It\u2019s been 16 years since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare exploded onto the gaming scene, setting the standard for FPS gaming for years to come. We\u2019ve seen many games try to copy CoD\u2018s formula, but few have lasted as long as the FPS juggernaut. Since 2007, it\u2019s safe to say multiplayer gaming has shifted a bit, as movement mechanics have evolved and gameplay formulas have changed to cater to faster playstyles. The recent Modern Warfare series has been a perfect example of that sentiment, as Infinity Ward\u2019s design philosophy focused on a slower, more punishing pace of play. MW3\u2018s arrival has flipped the script on that slower play style, leaving some fans upset and begging for a return to the days of old. CoD players rip movement clips and want a return to \u201ccamping\u201d The crux of this argument originated from Twitter\/X user AgentOThom, as they said: \u201cAbsolutely despise multiplayer games now me. Can\u2019t be arsed with how fast paced everything is now. What happened to camping,\u201d in a quoted response to a player clip. In the clip, the player soared through Terminal with ease, as they melted foes with the Rival-9 and racked up an impressive killstreak. Usually, this type of response would garner a lot of traction for the opposite reason. Typically, players would flock to the replies and rip apart whoever shared this opinion. However, the replies were actually civil, as fellow CoD players shared their thoughts on what gaming has become. \u201cSitting in a window with both entrances claymored up. Good times,\u201d one user replied. Another replied. \u201cJust don\u2019t understand how this can possibly be fun like. Feels like I\u2019ve caught epilepsy just watching it.\u201d Just don\u2019t understand how this can possibly be fun like.

The art of spending 90% of a game watching a door is dead.\u201d Unfortunately for these players, CoD and many other titles will continue to shy away from the days of old, as the next generation of gamers look for faster games to hold them over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Old-school CoD players want camping back ActivisionMW3\u2019s movement clips have enraged many of the game\u2019s passive players, as many are clamoring for the return of the camping days.
