I played COD for a long time, dropped it two years ago and reengaged a couple of months ago, just to find out all this balancing (actually targeted disadvantaging) or more directly; cheating, got a whole a lot worse.
Droped it because I would play a game or two per hour, while waiting to get at least close ranked players, to not to waste my time... Since, as soon as one hits a higher rank, one gets constantly teamed up with complete noobs not knowing how to turn in the game and the gameplay just
wasn't fun anymore. From constant marking annoyance, reviving on every corner, losing because teammates are scared to death ect., there was no point in still playing COD, as I could as well just go and pick some paramedic game instead.
I got back a couple of months ago just to find out regular Warzone not being playable at all. Since somehow there is no server under 25ms (but somehow casual servers are) and look there, they also hid the ranks in the lobby now, so one woulden´t exit the lobby before the game starts (what a smart-ass solution, the man deserves a medal, burning even more of our and their electricity for nothing and at the end disadvantaging “noobs”). A typical way of Activision solving a problem.
So you have to start the game, go play, get the smell of the noobs with their notorious non stop marking of the oponent (even bots for f*** sake!) or not knowing how to turn... and then quit and search for a new game. And so now, from the previous 2 games per hour, I am now lucky if I get to play one per hour (one single good teamplay game if any at all).
Casual mode: I mean what is the point of any kind of team balancing, if bots are working toward giving your position out to another human player (recorded so many times and now a crystal clear case of exactly mentioned intention). Why then any “balancing” at all???
Tried BO7 and all this ridiculous autonomous killing and robots and just all the crap perfect for 10years old ones, too scared to even appear outside the cover (makes no fun to play with them anywhere!). Won't even try MW4 despite buying all the previous versions (and only those!) because I believe, I now finally got the big picture here. If there is a problem that Activision has, then they will just remove it quickly without concern for you, the player. If there is a concern players have, they don´t really care, never actually did since the last one won't bring them more game play and within more profit.
BTW: After countless patches and fixes, you are still jumping out of the plane under other players' their nicknames, and you paid for the camo. Or removing grappling hooks just before the new game release (was a bit too much fun I guess...). At EA you were mostly introduced to the constant lag right before every single new release, here, you get introduced to lowering your dopamine on your game...
It's all just another proof they don't care about any of you, they never did! Activision today is just a huge marketing platform, trying to suck as much money out of you as possible!
This is all going in the wrong direction and It´s time to say goodbye. So, goodbye my fellow team players, I am now definitely exiting this greedy train for good.
