Lol, I knew they'd have to fuck around with the game somehow. It's the problem of a long-standing series and creatives wanting to put their unnecessary twist on things or trying to fix a non-issue (obvious to all of us that DO play the game). What these idiots don't understand is that their playerbase doesn't care if they are served the same damn game at it's core, just freshen it up with new maps, guns, and unlockables for the yearly grind. I'm surprised there isn't a "Ten CoDmandments" in CoD studios, yet, with the top one to leave the minimap the fuck alone... yet every other CoD game tries to do something different with it or remove it altogether only to put it back.
I mean, imagine going to your fast food restaurant and every other year they remove the classic meals that everyone expects, without telling you. You ask them about it and they go "because we want your tastebuds to explore something different"... sorry CoD, but people aren't going to you guys for fresh ideas, like it or not you are the (delicious) junk food of the gaming industry - quit being selfish and serve the people what they want. Yeah, you can try out new things on the side, but you don't change the sauces. Just stop it.
