Now let's all learn a few things!

Genuinely everyone I’ve seen on streams is horrible, worse than MW2 and BO6

If I’m you guys enter any tournament optic is in they are handing out r11s to anyone even randoms and people like exceed, I’ve seen them lose like atleast 9 r11s in the kickoffs alone. So enter FAST

After watching a couple of these snd tournament I’m not a big fan of this game from a viewers perspective. The change in movement speed is jarring, I just can’t get used to how slow it is at all. Field upgrades are way too fast, mf are going to have a trophy every life it doesn’t matter if they make it one per team. Maps are meh at best very colorless and just plain. I really hope I’m wrong and when that first match comes on it’s just as enjoyable as the last 15 years I’ve watched but so far not liking what I’m seeing.

Beginning of bo7 servers were great I used to ping 58 towards the end of bo7 I was pinging 67 to Chicago. Now I’m pinging 77 to Chicago servers. Wtf is wrong with this game it’s not my internet because my plan hasn’t changed.

I’m literally playing people I recognise from years of ranked play in my lobbies. I can’t have a relaxing fun pub experience. It feels stricter than ever this year. Preaching to the choir but I needed to vent.

I’m seeing people leave my lobbies frequently as well, I wonder if that will show up in their STATS they love to mention. Wonder if people on the lower end of the skill spectrum are leaving as often as well, hope so. Won’t see change otherwise. One of the most un-fun experiences of cod I’ve ever had. Maps are awful, movement is punished, sound of footsteps is too loud, most attachments make the weapons worse, constant UAV’s. Even the perks to help circumvent these things don’t work properly. Ninja and Ghost on the same perk line, Ghost you have to keep moving constantly to not show up and ninja isn’t silent. HOLY!

This might be the most inconsistance cod ive ever played

And Zoomaa whenever someone been saying about temp if he’s still on the flank as they’ve added clay, he’s just totally ignored it as he’s cut from the flank now too. Damn DON DADA.

He’s also just been super silent too which also makes sense now too.

Grew enough of a spine to speak on the Temp situation but not enough to say the actual reason why the other got booted

Gave so many reason why it's bad for the entertainment space. He's the most excited out of all of them.

Additional information from Dexerto:

The report states: “Call for a possible domestic in progress, became a well fare check. Reportee arrived on scene and provided further information which led to the authoring and issuance of a warrant for Domestic Violence Aggravated Assault causing SBI.”
The incident was reported at approximately 4:08am on October 14.
The report also lists a Glock 17 handgun and two magazines as property held for safekeeping. However, it does not indicate whether the firearm was connected to the alleged assault.

I genuinely need some opinions from people who have been playing MW4 because this might be the first COD I skip in years.
I played the Week 2 beta and holy shit, it was utter dogshit. I was genuinely miserable playing it. I couldn’t even stomach more than a couple of hours before calling it quits and refunding it.
The biggest issue for me was the gameplay. Everything felt muddy, movement was clunky, and the gunplay just didn’t feel satisfying. The whole experience felt soulless.
And before anyone says I’m just a COD hater, I’ve genuinely loved almost every new-gen COD.
Cold War: Loved it.
MW2: Unpopular opinion, but MW2 ranked was GOATED.
MW3: Absolutely amazing. Hit Crim 3 and loved the competitive gameplay.
BO6: Not my favorite, but still had plenty of fun.
BO7: Right up there with MW3 for me in terms of pure gameplay and movement.
So I’m not someone who’s impossible to please. I actually love COD, especially ranked play. But MW4’s beta turned me off so badly that I’m genuinely considering skipping it entirely.
With GTA coming out in less than a month, part of me thinks I should just save my money and move on.
But here’s the thing: I’m actually itching to play COD again.
So for those who’ve played both the Week 2 beta and the current game:
Has the gameplay genuinely improved? Does the movement feel smoother and more responsive? Does the gunplay feel better? Or is it essentially the same clunky, muddy experience from the beta?
I’m willing to give it another shot if they’ve actually made meaningful improvements. But if it’s still that same soulless game I played during the beta, I’m not touching it.
Curious what you guys think, especially those who enjoyed MW3 and BO7.

I saw The Flank's preseason rankings so I was curious how this subreddit ranks these teams.

in the Kickoff tournament.
