be the best right away if you just notice the past trends for "overused" or "OP" guns:
COD4 - M16 aka the laserbeam
COD5 - exception to the trend, WW2 guns were pretty bad I guess, MP40 was a beast tho
COD6 - ACR/M16/UMP
COD7 - the famaug
COD8 - ACR/MP7
The trend being the best guns are always the ones that are the most accurate and have the highest RPM.

Maybe your sub count is so low because you're not going to enough videos from big YouTubers and writing: "I'm new to YouTube and I post amazing gameplays and MOABs daily, if you check me out I'd be very happy. In 2 weeks, I will give away a prize, all you have to do is subscribe, then like, comment and favourite every one of my videos."

I need to go onto every channel I can find and spam ads for my channel! That'll make me super popular!

^This.
IMO, there were no OP guns in MW2. Everything had a niche.

What will an ACR not do versus other assaults, what does the UMP45 not do in mw2? With that said, there's always a best weapon, it's always the one that has the best combination of handling and fire rate.

You guys think 30-20 dmg is OP?? Srsly? And a 666 RPM SMG? The UMP would get its ass handed to it by every other SMG in CQC, and the Vector and most ARs at range. Its niche was coldblooded and silenced, and the ACRs was extreme long range, but IMO neither were OP.
