14gb........ i'll leave it downloading overnight...
Anyone that has played the last few CODs, does it feel normal to you?
This year's is really no different. I admit I barely played last year's game though. I played three rounds of this beta. It's Call of Duty. SMGs and snipers still reign supreme. Anything but the DM/TDM modes are pretty much dead already. It took me over five minutes for the game to find enough players for me to play one round of the War mode yesterday evening. Speaking of that mode, there's a map for that mode (the only one for the beta?) that has a nearly unwinnable second objective if you're on the attacking side. It's just downright terrible when you have these kind of objective modes when the spawns are 15 feet away at all times and the maps are the size of doll houses.
How can a game which has been using the same ultra modified and optimized engine since 1980, that looks significantly worse, has barely any physics involved, and has ridiculously smaller maps perform considerably worse than BF1 does?!?!
COD MW from 10 years ago had better animations than this... Even counting that they are still using half of the same ones.
And when I saw that "press v for bayonet charge" and saw that silly animation... Is it just me or it felt like an afterthought?
I also haven't played COD since MW2, and the maps feel way faster and smaller and rounder than I remember. It's like they just decided to design all mas after Nuketown. In just half of a match you already learn the whole map. Why do they still even bother putting snipers in the game? There is like zero long range engagement opportunities. Its for the 360 no scopes and the quick-scoping? I guess I just suck at them
