Old School is just that, no perks, no load outs. All weapons and perks are picked up in the map, so everyone starts on the same page.
Oldcore is pretty much the same as Old School, except the Hardcore gameplay is added, no HUD, 1-2 shot kills, etc.
Cage Match is basically Old School but 1 v 1.
Snipers do seem much more tame than they were in the Beta. It was much easier to land a hit then, now it does seem like wind or lag or SOMETHING is affecting the accuracy. I know that when i get sniped, half of the time the kill cam shows them leading me by a bit and down i go, with the crosshairs nowhere near my face.
The Automatic Sniper is the only one i have had much luck with and well... that just feels kinda cheap. Lately i have been using the Overkill Perk and taking a Sniper as a secondary weapon just for a headshot here and there. G36c with the Acog is a lot of fun as well.
It is just a lot of fun to try to perfect every weapon. The M60E4 with the ACOG is just... crazy fun. Bandolier + Stopping Power + ACOG = crazy long distance death machine. Of course, with the light machine guns ... my accuracy has dropped a bit but it is nice to be able to take down a chopper with less than one clip with that thing.
Anyone know what exactly the Humiliation Challenge: Airborne is? Description says "Get a 2 kill streak with bullets in the air." So i assumed that it meant while you were in the air? If so, guess i need to start jumping when i am using my shotgun behind a group of unaware enemies =P
