Man, this game keeps getting worse and worse. Coming from a mature gamer, I've played a lot of stuff, this game had great potential - then the middle schoolers came to work and started making decisions for it's future. Here's a list of stuff that sucks:
-first of all, forcing console players to play with PC is simply criminal. I've never had to worry about hackers, cheaters, and the such... but that all changed with this game. All disguised as a marketing ploy for gamers to "play with their friends"... which is stupid - all of my friends play the same system. Have for years. The truth: put everyone on the same servers to save money. Good for the company, awful for the gamers. I hate playing with people with the ability to do much more and much faster on a keyboard and mouse, rather than a controller.
-2nd: the gulag (and I'm pronouncing it "lag" not "log" on purpose) - it's laggy, and then the idea of not putting any weapons in (punching only) is completely middle school. Also, snipers in a room that is no longer than 75 feet... dumb. The whole rock throwing thing... again... middle school.
-3rd: coming out with new weapons always leads to stuff that's way OP, example: the latest - DMR 14 & Mac 10. Do I need to say more??? Now that the YouTube gamers have found these weapons, exploited them, raved about them to millions of people... every kid on the planet is working overtime to unlock these guns and rank them up so that they can finally get a kill. Cheap kills. The game is completely unplayable. At least 80% of players are using them and it's pointless to try and use any other weapon against them. You can't tell me that the developers had no idea that they were OP and unbalanced. As if they don't test them before release. It most definitely is a cheap way to get kids to play the game a bunch to rank up and use and abuse. It's gone on for over a week and half... no fix. Unbelievable.
I'd would love for an actual grown-up to take over the supervision of the content and direction of this game. Or... another developer create an actual "modern" warfare game that isn't focused solely on $$$, how many skins to create for purchase, the dorky middle school crap that everyone exploits in the game, and something a bit more realistic, strategic, competitive, and fun.
