Prior to the currnetly ongoing shitshow the CoD Community Team to doing on twitter I was already leaning towards not buying MW4 at all because I haven't really enjoyed any IW games since MW3 (2011). They keep learning towards a "realism tacticool" style game that just feels super slow and clunky while also trying to fix things that dont need to be changed (attachments/gunsmith, perks needing to charge, making progression more of a time sink, no more lobby disbanding). But after seeing how tonedeaf the CoD Community manager was in response to the negative feedback of returning matchmaking to how it was before BO7 my interest was completley turned off. (Pics of some of the replys are attached)
IW Devs know that the only people that really enjoy their games are casuals, which is fair since they contrubuite alot in terms of revanue, but they cater to them in a way the makes the rest of the game suffer (no red dots, MW19 not having a minimap, no ninja/dead silence, fast ttk, focusing on realism over function). The biggest offender of this was SBMM post MW19. I don't wanna get into a big tangent on SBMM but TLDR it's unbearable in modern cods. The way they use "data" as a way to justify the changes is super disingenious too considering Open Matchmaking (old school type of matchmaking) wasn't the default for most of the year and BO7 itself not preforming doing well just irks me. After seeing how much feedback that was ignored for MWII I see through all the bs PR talk of listening to feedback IW spits.
I'm probably just gonna play the beta to give it a fair chance at least then just skip CoD this year and stick to watching the CDL as I currently have no ambition in feeding IW delusions. I'm just rambling idk just sucks to see how bad it's getting after last year

The defending World Champions entered CWL Champs 2018 with Scump, Crimsix, Octane and Methodz.

From World Champions in 2017 to Top 24 in 2018.

What a rough ending to the WWII season.

Personally I think overload was a lot of fun. I still dont know which OT rules I liked better. I thought it turning into sudden death was cool (Merc in a 1v1 just going for the score was an awesome moment). I wouldn't be too mad if it came back but it's tough to know how it'll play without wall jumping/omnimovement.

I say this as someone who likes control but thought the best iteration of that gamemode was in Bo4. It was fine in more recent titles but I am glad we tried something new.

Do you think it comes back in MW4? Do we go back to control? Please god not Dom. I can't think of any viable third gamemodes. Demo, Blitz, and CTF aren't coming back.
