News - My Brutally Honest Opinion Of Warzone 2i & The Beta Week 1 - What I'd Like To See For Week 2
All right, so week one of the Modern Warfare documentary and half beta are in the books. Well, not officially; it goes until tomorrow morning. At the time of recording this, it's Monday night, but I probably won't drop this until after the beta is done. So week one is officially in the books, and I've gone through the motions.
A little bit with this beta, as you guys know, I actually went and watched a few YouTube articles on this beta just trying to gauge where other YouTubers are at just recently. And I'm finding it actually pretty tough to find—just a truthful article. In this moment, I'm seeing just unnecessary hate, like I'm watching this article.
I'm like, Okay, well, that's a legitimate beef, and that is a legitimate beef, but like all this [__] though, what does that have to do with this game? You know, I'm seeing a lot of unnecessary hate, and I'm seeing just a lot of unnecessary dick-riding too. I'm just seeing people stuck in the honeymoon phase, and they're not able to see the product for what it currently is in its current state.
It's actually tough just to try to get what I feel like is a truthful article out here, man. It's a weird spot right now. Very confusing beta. A very confusing game so far. I'm seeing a lot of hate for these maps, which is exactly what I expected. The lineup of maps for this beta was confusing for me right off the bat.
Trust me when I say that, but even back when I made my OG Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer map tier list and I ranked all the multiplayer maps in the OG MW2. Back then, they worked, but even back then, I wasn't a fan of Estate. I wasn't the biggest fan of FLLA. I know people love that map, but just for me, there were too many buildings, too many windows, too many places to camp in, and [__] like that, and I don't think it would work all that well, even on a map like Quarry.
I think Quar is going to play so much worse than it did back in the day, even on a map like Rundown. For me, I had a lot of great games on that map, but it wasn't a great map, and in my opinion, Modern Warfare 2 wasn't a god awful map either. I think it's going to play worse with these new Gen Cod sweats; like, I'm saying, the community is different.
In this new age of Call of Duty players, they're a different breed. These maps are not going to play the same, just the speed of the characters with the tack sprint and all that. On a map like Karachi, you could get away with having some good games on that map. I actually remember having a good time overall on that map from back in the day, and I think it's going to play like ass.
In this game with these new Gen Cod sweats and how hard they camp and the different tools that they got to camp with. I don't think the map is going to play all that great, but we still have some solid maps here absolutely that are going to help this game. Terminal is going to help this game. Is it going to play as well as it might not?
But it's definitely going to help. It's going to be one of the better maps in the game. Highrise is going to help Scrapyard. is going to help these maps are going to help, right, and in the case of Afghan I could say don't completely hold me to this, but Afghan. It might actually even play better in this game than it did in the OG.
Modern Warfare 2 I actually wasn't sure what I was going to talk about for this article, how I was going to handle it, or how I was going to open it. You know, I was thinking about different things I could have done for an intro, like a compilation of me just getting stuck on stupid [__] just getting stuck on, absolutely.
We could have opened up the article with that, and I could have had people dying laughing. Just from the intro alone, just getting stuck on the dumbest, or I could have done a whole intro, of the most horrible spawns you've ever seen in your life hit detection, random as hell unfair gunfights like there's a lot of [__] here that breach your drone don't even get me started on the breacher.
Drone man, that's not even a kill streak. The mosquito drone is the hunter-killer drone for Black Ops 2. That's a kill streak. The breacher drone is a lethal you got on you at all times, man, and that [__] could be annoying as hell. Like, there's dudes out here. I've seen them in, and I don't know how they ended up in my lobbies with the skill-based matchmaking, but they're in there, and the only way they could get [__] kills was with that goddamn breacher drone.
Yo, that [__] is annoying as hell. I could have opened with some clips showing you how bad the visibility actually is in this game right now, or I could have opened with how sweaty this beta has been and all the bunny hopping and dragging your ass all over the map, like it's just unnecessary the amount of ass sliding.
I've seen in this beta booty slide Bunny Hop booty slide Bunny Hop slide cancellation: Bunny Hop aims down another Bunny Hop like it. It's just been crazy out here, man. I could have opened with some of them. Clips I could have opened with how broken the snipers seem to be, both me eating broken as hell desk from snipers as well as broken as hell kills with snipers.
The game play that you guys are seeing here is actually the first time I have ever put on this class with the sniper secondary. You guys are going to see me get some cheeky little kills with it, but it's not like this is my first time using this class. I did pick up a sniper off the ground a couple of times before this, but you guys know I'm not really a sniper, and you guys will even see me getting some pretty crazy kills with the sniper in this game play, but you guys got to remember, man.
I've been on Xbox for a long time, and the aiming has been weird over here; it's been very inconsistent. I find my aim kind of shooting all over the place here and there, but I've also been on Xbox for so long now that I'm still trying to get adjusted to the PS4 controller for this beta, just to go back to the Xbox controller next weekend and try to get readjusted.
Again, and as you guys know, I have never actually adjusted to the Xbox series controller. Like I've said in a bunch of articles at this point, I've never actually hit a point where I'm just comfortable on the Xbox series controller, but anyway, enough of that. You guys aren't trying to hear me talk about my comfort level with different controllers and all that chat you want to hear about the game, so get back to the Modern Warfare demo and half beta.
There were a lot of negatives here, and there's a lot of problems with this beta with this game so far, and with my first two commentaries on this beta. I've been focusing more on the negative, which is not what I want to do, but I'm just being truthful like for me right now. The bad outweighs the good in this game.
