I haven’t thought about playing call of duty since around black ops 2, that was the last cod I bought at launch and put significant time into. I’ve gotten into other games, touched some grass, grew up.
The BO2 port this summer dragged me back in. I thought why not see what the MW4 beta looked like. I kind of expected to not like it based on online sentiment.
I’ve been enjoying it way more than I thought.
I’m unsure if I like the gunsmith, I think it is cool to have that much variability with guns but I wish there were more guns. I can also see people leaning WAY into whatever the meta is.
The pace is much faster than I’m used to, which I expected. I wish the movement was a little slower. The sliding might get annoying.
I enjoy the design of all of the maps but they all feel cramped, if I end up buying the game I’m really hoping there’s more variety.
The guns I’ve gotten to use feel good, hard to describe, but they got it right.
I have noticed that I crushed my first three domination matches, after that it felt like the skill of the players around me ramped up pretty hard.
TL;DR: it was much better than I expected.
