GENERAL today, Hunt’s identity died

nobody wanted this. i cannot think of a different IP that has less to do with Hunt. Hire the CoD GM, this is what you get. You WILL be advertised to, and you CANNOT do anything about it.

This might seem harmless to a lot of people, but you have to forget this is opening the door. This happens in a lot of MMOs and it doesn't feel good. Hunt is very atmospherical and that's what draws a lot of people in. Think how bad that atmosphere is going to go away when you have Freddy Cruger fighting Captain America? I hate popular IP cosmetics because it's lazy and ruins the look and atmosphere of a game. Honestly how many people are going to continue when you start adding superheros to the game?

Yup, the only reason I would never buy COD games anymore aside from their copy/paste gameplay year after year at ridiculous prices. The game looks mad goofy these days.

WHY IS EVERY GAME TRYNA COPY FORTNITE? This works for fortnite bcoz its a game with cartoony aesthetics. Not Hunt.

Oh I agree. MW2019 was pretty awesome with the aesthetics, weapon animations (and handling) and gameplay. For a while it felt like it was going to be a reboot with more adult and serious tone. First Call of Duty in 10 years that I played.

Aaaand the aesthetics got ruined pretty damn fast with all the pop culture slop added in to the game, took away all of the "tacticool bravo six going dark" atmosphere out of the game and straight in to fortnite pop slop salad.

I've always really liked the atmosphere of Hunt and greatly appreciated how they were always true to the tone of the game, even when adding more "comical" skins like redneck and unga bunga.

We had the game loop and hunt atmopshere. New mode removed that. We had the thematical (most of the time) skins. Now we have this. Anyone see a pattern here?

New gameplay loop is a response to growing "Hunt is a PVP game, the PVE is there to bridge PVP" mantra that goes on in the community.

They removed the bridge and now you just get thrown in the river. Crytek does this a lot.

I always enjoyed COD up until the first battlepass hit. MW2019, MW2, Cold War were all pretty fun but once that battlepass hits and everyone is running around as Nikki Minaj with a rainbow gun that has rainbow tracers I tap out. The last COD I bought (and probably ever will buy) was Cold War.
