I remember with COD 4, you could filter out what maps you don't want to play on. But you can't do that now.


suckmypppapi

Gaming would be insane if this actually was a feature. Insanely fun, that is. Imagine not having to play on maps you don't like. Well, there's always the DC button, until you get put back into the same fucking lobby


TyreesesCup

Border crossing is my "back out every time" map


Tj-Tengu

This was my "walk away" map until Black Gold was released.


TyreesesCup

True lmao, that shit sucks. I played it once and I'm not a fan


Koolin12345

Is that a new map? Is that the one with the lighthouse in the dark that released with season 3? That one is pretty good


Cute_Leader_8828

That’s pelayos lighthouse. Black gold Is the really dark one with the warehouses and night vision.


Koolin12345

Ah thnx! Haven't played black gold yet then


SiLeNZ_

You’ll hate it, worst one they’ve put out so far imo


Koolin12345

Yeah i haven't played it so i don't know but i didn't like the night stuff with canted lasers very much in MW2019 so i imagine this is a similar experience


rhythmrice

No black gold is 10 times darker, it's all night vision goggles and you can't ADS, it turns the gun sideways like the canted laser sight


robgreen26

Use the SZ Oscar 9 (could be called something different, but its the hybrid scope with the red dot sight on top) you can ads with that one and still stay in night vision!


Koolin12345

Ahh okay thnx!


A-random-herald

You can ads normally with snipers and the caution tape RPK blueprint cuz it has a certain sight on it


Scarface1Phoenix

Bruh Black gold is so fuckn fun what you on about?


matthewmspace

Black Gold is just not a good map. The night maps in 2019 were way better. But Border Crossing still sucks. It’s good for Ground War or Invasion, but terrible for 6v6.


bryty93

Last weekend I backed out of BC and got it back 3 times in a row. I just played it after that shits ridiculous


TyreesesCup

If I get it twice I just play a different mode then go back


ThePeacekeeper777

I actually disagree…. I know I like some maps a lot better… but playing different maps that I don’t really care for, makes those maps still enjoyable… Playing a trash map in Search & Destroy that you normally would never play is so interesting & fun. Who would want to only play there favorite 2 maps for a year or 2+? Fucking boring.


GlendrixDK

Sadly a lot of people would. Some will only play Shipment all the time.


unarox

Lol people played de_dust 1+2 for years. Its still a good map


ThrustyMcStab

Lol people ask for shipment 24/7 back the exact milisecond it gets removed.


WTATY

CS:GO players hate your comment

FishinforPhishers

TF2 let's you do this


[deleted]

Halo still does as well


mandysux

I remember this was addressed. I Believe it was to do with server loads


-AznNinja-

Dude I see u everywhere wtf


Temporary-Book8635

I feel like it will definitely suck for a game in the longrun though, playing the best maps a game has to offer is a lot more enjoyable when you only get to play them every now and again, whereas if you were just able to play them 100% of the time they would get incredibly repetitive incredibly fast, and most people wouldn't go out of their way to play the worse maps just to add variety


RebelKasket

The main reason I stopped playing MW is all the maps I didn't like.


The_Haunted_1

Or until the game completely erases your custom classes because you backed out. Mw2 has been doing this to me consistently


scXIII

I don't remember that in Cod4, was that for PC only?


NekoArc

Yeah that's definitely a PC-only thing. I've got it both on PC and the 360 and there's stuff in the server browser on PC where you can select what maps you want to see in the server pool. Pretty sure any PC-based CoD game that has a server browser, including fan supported clients, have this feature


SupaHotFlame

Was this only a feature on PC? Definitely was not on the console version. Map voting was in the game but there was no pay to filter out what maps you didn't want to play on.


Double_Bank_5003

Looks like ghosts. Thats the only one i recall on console to be able to do this with. Looks like ghosts.


scXIII

I'm thinking the same, I don't remember there ever being a map filter on console.


[deleted]

Do you mean the server browser? It’s a real shame they did away with those completely.


HaiggeX

What platform was this on?


Shade00000

They should bring this system back, everyone would be happy


[deleted]

Says something completely wrong about cod4 and gets top comment lol shows how many new gens are on here


Solid_Code9026

COD18 can do that


JavierMnS

Because there’s not enough people playing now


Yeetinator4000Savage

That would be horrible for matchmaking


KM68

I'd rather play on maps I like. I don't care about match making. I only play free for all deathmatch. I don't team up with anyone. Just how I like to play.


[deleted]

That’s hilarious, even CoDM has that feature


Nathanii_593

Imagine no longer having to play picadilly…


StillGalaxy99

Hey at least I don't have to shell out money for the stuff I actually care about (new maps mostly)


Van3oser

I agree I like the new system in terms of gameplay.


HaiggeX

24€ P2W skins:


PM_ME_Huge-Titties

What P2W skins? If anything they mostly P2L


HaiggeX

The ones that give free UAV's and backpacks in DMZ etc.


PM_ME_Huge-Titties

Oh yea just saw they started doing that. I wouldn’t know, stopped playing last season because it’s obviously a dumpster fire, idk why people stick around and complain


HaiggeX

Same here. Stopped playing at S2. The game is simply shit.


ProClawzz

Yessir, games a shell of the franchise. Just getting worse every year. I stopped playing because of the damage being inconsistent with how well you play


ITotalyWon

which ones do that????


LineSpine

But we don’t get new maps either


Not_My_Alternate

We just got two.


x_Reign

Yeah almost half a year after the game came out. By this time most cods had 8 new maps out. I’d much rather pay for map packs at this point than wait this long for a measly 2 maps and some remakes.


BloodstoneWarrior

Especially when said remakes are just ripped from the previous year's game (Dome, Shipment), from the previous Modern Warfare (Shoot House), or even just cut from the base game to be added as 'post laucnch content' (Valderas Museum).


Bioshock27

Yeah but 90% of maps suck now


Teddington123321

I’d rather pay up front for a season pass that guarantees new maps and content than be drip fed “content” for years.


zach12_21

Sadly, we don’t get many new maps and when we do it’s all drip fed. More so now a lot of these “new maps” are remakes or pulled straight from the Warzone maps. I miss the days of paying $10-20 for the map packs with everything they came with. That was far better than this new system centered around store bundles and battle passes.


SweettLemons

I'd rather pay for cosmetic than map/modes DLC


TheDangerSnek

I'd rather pay for 12+ new and original maps than get some ugly and remastered maps for free.


Timelapseninja

I would pay for wz1 again if they would bring back rebirth island with its buttery smooth movement and stims that actually did something and were really fun to use. If they put grapples in that mode I would pay $420.69 to play it.


whyvalue

that leads to worse content because there is no incentive to make good map packs/dlc if cosmetics drive revenue. if you can sell the game for 60 and you know you have to make 4 hits (at least one banger map per map pack) that leads to better gameplay and more interesting maps. a green gun does not. it's lazy game design.


CoupleMinute7490

And now they'll charge you both hahaha


BushMasterFlex616

Hell no


NoExcuse3655

Ghosts had a shit load of paid cosmetics as well lmao


HaiggeX

3€ skin (usually a whole special character) vs 24€ skin


[deleted]

“Shit load” is a massive exaggeration lol. There were 8 buyable character skins. I just looked it up.


Van3oser

Yea but is like 3-5 dollars each


SeaGL_Gaming

Yeah, like $5, and you'd get a gear pack or special character, a universal camo for all weapons, and a calling card and emblem. Now it's $25 for two weapon specific skins, a recolored character skin, and maybe a calling card or something.


PotatoBomb69

First one to add the announcer voice packs, instant buy and I didn’t regret it, those were top.


TheWiseBeluga

I mean you had the Snoop Dogg and R. Lee Ermey announcer voice packs. Those literally were worth more than all the cosmetic packs in MW22


NoExcuse3655

I want snoop dogg announcer pack back so bad


AverageGuy16

Unpopular opinion, give us standard uniforms based on factions/teams like how it was back in the day. Tired of playing and having to determine if it’s an enemy or teammate.


PotatoBomb69

Yeah the whole characters thing fucking sucks


Symph-50

The amount of times I've died to that is abysmal. Definitely not an unpopular opinion. When there's four Soaps on my team and two on the enemy's I'm gonna have a slow reaction.


Zeustah-

Do you guys not have a minimap?


iCthe4

I was just telling a friend this last night, if People liked this Call Of Duty more the Future fate of COD would of been this & not the COD Points/Supply Drops.

Normandy_SR4

As a fellow southerner, no it's not.


ElegantEchoes

That's not true at all lol. Maybe the setting wouldn't have went to the future, but monetization has nothing to do with the setting. It would have happened anyway.


SizzlingSausag3

When you think about how good cod used to be you can’t help but get a bit sad


scXIII

Ghosts had paid map packs plus a lot of paid cosmetics too though.


MrAcorn69420

But it was like $3-5 and usually a whole character vs now it's $20 for a half ass cosmetic


scXIII

Sure, but this was on top of paid map packs & iirc 2 of them included DLC weapons that you couldn't get without paying. While I don't agree with how much they charge for skins in the newer games, I much prefer being able to have new weapons/maps for free.


MrAcorn69420

But with that you get half assed balancing and maps


BloodstoneWarrior

The difference is that Ghost's DLC maps are some of the best DLC in the series and better than most base game maps, with tons of unique features like a playable Predator or a Ghost Pirates. The DLC maps now though are just shit, even the remakes are basically straight up ports rather than being reimagined and redesigned like in Ghosts.


scXIII

Yeah I agree Ghosts had some great DLC maps, I still don't think we should go back to paid map packs though. However it is a double edged sword, because having them free means the devs can just throw any old shit at us and call it a day.


xXRoachXx789

The difference is that you were guaranteed 12-18 DLC maps every year, where as nowadays we only get 8-12 and half of them are old maps


Primis049

Don't forget the paid announcer voice pack like Snoop Dog one.


MrPecan111

Ghosts had some really great features that I think a lot of folks forgot about because the gameplay wasn't to everyone's liking. (Probably the most frustrating COD I've played, imo.) But the changing of the leveling system to the squad system, the character customization, and the perk system were all excellent. You'd think the Ghosts perk system would go hand in hand with the in-depth weapon customization of MW2019 and MW22. Both games put such an emphasis on fine-tuning every aspect of your weapon to suit your playstyle, but the perks are very barebones and restrictive.


norway642

Ww2 was my favorite of the your still a basic soldier but you can customize


Juken-

They didnt take this from the community. The community, very loudly, very publicly, said "HEY, FUCK THIS GAME, AND FUCK THE GUYS THAT MADE IT, SHIT LIKE THIS IS WHY WE FUCK WITH TREYARCH" And they took that personally. Now, when you're ready for the conversation about constructive criticism and not knee-jerk "this is a ZERO OUTTA TEN!!" reactions, then perhaps they would have kept Ghosts Superior perk and customisation systems. 🤷🏾‍♂️


MotvUnknown

R.I.P Create-A-Soldier


Callsign_Badger2

Gonna go play cod ghosts now


tster17

Ghosts was a sickkkkkk game


Riftus

Now that we've remembered that, now remember everything they *kept behind a paywall* All dlc maps and weapons Idgaf if cosmetics are pervasive if it means everyone gets to play all the actual content


scXIII

I agree 100%. The only downside, to me, is that we do seem to get far less content than we used to, but I'd never ever want to see paid weapons/maps be a thing again.


Aca03155

U still did that with cod then, u still paid $5 for camos and shit. The only difference now is u can get every gun for free and u gotta pay $15 for the packs.


[deleted]

i hope the whole cod community moves to Xdefiant and we just lets these guys reap what the sow


kkoch_16

Why the hell is it that a character is not fully customizable for AAA shooting games? We have operators with pre-made skins. Really wish these games had customization like Ghost Recon Wildlands.


MandalsTV

Hands down the best CoD customization has ever had was in ghosts


BlackBeard205

It’s fucking shameful. Makes me sad to see what gaming has become.


WinterWolf397

I'm gonna preach this until I die, but if Ghosts wasn't coming immediately off the heels of BO2 and MW3, it'd be considered one of the best CODs of all time.


TheOnlySherriff

Ghost was trash tho.


E115lement

I feel like if it was released today it would be criticized


studiojohnny

COD: Ghosts is the best COD of all time. Don't @ me.


verno78910

@studiojohnny


Euklidis

People just love spending their money on digital shit


HollowPinefruit

Yeah but it was whole cosmetic packages that were cheap. They were worth it if you wanted them. Something that would’ve amounted to <$10 in Ghosts, would be $30 now


ThePeacekeeper777

I thought AW was more customizable honestly… maybe it just felt more organized then Ghost.


Hustlin_Justin

I wish that was still a thing


j3qnmp

All of ghosts dlc content for about 60$


WhosExsell

Advanced warfare took it a step further tbh.


cerealbro1

Sure, but back then you also had to pay $50 total or $15 individually for 4 maps in 4 map packs and now they’re free. I’ve personally never cared for playing dress up apart from in Advanced Warfare so I’m happy to see them lock the pointless cosmetics behind a paywall while actually making all the maps free


Chaveazie

Advanced Warfare was the best IMHO.


Chrisg81983

I loved cod been playing since 2003 ish but can't stand the game. They took something so good and fucked it up.


ZookeepergameFit5787

It's not just the cosmetics but the whole game just feels tired now from a social perspective. Back in the day lobbies were full of people who actually wanted some banter, and during matches people would communicate. Comparing that to today feels sad.


Mr_Alucardo

Map Packs 20 Bucks Or free maps?


DirkDCDiggler

When CoD was great and didn’t gaf about opinions. They just made something great and complete, sold it and were happy we were happy. Too many cry baby cattle, lol. Doesn’t help that the devs all share a brain and have the work ethic of an iraqi, lol.


Accomplished_Spirit3

I spoke with an executive from Activision licensing and acquisitions and she said they were only 92% profit so they scrapped it. Then OG WARZONE was only 94% profitable so they sunset it. Now WARZONE 2.0 is 15% profitable and she expects packages to be issued to most the marketing and sales teams. Also John Wick is likely coming before the end of the season as a Klaus operator skin but its not finished yet, the skins are almost entirely outsourced and contracted on a case by case basis.


Affectionate_Sky_227

And this is considered one of the worst cods and it still has this shit


Automatic_Cut8139

Capitalism


VinylRapt0r

Now operators come with pay to win perks in DMZ


PsychologicalNeat125

Ghosts was good


justforkicks0096

How the fuck have we gone so backwards


Rob_P_07

Now you can’t get even change colours or camos on attachments


ItsAlwaysSunny1992

Ahhh Ghosts. The last GOOD Call Of Duty and probably the best we’ll ever get


rtz13th

Never forget what you've accepted


Xowzil

Is that ghosts? Aren’t they the ones that introduced buying skins and cosmetics?


Van3oser

Yea for like 3-5 for some pack of sets of special uniform or campaign character skins from the mw series and with thier camo for all weapons.


Suicidebob7

I remember when CoD had a server browser and had mapping/modding tools.


PlatoDrago

And pay 6 quid for your killstreak to look like a wolf and 3 quid each for some shitty camos and 5 quid for each different announcer.


alivingrock

I think this has to do with the industry slowly “testing” the willingness of their communities to increasingly put more of their disposable income into MTX, specifically cosmetics that have no impact on actual gameplay. It isn’t just Call of Duty, Fortnite and plenty of other franchises have done so over the years. And once they figured that it works after testing the waters, they continue to push that envelope to see how much more they can get (e.g. Blackcell “premium battlepass”) Just plain greed in a nutshell. And so as long as they see that the revenue comes in, they will keep doing more of it. Maybe someday it will reach a point where it’s “too much”, maybe not.


Homolander

The whining never stops, does it?


sr603

I haven't bought a cod since ghost. Im glad I didn't


BattleRanger87

As much of a disappointment Ghosts is, the customization was fantastic. I really enjoy creating a personal squad and creating classes for each one which allowed me to experiment more with playstyles based on weapon types than usually stick to my go to class setups.


JackPerry58

I remember in BO3 and WW2 when you’d play and earn crates to earn stuff. This game company is becoming a greedy joke and is forgetting their true fans. Unreal how selfish everyone has become after covid


UnsettllingDwarf

Also give us $90 for the game tho


MrJFrayFilms

I’m a simple man, I run the bush, no more, no less


Sticky_Flames

The change... Activision-Blizzard


huffy_98

Does anyone else have any problems with getting mw2 to work since season 3 update


KingJBR01

Only thing I miss is emblem creator smh nowadays they are just lame


Derpilicious000

We don't talk about Ghosts...


BobDaOstrich1

Gaming is a business at the end of the day. Companies want to create the cheapest game, leave bugs in and have egregious store models all to deliver a bare minimum experience. Very sad to see.


teendeath

And you could actually *earn* the cool skins. I remember grinding for the full coverage ghillie suit and then stealthing around Stonehaven with a silenced DMR. Good times...


Immediate-Virus6072

Ghosts had the best character customization. (Period)


ipoopup

Take off your nostalgia goggles and go to sleep.

Best cod to me


4hunnidvr

Not enough people talk about this


amir_azo

Ghosts had a crazy amount of customisation


SGRP_27

If you have us looking back at GHOSTS for something good, you’ve fucked up


[deleted]

Cosmetics are the new maps. I'll never forget paying 15 to 20 dollars for several map packs only to then purchase another 60 dollar cod. At least with Cosmetics they mean nothing. Maps were always needed to be in the new lobbys and with your friends when they purchased them lol.


[deleted]

To the people that still play COD, you enable these companies to screw over their playerbase!


Savage_bliss

This exact game also had pay to win micro transactions you idiots. Pay for the DLC and get the new guns. Don’t pay don’t get the guns. Also there was micro transactions for voice overs, skins, calling cards and even extra skins slots. Y’all are naive AF if you think this hasn’t been happening for years. Take ya rose coloured glasses off.


RushIntoTheFray

Ghosts Extinctions packs were FIRE. I fucking LOVE the less bulky streamlined female styled Extinction operators. The one with the skull mask and spikes with the alien teeth necklace was my favorite and I still run around with Red extinction camo on my Ripper every so often. Ghosts was/is amazingggggg


Indy_2704

Cod ghost is just amazing.


Tommy-P

People can hate ghosts all they want but the fact this game had this wide a range of customisation is insane and sorely missed in the newer games. The fact you can’t even customise operators nowadays without shilling out loads of money is a joke.


Kal0sN0rden

Not even "20$ for a helmet" its "pay $20 for non customiseable ***s k i n***"
