Not even close.

This game has a bigger skill gap than MW3. The only decent thing about MW3 was specialist. AW has a better campaign, co-op [both were mediocre though], and multiplayer. MW3 was a shytty version of MW2. MW3 has probably the most bullshyt of any COD. Stuff like akimbo FMG9s [one of the most over-powered weapons in COD history], death streaks [rewarding terrible players ], quickscoping [QSing was super over-powered and easy], getting constantly one-bursted by the Type-95, and knifing was a joke. AW is easily better than MW3.

You can't do this in AW



Gun on gun/killstreaks is what COD is about and AW lacks both. Yeah MW3 had a lot of flaws (some were patched) but AW will be dead in a few months. Not to mention these last 2 games have alienated the community. A lot of big name youtubers aren't even touching this. COD is failing and this is what they give us? This jumping shyt is just a gimmick and does nothing to push the series in the right direction. Even one of the developers said they want to do a WWII COD.

I would much rather have under-powered scorestreaks [AW] than OP killstreaks [MW3]. Since there is less scorestreaks in AW, there is more gun-on gun action. AW is gun on gun + EXO movement, therefore a bigger skill gap. Are you saying BO2 alienated the community? That game had a ton of people playing it throughout the Ghosts cycle. There is still a bunch of people playing BO2. Most 'big-name youtubers' will tell you this is a better game than MW3. The EXO movement is something new and different, adds a whole new dynamic to COD. MW3 was a poor man's MW2.

MW3 was a poor man's MW2, same game, only worse.

Under-powered scorestreaks? AW's scorestreaks have no power at all. They barely have an effect on the game. You gotta raise the point total high and when you call it in it gets 2 kills because the perk system is so bad people run Blind Eye by default. I don't even run Blind Eye anymore because no one can get scorestreaks. BO probably had the best killstreaks. Only the Blackbird was fearsome but a CUAV could negate it. Dogs you could kill or get to an elevation. Choppers could be shot down.

AW's gun on gun is the worst yet. You can't run into a crowd of enemies and mow them down with gun skill. What is so exciting about picking people off from ledges and rooftops? People using the same 5 guns every game.

BO2 didn't alienate the community they embraced it (too much so) by giving you big scorestreaks to get big kd games. Most big name youtubers are not uploading much AW content if at all. No one wants to see a 55-32 gameplay. Every time I play ground war everyone has struggle numbers. Nobody's beasting.

EXO movement is a gimmick. COD was declining and they were looking for a way to bring some excitement back. They saw Titanfall's mobility and said, that's what we need to do. It adds a new element but subtracts what people loved about COD.

The thing is ppl love crazy ass KS. Thats what makes COD fun(or use to). There was no greater feeling then getting a pavelow, harrier strike, or AC-130 and raping. It seems like the developers outside of Treyarch fail to realize this and are making the KS very underwhelming in order to placate noobs who can't get them. As far as the comparison between this and MW3, its to early to tell. The only thing wrong with MW3 was lots of ppl rocking assassin, the first major instance of lag comp, and the support streak BS(worst addition in COD history. There is no reason that someone going 14-17 should get a stealth bomber, which usually change the outcome of a round) MW3 was good, not MW2 good but good esp with the patches. And thats what I am waiting for with SHG, because how they patch and fix this game will be key. I think ppl are giving them the benefit of the doubt because the new ness of the gameplay and mechanics are still strong, because honestly if the exo movements were not in the game, it would be ghost 2.0. (Play classic) But there are a lot of flaws in this game, moreso then any other edition. Which really is unacceptable considering the 3 year cycle and how condrey was bragging at tradeshows saying the game was complete and they are just waiting. But yea if they don't fix
1) the connection issues
2)balance the weapons,
3)fix this fukking reload glitch(I can't count the number of times I was about to get a bomber run/warbird but I'm tossing mags even tho I never speed reload)
4)amplify footsteps,
5)fix these prestige glitches
6) The extreme short multi kill window. Its damn near impossible to get double/triple kills, which are needed for camos(which also need to be revamped. Some of the requirements are insane)
7) Fix the spawns(FFA, momentum, uplink, etc are unplayable right now. I found out if you take a step back after spawning in FFA, a sec later someone might spawn right in front of you )
8) Raise the tag limit in KC, tickets in TDM, etc
ppl will drop this game quick. Theres a lot of heat coming out all year(not just in the fall, Im talking about Feb) and ppl wont put up with this

I also have a sneaky feeling that most of the playtesting was done by MLG players/youtubers. There is no reason why some of these weapons are this weak. We all know those guys stick to one or two weapons.

It was. I can't remember his name but an MLG guy worked with SHG. MLG players are probably less than 1% of COD but the games are putting a focus on them.

Yes you can. It's more difficult than before, but you can still get double/triple/multi-kills. Once players master the movement, you will see people beasting.

Did you play MW3? We had lobbies full of people running around with akimbo FMG9s as primaries. And you want to talk about people using the same guns.

BO2 didn't alienate the community they embraced it (too much so) by giving you big scorestreaks to get big kd games. Most big name youtubers are not uploading much AW content if at all.

First of all, why in the world would you play ground war on this game? This game is hectic 6v6, now imagine 9v9.

Look at the gameplay I posted above. I went 39-12 and I didn't picked people off from ledges and rooftops at all. Not saying it was anything special, but that video shows you that it's not hard to do well in this game. I see a bunch of big youtubers uploading AW content, are you trying to purposely avoid their uploads or some shyt.

This game was over a year into development when information started to come out about Titanfall. Any similarities between the two is very likely just a coincidence. Not only that, the only similarity between this game and Titanfall is the movement and even that is just somewhat similar. Any futuristic shooter is going to have similar movement to Titanfall and AW. Also, AW definately has that COD feel.

People are never satisfied:
- COD keeps the same formula 'Hey look it's the same game as last year. They don't change or add anything major.'
- AW brings in major change to the COD franchise : 'AW is copying Titanfall, this doesn't feel like COD, change back to old formula.'

Actually, MLG players prefer a variety of weapons. I know MLG players played the game early [as did some Youtubers], but only a couple of months early.

MLG players want what any avid COD fan wants. A fun, fair, competitive and balanced game. The focus that is put on them is not much.
