Ground War came at a perfect time in 2019. Infinity Ward venturing into large-scale combat appealed to traditional CoD players wanting a change of pace and drew in a disgruntled Battlefield V community. The game mode pitted two teams of 32 players against each other, with the goal of capturing flag objectives. Modern Warfare 2019 featured a whopping nine Ground War maps by the end of the game\u2019s lifespan, and the mode had a passionate following. Modern Warfare 2 built off the mode\u2019s strong foundation, launching with five Ground War maps, and added a new swimming mechanic and more vehicles. 2022 lined up for Activision to once again swoop in and strike gold. Battlefield 2042 fans jumped ship after a rocky launch, and the game mode had a pre-established fan base, but MW2 players explained why Ground War is now in an \u201cawful state.\u201d Players blast Modern Warfare 2 Ground War A Reddit user made a list of complaints about Modern Warfare 2\u2019s Ground War. Some of the main reasons include lack of cover, wasted space, overpowered vehicles and snipers, and unnecessarily large buildings. The player offered a solution by proposing to the developers, \u201ccut excess space around maps, streamline the flags, remove transport heli until a team has only 0 or 1 flag, block off majority of buildings and roofs.\u201d One user responded, \u201cModern Warfare 2019 ground war was so much better, and it\u2019s disappointing that we got this. I really hope they make some changes in the future.\u201d A second player added, \u201cMW2 ground war just feels like a different mode because it has so many frustrations and very few rewarding fights to take part in.\u201d Community members in the thread agreed two significant issues are the transport helicopter and map design. \u201cIn my opinion removing the helicopters would be the biggest help to the mode and would also make capturing points mean something since you could spawn there.\u201d Ground War was a highlight of Modern Warfare 2019\u2019s success, and community members demand more from the MW2 developers to reach those same heights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MW2 players slam developers over \u201cawful\u201d state of Ground War ActivisionModern Warfare 2019\u2019s Ground War provided a breath of fresh air for the CoD franchise, but players believe the game mode is an awful state in Modern Warfare 2.
