What a drive-by shitpost
AW was fine and an improvement, both mp and sp.
Don't understand why people feel the need to enter into cod topics and expect something different. It's COD for a reason
Wow.. Idk how ppl can post such things. What makes it so "Horrific"? I honestly have fun playing it. I don't like a few things in terms of movement and weapons but that's about all I can think of without searching for all the things wrong with it. When I don't need to in order to enjoy what the game has to offer.
Btw, Zombies is really good and I'm a veteran playing the nazi zombies modes since WaW.
I have to agree with him. I've put 1,000+ hours into each CoD game as I buy the title for each platform in order to play with friends who do not own more than one gaming console. In the case of CoD4 and MW2, my favorite in the series, it was between 2-3K hours as that is ALL we played. That stopped with AW and since purchasing it on launch, I never touched it after Christmas. Furthermore, for the first time ever I traded in a game with the pure intent and hope it would be mass circulated second-hand for cheap so the developer didn't get a fucking penny more.
The SP was fantastic and I enjoyed it, but the exo survival was boring, brainless and took absolutely no challenge. I gave up on the game before the Zombies DLC dropped, so I can't comment on that mode.
The MP? Oh boy, where do I begin:
- The worst maps in the history of CoD due to the overabundance of verticality. Ghosts' maps weren't all that great; its maps weren't bad because they were actually bad, they were bad because they were too large, broke pacing and had no hot/conflict spots. The maps in AW just have no personality, and nothing was done to account for exos aside from add another half a dozen entrances into every room from multiple layers/levels
- The most extreme implementation of SBMM ever introduced into a game, designed to protect new and casual players while punishing experienced players. Don't get me wrong, I love a close and the occasional diehard try-hards that keep you on your toes, but I don't want that experience 24/7. It's like that twilight zone episode where the guy is in Vegas and can never lose, only win - the same results consistently will only produce boredom.
- SBMM took priority over ping and location...
- A shady and serversmessage about the use of dedicated servers which actually turned out to be a mix of listening service, with players quickly discovering more than half of all games played were P2P and unbalanced lag compensation.
- Widely unbalanced weapons which took months to address
- The most boring killstreaks since Ghosts
- Hands down the worst spawning system in CoD, which was only compounded by exo movements
- Jankiest netcode in the series, likely due to Exos
