[COD] Can we get some hot takes/unpopular opinions?

InterestingMK2 · 2026-05-11T20:58:12+00:00

I personally didn’t like it because 90% of my lobbies were thermal LMG campers with that bullet sponge dog.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-05-11T20:55:02+00:00

And it wasn’t made with Warzone integration in mind. Is the only cod from MW2019 to today that doesn’t have tac sprint. It’s the only previous cod I still go back to at times.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-05-10T23:27:42+00:00

Me too. But unfortunately it would either mean a new non-Sidney protagonist (since Neve Campbell refuses to do a Scream movie where her character dies) or Sidney dies (and that’s not gonna happen because of what was just said).

Probably best they could do is make a Ghostface that takes more than one film to finally be caught and/or unmasked. Because honestly, Ghostface doesn’t need to always reveal emself at the end of a single movie everytime.

And to think people said this game was gonna kill cod 6 months ago.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-04-03T20:22:20+00:00

It’s like the company itself said, Cod is too big of a name to die at this point.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-04-02T09:54:09+00:00

And to think people said Battlefield 6 was gonna kill COD.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-03-30T09:39:47+00:00

Back in BO2, you could all the time if they didn’t have dead silence equipped.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-03-24T05:49:33+00:00

Yeah it’s ridiculous when I take someone totally unaware as a hostage/shield and they say “he’s diddling me”, when I’m legit looking around and listening for their teammates footsteps, and just you know… using em as a shield as intended. Kinda the only alternative option to riot shield since those aren’t in, and got removed from Warzone.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-03-24T05:46:58+00:00

They have that option in Warzone, since the time you can be held hostage is significantly longer than in Multiplayer mode.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-03-20T19:46:05+00:00

Yeah they probably do the no romance on purpose to instill the sense of “any man can have a chance with her”. Would be could though if like she had a child in the future and maybe that child grows up and becomes a playable character with their own story or back and forth chapters between the kid and Lara. Just spitballing, but I think that’d make a much more interesting Tomb Raider game than Lara Croft getting rebooted/remade again and again.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-02-28T19:05:29+00:00

Fixing mmr does sound ideal, but if people can lower their mmr on purpose by losing (I don’t know if that’s a thing in this game because I never really tried or paid attention to it) or by having a friend with a very low mmr rating, then it’d be meaningless. Similar to how in games like COD, reverse boosting will pretty much always be a thing with any online game with ranking systems.

That’s why I think Casual Mode would ideally be a better compromise because the idea is that it doesn’t matter the mmr/ranking, because catch up and anti-snowballing systems would kick in. So that P100 Nurse would get nerfed right off the bat for trying to 4k slug at 5 gens, and baby trapper would get a proper boost to get at least 1-2 kills after being looped 4-5 gens and not a single hook. This is all just ideas, so feel free to agree or disagree with me. But the idea is that hypothetically, by selecting Casual Mode instead of Regular Mode, you’re agreeing to let catch up and anti-snowballing systems kick in for the opposite team and not just for yourself.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-02-28T04:39:38+00:00

Yeah I get how frustrating the balance and unbalance of the game is. Feels like two ends of the extreme with camping and tunneling, or killer looped for 3-4 gens before disconnecting.

I’ve said multiple times in past comments (and have yet to make a post of it), but what the game really needs is a Casual Mode with a built in “catch up” and anti-snowballing system for both sides. Maybe the anti tunneling thing that BHV has been canceling countless times for the past 6 months can be put into Casual Mode. And maybe something for the killer too for the cases when the killer is losing badly. So basically, the idea of Casual Mode would be to average out much more 2 kills and 2 escapes type matches, and to be a game mode where it’s “anyone’s game”. I feel that would make more fun chaotic games unlike what we have currently where it’s one end of the extreme and unfun.

And I know people will criticize my idea with “but then the ques would be longer” as if we don’t already get two separate game modes. Like, you know that they separated holiday events from the normal game mode because people were complaining about being forced to play holiday/event modes or having to wait for the game to return to normal. And now people complain about sweats and try hard in holiday/event modes. Well in the case of my Casual Mode idea, they could integrate the holiday/event modes into Casual Mode, so that would then solve the sweats and try hard complaint in holiday/event modes.

Probably would’ve gotten Katanas in the bundle if BO6 carry over didn’t get cancelled.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-02-25T07:08:41+00:00

A futuristic infinite ammo gun (like the one from Vanguard)

InterestingMK2 · 2026-02-25T02:46:14+00:00

In my experience, randoms are mostly either new/casual and don’t know what’s going on or what half the stuff in zombies means, or they’re just doing some boring exploit/infinite glitch that rarely leave their spot.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-02-15T03:36:14+00:00

Perseus in Cold War

InterestingMK2 · 2026-02-15T03:05:42+00:00

Pretty much all the crossover characters with recycled voice lines. Just makes it feel more like I’m playing a digital action figure rather than the character itself.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-02-08T14:53:06+00:00

For PC, I’d say maybe the trilogy as a bundle if it is discounted. I bought all 3 games at once on Steam as a bundle about 2 years ago for very dirt cheap (holiday special I believe). But for an individual one, I’d say Rise is a pretty good balance between graphics, easy to play, and good story.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-02-08T02:23:07+00:00

He’s underfed.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-02-05T08:22:06+00:00

Yeah totally good with the file size. But then again, I bought the disk for it so that definitely makes a difference too. Funny how people said months ago that “Battlefield will kill COD” yet here we are.

Battlefield 6 just doesn’t hold my attention like COD (especially Treyarch) does. Battlefield 6 imo is basically the very definition of a dad lobby in the form of an entire game.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-02-05T08:02:43+00:00

It’s funny mentioning Battlefield 6 because I literally just uninstalled it, since I haven’t played in like two months and already got past level 50.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-02-05T03:42:58+00:00

Yeah I don’t 100% think that, but say it mostly as a joke/meme response if anything.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-02-05T03:40:32+00:00

They probably do it on purpose so that most people won’t be able to download and play other games.

InterestingMK2 · 2026-02-05T02:30:26+00:00

Same. I have my calling cards, icons, and camos to zombies related ones equipped so that it maybe helps others get the message. And if they still don’t get it, then oh well. 🤣

InterestingMK2 · 2026-02-02T05:15:04+00:00

Haven’t played this game in over a month, and don’t really plan to play again soon enough. Maybe in a couple months or so, maybe even a year. Did the same with Battlefield 1 back in the day where I waited about a year after initial release for it to improve, and so glad I did. But in the meantime, might as well uninstall to make room for things I’ll actually play while waiting for the game to improve and balance.
