Culture maybe, but she spent the last 5 years on COD so you can be sure nothing about the games will improve

As if modern Overwatch has much it can lose from a COD-centric influence. πŸ˜… That game has nosedived so hard unter their internal pressure to prioritize e-sports and pro gamers above the current playerbase which at the time was a widest-net casual playerbase that made friends of all kinds play Overwatch together.

Good for the devs, seem to have worked out and secured their jobs at lea... oh. Well fuck Overwatch e-sports then.

Just more status quo with their shooters. They were all already headed to mtx hell.

Modern Warfare 1 and 2 were great.

They were great. All the post launch cosmetics ruined it.

I erased my original reply twice. You’re right, I stopped playing because I found all the cosmetics ridiculous and repulsive.

What, you don't want to run around as Homelander or Nikki Minaj? They perfectly fit in with the feel of a semi-tactical first person shooter!

No they weren't. Unless you mean COD4 and the OG MW2 and 3. Sure.

The franchise has been held up by marketing cash and DOD money for a while now, and it sucks ass.

I had a blast playing with friends and DMZ was refreshing. I wish they’d brought that out of beta.
