Anyone excited for BO6?

[p7NK]

Hardcore is just for people not good enough to handle TTK.

wtf is ttk

Wait, I thought Xdefiant was the new FPS shooter? COD is a thing again?

XD died in like a month. It's obvious from day one that its popularity was driven by paid shill content creators when it was all influencers saying "COD is back" when old school COD never had hero classes and super powers like turning invisible while playing a woman with vitiligo, and the main mode was payload escort issions like Overwatch. You could tell that anyone regurgitating those lines was an NPC without a single original thought. Doubly so when all the people that cried about SBMM in COD, went on to cry about how XD was still too sweaty.

Time to kill. Because hardcore is basically 1 shot to kill, it requires less skill because you can spray people without having to aim. It rewards slower and campier gameplay (aka phaggytime) and is usually filled with people that can't cope with the pace of the normal modes, nor the motor co-ordination to keep their aim on target for more than 0.25s. Normal promotes more aggressive and faster play, and you actually have to aim.

Didn't get a chance to play

Idk man to be honest I am not sure I even feel like going thru the install process and then looking up an iceman Isaac video settings tutorial (if you know you know lmao)

Then I gotta tune my mouse settings

Cod takes too much effort to get gud

And the weekend passed so everyone's prestige while I gotta go in there with my 0 attachment pea shooter

Good golly dude do you need to replace your keyboard after all that sweat?

Yeah but the difference between us is that I go 50-5 every round and maintain a 3-4 k/d. My keyboard and underwear generally need replacing often.

Nah jk I don't even play cod like that anymore. Tbh playing mp really doesn't require much, I used to do a ton of visual and settings tinkering for warzone though. It helped a lot for that game mode. Mp small maps usually run buttery smooth and I play on close to max settings anyways. Warzone ran like chit and the entire map looked washed out so various game settings and Nvidia color settings were really helpful.

This guy iceman Isaac was the go-to YouTuber who always made the settings videos everyone followed back in the war zone days

I see your point but nah hardcore is more skill. i go positive in both modes. i play pussy mode when im with the boyos because they don't like hardcore(no diddy)

If hardcore was "more skill", it would be the de facto mode for no-lifers in competitive CoD and high level play. It isn't.

This has been well established for two decades because it takes little skill being a spastic and sprayiing and praying and hoping that 1 bullet hits, vs actually aiming and having to hit somebody 4-6 times from 50m away. It exposes retards that can't aim when they get 180'd despite shooting first. Anyone can pistol pubstomp in hardcore and go 30-1, few people will do the same in vanilla.

You could legitimately have Parkinson's disease and a tremor worse than Mohammed Ali before he died, compounded by end-stage Cerebral Palsy, and still rack up kills in hardcore because you don't need to aim.

BO3 and BO4 were essentially hero shooters brah not sheriff srs

And COD is way more sweaty than XDefiant due to SBMM. XDefiant is almost too easy

That's why I said "old school COD". Unless you're a GenZ that grew up in the BO3 era (and have an irrelevant opinion on the matter of "old school"), old school COD means COD1-BO2. Advanced movement COD is Zoomer COD.

I've played COD every year since COD4 and BO3 was my fav COD so yeah I'm not a zoomer. Nothing will top it imo. It was the first COD with a real skill gap I took advantage of

I went from a 1.5k/d in WAW, MW, BO1 etc to a 2.3k/d in BO3

And that's where we get into opinion, and you're fine in having your own opinion about which is the best. And I can't disagree that advanced movement is another factor in creating a skill gap. The more tech a game has, the more a person has to learn in order to be 'competitive'

The advanced movement era is still not old school COD; that is a simple fact. Opinions do not change this.

This 100 percent.

Higher time to kill almost always relates to a higher skill gap.

When you pay hardcore you literally do not need to be able to track on a mouse/controller. It's meant for people who aren't good at aiming. It removes an entire aspect of being good at shooting games, tracking your enemy while he moves, with your cross hair.

It takes infinitely more skill to keep your cross hair on an enemy and track them thru a whole or half mag.

Hard core slows gameplay down and removes the need for good aiming.

Keep in kind the exo suit CODs are almost 10 years old at this point

Sure, that doesn't change that when most people think of classic COD, 99% of people think of military shooters from the golden and OG eras. When you think of COD, you think of a military shooter, not a hero shooter. Which is why the comparisons to XD as being "classic COD" were stupid.

Tell me, opinions about gameplay aside. Which COD games would be considered the most iconic if you were to ask 1000 people on the street out of: COD4, MW2, BO1, BO2, Advanced Warfare, Infinite Warfare, BO3, BO4. I can assure you that most people will be most nostalgic will pick games from the first four. Which games created the most cultural impact? Which style of games did Activision decide to go with in 2019 when they said that COD was "going back to its roots"?

If you break things down into eras, you get the modern era since MW19, the advanced movement era from 2014-2019, and the 'golden age' from COD4-BO2 (fuck Ghosts), and the OG in COD-COD3. When you consider this, advanced movement only 'finished' 5 years ago, when MW19 came out, it's still relatively modern and in recent memory. BO4 was still relatively popular after MW19's release because people didn't want to go back to boots on the ground and had high playercounts well into 2020. BO3 and BO4 still have relatively healthy playercounts of thousands compared to the much older CODs now. 5 years is not that long ago.

Idk man you're overthinking things. It's not that serious lol

I'm not a fan of the term Advanced movement as it doesn't categorize the games correctly. They're either Exosuit or boots on the ground. BO4 wasn't an exosuit game

[Tabris]

All good. I'm just old, and have been playing COD for a long time. So I don't think five years is a long time ago, personally. Not long enough to be considered "old school". Maybe in another few years when GenZs start hitting their 30s, and being get nostalgic about their childhoods, I'll start to agree with the idea that 7th generation console era games are "old school". I'd still consider Destiny modern games, despite Destiny 1 being a decade old and Destiny 2 being 7-years-old.
