It's probably not a good sign that I haven't thought about this game since I played the beta.
Yeah the gun mechanics and gun sounds were wack
I honestly think this is going to be a good game. I hear a lot of people complain because it's a next-gen game and should have super high quality graphics that should beat MW by a mile. But for the most part, I'm pretty sure that's on purpose for easier visibility reasons and a more arcade-type experience that Treyarch hell Call of Duty all together is known for. In MW, unless the enemy wears a pink or orange jacket, everything is brown and gray and blends in together and the maps are designed for more strategic gameplay (i.e. corners and lanes in every direction) I had a serious blast with the Beta last night. Being able to be a little more free with my movement and not having to look around every corner every other second is a bit of a relief from this years MW. (MW is still a hella lot of fun btw). I haven't bothered too much with the gunsmith yet since I was just focused on playing and having a blast. The gum mechanics are good in my opinion and I think the movement is nice and buttery. Again, my opinion. But, to anyone who read down this far, go play the beta when it goes out for everything on the 10th but try with an open mind. Don't think because it's not like MW it's bad, try thinking that that's a good thing. Because we all know if it was just like MW, everyone would then complain about that and just play MW. It's human nature but that's how it is. Seriously though, if you like OG COD, this is for you. Just give it a try, you'll probably like it.
