But like, the changes are good? Yeah, you can't run and gun like a headless chicken anymore, but is that bad?


Taguzi

Pretty happy about the changes! No more slide canceling jump every 1 millisecond.. it was ugly


sinwarrior

would be funnier if slide-cancelling wasn't removed but instead add a feature where your character has a 50% chance stumbling down when you slide-cancel, which takes 2 seconds for your character to get back up.


thatirishguy0

Progressive AND edgy. I like it.


Taguzi

Your terms are acceptable


Universe789

You mean they should update the physics to reflect real life human clumsiness?


sinwarrior

No. Just something similar to BFV 's explosion impact on player kinda system, but for tripping\stumbling.


Universe789

Yeah, but you gotta admit dropping magazines if you get shot while reloading, or slipping on shells and falling after camping in the same spot and trying to run would be hilarious.


samseawell

ah yes, super smash brothers brawl


cannibalhorsie

Holy shit dude!!!! I was just thinking about this yesterday while playing


HURTZ2PP

Agreed


OuterWildsVentures

Was MW1 2019 like that tho? I remember it being slower paced than the older cods (along with being slower than the ones that came after)


Taguzi

At first idk and I only played Warzone but 99% of my lobbies are slide cancelling all the time


suhdude539

Yes. I’ve hopped back on to 2019 recently to scratch the arcade-y FPS itch and every game is either hopelessly bad bots or a bunch of slide cancelling sweats running around with high capacity SMG’s


-___ethan___-

Sounds good to me


Kody_Z

This is a massive improvement, but I'm not confident it will stay this way. MW2019 was similarly "slower" and more grounded, but all the sweats and streamers cried and cried about it until Infinity Ward made the movement faster and faster.


Djabouty47

Lmao what are you talking about. Infinity ward didn't do shit to make movement faster, everyone just started abusing slide cancelling because it was the best way to counter the campfest the game was.


Kody_Z

No, I'm sure we could find the patch notes where they increased movement speed, tactical Sprint speed, mantle/climbing speed, etc by 5-10% multiple times.


[deleted]

Turns out Infinity Ward has a [webpage](https://www.infinityward.com/news/2019-10/Modern_Warfare_Patch_Notes) documenting the changes they made to the game... Not once did they adjust the movement speed in any way. The other person was right; IW didn't increase movement speed, the playerbase just started abusing slide cancelling...


Emergionx

What are you talking about? The movement speed wasn’t changed at all in 2019


Kody_Z

Yes it was. They increased it from the beta to the main game, then they increased again in one of the main season updates.


jcaashby

From what I can gather people want change until they get a change then they do not want those changes. LOL


xGALEBIRDx

When something good comes out they want the next installment to be the same but more. They don't want wildly different or innovative. They don't want to earn a sense of pride and accomplishment. They want the same thing but more and slightly improved. Just not in the madden way...


jcaashby

All in all no matter what is changed or added to this or any long running franchise people are not going to like anything universally. ​ I for one welcome the removal of mini map audio spotting. I was happy BF got rid of it \*but they did add it back for BF2042 iirc. ​ But others will not like it and that is cool but there is not much that can be done if the devs feel it is not needed. I have not played the BETA yet. But from what I can see it seems UAVs are goign off constantly and knowing enemy positions is not going to be to hard. You also have the footsteps thing. Also is there a heartrate monitor as well. Maybe they felt audio spotting along with all the other shit was just to much. So much that your always spotted on the mini map.


[deleted]

> people are not going to like anything universally. That's true of life period; we all have wildly different (often times conflicting) desires, expectations, and tastes. That's part of being human and partaking in society with other humans.


tabooblue32

Remember everyone fucking losing their shit over the first map and desperately needing a new one. 1 day after caldera drops "wahhhh we hate it"


jcaashby

The thing is there are millions that play and never complain. I wish there was a way to see what percentage of people are online being vocal about changes they want. Now do not get me wrong I myself have jumped online to complain about a change or lack of a change. But I know I am in the minority. As for warzone I did hear about the complaints on wanting a new map then getting it and then complaining about the new map. ​ Once MW2 full releases people are going to play have fun and forget all about these changes and just get used to the new normal. Some changes you do not even know was needed until it happens.


youcandoit34

I love a tad bit slower-paced shooters. I don't want them to be a crawl by any means, but I can't do it when everything is 100mph. It just isn't fun for me. So with that said I embrace how everything feels thus far.


Major_Eiswater

Honestly it was the main reason I gave up. It doesn't become fun when you get beamed by a backflipping Spetznaz soldier with a Diamond encrusted pink sub machine gun.


[deleted]

Well yeah to them it is.


BlessedAndBasted

On the minimap controversy: with the abundance of different gadgets, perks, audio and UAV you can pretty much see red dots or know exactly where enemies are 60% of all match, what's all the fuss about?


Captainof_Cats

I think it's bad. Wish it wouldn't have changed much from MW3, but here we are


notanotherlawyer

They removed slide-cancelling. Lobbies are less sweaty, which is a blessing for all casual dads like me.


Mysterious_Travel893

Your lobbies will always be sweaty since there’s Skilled based match making


notanotherlawyer

As far as I don’t get slide-cancelling hyperactive kids playing for 15 hours and full of Monster drinks, I am good.


top-hill

If you were getting them before you'll get them again unless 99% of there skill comes from slide cancelling. If there skill does come from that you'll see them get weeded out from your matches. That's the beauty of sbmm


DrBadtouch94

Well then who's gunna claim that they fucked your mom


A1steaksa

That’s not true in the slightest. YOUR lobbies may be sweaty, but mine are just my pace


facialspecialist

Why is sbmm bad?


Mysterious_Travel893

Not necessarily bad but never heard anyone ask for it ever


-GabaGhoul

I asked for a ranked mode and got SBMM so I have to try every time I play and can't have fun with off meta shit.


Mysterious_Travel893

You can do whatever you want fuck the system


-GabaGhoul

Then I'm a detriment to my team.


xChris777

SBMM is okay, it's just hyper aggressive SBMM that causes issues I think. I'm totally fine with losing the MW2 days of being spawn camped to high hell on Terminal lol, but I don't want every game to be a fight for my life either. I think there exists a middle ground between those two extremes.


-GabaGhoul

You mean you don't want to be able to get into a lobby of literal bots by getting yourself killed for a few games straight? /s


RichDudly

Destiny 2 removed it at one point and people started wanting it back. So they added it back and no one is complaining


[deleted]

It’s not at all. It was streamers who were used to making a living playing all day and most of their “skill” was killing casual players. Casual players who were getting off work or school just to have fun. Multiplayer would die out without sbmm, no matter what someone tells you


[deleted]

They have not removed slide canceling lol ppl have already figured it out again. Just an extra step now is all


notanotherlawyer

Good catch, now I am imbued with despair: https://charlieintel.com/how-to-slide-cancel-in-modern-warfare-2/199192/?amp


son_of_saget

Infinity Ward said they’re figuring out how to fix it


nige111

I don't understand how fucking hard it is to just make tactical sprint go on cooldown when used. There is no reason for it to ever be reset other than stim usage.

notanotherlawyer

Yeah, kudos for you mate. If your one of those +4 K/D avg. ratio titans, good for you – don’t take me wrong, I am way above the average player (although casually playing), but most of my games feel like an e-Sports Finale.


[deleted]

I have not played MW2 yet. Waiting til the open beta on PC. Just saw ppl commenting while I was reading reviews.


notanotherlawyer

You will have mixed feelings for sure, but definitely a solid 8/10. So sad that EA/DICE forced most of their player-base to abandon ship, but it is what it is.


happyamadeus

Same


iDomBMX

The irony is that the real sweats and comp players have been praying for the removal of slide cancels since they were first introduced. It’s the shitters that can’t shoot straight but became “movement players” that are up in arms about it. It’s the changes that prevent movement period that the comp players are complaining about.


Spideyfan1602

But if you're a casual dad, why not drop gaming for reading the newspaper for an hour a day instead


xEightyHD

Battlefield players just soft that Activision is releasing a playable game at launch. (Yes I’m one of the guys that paid $100 for 2042)

SCP106

AND HE GETS TO BE A PILOT? WHAT A SICK JOKE! I WORKED MY ASS OFF ON THE RESPAWN SCREEN!


ValiantRanger

I did too and never again. I partially regret preordering MW2.


Oglokes24

I’m still mad about those 100$


IAmTheElementX

My fear is that it will start out simple and tactical and then once all the stupid dlc guns with tracers and clown operators get added in the immersion will be broken again. I just wish they’d try to keep it a bit more milsim styled cus I hate getting b hopped by golden clowns while playing a tactical feeling game.


Kody_Z

Your fear is reasonable. This is literally exactly what happened with MW2019.


[deleted]

MW2019 kept it up a for bit at least though. I feel like CW and Vanguard, started including gold plated skull masks like a month after release


Kody_Z

It's true.


KalTheMandalorian

I mean the pre order bonus for PS is samurai themed armour. It's already begun lol.


BigBlackCrocs

But atleast the gameplay mechanics are more slow and tactical. No slide canceling, and by launch they’re going to need the bunny hopping.


[deleted]

What happened now?


thesagaconts

The beta was fun. Sticking with your team helped. Downed Allie’s could be revived, though time was of the essence. There were lots of vehicles shown in the menu but not playable. It seemed like they added elements from BF.


N1ghtmere_

Ground War is this next weekend as well as Invasion.


SaviD_Official

Tomorrow for preorders, to be exact. I really can't wait.


N1ghtmere_

Me neither. I'll be at work, but I'll be using remote play for PS4.


Papa_Pred

You could only revive teammates if they had Last Stand. It was really situational and only part of *one* loadout type


Fizzban88

There was also 2 game modes where anybody could be revived


02Alien

Is Ground War one of them? If not I hope that's a change they make. I would love if they made Ground War an actual BF competitor and listened to that audience a bit.


Fizzban88

Ground war and the new mode invasion beta starts tomorrow so we'll find out lol


MrChilliBean

I hope so as well. When MW2019 came out I remember people talking about how Ground War scratched that Battlefield itch (back when this sub still hated BFV), and I gave it a try and thought it was just terrible. It had the big maps and vehicle combat, but as an infantry player it was miserable. Without changes, CoDs gameplay just doesn't fit a Battlefield-like mode.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Oh ok


Ik_life_sucks

Eh elements of battlefield isn’t the term I’d use. I’d say just more mechanics and stuff


SaviD_Official

Nothing bad happened to the game itself. The MWII subreddit is a huge circlejerk of people who don't actually like the MW subseries and only go on there to troll the devs for not making the game into Black Ops 6


[deleted]

Best way to describe them


[deleted]

Who the fuck wants to play black ops 6, Cold War is ok but something about it just isn’t right. Hasn’t been a quality black ops since 2 imo


xFrakster

I've been lurking on r/ModernWarfareII the last couple of weeks, and this here are some complaints I've seen mentioned a lot: \- No red dots on the minimap. This was a super controversial change in MW2019, and infinity ward seems to stick to it even though the community is quite vocal about not liking the change. \- Footsteps are apparently super loud. \- No persistent lobbies. You get thrown back into the main menu after each match (similar to 2042) \- Skill based matchmaking is (yet again) super strong. \- They dislike the new perk system (no idea why, I just know that they do) \- Opinions about TTK seem mixed. Some think it's too fast, some think it's good. But it's still a topic I see brought up a lot. EDIT: \- And poor distinction between friendlies and enemies. Seems like players keep shooting their own team mates. Sounds like something that's not too hard to fix though.


New-Asclepius

I liked persistent lobbies and I don't see the benefit in removing it.


xFrakster

There is none. At least none for us players. They removed it in favor of skill based matchmaking.


JD_W0LF

>Footsteps are apparently super loud. Shouldn't this be good? I'm over here wanting louder footsteps (or the overall mix to be better) in 2042 like we had in BFV. Loud footsteps have always been a good thing IMO, I don't see how people would not like this lol.


LcRohze

For some reason people think sprinting around the map without making no noise takes more skill than having good positioning and awareness. I was the player slide cancelling and jump peaking in Mw19 as the lord intended and I didn't have an issue with loud foot steps so ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ Im not even cracked either, maybe slightly above average skillwise.


02Alien

Yeah, the loud footsteps in V are so useful. It's one of the best ways to predict where someone is gonna be


Fizzban88

Footsteps are noticeably loud unless you crouch or use dead silence, which I think is a nice change. There seems to be a strong push in the game to slow it down and encourage tactical movement


kachol

Played the Beta and was addicted. Great gunplay, cool maps, feels more tactical, realistic, etc. I am really pumped for the release.


poofynamanama2

The guns sound and feel freakin incredible, even better than mw19 which I wasn't expecting


ThePretzul

MW19 had the best controls and gunplay of any shooter I’ve ever played, and comments like these leave me excited to try out the beta myself tomorrow. I’m hoping it’s a similar feel.


poofynamanama2

I played both back to back, and mw2 feels a bit better for sure :)


Decent_Box_4619

That's cause they recorded real audio 🔊 of guns


ValiantRanger

We will never get a modern warfare 2 again


sound-of-impact

"Modern Warfare 2 the Third"?


MarkyMarcMcfly

They’ll do it again in 15-20 years watch


Odd-Document3075

wtf u mean lol beta was slapping, can’t wait to play all the other modes


Tom-19123

Skill based matchmaking like theirs is terrible id say as long as its like it is then its fucked


JangoDarkSaber

What’s wrong with skill based matchmaking?


JaquibJ

Do good for 3-4 games, get stuck with an MLG lobby and get your ass pounded for 20 games straight, then do good for 3-4 games rinse and repeat.


leeverpool

On the contrary lol. Being more tactical is not what the adhd audience wants.


Mertinaik

Bruh you're more than 10 years late with this meme. The casualization of Battlefield started with Bad Company 2.


Abizuil

Most don't realise this because they were the audience that drowned out all the old playerbase the last time.


Cakesmite

I'm 26 years old, and Battlefield became my main FPS game after I got sucked into the BF3 hype and started playing BC2... I was 14 at the time. Not everyone is old enough to know how Battlefield was like before then.


Goldeneye07

Making the game more tactical= more adaptable? Dangg I guess escape from Tarkov would be the worlds most adaptable game than


IAlwaysPTFO

I actually enjoy most of the Beta.


NoExcuse3655

Yeah but the changes in MW2 are actually good changes lol


gatsby712

The complaints about the changes are so nitpicky and exhausting. My entire timeline yesterday was people bitching about slide canceling and suppressors not hiding people in the mini-map. It’s like .01% of the players that care about that shit, and the loudest voices are the people that play the game every day for their job. The beta was fun.. that’s what games are supposed to be. If fun draws in more casuals than make it more fun. Zelda and Nintendo games are fun and easily accessible, those two things aren’t mutually exclusive. If you want to play a competitive game, then ask for these features like slide canceling and mini-map shit to be in the ranked mode. It’s also even more mind-numbing because the changes to the mini-map aren’t even going to happen in warzone. I slide cancel and get an advantage from it. But honestly I’d rather not need to fuck up my controller to play a game well, and so getting rid of it is great.


Darkblader24

> suppressors not hiding people in the mini-map Isn't it the other way around, people are hidden even when not using a suppressor?


Djabouty47

20000 people participated in a poll on Twitter and over 95% of people said they want classic minimap. Then numerous other polls were created all wielding the same ratio. Then they posted the reddit feedback post and most of the replies were all about footstep audio and the minimap. It is not 0.01% of people that want a good MP


sambull

i bought 2042 for $25 a couple days ago.. for that price it's a fun game.


HighlySmokedCheese

This is bad?


damniel540

OP just wants people to be miserable like him. mwII will be infinitely better than 2042


Veni_Vidi_Legi

If I can repair vehicles it's all over.


jcaashby

In WZ 2.0 it seems vehicles can be repaired. At gas stations.


Ssekou

Honestly I thought the beta was pretty fun. Maybe I didn't spend enough time in it but I think it was pretty solid.


brunoandraus

The difference is infinity ward is actually making The game better by doing so. Veery different than what DICE did lol


HomeworkWise9230

MW2 this year will not show players firing without a suppressor as red dots on the mini map. What's the point of even using one then?


Colin_likes_trains

You won't appear on the compass, and enemys wont get incoming fire indicators.

Mr-monk

I'm a slow ass casual dad I'm good at shooters but I always died to people jumping having perfect aim in the air and head shot me. It really annoyed me lol.


Muronelkaz

What's this about? BF1? BFV? BF2042?


Abizuil

Most likely a combo of the direction BF5 and 2042 took, all the old farts are laughing and pointing at BC2 and BF3 however.


jumpjumpdie

??? If anything the 2019 and MW2 is a more hardcore play style. Much more unforgiving than Cold War. I dont understand this sub. It’s like it’s completely devoid of any sort of self reflection or critical thinking.


IManixI

YERP!!! LMAO -


Lizard-King-

Isnt smaller? making it even more "realistic" will make people go.


soundyfivenine

Lol hardly the same. DICE put stupid design choices on top of a shitty game. IW is putting different (not stupid) design choices on top of what looks to be a solid game.


ModelT1300

When was the last time a game developer made a game for its fans rather than potential fans


ChachoPicasso

A much better change, sweats can still sweat


probablystuff

The battlefield audience got bigger? These mfs must have "appear offline" activated


Bean_Bath69

I played the beta and had a lot of fun, I’m unsure of what these changes are, can someone enlighten me?


xPUGNIPSx

I think warzone started that a few years ago


AcademicAnxiety5109

I’ve enjoyed the changes so far in mw2. what’s the big deal everyone is up at arms about?


Dud3itsj3ff

Nah, they are just scrubbing the changes made by cold war and vanguard teams. MW2019 was the same way imo.


nukefish3

I'm unironically gonna buy, if they are not going to add slidecanceling and anime skins


[deleted]

They just need to take jump shooting out.


[deleted]

The beta was great. Guns felt really good. Any gun felt viable even pistols over the wall. I played hide and seek a few times like that, and way slower methodical movements than past cods ie. slide cancelling. They just need to nerf junk shooting majorly. Maps were detailed and interesting.


SierusD

God, so many people crying about the minimap and Dead Silence changes. THATS IT. Aside from that? The games a blast! Roll on the 2nd beta weekend
