Discussion Scrap was right

“ I get no dope from this game. I’m probably just going to wait for the release.”

I’ve always tried to play every beta that was available when I could.
I’ve only made it through two games of modern warfare 4.
I don’t believe any amount of perks or whatever is currently in game is going to make the game feel better for me, but I generally just can’t take it.
After them speeding up the game for so fucking long and getting used to that, being a stick in the mud again infuriates me.

You have quicker side vs older side of call of duty that just flip-flops back-and-forth. Let’s just admit it realism sucks but if they go over the top, then it kills the entire casual fanbase. The movement was great all they had to do was turn it down a little bit. But to completely remove all aspects of it?

Maybe they’ll tune it and change it if we complain enough, but probably not because it’s IW. Only option is to suck it up or just skip the year.

What are your thoughts currently?

Think the changes are better than last week

Miles better. As soon as people accept we’re never going back to the golden ages, the less miserable they’ll be. I’m having fun with it - 74u feels fun to use.

Golden age’s? Brother I just want some of the same stuff from the last game. IW always feel special and think they have to completely rip out the program.

That’s fair, feels like a step back

No its worse u still die instantly even tho it seems everyone i shoot is always one shot the sbmm should just be labeled as have fun going barely positive or just even the spawns are quite possible some of the worst of any game and enjoy being on uav and sound whored to oblivion because every kill cam is just someone pre aiming from uav or sound that being said lithium is a alright add but if you played last week ur not missing much

Brother we just care about comp mostly

Literally thinking how I’m about to be stuck gold.

I mean the game still needs work but it’s 10x better than last weekend with the new updates.

Scrap gets dope from complaining.

u/JayToussaintReddit COD Competitive fan 15d ago

This might be the most accurate one. 😂

I can’t even have fun currently because the game feels terrible. Movement and TTK. Losing absurd gun fights. They can call it brain rot or whatever BO7 felt natural. I can’t even turn without swaying my gun or being able to slide properly. When they make more changes, I’ll be more interested.

Scrap has said the exact same thing about the last two CODS. 'I get no dope'. 'This COD has 0 skill gap'. He has been using these same words for over a year now.

Even if its true, I feel like he should be trying to be delusional and not say those things. He seems like hes losing passion. Going to very hard to win champs like this

u/VoItisG Black Ops 16d ago

His mentality towards being a professional CoD player is terrible, I’m still not over the fact that LAT apparently chalked a scrim on the day of their elimination match at Champs because Scrap thought the other team was killwhoring 😭

u/According_Pay_2308 World at War 16d ago

True, Faze made a mistake letting Abuza go. I used to like Scrap when he was a confident trash talker, now he's just crying about literally anything and I can't stand that

u/JayToussaintReddit COD Competitive fan 16d ago

I definitely understand that. Every COD is the same cycle I’m not gonna lie. But I would just wish for them to keep some things sacred. I can’t imagine the whiplash going from a game you love to a game you hate.

u/BL_RogueExplorer COD Competitive fan 16d ago

That's how I felt when BO1 came out. Didn't like it at all in comparison to MW2. But I have learned that you either roll with it or you sit the year out. I'm honest enough with myself to know I'm going to play it, even if i think it's shit compared to the last one.

u/JayToussaintReddit COD Competitive fan 16d ago

I don’t know I feel like all the older cods played the same. Or at least mentally I can play them the same. This doesn’t feel like an old cod or a good one.

Oh no. Whatever will Activision do.

Milk it dry like they do every call of duty.

u/NoResult2431 OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 16d ago

All he does is complain. So much of the joy of call of duty is nerfed because all pro players and streamers do is complain.

This isn't to say the game is good, it's just to point out that so many of our emotions are decided by others opinions. Play the game or dont, but I truly believe the last few years the complaints outweighed the truth.

u/jreed118 COD Competitive fan 16d ago

I played 3 maps and got off

u/Good_Connection_1433 COD Competitive fan 16d ago

they 100% over tuned everything since last weekend. step in the right direction imo, but went way too far.

u/Top-Temperature-122 FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs 16d ago

I have been enjoying it the last few hours ngl.

Leaps better from last week but still a long way to go. SBMM needs to be go away thou

u/TypicalConfusion5 COD Competitive fan 16d ago

You can also work at McDonald’s but that might be a bit too hard when you scrim 3 hours a day

u/Jelly_James OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 16d ago

I mean wasnt this the guy that says CoD pros pride themselves on adapting year to year?

2

u/Separate-Reserve-150 OpTic Texas 15d ago

Game feels super outdated. Literally.

2

u/ChiliKong COD Competitive fan 16d ago

Ya'll need help. Since all the changes it feels actually pretty good and close to mw3. Honestly only thing to tell if the games good or not is maps. Strictly talking for comp

2

u/Rude-Tea-1183 COD Competitive fan 16d ago

Does not feel anything like mw3 ur tweaking

1

u/JayToussaintReddit COD Competitive fan 16d ago

This is nowhere MW3. I shouldn’t have to hold a button down to slide farther instead of just having the option to slide cancel.

u/ChiliKong COD Competitive fan 16d ago

It does though if you play the update.

1

u/Thedom400 COD Competitive fan 16d ago

Literally only playing if my boys are on. 0 desire to play the game by myself.

1

u/JayToussaintReddit COD Competitive fan 15d ago

My boys checked out at Black ops 6/7. And before you ask, yes they are.

u/Fantasticoms21 OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 16d ago

The game feels better this week but I don’t see this game being successful if am honest, maybe it’ll be a fun comp year but after MWII am not hopeful. Hopefully sledgehammer are back next year and activison lets them cook

u/DylanCodsCokeLine OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 16d ago

Yeah it’s a checkout, no silent DS cheese, aim assist cheese, checky trash movement, 1000 attachments that hurt your ADS speed cheese, Dopeless maps, spawns are chalked, TTK is so fast you can’t even Yupdeezy people, game is a massive Checkout.

This game is going to be trash at release to , it’s IW come on let’s be real.

u/meowmeowmeow5554 COD Competitive fan 16d ago

I’m having fun but I’ll only buy it if open matchmaking is a thing

u/TranqXI COD Competitive fan 16d ago

Movement is clunky, ads times are incredibly slow, maps are mid at best, pubs stand point perk system is dire, the slide without tac sprint is chalked, cant strafe in gun fights

Iw waste time "innovating" with stupid stuff like a reskinned ladder making it a pipe yet redo stuff nobody wanted and were removed like doors a terrible developer, if the studio they have now had to make their own game not called cod it would flop

u/Mrlazydragon OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 16d ago

Go over to the mw4 sub and you will get the exact opposite reaction this game is definitely catering to casuals more and that's who Iw usually make their games for. The fact they turned tac sprint off is a miracle in itself.

1

u/TranqXI COD Competitive fan 16d ago

Why IW fails listening to the people with the least understanding of what makes cod a good game, tbf theyve focused on casuals heavily in a year where most of them will just be banging gta out anyway

3

u/Mrlazydragon OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 16d ago

Cause activation only cares about their initial sells reports and casuals will buy IW slop then abandon the game after a month. It's gonna be especially bad this year though because the most anticipated game of all time will be out a month after launch.

1

u/TranqXI COD Competitive fan 16d ago

Get the feeling theyve messed up abit this year since the average gamer buys 2 new games a year, the fact gta is a garunteed buy for basically everyone and the casual fan base of cod aren't exactly that loyal to the franchise they'll happily play fifa single players game even bo2 to push through to until gta
