What are your thoughts on Treyarch's handling of BO2 so far?

For me, I think that they've made correct actions, but Vahn has just bundled it. Accusing someone of attention seeking when reporting a hack, the "Cheers" comment, etc... It just seems taunting to me, like they're asking for some hate to come their way.

On what they've actually done, I'm 50-50. Some things, such as raising the score requirement of UAVs, I think were excellent moves. What I have a major issue with is their way of forcing good players into a competitive atmosphere on every single playlist. My K/D is just above 1.15, and SPM just above 300, but I spend a huge amount of time going knife only or playing passive aggression with friends (winning a Dom match with 0 kills). However, playing to do well, my SPM is 450 and my KD is closer to 2. What I hate is that it is impossible for me to relax in any game mode because of how aggressive the matchmaking is in skill bases. The worst lobby I've been in for a while had every player with a +350 SPM - which is great - and an average of a 1.94 KD across the board. I have run into perhaps one non-prestige below level 55 over the last 50 or so lobbies I've been in. What I hate is that now every single lobby has all players running Ghost with a silenced SMG tac inserting outside of spawn points. In MW3, if I wanted to relax and destroy some kids, I could run into Kill Confirmed or FFA and do work and drop out of Dom. But now I don't have this option. League play was invented for this, pubs should be left to those who want to play casually, and the fact that SBM is this aggressive makes me feel as though Treyarch are forcing certain ideals onto me too aggressively, and are punishing me for doing well.

Rant over. What are your thoughts on the community support thus far?
