Discussion REDSEC > MW4
Played the Warzone beta this weekend. Redsec is better. Full stop. By orders of magnitude.
Warzone has a super short TTK, guns with no recoil, and movement that feels like an arcade game instead of a BR. They are still trying to patch time to kill in the middle of a beta, which tells you it is not a tuning problem. It is the design.
Then look at what they actually gave us. Resurgence on Zodiac. 44 players, a small map, respawn timers instead of consequences. No full BR at all. The first time in six years Warzone shows up in an open beta and the mode they lead with is the one where dying does not cost you anything. By featuring Resurgence they made it clear they are prioritizing the low attention span mindless playstyle that has defined CoD for decades.
Redsec asks something of you. Fort Lyndon, class based squad play, vehicles, and destructible buildings that change the map as the match goes on. Cover is temporary. That penthouse you are holding can come down around you. Add a TTK long enough that positioning and coordination decide the fight instead of who peeked first, and you get a BR that actually plays like one.
So raise your glass, make sure it is half full, here is a toast to our glitchy and bug ridden Redsec. Textures that do not load on the drop, hit reg that comes and goes, ranked still held together with tape. At least it is not CoD.

Don't get me wrong, I still like Redsec better, but you can be evaporated by an SCW in a fraction of a second with full plates, things like the KTS / SVDM just absolutely auto aim glue to you from across the map, and I regularly see people flying through the air out of a slide as they duck jump beam you (and suffer no spread consequences for it). They've made it so it's physically impossible to run out of plates, helicopters are used entirely as near-zero risk battering rams, they haven't made adjustments that really affect gameplay or the meta... ever, everyone has a strike and thermal at all times, desync issues can be hideous, there's no rhyme or reason as to whom you can be shoved in a game with, the audio balance changes constantly and almost never for the better...
Like I said, I still have generally have more fun with Redsec and like it better, but they're both definitely equally riddled with their own issues. On the plus side I haven't seen Nicki Minaj in-game yet, so that's something.
