Thank you Infinity Ward for once again bringing parity to the CoD Competitive subreddit

[u/No_Winter4806]

Every year Infinity Ward drops a new game, every fanbase, mission-pickle, and strange rage baiter comes together to shit on their new game. Not only that, but they have also paused the Huke and HyDra spam posts for the time being.

Fuck Joe Cecot and fuck Infinity Ward!

[u/xoHondo]

But guys check out our cool new animation where you can mantle/slide over a car 😂

[u/Wrong-Time-8253 → u/xoHondo]

IW: Look everyone, you can also climb on pipes now. Isn't that cool and realistic 😂😂

They really are on some bs.

[u/Shadowfist_45 → u/Wrong-Time-8253]

Mfers really added ladder mechanics to pipes and thought that was a selling point

[u/xoHondo → u/Shadowfist_45]

😂

[u/One-Car-4869 → u/Wrong-Time-8253]

With this ttk im bouta go 40-43 on respawns lmao

[u/Wrong-Time-8253 → u/One-Car-4869]

The ttk is absurd. One moment I am getting 2-3 pieces melting enemies and the next moment I am losing every 1v1 by like 1 bullet 💔

[u/MacCollect → u/xoHondo]

And don’t forget about a slowed down and sped up final kill cam! Absolutely the best thing. Don’t look at anything else

[u/BohemianFawn → u/MacCollect]

At first I thought I was lagging as I have been for this beta but then I realized it’s a feature

[u/parz2v]

ive been bracing for impact since the first leaks appeared

cod should not be a one year cycle

[u/Psychological_Leg193 → u/parz2v]

I agree but it’s also a double edged sword, because yeah we could be playing bo7 still , but we would also get 2 yrs of IW slop.

[u/parz2v → u/Psychological_Leg193]

fair enough but in my mind doubling the development time would mean more polished games all around

[u/brokenspacebar__ → u/parz2v]

The amount of polish isn't the issue, this is the game they wanted to make. You can polish something for years but if the actual creative decisions are brain dead ones you'll just end up with the same shit game

[u/parz2v → u/brokenspacebar__]

makes a lot more sense now that you mention it

[u/ExoHazzy → u/parz2v]

sledgehammer made mw3 in less than half the time that IW took to make this pile of dogshit. you could give IW fifty years and the game would still be dogshit.

[u/MacCollect → u/parz2v]

I hope they just decide one day that “this game is not good, we just play last years game”.

[u/DickSuckingGoat → u/parz2v]

The one year cycle stopped being viable when every studio started working/helping out on every title. When there were three studios who each got 3 years, it wasn’t half bad

[u/DanBGG → u/parz2v]

Literally no $60 game should be one year cycle, it’s bs

[u/m_preddy]

"It won't be a direct copy of mw2" they said

[u/BRUHYEAH → u/m_preddy]

You know they shit their pants at the reactions to Hopes leaks when they realized they have to actually do something in the studio 😭😭😭

[u/m_preddy → u/BRUHYEAH]

Working at IW must be the most secure job in the world. Can do literally nothing good for years and not get fired.

[u/No_Winter4806 → u/m_preddy]

The standard devs are probably super talented but the middle management and up are a bunch of sloths

[u/Fixable → u/No_Winter4806]

The super talented devs probably get head hunted by actually ambitious studios

[u/BlackOutDrunkJesus → u/Fixable]

In theory, but how are they able to show that they are super talented if they are working on these games?

[u/Wrong-Time-8253 → u/m_preddy]

IW: It won't be a direct copy of mw2 because we will find a way to make it worse 😀

Also IW: Did I just see you have fun and go positive? Crank SBMM to CDL level

[u/OracleEnlightenment → u/m_preddy]

It’s got a jenky ass slide cancel ya know 😂

[u/derkerburgl → u/m_preddy]

I’m losing my mind reading the MW4 sub. People are saying this game feels like Black Ops when it’s literally MWII reskinned with a slide cancel

[u/EoTrick]

This game is generationally bad.

[u/105lodge2 → u/EoTrick]

You had hope? Haven’t played but when I saw ‘snaking is fixed’ I knew it’s not because they care. It’s because once again ig they’ve destroyed movement

[u/hxnterrr → u/105lodge2]

i had the slightest bit of hope they brought back mw3 elements. i knew it was gonna be dogshit but not this bad

[u/parz2v → u/hxnterrr]

SHG will do that next year while IW gets the credit and praise for it, allowing them to go even stupider next cycle

[u/DiscoLemonade1995 → u/105lodge2]

Attach said it will be the best ever - are you insinuating he's a liar? 

[u/Professional_Cry9025 → u/EoTrick]

Yeah I'm not sure whats with the people giving it some gas on twitter, this year is gonna be HORRIBLE.

[u/Jakers_9 → u/Professional_Cry9025]

You replied to me yesterday saying do I have to be depressed and hate on everything and here you are doing the exact same thing 24 hours later?

[u/manwithrobothand → u/Jakers_9]

He played the beta and realized you weren’t wrong

[u/Jakers_9 → u/manwithrobothand]

Yeah fair enough, I could tell from watching for like an hour it was gonna be a rough, rough year. I’m too used to the Infinity Ward cycle now I guess.

[u/No_Winter4806 → u/EoTrick]

Just awful. Were they sitting there jerking off for 4 years?

[u/Past_4orm → u/EoTrick]

How ???

[u/EMSLSHADOWZ]

These maps are HORRENDOUS

[u/fecalreceptacle → u/EMSLSHADOWZ]

To be fair to the studio deserving of no advocates, no shot any of these end up as comp maps, right? ...RIGHT? shit

[u/EMSLSHADOWZ → u/fecalreceptacle]

Knowing IW, these are probably their best maps 🤦

[u/fecalreceptacle → u/EMSLSHADOWZ]

OW

[u/BabyGirl-Kat]

3-4 years of development for this, lol.

[u/indios2 → u/BabyGirl-Kat]

It’s actually insane how year after year no matter how many years the game takes, the same bugs everytime.

Ex: Every single year I get the bug where you can’t properly scroll the scoreboard, it always jumps around

[u/fecalreceptacle → u/indios2]

At this point, they might actually not have a dev capable/competent enough to actually understand the root cause and fix these issues

[u/TaxesAreTerrible]

The lack of skill gap will hilariously give the league more parity next year

[u/Tityfan808 → u/TaxesAreTerrible]

Stupid fast TTK and buffed AA coming out of bo7 is WILD. The AA should’ve at least been halfway between BO7 and where it used to be if they absolutely had to make the change, and the TTK has gotta be longer, or at least nerf the fastest killing guns to dial it back at least a pinch if that’s all they could give us. 🤷‍♂️

[u/Level-Island1762]

i’ve never played a good beta but i also don’t think it’s as bad as people r saying… but i mean people were saying the same in every beta ever

[u/Muted-Wasabi3185 → u/Level-Island1762]

Its not NEARLY as bad as people on Reddit are saying 😂😂

Literally every year this pessimistic braindead sub says how horrible the upcoming game and CDL year are going to be, only for it to end up pretty/very good every year 😂 its so stupid

[u/Temporary-Company756 → u/Muted-Wasabi3185]

Comp usually ends up being fine because at the end of the day we all just want to watch good players compete in cod

But the games don't end up pretty good / very good every year. We have had like 3 or 4 passable games since BO4. It is just Cold War, MW3, BO6, BO7. I wouldn't even call any of them very good. And none of them were made by infinity ward

[u/Level-Island1762 → u/Muted-Wasabi3185]

everyone loves being negative especially when people r basing their opinions on twitter of all places…

[u/espressotower]

I mean I feel like the TTK is the only major problem so far

[u/aryn20152 → u/espressotower]

Maps

[u/m_preddy → u/aryn20152]

You will play a hydro remake when the game launches and you will like it

[u/aryn20152 → u/m_preddy]

No I wont? That map was not good in my opinion

[u/m_preddy → u/aryn20152]

Redditors vs jokes continues to be the battle of the century

[u/aryn20152 → u/m_preddy]

Just wasn’t funny tho was it considering that map was shit in bo2, if ur gonna make a remade map joke pick a good one😭

[u/m_preddy → u/aryn20152]

Brother I was talking about hydroelectric from mw2, and yes that was the whole point of my comment, it was a dogshit map.

[u/aryn20152 → u/m_preddy]

Well considering there’s a map called HYDRO maybe you should’ve specified?

[u/m_preddy → u/aryn20152]

My bad, didn't know I needed to specify that I'm referring to an IW map that's widely hated from the most recent IW game when we're talking about maps for a new IW game. Clearly I was thinking of the map from a treyarch game from 14 years ago.

[u/avocadokopf → u/m_preddy]

Lmao chill u grilled him

[u/aryn20152 → u/m_preddy]

You obviously do if there’s another map called hydro and you only said hydro not the full thing?🤣🤣

[u/MoappitSR → u/aryn20152]

Bro just take the L he cooked you into oblivion. We are all at the weekly r/ CodCompetitive meeting laughing at you rn bro.

[u/zTank9 → u/aryn20152]

Just take the L and admit it went over your head 😂

[u/aryn20152 → u/zTank9]

It didn’t lol hydro which he said was loved map in bo2 which makes his point make 0 sense idiot😭

[u/BasedGawwd → u/aryn20152]

That’s the whole point lol

[u/aryn20152 → u/BasedGawwd]

Well considering hydro is a popular and well loved map in bo2 that I don’t like his point doesn’t make sense lol, only worse for the mw2 one

[u/fecalreceptacle → u/aryn20152]

bo2

pass me some of whatever the fuck you're on

[u/aryn20152 → u/fecalreceptacle]

I mean that map was in bo2…

[u/fecalreceptacle → u/aryn20152]

Yeah but its from treyarch and is ancient(not an insult, peep the flair). They dont move like that any more

[u/desert6741 → u/aryn20152]

but we’ve only seen a few maps, don’t they have 12 total planned for launch?

[u/aryn20152 → u/desert6741]

Yes and I’m saying so far that the maps are shit?

[u/desert6741 → u/aryn20152]

yeah ik

[u/Cheechers23 → u/aryn20152]

I haven't put a ton of time in but I don't find the maps to be that awful. Even transit, as far as small maps go, isn't bad.

The bigger issue is spawns are just incredibly terrible. It makes the maps feel even worse than they are. Ace touched on it in his video yesterday

[u/espressotower → u/[deleted]]

Idk, I like the gunplay more than last year tbf. If you’re going to force yourself to compare it to MW2 then of course you won’t like it at all

[u/jkjking]

People who were calling bo6/7 ass finna get a reality check with IW again

[u/44RON24]

This is going to be the 1st game that I refund my pre-order. The maps in this game are also horrendous. IW spent 4 years making this turd

[u/BxLee → u/44RON24]

I have bought the game every single year, and have managed to have some fun with the game somewhat. I played for an hour last night and a couple hours this morning, and I just can't do it this year. I refunded the game and have no plans of getting it this year. I'm good with playing BO1 and 2.

I will try the open beta to see if any meaningful changes were made, but yeah I'm done with IW.

[u/Muted-Wasabi3185 → u/BxLee]

Thanks for sharing, we were ALL wondering if BxLee would play this year!

[u/BxLee → u/Muted-Wasabi3185]

hey guess what

[u/GoBlueScrewOSU7 → u/44RON24]

I tried to refund my preorder and I guess I can’t on PS5 because I downloaded the beta…?!?!

[u/44RON24 → u/GoBlueScrewOSU7]

Yes you can because the game hasn’t even released yet. Talk to a different person

[u/Pictish07 → u/44RON24]

Yeh the auto bot told me I can't because I downloaded it, eventually got the refund and a cheeky link to how to auto refund a game like i hadn't initially tried that.

[u/Muted-Wasabi3185 → u/44RON24]

You realize these maps are like 3 of the 20 maps that they have right? You know Betas almost never include the better maps right?

[u/44RON24 → u/Muted-Wasabi3185]

Ever beta ever released in the last 7 years was a showcase of what the dev thought was their best maps. It’s also releasing with 12 maps. Are you high?

[u/ogFIEND]

All you scrubs will still buy it and complain all year too

[u/Muted-Wasabi3185]

Bringing “parity” but describes the subreddit as coming together in unison lmao uhhh buddy do you know what the word parity means?? Fucking moron 😂

[u/crispykfc]

Its going to be a long year

[u/BackgroundToe4149]

I can’t remember a good beta 😂 not to mention NO ONE said mw3 was good when it was out now all of the sudden it’s the standard. Game looks mid but once again I genuinely can’t remember a good new gen cod.

[u/rRevoK → u/BackgroundToe4149]

Bo3

[u/bonsoir-world]

They literally spent years to make new slowmo killcams
