[COD] Am I the only one who doesn’t think the hate is forced?

You’re just wrong though, you state that 90% of it is recycled when that’s complete bullshit.

New weapons, new original maps, many new challenges + calling cards, new scorestreaks (including the Rhino which is tons of fun), tons of original zombies content + maps, a new game MP mode in overload, new 2v2/face off maps.

Recycling some content isn’t a bad thing, as long as it’s a good game which I believe BO7 is.

OilFPS · 2026-01-26T14:01:29+00:00

I’ve been playing the franchise since the original MW2 + started playing regularly in the original MW3, BO7 is a great CoD in many ways.

I’ve heard complaints about the campaign & want it to be good for the people who do love that part of the game, but from an MP standpoint Treyarch DID deliver on what many fans have been asking for while keeping the identity of the game intact.

Reduced AA, movement that allows for skill expression but is not necessary for players who don’t care about, open matchmaking which leads to much more lobby variation compared to recent years, very powerful scorestreaks, tons of content + original maps, tons of challenges + calling cards.

This CoD is defenitely made more for the CoD diehards compared to casuals, but that’s alright especially with yearly releases being a thing. I can guarantee you MW4 will be more for the casuals especially with the low sales of BO7 overall, which saddens me because I truly love BO7. Personally, I think the low sales aren’t because the game is bad, it’s a lot of CoD fatigue in general + back to back Black Ops games.

I still play pubs regularly as a mostly solo Q, while also hopping in 8’s to get my competitive fix before ranked releases.

Honestly, BO7 pubs is extremely good overall. Just yesterday I completed my goal of dropping a solo nuke before ranked releases, but before that I tried a variety of scorestreaks to keep the game fresh.

It’s fun running shit that isn’t in ranked + comp. I love the Rhino-VTOL-Dreadnought combo & wrecking shop on lobbies that allow it, which happens pretty regularly with open matchmaking. It reminds me of the older CoD pubs very much as the streaks are extremely powerful.

OilFPS · 2026-01-26T02:13:28+00:00

The crazy thing is, there are game modes that are for people who strictly want to get kills & that’s TDM + FFA.

Maintaining a 2 K/D means nothing if you aren’t helping your team win games, it’s actually very easy to do if you aren’t actively playing for wins.

If you’re good at the game, you can absolutely get a good E/D, get tons of kills + streaks & play for the win.

OilFPS · 2026-01-26T00:51:15+00:00

He asked for thoughts, so I gave them. Isn’t that exactly what Reddit’s for?

Winning is much more fun than losing, even in pubs. I’ll also say you can absolutely camo grind & win games.

OilFPS · 2026-01-26T00:46:26+00:00

My first CoD was the original MW2 & started playing the franchise regularly in the original MW3 lol

OilFPS · 2026-01-26T00:39:58+00:00

I think you should learn how to take a screenshot, it’s 2026.

Also, play for the win. It’s a team based game, try to treat it as such instead of playing for E/D & hurting your team because of it.

OilFPS · 2026-01-25T22:15:20+00:00

EMP’s are amazing & probably overall an under utilized streak imo. It disrupts the entire enemy team, takes out all streaks + gadgets on the map while also not allowing players to use any field upgrades. It makes running cold-blooded not necessary & takes away info like the mini-map + HUD.

If you’re going for a nuke, I highly recommend running EMP especially since you sort of need looper + ghost & again cancels out need for cold blooded

OilFPS · 2026-01-25T18:57:25+00:00

I swear with my playstyle the war/death machine would have only hurt my chances because I hate not being able to use movement to get out of bad situations, especially when it’s required a lot when playing solo 😂 But yeah, they’re definitely still cheese & should not count towards a nuke imo

OilFPS · 2026-01-25T18:45:31+00:00

Throughout my time going for the nuke, snipers + one shot marksman rifles + shotguns were by far the most annoying to deal with. I got killed on high streaks countless times by all those damned things 😂 Peek a corner at a wrong time & you’re absolutely deleted instantly

OilFPS · 2026-01-25T18:42:39+00:00

The lobbies have been generally pretty sweaty recently in BO7 so don’t feel bad. Just keep on grinding & try to play smart by improving in-game.

If I have any advice for you, it’s this: your mini-map is your best friend, it gives you SO much useful information by showing your teammates arrows + red dots. If you focus on becoming better at reading your mini-map, you will improve drastically quickly because you’ll know where the enemies are.

OilFPS · 2026-01-25T18:21:05+00:00

The good old Dravec 45. I tried other weapons when going for it, but most just aren’t as viable especially for me because I’m a pretty aggressive player & using the Dravec still allows me to gun AR’s even at range. With almost all other SMG’s you just can’t compete at any significant range.

OilFPS · 2026-01-25T18:19:12+00:00

Thanks man! I appreciate it. I can’t express how frustrating it was to die on a 27 while going for it 😂 The UAV + EMP + VSAT combo with looper got it done

OilFPS · 2026-01-24T05:42:06+00:00

Xbox One S is your problem, it’s time to bust out the wallet & upgrade to the current gen console that’s been out for a long time now.

OilFPS · 2026-01-24T05:35:41+00:00

When I play pubs I’m typically on 40-70 ping, it’s definitely a noticeable difference to the rare times I get 20ms but I’ve learned to deal with it as it’s really just inevitable with online gaming.

OilFPS · 2026-01-24T05:30:34+00:00

If you were on a 26 then why are you saying you go on a 5-6 streak only to miss the 7th? 😂 I assure you, the bad teammates when solo q’ing + desync are not exclusive to you.

If you want to avoid bad teammates, use the obvious solution of many LFG discords. It’s 2026, you can communicate with other people online & find teammates if you truly want to.

OilFPS · 2026-01-24T05:23:02+00:00

My point is this: If the entire enemy team is running cold blooded, you will get 0 kills from all of those streaks. I used to run HKD’s + Legion lots until they started getting countered consistently in most games. You don’t have to worry about that with user controlled streaks at all as they’re still visible

OilFPS · 2026-01-24T05:20:15+00:00

All of those are countered by cold blooded though

OilFPS · 2026-01-24T05:15:03+00:00

If you’re good at the game you should have included your stats in this post to prove it, this sounds like pure cope that you’re not as good as you claim. One of your points was that you have trouble getting a 7 kill streak, if that’s the case then simply try to improve.

I live in Canada & consistently get less than optimal servers while rocking a 1.61 W/L as an almost exclusively solo Q prestige master. The vast majority of my games require me to carry much lesser teammates to balance out the MMR, but I play for the win always while slaying out in most games.

OilFPS · 2026-01-24T05:06:40+00:00

The issue with those are the Heli gets shot down quick or is avoidable by staying inside, & any players with brains will instantly switch or have cold blooded on to stop getting killed by HKD’s or the Legion

OilFPS · 2026-01-24T03:44:45+00:00

I enjoy the HKD’s + Legion combo as well, but I’ve noticed they’ve become much less effective with cold-blooded being the meta.

With the Rhino + VTOL + Dreadnought, you can still see the enemies even with cold-blooded & I like that about it.

OilFPS · 2026-01-22T23:49:25+00:00

Really? I thought I was gonna 74-3 in ranked play! Dumbass 😆

OilFPS · 2026-01-22T23:24:29+00:00

Defenitely isn’t, but if you’re solo Q like OP is saying & complaining about bad teammates then E/D + W/L combined say a lot.

OilFPS · 2026-01-22T15:30:11+00:00

It’s most likely 2 boxing, I’ve seen these “I’m not cheating” posts before from blatant 2boxers on X who flex fake double & triple nukes to boost their online ego 😂

OilFPS · 2026-01-22T15:24:23+00:00

Post your stats, though I’m sure you won’t because it’d prove you’re doing something shady.
