(I will not ever stay, you can hand me 5 losses to my record, I don't care). The first team to claim the zone will usually snowball this lead right to the end of the game - it's quite common to see games ending anywhere from 3:1 to 10:1 for the winning team.Įvery time I'm auto-filled in a Drop Zone, it's something around 13-200 and there are no less than 2 aircraft raining down death into the thick white phosphorus cloud of death. So it should be obvious why DZ is so terrible. It's basically like playing Mario Kart, and giving the first place person the blue shell instead and letting them blast the people behind. Effectively, you feel like a rat in a maze, while someone shoots at you from above. Without proper communication, and everyone running their own loadouts - probably farming their own guns, most people just end up hiding inside some house or corner, while the enemy can just steamroll through. COD has some excellent standard gunplay - perhaps a bit arcady with how "laserbeam"ish the weapons are, and would be fun even without the nonsense that killstreaks add - I get that they have been a staple of the franchise for a long time, but that doesn't mean they were ever good.īut I hear people saying "lolnoob just shoot it down" - this doesn't work in a random lobby. and worst of all, these killstreaks will murder your top players who may have been close to calling in their own killstreak. The enemy team still has a chance at some counterplay, and everyone is fine with it.Īt their worst, killstreaks beat you down the the point where you cannot recover and the enemy just gets too much from it - too many points, too much ground, etc. At their best, killstreaks offer a minor bonus to the person/team calling one in. Killstreaks are fundamentally flawed because those who are ahead, just snowball even harder. DZ just exacerbates the worst part of COD, which is killstreaks - bit of a hot take, but hear me out. Not in the good "WOW so much chaos, crazy action all over the place" kind of way. Free weekend thoughts: While I appreciated the larger variety of maps this time, I have to say that Drop Zone was consistently a massive poop show every game.
