As expected, I got officially raped for most of the night last night.
When I wasn't in a party, it sucked.
When I was, it was still fun.
YMMV

Are there any balance issues that you've seen thus far? Is it that you are getting hammered by perks and weapons that you haven't unlocked yet?

I think 80% of it is not knowing the maps. Most of the people owning me were either before I saw them or before I could get an honest shot it. If we went toe-to-toe, it was generally split and if I saw them first I got the kill. I also played with a few friends who are hardcode COD players and people of similar level as them (15-18) were working them over at times. I don't think it was balance or level issues, mostly about knowing where to go and which direction to look. FWIW, my kill:death ratio was dramatically different depending on what map we played.

Good point. In any of the FPS's you have a huge advantage if you see the opponent first. In the CoD games it is magnified because it so easy to get killed. It's pretty rare for you to survive if your opponent sees you before you see him and he has decent aim.
