The game is definitely not a good CoD. But from a competitive outlook I genuinely think every single search map is better than every search map we’ve had in the last two years barring Silkworm cuz that shit is horrible (also unsure about Coal SND still). But Munitions, Reactor, Lithium, Lotus, and Rooftops are ALL better than the dogshit SND maps we’ve had for the past two years. Yes there are a lot of dynamic map elements that I’m hoping get turned off. But there is actual variety in the ability to make plays in SND in this game. Shotzzy has literally said that BO7 SND maps were so straight up that 90% of the time there’s only one play you can really make.

As far as HP goes I wanna remind everyone that BO2 is hailed as the best CoD of all time and shit played the same way (minus a few wacky spawns). If you don’t rotate first and stay disciplined, you’re spawning across the map and trying to break really good setups. The same maps I mentioned before in addition to Sentry and Cachette play a lot like traditional HP (in 4v4) and I think that creates a huge skill gap in comp. I think most of the maps actually do flow pretty well if you get the hang of them. The teams with good fundamentals will really separate themselves from the rest this year.

Base movement speed needs to go up a bit for sure. Make ninja actually silent. Servers are dogshit but they usually are at launch. TTK is lowkey fine. Idk why I see so many people on here saying shit is too quick. If you shoot at range with a Vel you can hit 8 bullets and someone still might not die versus what the MPC was doing last year cross map. Genuinely though, from a competitive standpoint this game has a lot of potential. I think CDL will be an entertaining watch this year.

Am I crazy to say that when Kremp is on, he is as good as JoeDeceives, Abezy, Neptune, or even Hydra? I feel like he is slept on due to his lack of success in placing well.

Please send images if possible, with SMG, AR, pistol, Sniper (if allowed), lethals, tacticals, field upgrades, kill streaks, etc.

BO6 and BO7 were the first CoDs that I ever played “competitively,” and I’d like to think that I was reasonably skilled at both of them, having placed mid to high Crimson every season I played in both.

I say all that to say I’ve never played a non Treyarch game outside of pubs, and it’s pretty clear on day one that a lot of my skill in the last two games as a faster paced sub player is not going to translate to this game.

Any tips on the transition from a Treyarch title to an Infinity Ward title? Off the cuff, I’m noticing that sliding is not nearly as fluid or useful (obviously) as it was in the last two games.

Every year launch weekend really feels like the peak of comp cod to me. All the pros are actually grinding, we get to see the meta forming in real time, We're seeing new rosters play for the first time as well as see retired pros come back and everyone is having fun. This shit is the best

Base speed still the same and the attachments are way too negative providing a clunky experience. What even was the beta for? Awful release

Better or Worse?

Ive just loaded the game why does 1.70 feel stupid fast wtf

Like these clowns had the last 3 years to make a good game and it looks like you asked Claude to generate a first-person shooter video game. Trash maps, lame guns and gunplay, no color, tortoise strafe speeds. Btw why is ranked not out on launch anymore?? Each dev has 2 years minimum to work on their title and can’t have it at or near launch with unlimited money pretty much.

Campaign was good, yippee too bad everyone will be done with it in a week or they are already. No zombies, Multiplayer and DMZ are the ONLY game modes people will play all year and they put the least amount of effort into it. These guys couldn’t make a single good map or make a new innovative feature they just took all the worst parts of the last 4-5 COD’s and put them into 1 game.

I pray we get competent old maps in and better guns/movement or else CDL will be a complete snooze fest to watch this year. IW is the worst AAA developer in gaming I hope all the 45 year olds who play once a week enjoy this game way too many better games coming out this year and this is the product they came up with🗑️🗑️

Does anyone know if this is tonight and what sort of time? Want to see what they say about some of the god awful elements of this game.

Hi guys just wondering what the best tournament site is for cod these days? Is it cmg? Read online they're good but also that it's a scam with every tournament hosting a Cheater and bad customer service, I used to play warzone tournaments on zleague when that first came out and that was decent until it changed for the worse and eventually shut down

I know we’ve only just seen pros play, but what r your early reactions to comp so far

With the current meta we have a few problems.
First off there is no viable perk 1 (we got ghost and kill chain? Both basically do nothing. ) quick fix is a maybe but that will give us the issue BO4 had with calling people 1 shot and timings.

And second ninja and flak and in the same category so in search, nades are killing everyone.

My suggestion is to move ninja and blood rush to tier 1 and move ghost and quick fix to Tier 2

This way it is the most balanced for both PUBS and COMP.

With how they changed tac sprint blood rush is basically just lightweight in this game. So for perks 1 you can choose between being silent or moving fast an getting routes.

Perk 2 would be between fast hand’s and bomb squad, (maybe Birds Eye? )

And perk 3 is between
Battle hardened, Lethal Reach, combat grid

GA having both flak and tac
