How is that even possible with how broken it is on PS3?

@Sninja13
Because it's not broken on the PS3. Modern Warfare is the one that's broke.

They're not the top 3 starting weapons.
Without a shadow of doubt, the top two are the AK74u and Famas.

@Camel Carcass Those two are the most used, but you do not get them at level 1, so they are not starting weapons.

I miss the days of CoD4.
Just thought I'd throw that in there.

Now if only I could understand the Black Ops leaderboards...

I'm surprised that many people were even able to kill others with melee attacks, considering Black Ops neutered knife kills and claymore power/accuracy.
Every death must come from a stupid gun, and since all guns are equally powerful now (and all have terrible recoil) I'm shocked that many people even managed to kill one another...on second thought, I shouldn't be shocked since BO players' Kill:Death ratios are super high compared to MW2's. (In other words, everyone's a winner in BO - just shoot near an enemy and they die!)

Is it just me or is the radius for knifing...different than from COD4?
Nowadays in knife to knife matches, my timing's been consistently off, and thus, 45 people have knifed me whereas I've only knifed maybe 12.

Oh, it's very different...from even MW2! In MW2, melee attacks were the way to go in cramped buildings/corridors...in BO, Treyarch made it a point to make them far less accurate because I don't think they like them.
Same goes with claymores. They are virtually pointless because only if a person is going very slow nearby will they explode and cause enough damage to kill them.
TL;DR - You're f'd in cramped areas.

LOVE Black Ops! Thank you Activision. Thank you Bobby Kotick. They really can't do any wrong in my eyes - their games are always awesome. Always so successful. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-05-06/activision-says-first-quarter-profit-doubles-on-call-of-duty-warcraft-.html
