Played a bit of the CoD beta today, first CoD I have played since MW reboot in 2019. The omni-movement stuff is pretty great, being able to sprint, slide, and dive in all directions, gives you a bit more of a chance of survival if the enemy lands the first shot because you can dive back around a corner and potentially survive. Being able to aim in all directions while prone is even better, something CoD should have had years ago.
Graphics are kind of meh though, they really needed to drop last gen and improve the engine. They better finally drop last gen for the CoD Black Ops 2 direct sequel next year. Gonna be stupid as hell if CoD 2025 releases on consoles from 2013, 12 years old. The other big issue I have is one CoD has had for awhile now and none of the 3 CoD devs seem to want to fix, a total lacking of any semblance to realism. Why in the world was I just killed by an android man with an electric gun in a game set in 1991? I get CoD isn't Arma or Battlefield and was never intended to be hyper realistic, but back in the old days CoD was never like this, multiplayer characters looked and dressed like human soldiers, guns looked like actual guns.
