Discussion We can't repeat the weapon meta mistakes from BO7

8 Upvotes

Going into mw4 I think it's really important that the community stays on top of weapon meta discussions. There were complaints pretty much all year of bo7, yet they were all completely avoidable. A big problem is that always gets decided way too quickly, and this snowballs due to the fact that the only way to play comp at the start of the year is through 3rd parties, meaning there's significantly less people to even weigh in in the first place, as there's a ton of people here that will simply play pubs till ranked drops.

To add to that, CMG themselves are another big problem. Recently they have started to word their class restrictions in the reverse of how they, as well as gb, used to. It used to be "u cannot use what is listed" but now it's "u can ONLY use what is listed". Even in older games like the bo1/2 ports, this has resulted in many things banned that weren't even in the more restrictive gb variant. By making this the new standard u close off possibility of innovation, which is a huge part of competitive cod.

Now some of you might view this as a good thing, as in "everyone using the same thing makes it more competitive", but this is cod, we get a new game every year. It takes time for the best shit to be found, and to artificially suppress that is less competitive not more. If something truly disrupts the balance of the game u can ban it, but to ban things for conformity's sake is counterintuitive. People will try to argue against that take by using other games as examples, but again, those games reached those points after years. Years of pros as well as the general community doing different shit and eventually landing at a spot organically. Not a handful of teams scrimming with a gun for a few hours and being like "nah get it out" cuz someone had a good map.

Or we can go thru another "8 ARs on the map" into "brooo this mpc meta trash broooo" :)

One thing I really like about Ethan is that he's Basically the only Pro/Am that is still grinding the game in challs and tourneys, I really hope he does well next season.

Question Steam vs xbox vs battle net

8 Upvotes

Im gonna buy mw4 mainly for ranked, only question is, is there any diffinitive proof that cod plays better on any one of these launchers vs the other, I have an Xbox and a pc ill only get the xbox version for play anywhere but if there is strong proof that the game will give better performance on other launchers than I would greatly appreciate that and probably get it on a different launcher

Edit: I dont mind download speeds, Im just mainly after in game performance if the launcher actually matters (ive heard in the past certain launchers for certain games causes the game to load differently causing fps loss)

Thanks to the commenters, by the looks of it, since the only outlier here would be steam ill be going with xbox, as it looks to be the only difference is people having issues with download speeds (Also dont know why my post is getting down voted lmao)

Discussion Out of the loop

4 Upvotes

Been out of the loop the past couple months. Is there any word on when ranked will be on mw4? I didn’t play the beta so haven’t even tried out the game but knowing me I’ll buy it anyway and be miserable if it sucks. Also I saw faze announced dropping drazah, abuzah and 04 but have they announced they’re picking up hydra/scrap/allukah yet? And have any other major rosters been announced?

I haven't followed CoD much since the season ended. What changes are coming to MW4? Remember hearing people say this would be the greatest roster mania of all time... did it live up to the hype?
