What the fuck are you talking about? There is a gigantic consensus Internet-wide that map design since MW2 was altered to favor a huge amount of flank routes and reduced sightlines. I’m sorry that you’re not smart enough to see how the game has turned into herp-derp run-n-gun. Kill Confirmed and now Cranked even cater to those styles.
This x1000. Dom games used to be a mad battle for B, and B had gasp long sight lines looking towards it which made it that one. The best ways to turn that tide was through coordinated assault on B or a good i.e. non-brainless flank/infiltration to flag A/C. Now, Dom games will have the entire team spawning on the other team’s A/C flag cuz of how the maps are designed. Games will have triple-caps one way, then a triple-cap the other way within a couple of minutes. Teamwork can still be had to control a map, but it doesn’t feel nearly as good as of old.
I decided to hold off on buying Ghosts. It’s the first CoD that I didn’t buy at launch. I watched some streams, wasn’t really wowed by anything. Saw the same SMG rush heavy gameplay that was in MW3 and BO2. I dunno, maybe I’m just burned out on CoD. The only Next Gen game that caught my eye is Titanfall, but I don’t want a Xbox One.
The maps are big, too big for 6v6. Why the hell they took ground war away baffles me. The swaying of the sights when you are trying to ADS while rushing is bad. The game feels like it was just slapped together.
It was taken away because the 360 is so pushed beyond it’s limits to include everything that the Xbone and PS4 ver have. It cannot handle 18 anymore unless they do what DICE did with BF on consoles which was reduce framerate. so far on PC/PS4 and Xbone can do 18
Don’t take people’s opinions when deciding to buy this game. Like every new COD release, the first few weeks are just a bitchfest with people complaining about everything.
It’s a little hit or miss, due to so much being different and “new”. Rent it or borrow it if you can. It definitely isn’t horrible, it’s better than MW3 at the very least.
All the guns and gun-classes are good in this game, but as usual, guns that aren’t ARs or SMGs require more work. The perk set-up can really make or break a weapon in this game.
I initially thought shotguns were dick in this game, until I played a while and got the right perks. I can’t say yet, but I think these may be some of the most balanced shotties in a while. They aren’t shit like mw3(except the striker and model), but they aren’t borderline ridiculous(sadly) like BO2.
Loving the Bulldog right now, it’s crazy with the right mobility and handling perks. With slugs and muzzlebreak it’s, uh, a really weird, good gun.
I did hear about the 360 version, but have not seen any footage of it. I’m a little worried about how scaled back it’s going to be compared to PC and XB1.
Yo wtf is up with the MK 14 EBR? They made that gun, super retarded. You can’t press the trigger any less than half a second after your first shot, or else the thing fires off TWO bullets that miss 90% of the time.
Alright played a bunch last night I wont comment on weapon balance or whatever because I am not very good at COD’s meta game in general:
-Takes too long to level up
-Getting Squad Points seem random as fuck and take too long as well
-The Perk system is really liberal you can make your guy do a little bit of everything now
-Lag Compensation is as strong as it has ever been
-THERE IS NO PING ANYMORE
-The kill count is on the top right of the screen which is pretty disorienting right now I am used to most games across the board having the kill count on the bottom
-The scoreboard being on the top right in a small box is dumb as well
-THE FP6 SHOTGUN IS BAD ASS
-EVERY GOD DAMN ROOM IN THE GAME HAS LIKE 3 WINDOWS FOR PEOPLE TO SHOOT YOU FROM THE ACROSS THE MAP
-Search and Rescue’s dog tag system detracts from the objective and I feel like needs a huge overhaul because as of right now it does not promote teamwork to plant the bomb or set up a wide net to defend the A or B. Put SnD back so people can S my D again.
You guys better hope Activision is holding on to 99% of their dedicated servers for the next gen because it feels like they don’t exist here on the 360.
Subsequent reviews have been much more positive, for what it’s worth. Still hoping the PS4 version can undergo some patch magic to fix the frame rate issues.
I haven’t touched the SMGs yet, but shotties require actual skill in this game for sure.
I wish they’d buff the slug damage though, feels like shit on the MTS, but it’s amazing on the Bulldog because of the fire rate. I haven’t tried it with the two pump actions yet.
