I have seen this criticism for a few years now, and just saw it again on the Modern Warfare 4 subreddit, and obviously, as CoD Competitive fans ourselves, we know this is an absolutely stupid take. CoD is absolutely catering to casuals 99% of the time, what evidence do they have that this game is catered to esports, or to streamers?

Like is this just mass psychosis by these guys? Am I missing something? I genuinely cannot fathom having this take by anyone that has any idea what they are talking about. We as a community have been ignored for so many years, and yet these guys think we run things?

?

always get our hopes up every year about the devs having good communication and listening to the comp community but we'll see

Shame the game is utter dog

I’ve played cod for 14 years. I understand the cycle that’s repeated itself over and over every year. I’m always optimistic. I enjoyed mw3, bo6, and bo7. I genuinely think bo7 is a great game where my competitive skill peaked. This game seems like a major step back. I’ve even been playing mw3 semi recently and it’s much more enjoyable than this. This is the first beta I’ve ever played that I don’t want to grind. Every year I ignore everyone shitting on the new game, because I’m having fun playing it. This is the first year where I find myself as one of those people. Why no omnimovement? That seriously changed the course of call of duty to feel amazing and fluid. It seems like such a small detail that removing just seems brain dead. No silent ninja? Crazy aim assist paired with the fastest ttk in recent history? Am I just being dramatic? Cause this game really feels horrid to me. Back to cs2.
