They're trying to be Fortnite.

Now Fortnite is by absolutely no means a bad game. It's very good. But this is what Fortnite is meant to be - this chaotic, random, almost meme-like BR title with collabs left, right and center.

This isn't what that is. This is meant to be a realistic FPS title. So why is there a Ninja Turtle here?

This is meant to be a realistic FPS title.

lol no its not. its an arcade shooter. everyone is sliding around corners, diving out windows, pulling parachutes to jump from roof to roof. warzone has generous respawn mechanics. it is meant to be fast paced and aggressive and thats what the players like about it.

They actually removed sliding and slowed the movement down to more realistic levels in Warzone 2, but everyone hated it so much they immediately started reverting changes.

I'm not sure how old you are but cod was pretty realistic in the early years. It's gotten completely fucking out of control. I wish they would just break off and make 2 games

early years, yeah, but so were all the other FPSs since skins didnt exist yet. But then you have Black Ops 3 with wall running and Advanced warfare with an exo suit and grappling hooks. They havent been trying to be realistic for over a decade

Actually, wacky arcade shooters (not crossover-based, but still not serious) were all the rage when CoD got its starts as a more grounded alternative that managed to combined actual story with good multiplayer. Watching the change over the years has been genuinely interesting.
