It's the most fun I've had with CoD in nearly a decade

DEM GUNS (SCAR-H gang report in)
DEM KILLSTREAKS (I see you Chopper Gunner, Pave Low, and Harrier Strike)
DEM MAPS (a little campy but I still love the layouts)

Can't wait for the level cap increase next week so I can try out the M1911 again

No but Chopper Gunner is

The level cap now is 10 but there are plans to increase it when Xbox/PC get the beta

a little campy

Understatement of the year. The game is slow as fuck.

- no minimap
- slow ADS/sprintout times
- fast time-to-kill
- weapon mounting
- Claymores and Proximity Mines both in the game and replenishable

Defensive players have far too many advantages and aggressive players are punished far too heavily. It feels slow, boring, and just not fun. It's like CoD Ghosts all over again.

I used to go ape shit in Ghosts with the Tactical Knife and a silenced pistol. Earned many a Loki with just this. Got hate mail like no other.

That actually sounds amazing

CoD has been way too fast for years

There's such a thing as too fast, like BO4 and the advanced movement games, but there's also such a thing as too slow, like Ghosts and (if it stays like it is now) Modern Warfare. The last games that felt just right, where defensive and aggressive playstyles both felt fun and viable, were MW3 and BO2.

Also WW2, but it took like six months of updates to get it in that state. It launched in the "too slow" category.

I do agree deployables should not be replenishable, but then again they were in Modern Warfare 2 and nobody minded

Weapon mounting is glorious, LMGS actually have purpose now lol

Mini map I agree is a bummer, but since there's already a killstreak to give you a minimap IDK if adding it back would do anything. Ghosts had a minimap IIRC and that didn't stop campers now did it

I think the biggest issue for me is the TTK. I love how short it is....but an MP5 shouldn't be killing as fast as an AK at mid-range

It was an absolute unit in CoD 4, but the TTK is as low as MW2 and it's almost too good at all ranges, so why use ARs/LMGS

Shotguns are 50/50 too; incredible range and damage but the pump action one is way too slow to actually 2-shot someone

Trust me, a lot of people minded. Everyone who wasn't a braindead OMA-DC-noobtube-camping fuckwit hated that shit. If it weren't for Ghosts being as boring as it was, MW2 would be my absolute least favorite game in the series.

I remember not liking the pump in the original but still ran around with it to get the attachments unlocked

I completely disagree. I despised MW2, and BO1 removed or fixed so many of the things that made MW2 awful that it saved my enjoyment of the franchise. CoD4 (and its remaster) was solid, but to me, the era of BO1/MW3/BO2 is the pinnacle of the franchise.

Im loving it. Enjoying it more than any CoD since MW3. I guess Ive been lucky as Ive seen very little camping. Movement mechanics and guns feel great and I dont miss the mini-map. Im not finding it difficult to figure out the flow without it.

So apparently they're gonna turn on the minimap this weekend as a test, but it won't show enemy dots unless you have a personal radar/UAV on

I feel like that's a decent compromise

red dots showing exactly where gunfire came from is stupid

I'm fine with that compromise too. Let's see how it plays that way.

Im having a lot of fun. The speed feels perfect to me for it being so tactical. Slower than BO4 but faster than CoD4. People act like this is the slowest CoD ever. No way. CoD4 was much slower but still was faster than CoD Ghosts.

They added the minimap with the compromise we were talking about earlier, plus the level cap is now 20 so we have access to more perks and stuff. The game feels a lot better than it did yesterday, and I've had more fun and better success rushing. So that's good news.

The FR 556 (AKA the FAMAS from MW2) is confirmed to be in the game. I don't think the M16 is in anywhere, unless you can use the gunsmith to turn the M4A1 into it.

Im a level 2 against a team full of level 20 players. It was so bad that the enemy team were in our spawns camping us out. I did really well the first match. After that, it was nothing but camping. Super annoying.

You apparently can change the ammo type of some weapons in the game

So the SCAR-H can become a SCAR-L when you change to 5.56 ammo

There's also an AK-74 as a default loadout gun, converted from an AK-47

This game is so much fun

I knew pre-ordering an hour after the announcement was a good idea lol

How does Ghost work in this? Does it have that stupid timer like in the past 4 or 5 games where if you stay still for more than 3 seconds then you will be spotted by UAV?

Cos if its back to old school ghost them my perk line is gonna be Cold Blooded, Ghost and Battle Hardened

Looks normal as far as I can tell

I'm just glad there's no Marathon/Lightweight/Commando shenanigans, if I wanted every gunfight to be a twitch draw I'd play Black Ops 4
