It’s actually funny how this all happened THIS October. Reinventing the wheel over and over doesn’t work, people!
Get black ops 7 the fuck off of there.
Why? They did what every player has been wanting since MW2019 with the matchmaking, disbanding lobbies, and aim assist. That alone made the beta WAY more fun than ANY CoD game I’ve played since Cold War.
is this a bit or are you really this cringy? the game isn’t even out for a month, dipshit. and it’s gonna be the same overmonetized overmarketed bullshit we’ve been getting for years, with a placebo matchmaking change on top. simmer down.
“placebo”
Bro’s really self-reporting. The change for me was instant, I was actually getting a VTOL Warship almost every game, and NONE of my matches were “You are the carry, here’s 5 kids who never touched a controller while the enemy team has average players that curbstomp your short bus teammates”. Nor was I getting multiple bad matches in a row after a string of good matches. If you thought literally nothing changed then I’m sorry but you’re just actual fucking trash and were being protected by the matchmaking.
Sorry for your skill issue diagnosis.
why do you think i wasted my time on bo7 lol. is this a shitty guerrilla marketing attempt?
If I was getting paid by Activision I wouldn’t be doing this on Lemmy of all places lmao, and I wouldn’t like to take money from them anyway cause they’d probably force me to not talk shit about the game. But I genuinely think just the matchmaking change completely transformed the game. Before the open playlist came out, I was not hyped for it at all, but after that it actually made me look forward to the game. But if you think it’s literally the same matchmaking… Then I don’t know how to tell you you’re just not that guy.
not that guy.
not that guy who pays $70 a year to play the same game over and over again?
you’ve literally only played the open beta. it will take maybe two weeks for anyone who’s not sweaty as fuck to abandon the sweaty as fuck playlist lmao.
‘i can’t be a marketing goon, i’m on an unpopular platform’ durrr as if that’s not how this shit started on reddit too. if it walks like a stooge and quacks like a stooge i’m gonna call it out as a stooge, or why would you be simping for an UNRELEASED GAME?
Well, for one, the playlist is becoming the default matchmaking for all modes, so I suppose you’d not have fun regardless with your massive skill issue. Also, I don’t buy CoD every year, sometimes I skip them, and I didn’t even buy BO6 because I had PC Game Pass with Microsoft Rewards… until Microsoft ruined both, that is. And third, do you also make fun of Counter-Strike players for essentially playing the same game, on the exact same maps, for 26 fucking years? I do know CS2 is free but the fact of the matter is that it’s the same exact game at its core since 1.6.
The Pokemon game that locked features and Pokemon behind paid DLC released alongside the game revitalized the franchise? Fuck that. I’ve bought every Pokemon game since Red and every console to play them on, but it’ll be a cold day in hell before I give them more money when they’re just going to use to sue smaller developers and while letting fascists co-opt their music and imagery.
To be fair the “DLC” isn’t actually available until 2026, what they have released now is basically a pre-order, still scummy but not as bad as you’re implying. Edit:for clarity, they didn’t cut anything out of the game, they just have a pre-order for the DLC.
If before you’ve even finished a project you’ve already decided part of it won’t be included in the original project unless the user pays extra, that’s the definition of scummy.
My only gripes with Pokemon Z/A is the lack of abilities and not being able to leave the city.
I’m also scared that since it’s a “Legends” game and not a mainline game we may go back to turn based.
I… Would not call a game a “main” game unless it were turn-based. Like, that’s kind of the whole point.
