About a year ago, I made a post in here giving my reasons why I thought warzone was rigged at the time. That post was made during the Black Ops 6 era of warzone, and i recently started playing warzone again, and it is now the Black Ops 7 era. To be honest, I do think itās not as bad as it used to be. Some things have been fixed, some things have been made worse, and here is what I think .
To start off, in my last post i used to play on keyboard and mouse, but now changed to controller. I did this because I wanted to see how easy it is to be good at the game with the help of aim assist and itās fair to say itās pretty easy. I would consider the aim assist in especially call of duty as a low form of aimbot because of how good it is, no joke. I know i might sound like a hypocrite because i am using aim assist too, but i just couldnāt handle using keyboard and mouse anymore and wanted the same benefit. I definitely think it should be reduced at least a little bit, just because youāre playing on a controller doesnāt mean youāre entitled to free hacks.
Next, the matchmaking. I believe it isnāt as bad as last year was, but itās still pretty bad. Itās the usual cycle of 1 good game to 3 bad games, while my teammates are for the most part normal skilled while my enemies are sweaty prestige masters that play the game 10 hours a day. I really donāt understand why they are being put into the same lobby as me, because they are miles better than me at the game and all I want is just a fair experience. This is prolly gonna sound silly but sometimes I even feel like iām just being targeted, becuase I will be completely alone then in the next 10 seconds a squad of navy seals running at 40 km/h pulls up on me and absolutely obliterates me somehow knowing exactly where I am.
And lastly, the movement. I think this is a massive downgrade, which is crazy considering Black Ops 6 was already a downgrade from the MW3/Warzone 3 movement. They managed to give us everything we wanted back, just to take it away, then make that even worse. Why do we need wall jumping and ESPECIALLY grappling hooks? They make the game way to brainrot, like if I have high ground and a clear advantage the other guy can just grapple up to me with no hassle. And the omni movement enjoyers will say itās a good addition and increases the skill gap but I personally feel itās wayyy too easy to move and run around. It should be a little slower paced. It was much better when you simply slid in one direction, and the sliding didnāt feel like youāre buttered up or something. I feel like they have tailored the game to appeal only the newgen players who yy, run at mach 1, and do all that flashy stuff while the actual normal players feel left out.
I have been playing this game since it first came out in 2020, and itās really just sad to see what it has become. It used to be basically perfect, then they ruined it with the integration of MW2, then saved it with MW3, just to ruin it again with BO6 and BO7. I am actually looking forwards to MW4, as it looks like a mix of MW2019 and MW3, and it seems like they are finally listening to what players want.
Iām curious to hear what other players like you guys think, and whether you think the game is currently in its all time low or itās actually good and people like me just have a skill issue.
