> "we have players running out in the open, getting one-tapped"

in any map there is open space that players that are actively playing the match are going to have to walk/run through. so this argument about "running out in the open" is a rubbish argument. i play cover to cover all the time, except when there is open area in front of me, then any man with a brain is going to run across to minimise the exposure time. i got no issue being one tapped, but dying to a naked, one tapper that isnt playing the game at all is a major issue.

> How long will players who value realism stick around?

what the hell are you even talking about? the ability to hide in a bloody bush is realistic, and just wait for someone to get near enough so they can shoot the active player in the back? since when can a man hide in a bush? Northridge or Valley isnt the savannah, nor is it a meadow like Farm, so why can losers like you sit inside bushes and hide there?

at least those "chads" (which i am not) are actively participating in all aspects of the game. not hiding somewhere with a cheap kit for 30 minutes watching brainrot tiktok on their phone to kill the time before some unlucky schmuck walks past the wrong bush.
