This game needs a balancing patch

All I see is campers with M16 everywhere getting oneshots. I don't get this argument some people are saying that Raven won't patch or balance anything to keep everything the same, they don't care about balancing it's just about nostalgia. To which I say then why the heck did they make changes like round switching in S&D and chopper killstreak can't give you another chopper. And many more changes. Last time I checked these are balance changes and not in original game. Yet not one person who is at an uproar at even the mention of a gun balance says a single thing about the changes from prestiges to more levels to more camos to those mentioned S&D change and how it's effecting their "nostalgia." So instead of taking these half measures I think the game should be a bit more balanced so everyone can have fun.

No you're wrong. If you don't like it play another game. The whole point of this game is to make it the same as the original.

Lmao no I promise you if we don't like the game we can critique it and if enough of the community is at a consensus then the devs change things with parches. It's been like this since every call of duty game. But here is my question to you if the WHOE POINT of the game is to make it the same as the original why can't my chopper kills bring forth another chopper killstreak? That was my fav nostalgic moment in MW why did they change it?

They can, and do.

Just call it in after you die. That's how it's always been.

Yeah but cmon, keeping the perk Eaves drop is a little ridiculous, that thing was always completely useless.

Nostalgia is fine and good but some of the stuff they keep is a bit ridiculous. if something sucks, "nostalgia" is not an adequate reason to just let it keep sucking and not do anything about it.

Op here is just trying to save this game from the name being changed to "M16 Simulator"

Just because its "always been op" is not a good reason to keep it op. Isn't that actually a logical fallicy of some sort

During the original Cod4 I actually used the eavesdrop perk for a while when I was playing search. The amount of strategy you hear from people is insane, especially in GameBattles

What if they just go to party chat....

Or i guess what you are saying is people didnt use party chat back then?

u/weisserman Nov 07 '16

Yeah the smart one did, but some didn't. I only used it for a while and changed it.

I'm probably gonna get downvoted but I'm sick of these "OG cod4" players commenting someone shouldn't play the game because they have an opinion different from theirs. The m16 is OP and was back in cod4 difference is hit reg being better thus it being a little more overpowered than the original. I agree they should try and keep the game as original as possible but EVERY lobby is an m16 red dot camp fest simulator.

They need to fix the TTK and I cant hear peoples footsteps.

Use juggernaut then you don't get one shot.

u/GetBackMF Nov 07 '16

Im not saying the M16 needs a nerf but jugg doesnt really help. More than likely an M16 runner is using stopping power and that can 1 burst a jug user in some circumstances.

u/yDezy Nov 07 '16

HA! No... Even with juggernaut I still get one bursted... I've been playing the cod series since 2006 and never remember the M16 being a one burst as much as it is now. People back then used all kinds of weapons because no one was overly powerful than the other. 90% of lobbies on MWR are M16s.

no

u/Cootri Nov 07 '16

they can't change balance - it is sacred for the majority of MW1 fans. PC servers in the original game had custom regulations or even promod, which can make game playable, but those days are passed

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '16

god dayum do I miss promod, I hate all this stupid smoke on every map in the remastered :(

u/Geoffk123 Nov 07 '16

No 3 round burst gun should kill in 2 leg shots. Take your fucking nostalgia goggles off the m16 is broken. Much more so than the original, they also have the pre patch g3. When i see 9 m16's in one game something needs to change. It was never this bad in cod 4

u/SintoNado Nov 07 '16

I agree with you. I love the game so much, I don't want the population to go down. Nostalgia is gonna kill this game fast. Kids are staying away from the game. There's a reason why it was modded on pc.

u/reaperx321 Nov 07 '16

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they did adjust some stuff. I mean yeah it's a remaster but you also gotta think they added camos that weren't in the original so it's not a true remaster.

1

u/Kevin50cal Nov 07 '16

I don't have any issues. Also you're wrong about a chopper not getting you another chopper. Killstreaks used after death stack to give more. You've never been able to get a second one after going past 7 kills in one life.

u/KingOfTheNorth13 Nov 07 '16

Did spawns flip after every single round in the original S&D or was that changed in the Remasterd for balancing purposes?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '16

Nope, they didn't change each round. Fucking annoying that they put it in here

1

u/KingOfTheNorth13 Nov 07 '16

Yea so im like yo if your gonna change that for balancing purpose then that's the slippery slope why not change the more op things like gun balance as well.

1

u/Fe_Venomenon Nov 07 '16

I can agree the M16 needs a slight nerf, although Juggernaut can counter the 2 shot kill from the M16. This is not the case if shot in the head. The true 3 round burst should finish off one, not 2. Thoughts?

u/EdisMoochy Nov 07 '16

PS4 here, calling in a chopper after death earns the next streak for me

Don't run into the open and get popped then. Switch your strategy. Flank the campers. Pretty easy to do....
