    Amen brother. I've been playing COD for less than 3 years and it took me a long time to realize that not everybody was trying to win the match. It finally dawned on me in a game of HP when I called out my team for not helping me get on the point and one player responded "Dude, no one is getting on the point. We're just trying to level up our guns." I responded with "you can do both at the same time." And I got back "I know. We just don't want to." I literally could not believe my ears. Who in the world can engage in a contest where there is a winner and a loser and not have a preference to be on the winning side? You can be in a hotly contested match coming right down to the wire and yet it would appear that there is nothing that will trigger some people's competitive spirit to help complete the objective to help the team win.
    I think that people's obsession with K/D ratio is another barrier to the enjoyment of this game. People get bored because they play every game the same way...maximize kills...optimize K/D. Doesn't matter what game mode they're playing every match the same way. And then they blame the lack of variety in games on SBMM. The sooner we forget about K/D, focus on W/L and let the camo challenges happen naturally instead of making it a race to mastery the more fun we're gonna have. In BO6 my K/D sucks, my W/L is 1.6, I know that the headshots will come naturally and I am enjoying the hell outta the game. Play the objective folks; SBMM will cease to be an issue for you and you'll have more fun.

      Yeah the KD campers can be annoying. Can’t lie sometimes I can start worrying about KD but after being 3 prestige I am tired of playing this way, it’s boring and makes my games WAY sweatier which leads to KD staying pretty constant at 1.3KD. Idk why I even cared this long about KD but I’m over it for sure. The camo grind also started getting me burnt out and frustrated.

    I've been grinding Zombies for the camo and I can careless for doing well in Multiplayer. TMAL is a great example of doing well but, not caring for a loss. Just having fun is my goal. Testing new guns and not staggering on the same three guns is what I have fun with.

    I played a match where a guy had a gold XM4 on the opposite team. The first day of release. But then, my team beat him, with him scoring middle of the team, and trash talking our guy who got the play of the game.

      I've been playing CoD on console for about 20 years, and the only guns i put camos on are the pistols. I respect a gold/diamond pistol... that takes some familiarity with the weapon. On the other hand, gold on a rifle is not much of a flex, especially in BO6. if you struggle to get 100 head shots with a ranged weapon, then you might need some practice. Those dopes that trash talk other players are tedious AF. I always mute the lobby in general multiplayer. Fuck those dudes @austinhawkins3307

    I felt this entirely after reaching prestige 3, which is indisputably the best-looking rank emblem for this game. Watching creators get both Multiplayer, Zombies, and still have any energy to tackle the Warzone camo grind is insanity to me. I hit my mental limit whilst trying to get a bounce kill with a smoke grenade during peak hours in hardcore. I'm taking challenges in this game as bite-sized pieces from here on out for my mental health's sake.

      Personally I think Prestige 8 and Mastery looks coolest, but I agree with what you’re saying.
      I got snipers diamond in a day (I mainly quickscope) and then I went to SMGs and those headshots took days for me. To the point that now doing any other weapon feels so tedious and annoying

    • @dillonc7955
      @dillonc7955 Місяць тому

      ​@apollodivine To be fair, headshots in BO6 Multiplayer are the hardest in the series yet as the multipliers are garbage for most automatics even with the CHF barrel. Not to mention omni movement making targets even harder to track. I don't blame anyone for struggling or giving up on the camo grind this year. I'm only doing zombies along with just marksman rifles and pistols in Multiplayer.

    I never was a fan of grinding for camos or visual stuff that you ultimately won't focus on, but the 1 thing I consistently LOVED grinding was the Titanfall 2 Pilot executions - each of them were very different and each of the ones you could unlock via tasks weren't a huge difficulty and often were a reward by playing the class/pilot you chose. I found great satisfaction in setting the execution to random and doing an execution on another player and seeing the one I worked hard for coming up. I never felt like I had to sacrifice the game or objective to be able to get these rewards, I could just slightly adjust my playstyle to get the rewards

    This is why I don't "Go for mastery camos," and what I mean by that is, I play the game normally and just let the camos come naturally. I still get the mastery camo every year, but I dont hard focus it like it's the only reason to play the game. Sure, in MW3 there were some camos that I actually had to focus on to finish, but by and large, a lot of camos can be unlocked simply by playing the game. And that's true this year more than ever now that 60% of the grind is headshots, 13% is unique challenges, and the other 27% is kill chains.
    My brother is completely demotivated to play the game because he isn't having fun grinding camos, so I told him to just stop grinding and just play the game and let the camos come naturally and he was like, "No, I'm not doing that cause it'll take longer if I'm not hard focusing camos," but what he doesn't realize is, 87% of the grind can be done passively without actually focusing it at all.

    Getting kills with headshots was the most satisfying and seamless way to get camos. I’d go a bit over that just to get gold camo, just like I did on CoD 4. The way the camo grind has evolved really got out of hand though, prestige is creepingly getting close and I hope it doesn’t get worse.

    sorry about the caps, i would also like to add, my primary disagreement with the camo grind is that it forces you to understand the strengths and weakness of each gun, giving you a very full understanding of the battlefield.... i would say while in the grind you are mostly worse maybe... but once you complete you should be more complete. additionally as a working man, it keeps me playing by giving a goal i can reach unlike the idea of ever becoming a pro, more hours in game will make me better overall no matter what💁‍♂ just my thoughts

    Coming from BFV with 5k hours there CoD definitely doesn't have the replayability. There is a reason they have a new game every year. This is the first CoD I have kinda fully commited to the skin grind and yeah most of what you have said makes sense. Not to mention how predictable the game is getting... like in battlefield I didn't bother remembering the spawns and there were so many lanes to take to an objective you never had an I am just going to throw an grenade down this lane and try to get lucky within 2 seconds of the match starting you needed a bomber plaen to do that 💩 and you could defend against it. On this game not so much, the grenade spam due to blast damage and range is ridiculous. Not to mention the netcode difference of the mover shooter given priority combine that with thrle desync and movement , hipfire and ads buffs. Sometimes you can't even shoot back preaimed ads, you see 1 bullet and they weren't even on your screen long enough to aim at them and pull the trigger... (my network is wired fiber, A+ bufferbloat, on a 1ms g70b monitor, 25ms latancy) so yeah the grind 100% makes your worse not playing the meta or having played so much in the first 2 weeks of the game you haven't completed the grind they have and you are screwed playing against meta bs whilst grinding. Not to mention the SBMM stay away from leveling the good guns you go from your lower skill lobby's from grinding to your ultra sweats real fast if you show even an slither of your skill with a good gun. Then it won't drop you back down skill levels for 6-10 games after that... crap guns first and stay on them till you only have the good guns left.
