Update: At prestige 2. The game is soooo bad. Hey you have a sniper gun and you sorta fire in someone’s direction : ONE HIT KILL! The spawn killing is just nuts. You kill guy 1, guy 2, then guy 1 is back in the same battle before you can even reload. The spawning is bs. Then it’s just die, grenade spam, die, repeat. The worst grenade spamming I’ve ever seen besides Lockers/Subway on BF4.
Original:
I’m still playing and up to level 35. Battle.net client sure hid where to find it. They wanted you to click “Call of Duty” to even find it.
We have to contractually release a COD, so here’s our release that technically is a COD game and will generate money. haha
This game is pretty terrible. It’s better than COD: Cold War but it just makes me want to go back and play more COD MW. MW was way better and it’s 5+ years old now or whatever. Solid 6/10. It’s fun to play but you know the game sucks. Luckily I got it free. haha
Tons of errors
Lots of crashes joining the game or falling out of the game for days. You then have to rejoin the queue to launch your game.
Characters / Operators are shit.
Worst choices I’ve ever seen. Everyone is running around with ONE guy with a beard. The starting guy I think. haha. The female selection is really bad and woke as expected. The new dynamic for DEI video game companies is to NEVER give you a hot girl to pick ever again. You get grizzled nasty looking women you’d never want to select or be with physically. Beauty has been canceled by the entertainment industry. That’s why people go back to OLD game and old TV/Movies.
As it unlocks characters, some really stand out on the map making you a huge target which isn’t desirable. Red hair guy with blue outfit. That’s easy to find.
They also look ridiculous. One character is this robot/zombie guy running around. It makes the game feel fake.
The UI is the worst I’ve ever seen.
Challenges are getting to your loadouts, trying to modify them. Trying to select them during a match or before a match starts. It’s like they fired all the UI people 6 years ago and farmed it out to upwork. These people have zero idea how to make a UI or UI flow. They probably didn’t even list it out in prototyping or a whiteboard.
Hit registration is terrible.
I’m just spamming bullets in the general direction and getting kills. You know a game sucks if I’m doing top 3 at it. My aim is total shit but I’m getting kills left and right. Double kills, triple kills. You watch the replay of a sniper and they didn’t even remotely hit a person’s head but get a kill. It’s the Overwatch, hey let’s hold the left mouse button and now you’re a top player dynamic.
Zero Death Penalty
You just hit F, then respawn and it usually puts you back in the SAME FUCKING FIGHT you just died out of or a very short run. You can then kill the person that just killed you. It’s pretty frustrating because you’ll clear an area then the whole team spawns behind you and kills you. The spawn rate is just way too fast. It makes it more action oriented but it feels really cheap.
Annoying: Kill Cam
It wants to show you a whole kill cam everytime you are killed which you have to jam F to skip through and get back to the action. Rarely do you give a shit about who killed you or why.
FFA mode as default?
They give you 9 modes that you can TURN off in your filtering. So turn off FFA for sure. So stupid. I dont’ know why that FPS mode just keeps showing up when it should have died back in 1996.
Positives
Pretty addicting
I play/ed for 4-6 hours in a row. It just makes me want to play more old COD MW or Hardline though.
Maps are great!
The maps look pretty amazing and well done. A few have some cool 1990s songs. They get pretty repetitive though.
Nice popups when you kill people
You get some satisfaction from killing people as things pop up as rewards.
Nice Progression UI/listings
They do a great job of showing you what you unlock for leveling up and showing you what you’ll get. Of course now getting to those items in the terrible UI is a problem. haha.
