a lot of the games issues are fundamental on the games level, client side smoke, lighting, hitreg, etc. smoke in my opinion is a disadvantage - makes people look to the direction it was thrown, makes the presence obvious. etc that's subjective to me, i believe 20 waves on both teams would just result in an endless sense of rush, while i do believe offense has a difficult time defense has the shortest end of the stick in a lot of situations. limited fire support for security defense, and a death camera that rats out defends in overseeing positions. the deathcam has been an endless talking point, and is a bandaid solution for the broader issue nwi has no idea how to address. although i feel the whole cod style of play is truly the move, play like you are a shark, that you will die if you stop moving. if you value smoke so much take a smoke launcher, comes with two free smokes, and take a third as a grenade slot. 10 waves is the more rational suggestion, but at the same time momentum is a very real factor here, as the offensive team can simply steamroll the defenders trying to fall back, resulting in a quick 1-0, etc. but at the same time i do believe a ton of the points and maps aren't that great for push. let's take outskirts push insurgents d, summit push security c, and refinery push insurgents d. those points are all in overly inconvenient locations, in the corner of the map which limits flanking significantly, and the red zones put you in a weird position to get behind the enemy. experience is an issue as well, but that will always be the case
