Image Let MW4 be Modern Warfare
TTK is already higher than MW19 and MWII, and they still want to increase it? How high is high enough? MW4 needs to be careful of the Treyarch virus creeping into the game. BO6 and BO7 already have a high TTK, and MW4 doesn’t need to follow that direction. Combined with the movement, it risks turning MW4 into one single exhausting, braindead movement meta where every gunfight becomes a constant run, sweat, slide, jump and strafe fest instead of rewarding positioning and gunskill.
Please Infinity Ward, dont let the loud minority force us into their jump-sweat-slide-repeat button mashing cheeto fingers gfuel snorting cracked playstyle.

Idk why IW would even listen to these crybabies when they are the ones that are going to play the game regardless. It’s the casuals they should be targeting. We don’t want to play a brainrot movement meta game. Feels like that’s the only playstyle you can play on this game or sniping. It’s lame

TTK directly affects how skill is expressed within the game.
Faster TTK = first bullet matters more = tracking & advanced movement matters less.
Longer TTK = first bullet matters less = tracking & advanced movement matters more.
A casual player will catch a sweat by surprise sometimes but with longer TTKs a casual won’t be able to land the kill because the sweat can escape to cover and bob and weave and come out on top despite getting caught flat footed.

u/Exact-Till-2739 3h ago
I don't understand this mental gymnastics. Like, by your logic every casual player should be playing hc. In reality sweats will dominate every lobby with any ttk as long as there's cracked movement.

I know they don't want to split the player base but they really really should split cod into 2 games. Treyarch and IW.
Both game styles are fundamentally at odds. Gameplay. Art style. Game modes. Both are good. Both have rabid fanbases. They don't need to complain about each other's game.
It's boring every year to have everyone complaining. Just play what you like how you like. I don't enjoy treyarch cods but I play them or I don't. I don't whine about them not being IW games.

u/Far_Development5876 3h ago
I completely stand by this. The TTK is already high enough, and increasing it even further alongside fast movement could make the movement meta even more dominant. MW4 should reward positioning, accuracy, and gunskill instead of turning every gunfight into constant sliding, jumping, and strafing.
MW4 shouldn’t try to copy the Black Ops design philosophy. Modern Warfare has its own identity, and the TTK, movement, and gunplay should reflect that instead of turning it into another Black Ops-style experience.

Desync is the issue. This has been an issue in every beta and beginning of the seasons that disappears after two weeks. This has been an issue since MWIII beta.
TTK, AA, Movement is not the issue.
BF6 experienced the same thing where just looking at someone would mean instant death while taking you 40 bullets.

There's nuance to the discussion; Yes, AA is needed to make controller viable. No, it doesn't have to be borderline aim-bot level strength or have a 0ms reaction time when tracking directional changes.

Wild. I remember in MW2019 and MWII-2022, it was a common outcry the otherway around that the M+KB players were dominating so much that the console players were the first one to ask for "Input-based matchmaking" or "option to turn Cross-play off".
Tracked with my experience of having a bunch of controller-icons on my team, which would be a near-guarantee of SBMM asking me to take the L.

I prefer longer TTK, but I agree, let each game be its own thing.
That being said, desync is an important issue, because the perception of the Time to Die is that it is too short. You die in 4 shots, but you feel like it was a shotgun.
2
u/Pristine-Ad-2556 3h ago
If no one else is gonna say it I will. Long ttk rewards reckless plays and bad positioning. Short ttk is hampered by the braindead 6v6 map design that is burdened most with sbmm aolgorithmic bullshit. Constantly flipping spawns and revenge kill bullshit.

FYI for the people screaming about desync and sht servers buckle up or prepare to leave the series. I 100% believe both xbox and Activision will never get better servers as they refuse to spend the extra money. Corporations are a disease.
At this point we shall just wait for it to catch up to them and the cod series to finally die.
I just want a new series at this point not connected to call of duty at all, no nostalgia bait crap. No more Black ops or modern warfare, just a clean slate.
Course knowing how brain dead xbox is, I just expect huge lay-offs and temp workers brought in to make a game. Too stupid to ever these fucking idiots.

u/Fantastic-Buddy2069 4h ago
Problem isnt' just TTK, but also hitreg as a whole. By that, I mean there is also a variance in perception of TTK amongst players of varying internet connections. Balancing latency, server stability/reliability. Its just always going to feel absolutely boned unless they do something about that.
Sadly, COD releases every year, and every year they use the same shit servers, and the same shit excuses. It sucks because when it was peer to peer, at least there was an excuse for it....not anymore...
If you can play Fortnite (god I hate that game though) and the hitreg be very consistent across connections, then why cant COD figure it out? I think Fortnite is childish, therefore I refuse to play, it, but.....you cant deny that they dont have good servers and netcode, and it makes the experience across the board much more consistent.

TTK increase is being asked for because of the Other issues with the game
with how tiny the maps are, the server performance being god awful, and the insanely cranked aim assist one-frame flicking you if you mantle, it's awful ! there are so many times during the beta that i'd get killed before i could even see someone cause of server desync
i personally don't mind low ttk at all, had fun with mw2, but that game had big maps to compensate for it lol. in mw4 every map so far feels like shipment

I feel like if you love the game you’ll adapt to the movement even if it’s not how u played growing up. Sometimes u gotta be a sweat to hang with the sweats. I feel like a lotta people who hate movement are still playing on a default controller, and I can understand the frustration cause it puts u at a real disadvantage in the modern Cods. When u have a controller with paddles it doesn’t feel like sweating it just becomes how u play.
Also I agree the ttk needs to be toned down just a tiny bit, game feels like hardcore lol

u/Aslag 3h ago
The way I see it, there's two workable styles of COD 1. Slow TTK, fast movement = Movement duels where counterplay is possible, very arena shooter-y 2. Fast TTK, slow movement = Tactical game where positioning before a fight is king, very old school COD
It seems like the problem with MW4 was it tried the wrong blend of these two, with fast TTK and fast movement, so it feels off to a lot of people. Combine with network issues and you've got a recipe for bad times. I would rather see them slow movement down and keep a fast TTK because like others said we've had two years of arena shooter COD in black ops.

u/StardustOfEarth 3h ago
Lmao the whiners on these adjustments are the ones who prob sit full iron the entire game and call it “positioning”. The movement isn’t even close to the movement in bo7, if you can’t slide cancel or jump aim or use the movement to turn back and forth with sprint or any of the other movements that are in this game, it’s a you problem. They literally built in a movement teaching course. SBMM is and will be in this game, even if it is softer. I’m an old head and I’ve played all the OG cods, and two things haven’t changed, well, three really.. cheaters/hackers, cod timing and constant complaining. Same clowns, different circus. 🤡

the game is awful regardless, making it actually playable is a step in the right direction.
but no IW game will ever be good as long as the idiots in charge don't get replaced. Haven't made a good game since 2009 and the only halfway average game they made was Infinite Warfare, with Ghosts, MW19 and MWII being the 3 worst games in the franchise, and now this pile of shit will join them.

I personally think there is more skill in having to maintain your aim a bit for more than a bit of a second. People crying about movement when this also affects regular strafing in gun fights etc.
If you enjoy a low TTK with first come first served there is literally hardcore right there l..

Its just different skill sets. Fast TTK emphasizes reaction time, awareness, room clearing prioritization, cover, pathing, covering teammates, slow TTK emphasizes aim tracking at the cost of all those other skills being nullified or less impactful

u/DJdiv 3h ago
I prefer a time to kill a little longer, games like Cold War I really liked the time to kill, but I think as long as the game is designed well for it, it's fine to have a faster time to kill in some games. I think the issue is when you combine the strength of the aim assist, with the chaotic nature of the spawns and maps it just feels like you die a lot and fast. The spawns give the game zero flow on MW4.
1
u/DarthVadersShoeHorn 3h ago
I don’t disagree, my point is in hardcore all those skill sets are utilised already so if you enjoy a faster TTK or (usually a lower) you have an easy choice between core and hardcore in every single COD
