I’ve been playing Modern Warfare all evening and night long yesterday, and today too. That game is plain awful, let me tell you why..
- The camping festival.
First of all, Modern Warfare has a serious camping problem of this magnitude it never had before. Yes camping like Battlefield 5. But multiply the Battlefield 5 camping by 500 and here we go, Modern Warfare. Nobody gets objectives. You play domination the ugly russian map, nobody ever moves from his balcony, nobody ever moves from their corners. There are tons of people proning in dark spots you can barely see. 99% of your deaths are by campers.
- Bad spawns and spawn camping.
Yes, spawns are super bad. First of all there are no dynamic spawns. You always respawn in the same spots and ppl already know where they are. I myself even tested the spawn camping at enemy home spawn, went 16-0 in matter of 2 minutes. And im not the best COD player ever known. Just stay there, camp behind a wall, wait people to respawn in the same exact spawn, place some claymores here and there, and here we go. A massacre.
- Weapons variety, most weapons are just underpowered, few others are decent.
Skadoodle yesterday shown how the MP5 is beyond broken and guess what? This afternoon all the players were using MP5 as primary. Sometimes you find a M4A1 here and there. Apart 3 or 4 decent guns, the others are not worth even using. Like the semi automatics or the self loadings. Super slow to shoot, super recoil after each bullets, time to kill super high. You have to consider all in this game use AR or fully automatic weapons, you get lasered in less than a millisecond even before shooting your first bullet.
- Weapons feels the same.
All ARs feel the same, all LMGs feel the same, all SMGs feel the same when you shoot them. Only thing may slightly differ is their number of slot for customization.
- Netcode is garbage equally to BF5. Hit reg highly incostistent
IF you take a look at Reddit, you see a ton of ppl complaining about hit reg and showing their clips. And i agree. Me using an AR, i shoot a dude on his chest 10 m away from me, not even half of the hit registered, he shoots some millisec after me, instant death.
Also, what you see in your perspective dont represent what u see in kill cam perspective. There must be desync also when you play. See problematic below.
- Servers are bad. As an european, you are forced to play against Americans, Canadians and Asians in the same server.
Yes u read it correctly. In my launcher i have EU servers only set, and yet, you get paired everytime to Americans and Mainland Chinese. You get killed, the banner of the killer shows an american flag, or a chinese flag, or a canadian flag or a japanese flag. At point point in chat i asked where those people where from, they replied as i suspected they were from the countries shown by their banners. You dont even know where the server u play is located. Ping numbers are nonsensical and bugged. I have 10 ping while im playing and i dont think COD has servers here in Italy. They never had them. Usually servers are in Germany, UK, Netherlands etc. Being forced to play against people of other continents, makes the netcode and hit registration even worse.
- No skill in this game. Your score is determined only by luck.
Yes weapons have recoil in this COD, but the recoil can be super easily controlled by moving down the mouse. Furthermore, customization allow to reduce even more the recoil of any guns. You play a game, you find people laser shooting you from across the map constantly with any weapons. Theres not even a spread of bullets or bullet drop. Bullets travelling for 1.4 kilometres in perfect straight line. Also another problem is the enormous quantity of campers in this game. Camping in buildings never moving, camping at enemy spawns. Easy kills. Also, netcode is so bad, whoever sees the enemy first wins the gunfight. Theres no way to avoid insta death.
- Time to Kill super fast, much faster than the usual cod standards
COD WW2 or BO4 had a fast ttk, but not this fast. U die in less than a millisecond and most of the times you dont even know where you got shot from. It’s beyond pathetic.
- Positional audio is garbage and when it works, its super incosistent.
People running behind you and you dont hear them. People stabbing you in the back and you dont hear them. The biggest complains made by streamers and youtubers is true. Positional audio is super bad. Devs acknoledged this and promised to fix it before the release.
- Kill streaks totally ruin the experience.
You die in a millisecond with this ttk, then you spawn back in,. and you insta die because an enemy is using the helicopter to mow down anyone coming out from the spawns. Because like i said earlier, spawns are also garbage and not dynamic. In my last game, i died 5 times by kill stream elicopters in less than 30 seconds and i couldnt even avoid this. Spawn die spawn die spawn die. My server was full of people rage quitting the game.
- Aim assist beyond powerful in controllers.
You play cross platform against xbox and ps4 players, you get instantly lasered by a controller user who has aim assist and insta locking on your body. Most pc players i know playing this game disabled cross platforming because it’s plain stupid to play against a godly aim assist that makes the work for you.
Anyone other serious issues i didnt mention can be found on Reddit in posts like this one https://www.reddit.com/r/modernwarfare/comments/d6u18u/im_sorry_but_this_game_needs_a_lot_of_work/
On Reddit, even Codders (Cod players) are complaining of this game. Saying it’s bad and one of the worst of the franchise and they are worried for the launch. Personally i had hype for this game, but after playing it for 2 days i will not buy it. IT’s trash. My hype completely disapperead.
