    They’re a very pure and straightforward shooter experience with a lot of polish. I don’t think it’s that weird.

    The level of monetization is totally unhinged at this point, but there’s a good game buried underneath it all.

      If you want w straightforward shooter you go play cs 1.6…

      Cod is the single furthest thing from a straight forward shooter. There’s fucking a billion random ass shit mechanics all stacked on top of the actual shooter.

      A straightforward shooter has guns, the ability to run and jump and a map.

      That’s it. The moment you start adding abilities and magic techno bullshit it ain’t a straightforward shooter.

        See, CS is too far for me. Every weapon being a nearly instakill and no respawns just isn’t fun for me. I’ll give it to you that it’s even simpler though.
