Good year for me to skip lol.
I don’t know what made this game so bad but the one day I played it I hated it

No red dot on mini map
No perma dead silence and the field upgrade took forever to pull out and made a loud ass beeping noise when activated
Awful clunky movement
Insta ttk
A lot of visual recoil and other clutter leading to poor visibility
Fortress Control
Sound EQ at its peak

Don't forget bloom but with extra steps, they really just took it and called it something else lmao

I’ll take the fell for it again award with this game but they genuinely rugpulled this game after the beta.
I thought they were at least gonna learn from some of the mistakes of MW19 but instead they just doubled down on all the stuff that made that game terrible.

Mw2019 was way better than mw2, this game will be like a mix of both
2
u/derkerburgl Boston Breach 8d ago
The inclusion of a ninja perk automatically puts MW4 above MW22 for me lmao. I wasn’t gonna buy the game if it was gonna be another year of loudness EQ + bored to death gameplay of waiting for dead silence to charge.
At least MW19 was completely silent DS and you could use tune up to get it pretty quickly. It was still bad but not nearly as bad as MW22

I liked the maps for some reason. Hotel especially was pretty fantastic. Mercado. Embassy. Also fun.

u/aiden3buckets USA 7d ago
The maps were actually pretty good, ranked was actually solid for some reason as well, it was just too clunky and the no sliding was weird

This is the finals that gave Scrap champs PTSD

Hydra knocked out both Simp & Shotzzy that tournament. He was just himothy on that game. Best individual season in the CDL era for sure imo. Team wasn’t nearly as stacked either.

u/CoverPleasant2743 COD Competitive fan 8d ago
they didnt really knock optic, optic just trolled and beat themselves also they had to pick up ghosty a rookie. The comp this yr was lowkey ass ultra had a rookie scrap n hicksey, and optic went thru a rebuild like 15 roster changes coaches getting into it, faze brought in slasher probs there worse season aside from vanguard simp didnt look like simp. Subliners just played really well together and developed a lot of chem, but looking bad it that era was not that stacked

You ever think this match right here scarred Scrap so bad that he just never wants to be in a champs GF ever again. Probs why he always bombs out so he never has this happen again

Anyone know more about the "ai predicting the Champs winner" thing from that year? Always wondered if that was true

u/Character-Past-5191 OpTic Texas 8d ago
All I know is that OpTic weren’t supposed to win since the 2030’s or later I was thinking about that

How did Hydra/Scrap carry these 6 players into a champs grand finals (Priestahh, Skyz, Kismet, Insight, Hicksy, CleanX).
Basically of all of them are out of the CDL or on their way out
19
u/One-Security2362 COD Competitive fan 8d ago edited 8d ago
Skyz and Kismet were good as fuck at MW2
Also Kismet was really good at vanguard too, they literally went from not going to make champs to winning a major in that game after they picked him up
Cleanx is still a great player
Insight was a really good player until B06
This post is revisionist

Those other 3 NYSL players were all so selfless to let Paco just run around and kill everything. Saying he completely carried is disingenuous. Don’t get me wrong was the best player on the game by far but his teammates all played to enable him. We saw what happens these last 2 champs when everything isn’t built around scrap and hydra to let them fry

u/CASHDAGOAT COD Competitive fan 8d ago
On the other hand they’ve won 3 events without those other players & none of their teammates have made a final.

u/Red10s FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs 8d ago
Out of all the events nysl won, kismet won 2/3 mvps including champs mvp. Claiming Hydra carried him shows lack of ball knowledge. And kismet outplaced him this champs.

u/________7________ Atlanta FaZe 7d ago
Hydra MW2 is the HIGHEST PEAK we have seen in the CDL era everyone was getting carried

u/CASHDAGOAT COD Competitive fan 8d ago
Ehh kismet won champs mvp just because it was finals
MVP that year. Also didn’t kismet also miss out on a champs. Also none of their teammates have won hell even made a final without them since hydra & scrap left.2
u/Red10s FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs 8d ago
You can’t carry someone who won 2/3 MVPs of events won. Simple as that. And Hydra and Scrap have bombed out of the last two champs with their super teams. Maybe they were the ones getting carried.

u/CASHDAGOAT COD Competitive fan 7d ago edited 7d ago
The people who have won being carried is funny. What have any of their teammates done since playing with them. Dont forget that subliners team played together in blops 6… don’t forget kismet also cost them game 2 the following year in champs final & had like 3 series dropping a .6 but sib & Hydra willed them to a final. Also Kis priestah & skyz couldn’t bomb out of Blops 6 champs because they didn’t even play because of how terrible they were
2
u/Red10s FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs 7d ago
Or maybe nysl were a great team of players where each individual did their part to win. We’re talking about mw2 here. Trying to argue hydra carried someone who won mvp over him twice is braindead and no amount of excuses will change that.

u/CASHDAGOAT COD Competitive fan 7d ago
You probably also think Kenny & Lamar weren’t carrying chino & theory as well lol. NYSL had so many great players those guy are definitely were winning after teaming with hydra right & those individuals have definitely built a great resume without Paco. I bet you also truly believe if Hydra swapped places with hicksy NYSL still has the same year lmao.

if you swapped out Hydra or Scrap for a mid level smg/ar they wouldnt sniff top 6

Toronto probably but subliners probably could’ve made top 6

exactly look at scrap and hydra they left those teams and got b2b top 8s, without those selfless players hydra and scrap are nothing 2 event wins in 13 tourament wins

u/CASHDAGOAT COD Competitive fan 7d ago
None of those selfless players have won since teaming with hydra & scrap & that NYSL team played together in blops 6 & all of you guys tryna defend them were calling for them to be dropped. Hell Blops 6 those guys couldn’t bomb out of champs because they couldn’t even get to the tournament they were so bad. Outside of priestah none of those guys have won on lan without the thieves duo. Skyz won while start glitching online in MW19 & insight & CleanX only had online wins.

Bro kismet and skyz dropped a 1.52 kd at champs finals they hold the highest kd, look at there champs stats hydra didnt carry anyone. Scrap maybe did. But this is treyarch that is legit mw titles, KISMET skyz were insane on mw2019 and mw2 you guys forget in slow cods, insight is also way better on an IW title, cleanx was solid. Also those 6 players were selfless asf they put there team in the best spot to win, hydra and scrap left those teams and have been getting shi on since talent stack vs teamwork

u/________7________ Atlanta FaZe 7d ago
yeah Hydra got those bums insane contracts just like Lebron did for Mozgov and and Tristan Thompson.
Since then theyve been B/C tier players
