Nuked

My thoughts on MW4 so far: 1.) The maps are awful. They’re all a convoluted mess of doors, windows, and dozens of spots to cross over to different lanes. Don’t get me wrong, I think they look beautiful, but they need to have flow. 2.) The spawns are too inconsistent. Because spawns are so heavily dependent on players’ cones of visibility now, it seems like anytime you reposition to keep watch of enemies coming from their spawn, they just flip to a different spot. By the time you look to the new spot, they flip again. Then repeat this… every single game. Spawn trapping is annoying, but similarly balanced teams should theoretically be able to break out of spawn traps. 3.) The weapon and gunsmith design is pretty awesome, but almost every attachment has a bunch of cons. I would rather attachments be balanced by increasing or decreasing how much they benefit players rather than providing one or two significant benefits and then one or two massive cons. 4.) Sniper flinch sucks. Re-chamber and firing stability sucks. Recoil sucks. These snipers could be awesome, but it’s so inconsistent and unsatisfying. 5.) Sniper variety is great in this game. I love variety of optics and all the different one shot guns to choose from. I would like to see increased Vulcan fire rate though just to match the fast TTK of this game. Otherwise, most snipers are just going to spam marksman rifles. 6.) ADS movement speed and Strafing speed needs to be faster. Movement overall is great, and it feels grounded. The strafing speeds are so slow though that it feels like I have to flick 90* to the side to move to the side at all. 7.) Too many game modes. If all the casuals click random featured game modes, classic modes like Hardpoint and domination just get a butt load of sweats lol. 8.) 10v10. Nuff said. Ground war is too big. 6v6 is too slow. Give us our chaos. 9.) SBMM. I don’t even want to argue about this. It makes it feel unrewarding to be a good player. How can a good player play casually if they’re forced to play sweats every game? It’s like playing ranked but without the reward. Team balancing is supposed to balance the skill gap in each lobby. I’m not sure what else to list. MW4 has a lot of great features, but it gets annoying to snipe on after a while because I feel constantly disadvantaged and can’t get into any sort of steady flow. 30 seconds between gunfights, but they’re over in 350ms lol.
