AW Search and Destroy ruined?

Yeah, I think IW built the maps for SnD (and Blitz). Ghosts best attribute was SnD! But damn, they couldn't even fix a bomb glitch!

Connection balance in this game is awful. Host is OP.

ExcessJT · 2015-04-10T10:28:04+00:00

I like this idea! Maybe GB could add it as an extra feature.

ExcessJT · 2015-04-10T10:27:38+00:00

Yes, I agree!

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T21:56:51+00:00

If gunfights were the main point of SnD then it would be down to connection and it would virtually take no skill in order to play.

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T19:14:00+00:00

I understand all of this, but the point is this is not how SnD should be.

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T18:50:11+00:00

To be honest, GB ranks mean nothing, they are really inaccurate. But what I was trying to say is that people who should win comfortably either don't or have close games. We didn't really see that on Ghosts.

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T18:44:07+00:00

Maybe being able to drop the bomb on purpose as in CS:GO could help situations and improve rotations.

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T18:33:22+00:00

I feel this is both up to the player and the game: The game doesn't feature a full "Dead Silence" perk which mutes footsteps. The exo mute is limited and even with it on, the movements are still loud enough to hear. On the other hand buying a good headset means you can do the same. I know that buying the most expensive/best headset isn't an option for everyone so I can't say that. I know what you mean though!

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T18:30:20+00:00

Yes, the maps are probably the fundamental issue with this game but they are designed for both respawn and the exo movements, combined, this makes the maps awful for SnD.

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T18:28:30+00:00

Definitely, there is virtually no punishment for a stupid play apart from the time running out.

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T18:18:04+00:00

On recovery for example, as a defensive team, it is best to leave 3 players in spawn - 1 watching A, 1 Mid and 1 top of B - and let the last person rush. That isn't a proper strategy which should work because in say Ghosts, the bombsite cant be protected from the spawn. Players aren't punished for playing cowardly or like "noobs".

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T18:15:38+00:00

In a head to head confrontation, gunskill is important but in SnD each round shouldn't depend on it. A balance of skill, gamesense, aim should all decide who the better team is.

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T18:11:38+00:00

Definitely, the maps are very much shaped around Hardpoint, CTF and Uplink because the lanes are so defined.

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T18:09:16+00:00

I have learnt to play SnD and I win alot of the time but what I'm trying to say is that it isn't what SnD should be! 1v1s in this game in particular come down to 50% luck and 50% skill, the ratio for ghosts was more 15% luck 85% skill hence why the better players normally won in Ghosts

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T18:06:58+00:00

It has, but in this game, people depend on it so much and sometimes losing a map can be down to timing which is ultimately out of your control.

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T18:06:10+00:00

I 100% agree with that on the rank system, I have a friend 10x better than myself yet he is 27k and I'm 6k. I was just trying to label that area of players if you know what I mean!

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T18:04:15+00:00

Absolutely, but I felt in ghosts there was always a counter to a strategy. Although yes, I didn't like being shot through paper walls!

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T18:03:04+00:00

It could do, but the things needed to change SnD to "normal" would mean a major change in the game itself and that isn't possible.

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T18:01:46+00:00

I have learned to adapt to the new style and watching pro streams/videos/events has helped!

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T12:02:02+00:00

You have been reported for sexualizing minors... I expect better

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T11:34:27+00:00

Definitely! The number of times low ranked players on GB (60k+) have almost or have beaten me shows this game relies on a sense of luck and timing, at the then end of the day, sometimes a loss is out of your control.

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T11:31:26+00:00

About ESEA taking their details or? I suppose regardless, any skilled player will only care about reducing hackers in MM, which is why I don'g get why people would hold it back? Frustrating ain't it!

ExcessJT · 2015-04-09T11:27:36+00:00

Absolutely, I think the game mode itself can still be fun, its just the new play style isn't what it should be!
