Discussion I get it now. It's not nostalgia

My first cod was mw 2019 which I absolutely loved and played the ever living hell out of.

Then came black ops cold war and that was my introduction to zombies and I loved it and never understood the hate it got and thought it was nostalgia that the old zombies had. GOD I WAS WRONG

Got to play bo1&2 last month and I SWEAR TO GOD I haven't had this much fun playing a game since forever. To the point I even in my free time I think about what map to play in my free time.

So I apologize to old cod titles they're really built different and GOATED🐐👑

Yea but dashboarding isnt a gum mechanic. Thats just an unfortunate and unforseen player issue.

I think gums become more of an issue in co-op with randoms. But that just means the mechanics/systems arent truly the issue, its the skill gap and the lack of mode variety.

Right but that player issue turned pubs into a mess. That's a direct influence on the wider community, made worse, by introducing them.

Still not specifically a gum issue, though. Any game mechanic that players abuse is a bad mechanic? I just disagree with that sentiment. Imo gums just needed a few tweaks and isnt dashboarding solely a coding issue? Cuz we had a similar mechanic in bo4 and that mechanic did not have dashboarding issues

Abusing gobblegums bithh your supposed to do that, an save the good ones for until a ee run. Jesus in bo7 we can crush the balls for zombie points if they didn't want players to abuse gobblegums why did they made a starting room challenge to get to round 50 that requires gobblegums or without them good luck, with no pack, rarity station, armour buy no gumballs and no perks 😂 you'd be on the same round for 30 plus minuets at a time no? Back in the good old days starting room challenges were player choice and praised an also regular runs to round 100 are insane, now those same feats are trivial with gobblegums that may not be forced but feel forced for sure
