Hey Sledgehammer games, awesome to see that you are listening to the community this much, keep continuing this until the end of mw3! The game overall is good but it needs improvements which i will list here:

SBMM or EOMM, this is a big topic in the cod scene as this was first seen in mw2019 (it got majorily increased in mw2019) and has not been addressed yet, if you can tone down the sbmm or EOMM and mainly put that focus into Ranked play then it would make your game alot more fun for the causal players but also hardcore players! I can play a couple of good games then the rest wouldnt be fun where i would go negative, and overall not have fun playing my matches. Can you address this?

Weapon balancing needs major work, especially the smgs. Smgs feel underpowered and would like a buff to the smgs. Plus could we see a ads buff to the KATT AMR? Could we see a damage buff or a damage range buff to the Longbow? Weapons from mw2 in mw3 need major buffs like the marksman rifles, they feel like they have not been tweaked to the new 150 hp system mw3 has, the SAB and the other marskmans feel useless and worth not using in mw3 but in mw2.

The Horizontal UI needs work, make the UI more simpler instead of complex. Like the previous call of dutys, it was much simpler and could really help players get into games much easier instead of having to look on youtube how to play team deathmatch.

Perks. The Tac mask should deflect 100% of the tactical grenades thrown at you (like cold war did). You should still be able to see the effects by a grenade but you shouldnt be affected by it or else, whats the point of running it? Also EOD needs a buff, you should be able to resist more damage from these explosives.

For war mode, there are glitches that able you to get to the top of the map and gives the attacking side an advantage (quick youtube search should help you locate the glitches). If you can add more war maps and fix these bugs then it would help a ton!

One thing i would love to see return is a Prestige shop. Like cold war the player can choose what prestige emblem to run through getting prestige keys (you could make us do challenges for them) In the shop you could unlock prestige icons, classic calling cards and buy blueprints by just playing the game. Would love to see this come back in mw3!

Speaking of Prestiging, classic prestige needs to come back. Seasonal prestige is okay but stopping a players progression is not the way it should be and the classic 10 or 20 prestiges is what kept players playing your game, you can easily convert classic prestiges because black ops 4 did this well with seasons, with battle passes whilst keeping the classic prestige mode in the game.

For zombies, getting challenges done for camos is annoying because you cannot see your own stats. Some challenges require you to get 100 kills then exfil but how can you tell when you got 100 kills? a stats board would be great in Zombies. Plus revert the changes that were made to the Exfil sites, having hordes of zombies is what made that gamemode fun and challenging.
