I'm not saying it was perfect, but it had (overall) the best maps and the least frills. I ran around hip-firing a stopping power MP5 with steady aim and it was broken as hell, but at least it was fun. Newer games don't feel fun to me.

Ironically that's still a common strategy in the new Modern Warfare, at least before they nerfed the 10mm rounds

Call of Duty 4 was the peak of the series, and every new entry has just strayed further and further away from compelling game design. I bought the latest Modern Warfare and it was incredibly cool, both visually and in terms of audio design, but the actual game was a convoluted mess with bad map design.

Simple is better, 9/10 times.

No dead silence outside of a damn cooldown.

I'm glad this is a field upgrade because it would be considered an "essential" perk by just about everyone. How does do you like the idea of getting killed by someone who can run full sprint around the map, with no indication that they're there? Sounds pretty frustrating to me.

DepreceV2 posted...
Horrible maps that encouraged camping. (Devs damn near admitted this)

Better attempt than almost all of Black Ops 4's maps (even the DLC ones) being coverless, three lane grids that feeds the aforementioned SMG meta. There's no benefit in taking careful aim or holding down an area, so why not just run and gun them with the fastest firing guns in the game?

DepreceV2 posted...
Terrible mini map with a stupid compass.

Sounds like you're misjudging the compass's purpose. It's not a minimap substitute, but it's supposed to give you an idea of where the gunfire is coming from, something that's almost essential in Warzone.

DepreceV2 posted...
That Ice Pick thing wasn't an issue for me. High end score streaks took a lot more time to destroy. Plus, I can play around an Ice Pick anyway. You typically know when she had her ability and could call in streaks around that. You could do that or just kill her while she was trying to hack it. Higher end streaks took so much time it was more than possible. I would just kill her in my Gunship while she was attempting to hack it.

She's only exposed if you have Engineer equipped and it only takes a few seconds to nerf the biggest streaks in the game. She was so bad that competitive CoD communities had to agree to softban her until Treyarch finally stepped in and nerfed her earn time and hacking time. That's not something you do to a "non-issue" Specialist.

Treyarch might follow MW's direction of "free guns/maps and paid cosmetics", but something tells me those DLC guns are gonna be even more of a pain to earn than any gun in MW2019. They like people grinding in their game to boost the player count.

At any rate, hope you better understand my grievances with BO4. I'm actually downloading it again to try and go for the DLC guns but it's just an experiment for now.

Your first sentence is complete BS. I've been playing Overwatch for 4+ years and Call of Duty since CoD4. BO4 did NOT feel like Overwatch. Having a strong ability that charges over time doesn't make it like Overwatch at all. It's not even close.

Siege, MW2019 and even CoD Mobile have rechargeable abilities. The reason I don't think they're Overwatch with kill streaks is because the game isn't built around those abilities, whereas Specialists in BO4 can cancel out one another if you look hard enough (and Zero cancels out everyone)

DepreceV2 posted...


Killstreaks. I did have a problem with the score required for a UAV being high. I never understood that. It made some sense for objective modes but was poorly balanced for TDM. A simple fix was to increase the score gained in TDM per kill. No idea why they didn't change that.

They've been increasing the scorestreak cost since BO2, but it was at the worst its even been in BO4. Nobody bothered going for higher streaks because chances are the match would be almost over by the time the actually earned them. There was an "Arms Race TDM" mode with increased scoring and that was perfect IMO

DepreceV2 posted...


That specialist weapon thing was annoying but I didn't die to that often. A lot of them could be outplayed or avoided. They were annoying though. I'll give you that.

You could be playing as careful as you can and still die to Timmy No-Thumbs simply activating his Gravity Spikes around the corner. That type of game design doesn't feel rewarding IMO

Black Ops 3 was better about this because you HAD to choose between a specialist weapon or ability

DepreceV2 posted...
SMGs being meta? I guess? The vast majority of guns where competitive. SMGs might be the best but you could beat SMG users pretty easy in this game. I never thought I was losing gunfights in BO4 because they had an SMG and I didn't. There were more important factors than that. At least I got into straight up gunfights in BO4. MW is just people camping/head glitching lanes while not moving. How is it fun to move so little? I have much more fun running, killing people and randomly dying to some BS on a 4-5 minute cooldown than not being able to move at all. That is the main problem with MW. The game was designed to be noob friendly and completely discouraged movement. Terrible. Maps made that even worse.

You got into "straight up gunfights" because everyone had 150/200 health. I've had plenty of engaging Modern Warfare matches, did you only play around launch or something? People say MW is noob-friendly, but one of the games doesn't give you welfare weapons simply for existing in a match.

And SMGs were terrible. VMP was a supply drop SMG and it was easily the best in the game.

DepreceV2 posted...
Modern Warfare has a ton of issues. Not being able to see players.

How is wanting to reduce the amount of mini-map whoring an issue, especially when you can get a UAV so quickly anyway?

BO4 had some really good gameplay but had other issues. I don't see how people can say MW 2019 has better gameplay the BO4.

I don't get this either lol

It felt like Overwatch with killstreaks. Kill 5-6 people just for a single UAV. Get killed effortlessly by a welfare Specialist weapon that the player doesn't even have to play good to earn. Earn a high level scorestreak and watch it get destroyed instantly with someone holding down X on Ice Pick. Motherfucking busted Supply Drop guns. SMGs are the meta as usual. I got a few Prestiges in the game in the hopes that things will change but it simply wasn't very fun

This is why The Fast and Furious community is great. They understand that if shit started to make sense in the series then the series would never be as good as it is.

Look man, unless the fiction is made to dissect(like Coens movies), yall should just enjoy things for what it is.

Fast & Furious was always intended to be a low-focus action series whereas Star Wars is a space opera. That doesn't mean it can't be good, but not having a focus isn't a positive whatsoever lol, that some "consoom product" thinking
