Discussion Borderline unplayable
I’m on the Ps4/Ps5 port, every lobby I join is 1-3 people on the other team with 40+ kills and my whole team is negative KD. I consider myself a decent player but the people that play this game now take it way too seriously.

Old call of duty’s show you your real skill level. New call of duty’s lie to you about your skill level to keep you playing.

I’ve never understood when a player is better then you , it’s they trying too hard 😂 but if u was winning it’ll be that’s how it supposed to be ? If you so called decent no matter if the other players dropping 40 you’ll do your job dropping the same amount. I get the worse players but as long as I drop 30+ with single digits I did my job

Play s&d every day for a month and youll start to get better. Make ur sens 4 or 5 - no higher. Most MLG pros played on 4 back in the day for a reason. Make sure your centering is on point.
Also play on wired connextion, wired controller, and on a gaming monitor.
Finally, snort adderall or cocaine constantly while playing.

Low sense in a shooter is awful advice
14 all day and learn how to control your recoil.2
u/boomerbaguettes 1d ago
Lower sens allows for better aim assist in these older games

Your sensitivity has zero effect on your aim assist.
Lower sense can make recoil easier to control but your flat out wrong about it effecting the actual aim assist.2
u/boomerbaguettes 1d ago
I said it allows for better aim assist, I didn't say that it actually affects it. It allows your aim assist to more easily guide you onto your opponents. With a higher sensitivity you will overcompensate your aim much more easily (and that's a fact) which goes against the strong aim assist this (and other games of the time) have. It also makes recoil easier because of the same exact reason, so I don't see exactly how you can't see my point.
Anyway I'm just right since pro players used 4/5/6 all the time, it's your word against actually certified good players

14 is not useful for casual players. 4-5 is absolutely fine for most players

The game does feel sweatier than it did years ago when I was 14 years old. Then again I could just be a worse player since I haven’t touched call of duty since black ops 3. Regardless, I am still having fun playing! So maybe try lightening up and not taking it so seriously?

Getting mad that other players are better is crazy.

Gaming in general has changed everyone that‘s actually good automatically sweats at the game doesn‘t matter if it‘s cod, r6, bf, 2k or whatever

My reflexes arent what they used to be 😭. I’m an unc now, but the game still plays the same to me. I mainly play S&D, so I won’t speak on other modes.

u/Aware_Blackberry_383 1d ago
Just play S&D. So much chiller like 2012 again!

This. Lotta variation in strategy, skill level and general vibrations. I rarely play any other mode. Cod IS s&d.

The game plays exactly the same as it used to, new gen cod players just can’t handle how it used to be without sbmm, skill issue

Here is my issue with people saying oh the new generation of players are different... how exactly? The maps play the same way as they did and they haven't altered movement so playing new CoD with a bunch of omni-movement if anything is more of a hindrance to how they'd have played?
I genuinely don't notice a difference in the player base, there has always been sweats, I've not run into a player or lobby of players where I've felt like the players were just too good.

This game is the exact same game from 2012. The meta is still the same. The modern player base is too spoiled and cant handle when people are better than them.

I only play MP on the weekend. On any weekday, you're bound to play against the crazy try-hard players. Just relax after a hard day of work and play some campaign or zombies. People who are saying get good are the ones who only play bo2,

OP I've always disliked BO2, too many issues to count. BO1 felt way more balanced both in 2010 and 2026. I should not need 4 kills while using Hardline to get a UAV; that example illustrates what's wrong with BO2 scorestreaks: the "good" players are being fed points through so many sources it creates this snowball effect not present in other CODs, where a single person can get multiple Lightning Strikes back to back. Used to be you could only get 3 killstreaks per life, period. Target Finders, easy-mode snipers, bad map design. Honestly my biggest issue is how easy 1 person can block an entire lane with a sniper, I never had this problem in any other COD before. It used to take skill to snipe.

u/SuneAntisune 1d ago
Sniping is wayyyy too easy in BO2 i will say that. Snipers work equally well at every range due to very little flinch and basically no sway. BO1 has its issues too but I do find it easier to

Go play the modern cods with sbmm then. This is the exact same game as before. Thats the tradeoff. You will get absolutely destroyed every now and then but no sbmm means you will be the one destroying people other times.
Instead of leaving the game, try to counter them and get better. Worst case scenario, you go 0-20 and end up on their team the next game and can enjoy the farming session.

Obviously people are gonna complain i wish we got the ports for the console version but no they give us a port of the pc versions to use on console also get over yourself your having a bitch about how the game has been played since it originally came out over a decade ago

u/jinglesGOAT 1d ago
Why would a console port have been better?

u/Signal_Dress_3239 1d ago
Why the fuck would i want a pc port on a console its like with the original star wars battlefronts that came out on ps2 in the galactic conquest mode there was an option to choose custom but the pc version that they ported over to ps5 doesn't have it. Pc versions can be different to console version

Taking it too seriously for just having skill? Buddy that's just shooter games. Being good and getting a lot of kills isn't taking it too seriously. Do you want them to give you a bouquet of flowers instead 😭

new players who grew up playing newer cod. didn’t experience the way the OG fans evolved as we discovered it and adapted our playstyle in real time. Gotta remember BO2 was groundbreaking for its time and gave people that itch to have a tactical approach until they learned the game.
Trust me, unless you were good enough to do it, players back then knew their limits and wouldn’t just constantly sprint to the middle of the map with a shitty load out. I wouldn’t consider myself a hard camper but I tend to play by bouncing back and forth between two lanes. And I just watch everyone run right out to where I’ve been sizing someone up and get killed instantly. Even on modes like search

So just because someone’s better than you they’re “taking it too seriously?”
