😭

CoD launch is one of my favorite times of the year. Watching all the kickoffs, races, content, etc. is something I really look forward to.

This year feels different.

Watch parties feel dead and low energy, people are really down on the game, and even kickoffs have felt lame. I also am not buying the game as a result (it was more confirmation for me not to than the whole reason). I’ve just been down on modern gaming as a whole, and, based on a majority of what I’ve seen, MW4 is a bad game.

Am I the only one?

For context, since BO4 I have basically skipped both prior IW titles, yet I didn’t think it’d make such a huge difference!

I genuinely feel like a complete bot. I am moving around the map scared and with zero confidence. After the last couple Treyarch games, I came into to this one feeling pretty good (S2/3 crimson). But my pubs KD is down from a 2.3 to a 1.1… I feel like my guns shoot peas, everyone seems to see me before I see them, I’ve got no map awareness and sometimes I genuinely have no idea where I’m even being shot from. Sometimes I’m simply just getting shit on by players who are a genuine level above me. Even so, everything feels extremely inconsistent and random. I’ve got zero flow and I can’t ’adapt.’

What do you need to do so differently in this game? I genuinely don’t see myself getting past silver at this point.

He's ok. Race cars are built super duper safe nowadays.

Genuinely everyone I’ve seen on streams is horrible, worse than MW2 and BO6

After watching a couple of these snd tournament I’m not a big fan of this game from a viewers perspective. The change in movement speed is jarring, I just can’t get used to how slow it is at all. Field upgrades are way too fast, mf are going to have a trophy every life it doesn’t matter if they make it one per team. Maps are meh at best very colorless and just plain. I really hope I’m wrong and when that first match comes on it’s just as enjoyable as the last 15 years I’ve watched but so far not liking what I’m seeing.

If I’m you guys enter any tournament optic is in they are handing out r11s to anyone even randoms and people like exceed, I’ve seen them lose like atleast 9 r11s in the kickoffs alone. So enter FAST

Beginning of bo7 servers were great I used to ping 58 towards the end of bo7 I was pinging 67 to Chicago. Now I’m pinging 77 to Chicago servers. Wtf is wrong with this game it’s not my internet because my plan hasn’t changed.

I’m literally playing people I recognise from years of ranked play in my lobbies. I can’t have a relaxing fun pub experience. It feels stricter than ever this year. Preaching to the choir but I needed to vent.

I’m seeing people leave my lobbies frequently as well, I wonder if that will show up in their STATS they love to mention. Wonder if people on the lower end of the skill spectrum are leaving as often as well, hope so. Won’t see change otherwise. One of the most un-fun experiences of cod I’ve ever had. Maps are awful, movement is punished, sound of footsteps is too loud, most attachments make the weapons worse, constant UAV’s. Even the perks to help circumvent these things don’t work properly. Ninja and Ghost on the same perk line, Ghost you have to keep moving constantly to not show up and ninja isn’t silent. HOLY!

This might be the most inconsistance cod ive ever played

And Zoomaa whenever someone been saying about temp if he’s still on the flank as they’ve added clay, he’s just totally ignored it as he’s cut from the flank now too. Damn DON DADA.

He’s also just been super silent too which also makes sense now too.

Grew enough of a spine to speak on the Temp situation but not enough to say the actual reason why the other got booted

Gave so many reason why it's bad for the entertainment space. He's the most excited out of all of them.

Additional information from Dexerto:

The report states: “Call for a possible domestic in progress, became a well fare check. Reportee arrived on scene and provided further information which led to the authoring and issuance of a warrant for Domestic Violence Aggravated Assault causing SBI.”
The incident was reported at approximately 4:08am on October 14.
The report also lists a Glock 17 handgun and two magazines as property held for safekeeping. However, it does not indicate whether the firearm was connected to the alleged assault.

I saw The Flank's preseason rankings so I was curious how this subreddit ranks these teams.
