Idk man there is just something about this game that takes me back to 2009. It really feels like a complete remake of what made MW2 fun with the additions to modern movement mechanics and killstreak balance changes. Although I still wish killstreaks would be reworked or removed from the franchise the gunplay in this game is just so immensely satisfying and fun I can't help but keep coming back to it. Pair that with the high accessibility to an extraction royale mode (DMZ) I can enjoy short bursts of the enjoyment one might get out of Tarkov without having to invest hundreds of hours to understand the base game mechanics.
The biggest pro I can think of is how much they slowed everything down from MW2019 and more recent COD games. You will still find people zooming at 1000mph around corners but they are punished pretty aggressively for doing so. No longer is everybody sonic the hedgehog jumping like Master Chief. The game relies much more on map knowledge, aim, and timing than movement skill. For that I love it.
Although the community sucks and the maps for the most part suck the core gameplay is IMO the pinnacle of the franchise. Between customizing weapons and tuning them to be "perfect" to what you want out of them to the more goofy sides of exploits people keep pulling off this is objectively the best (and last) Call of Duty I will ever play. There is a lot of drama right now with the lifespan of the game and a lot of issues people have with the direction Activision seem to want to take the COD franchise in the future which I can agree with. But if you just want a good arcade FPS game that has some of the best feeling guns in any game to date this is the game for you. The cost/content ratio is also tremendous for a typical AAA style game.
To summarize what you get with this game
- Fully Fleshed out Multiplayer with really good new gamemodes
- Warzone & DMZ on two fantastically designed maps
- A full (albeit IMO bland and boring) Campaign
- 4 large scale Co-op missions for your and a friend to get really into
And all 3 of the non campaign modes are getting updated with new content every 3-6 months? Count me in!
