MW3 players admit OG MW2 maps have lost their nostalgia factor ActivisionMW2\u2019s OG maps have lost their nostalgia grip on the player base, with players sharing their growing dislike of MW3\u2019s map pool. Headed into MW3, much of the hype was centered on undoing design choices the rebooted Modern Warfare series created. The fact that players could experience a more arcade style of CoD on all 16 of the maps from 2009\u2019s MW2 was just the icing on the cake. Yet shortly after MW3\u2019s arrival, the maps faced immense criticism from all angles, as they haven\u2019t held up as much as many had hoped. For example, Rust was blasted for being a \u201cpiece of sh*t map,\u201d although the constant spawn issues probably factored into their hatred. As the months have passed, players have come to acknowledge the nostalgia tied to 2009\u2019s map pool has severely died down. \u201cAfter putting a considerable amount of time into the MP this year, I can definitively say that the nostalgia for the OG MW2 maps has worn off,\u201d MW3 player Ic3nfir3 shared to Reddit. Before sharing hype for Black Ops 6, they continued: \u201cOutside of a small few, I dislike the majority of the maps that I used to enjoy.\u201d As mentioned, spawn logic like Rust\u2019s noticeably soured the community\u2019s reception of these maps. Many comments reflected that, with \u201cabsurd spawn traps,\u201d one key complaint that has seemingly gone unaddressed. On the other hand, many were quick to acknowledge the flow of MW3 is different than it was compared to 2009. With Tac Sprinting and increased movement options, the tempo is incredibly fast, forcing players to use different playstyles. \u201cI think the movement really changed the flow of the maps. You\u2019re able to mantle into so many places that create shortcuts,\u201d one player said, while another added that 2009\u2019s formula doesn\u2019t match the \u201cmodern dumpster fire version of CoD.\u201d That said, Black Ops 6 is on the horizon, meaning fans will have a new map pool to experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
