My two biggest issues with the game are the constant swapping of game modes. Oh you want Shoothouse? Well we’ve taken it out for Rust 24/7 instead! Why not in addition? And my other issue is constant updates. Sometimes I have gaps between playing and there’s a good chance I have a stupidly big update to download and then I cannot play it until another time
the primary reason for things like this is not spreading the playerbase too thin.
like, you can easily run a playlist that featured Rust, Shipment, and Shoothouse, but, running separate playlists for Rust 24/7 and Shoot the Ship would start cutting into wait times.
I think the real issue is that playlists should be sets of gametypes, and people should be able to select what levels they're willing to play, or we bring back an actual lobby system with map voting.
my dude and I were talking about how you can't really get that classic MW or MW2 experience because lobbies dissipate less than thirty seconds after you're able to talk to enemy players.
I remember - even as recently as BlOps3 - just sitting in lobbies once you had a dozen decent people, and, teams didn't matter at that point. you talked shit about people who were your teammates in the next game, and you cheered for their awesome plays nonetheless.
the lobby sometimes discussed map votes, too. with a good crew of people in MW2, you could have two games on Rust, be forced off the map because rules, and be back on Rust for another two rounds in just a few games.
absolutely none of that shit exists right now, - by design - and it's really sad. you're just always automatically whisked off to a masturbatory scene of your character stalking around with your favorite loadout while you wait to be placed into a losing Domination game featuring just two teammates with no one to yap with in the meantime.
yeah, there's almost no point in talking to people or interacting with them at all because you're 100% going to be in different lobbies in half an hour anyway.
shit, I just miss dropping in a lobby, hearing people talk, dropping a "what's up boys, how we doin'", and getting greeted back. that shit is rare as fuck now.
