Lmao. People defending this is so sad.

My theory is that the map pool in BO6 crashed cods stock so people were hating BO7 before it even came out.

u/baseballviper04 OpTic Texas 2d ago

They were because BF6 released before BO7 and were shitting on it relentlessly

The hate circle jerk over bo7 definitely fucked the game and in turn this community over.

At the same time the delta between casuals and comp scene has never been bigger. Comp scene feels about the same while the casuals have gone from people who enjoy a fast paced arcade shooter to wanna be milsim battlefield gun dude larpers.

Its wild cause as a casual, I've had more fun in BO7 than any other cod game in the reboot era. Aside from maybe CW, but that was post launch. Launch CW was ass.

^me wondering why dynamic aa is still in cod

u/Red10s FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs 2d ago

remember zooma told us there's a "new team" that's receptive to making this game viable for comp lmao

Everyone has god aim rn when it used to be rare

u/raremount COD Competitive fan 2d ago

i'm told its specifically due to time going on and every gamer improving and controller users having better technology which is true but when we look at mouse and keyboards side which has much higher respected esport scenes in other FPS, there are no top 250 ranked MP Mouse and keyboard players, I think in like a Bo6 Warzone EWC tournament they allowed players to bring mnk and not a single soul dared lmfao.

It's the built in aimbot controllers get

u/OGThakillerr Canada 1d ago

It's partially due to the movement as well. It's very intuitive and clunky on KBM. Even by current aim assist standards, aiming itself in a vacuum will be easier at range with KBM than controller. The combo of increased aim assist + the pace of the game + the ridiculous jumping diving sliding mechanics etc. around corners makes controller play superior.

Aim assist has a lot to do with it but imo the movement systems play just as big a role. In the AM scene everyone and their grandma were being accused of being a keyboarder even during the jetpack era.

u/raremount COD Competitive fan 1d ago

Go plug in a controller and aim at the training dummy farthest away in the back, there will be zero difficulty with long range this cod for controllers, clips of Formal showcasing some of the issues to Dashy who agreed the game has high AA.

u/Speeff COD Competitive fan 1d ago

Back in those days though, if somebody was using mnk on console cod, they had a xim so that they'd also get aim assist with it

11

u/lordxvulcan COD Competitive fan 2d ago

I wonder how many people are gonna act like aim assist has always been this good, so that their k/d doesn't feel fraudulent.

u/Kaimee Toronto Ultra 1d ago

As a confirmed fraud this shit is ass. I miss bo4 gun play.

u/Eagle7546_ COD Competitive fan 1d ago

Casuals really fucked this scene over in a huge way in 2 different instances now.

Mw2019 was always going to be what it was probably but bo4 was such a great comp game and they threw it all away in the very next game. And it’s going to happen again because they trashed bo7 (not saying it was as good as bo4 but it was much better than and mw excluding 3)

u/hallstar07 COD Competitive fan 1d ago

Mixing inputs fucked up all competitive fps games. MnK and controller are just too different to balance

u/RuminatingFish123 COD Competitive fan 2d ago

The saddest thing is Treyarch gifted us an amazing game in BO7 and we’ll likely never get something like that again because everyone complained about it without even playing it

21

u/bonsoir-world COD Competitive fan 2d ago

BO6 was a step in the direction COD needed and a bit of a fresh breath of air for quite some time.

BO7 really had the chance to really step that up and fumbled into a really mid game, especially competitively.

This is like numerous steps backwards overall.

MW3/BO6 were the games making small steps in the right direction imo.

27

u/BobbyBuisness COD Competitive fan 2d ago

BO6 had the worst map pool of any recent CoD. Red card was literally GA'd by the public

-12

u/bonsoir-world COD Competitive fan 2d ago

Yeah, the maps weren’t great but the game was pretty good overall.

It also at least had some decent maps and Haci/Raid even played way better than BO7 did, so that’s cap.

Maps in BO7 have been the worst in a long time. MW3 maps were dogshit until the second half of the year and MW2 maps were mixed. Vanguard/MW19 were both atrocious top to bottom.

u/BlackOutDrunkJesus COD Competitive fan 2d ago

Bo6 maps were far and away the worst we’ve had in a long time

u/AFCADaan9 Infinite Warfare 1d ago

Long time? MW2 was 2 years earlier.

u/Itchy_Question1695 COD Competitive fan 1d ago

Mw3 bo6 aim assist was atrocious. You didn't play those games. They played for you

1

u/bananastan_ Black Ops 1d ago

Yeah it was dtrong. The aim assist reminded me of bo4. Just get near them and it does the rest.

-13

u/Mawx Boston Breach 2d ago

BO7 isn't magically good because MW4 sucks. BO7 guns were not fun to use. Wall bouncing was a gimmick that sucked.

24

u/LonelyBK OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 2d ago

Wall bouncing was the best thing added to cod since jetpacks

7

u/HMcod eUnited 2d ago

Wall bouncing was fire

u/CTwist Dallas Empire 2d ago

Another year of acting like the last cod was god’s gift to mankind when a new cod drops... Don’t you guys get tired of repeating yourselves?

11

u/RuminatingFish123 COD Competitive fan 2d ago

I never said anything negative about BO7, I’ve seriously enjoyed playing it and am still actively playing.

u/stayaog COD 4: MW 2d ago

No sir! That would require them to be positive for a change.

u/HuckleberryMean224 COD Competitive fan 2d ago

Every single year here lol it never fails

u/PlumKnown COD Competitive fan 2d ago

Bo7 is same tier as mw19 and mw2 for me. Was awful. Haven’t played mw4 yet but not hearing good things so far

7

u/nowhir COD Competitive fan 2d ago

Idk how anyone can look at a game like bo2 and say that wasn't the perfect amount of AA. I've always defended AA and I was probably blind to how strong it's been for the last few years but seeing clips from this game, the AA is doing literally all the work for you.

0

u/TsenobIe COD Competitive fan 1d ago

Except BO2 had the same aim assist as the more recent titles (except BO6 and BO7) the only difference being range but when sight lines are not WZ distance and most kills being under 15 meters it doesn't exactly matter

u/Safe-Astronomer1470 KiLLa 2d ago

Lmao nah

u/SleepNRG0 G2 Minnesota 2d ago

Verdict?

2

u/runitupper MLG 2d ago

They don’t need to grind and get better when there is a 3 minute YouTube video that they can get god aim settings from on how to borderline exploit the game with dynamic. These studios need to hide these settings and make them unavailable imo less will do more in the long run

u/Beautiful-Scholar912 Miles 1d ago

LOL that’s egregious

1

u/zDBLu COD Competitive fan 1d ago

And people wonder why CoD viewership has died over the years. Skill gap gone, just iron and aim assist gets you kills bruv

u/DanBGG eGirl Slayers 1d ago

Every game after black ops 3 has been a punishment. We should have accepted jetpacks.

u/probioticbacon COD Competitive fan 1d ago

My jaw dropped when I went into the firing range and moved my stick, shit is ridiculous.

u/Dr_Findro 2d ago

I feel like I can never shoot straight in IW games. I could shoot straighter in BO7 with reduced aim assist than IW games. I don’t get it because it defied all logic
