@puppycelebrity @brundleman Immersion is a huge thing for bethesda' style of RPGs. It's one of the main draws of them for me.
I don't really mind the loading screens in starfield at all, but "immersion" is a perfectly valid reason to like or dislike a thing.
English
@brundleman immersion is a requirement for a simulator, not for a sci fi rpg. i’d much rather the game make me feel invested in it than immersed.
English
i feel like you shouldn’t be able to criticize this unless you can explain why it’s bad without using the words “immersive”, “outdated”, or “realistic”

The Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5 are confirmed to be running on the Creation Engine This means they will very likely both still require loading screens when entering Interiors. I think this is one of the biggest weaknesses of Bethesda games, it really does feel outdated…

@jeffro_boy @NerosCinema Getting different matches based on who is playing the game is exactly what you would expect WITHOUT SBMM. If you had SBMM you’d be getting similar skill matches regardless of who’s playing because that’s what the matchmaking would be optimizing for.
English
@Pearticle @NerosCinema People bought the game, realized that the matchmaking wasn't the same as the beta, and stopped playing because of that, or just didn't buy it at all because people are tired of the way MP is. People are getting shit on in that game because the only ones playing it are sweats

Unless there is a class of geniuses that I have never interacted with, I don’t understand how the human mind can do deep work for a full work day and then spend their breaks doing this stuff?

This game looks fucking terrible

@Pearticle @NerosCinema If they did it it BO7 this gentleman wouldn't have needed to say it to their faces lmao

@feyriswheel Liberal/Relativist/Idealist way of thinking.
No, not all things are equivalent and there isn't something good to take on every side.
Overwatch is made for 6v6 and only fully work with this.
English
To be honest the 5v5 and 6v6 debate comes down to what you want out of the game.
If you prefer the intricacies that make hero shooters beautiful, balance, and skill being more valuable than hero selection, then you'll prefer 6v6.
If you prefer simply getting fast games and want less big plays to be made, you'll prefer 5v5.
Also quick correction, but supports aren't healbots in 6v6. It just requires skill to find the opportunities to make plays as support rather than just being spoon fed free value for cd dumping the tanks. Back in OW1, the highest ranked support mains would always tell people to NOT be healbots, because healbotting back then would never get you to high elo.
Idk why 5v5 players just ignore literal historical facts about the game.

The 5v5 and 6v6 debate deadass just comes down to what heroes you play and what they’re better in. For example Mercy is the most fun hero in 5v5 and genuinely horrid to play in 6v6. Meanwhile Juno is landslides more fun in 6v6. Support just feels healbotty in 6v6 too

@CODPersonal @ItzPerka You clearly don’t play the game. SBMM is alive and well in bo7. It’s unplayable

@Pearticle @kyfriedfella @matt503ea5sf9z5 Not really. Distillation requires WORK - time in code and dev and GPU / compute time. Plus costs of using the API to distill from.

@Brodizzleee @tdawgsmitty Fair there is extra friction in PC if you use plutonium. But still the option is there.
English
@Pearticle @tdawgsmitty Last time I played the 360 version (2022?) I got spin botted through walls.
Classic CODs on PC don't have aim assist on controller. There are 3rd party mods (plutonium) but I'm very firmly in the boat of just playing the game.
Extra friction = lesser experience = lesser joy.
English
I actually really like the way modern warfare plays including the movement.
I am just suggesting classic mode because I think a lot of folks will give this game a chance and it could be great for the overall health of the game
But maybe it’s as simple as MW4 is for the modern fan and the ports are for the uncs
English
@tdawgsmitty Just remove slide cancel. If you initiate a slide, you should finish it. That's balanced. That's how it was originally intended.
English
@Ameer_lx570 @tdawgsmitty Well luckily for you, if you can’t compete with the movement sweats the SBMM will largely keep them away from you.
English
@tdawgsmitty I’m in my 20s and I the new movements are too sweaty. I prefer the old movements in bo1 and bo2. The new movements are too sweaty for me. As a business owner that work from home I just want to load and get into a casual game I don’t want to go against someone jumping and sliding.
English
@Spartan3319 @tdawgsmitty Yeah. Back in the day you’d have people host stuff like tactical crouch servers. Having a reduced movement mode would kind of be like making that kind of mode, just as an official playlist.
English
@tdawgsmitty I enjoy both, im 25 so I grew up with BO2, but was still young when MW19 came out with the faster movement. I want a classic playlist because id like to slow things doen from time to time, but also have moments to enjoy fast paced movement. HAVING THE OPTION HURTS NO ONE!!!
English
@Brodizzleee @tdawgsmitty Can’t you play the 360 version with back compat? And on PC it’s been there the whole time. I routinely go back and play the old games on PC every few years.
English
@tdawgsmitty Except the ports are on one system and thus not accessible to every unc…
English
Classic mode was to remove the wall jumping and crazy movement which MW4 won’t have so… why would there be?

Infinity Ward does not have plans for a 'Classic Mode' in Modern Warfare 4 for now
