Scump explains how IW can make Modern Warfare \u201cinfinitely better\u201d Legendary pro Call of Duty player Seth \u2018Scump\u2018 Abner has listed some of the changes that developers Infinity Ward can make to Modern Warfare in order to drastically improve the game, at least in his view. Unlike most other pro Call of Duty players, Scump doesn\u2019t limit his CoD intake to just practices and competitive matches. Over the years, he\u2019s proven to be a big fan of playing public and casual matches, and has built a massive YouTube following on the back of his many popular \u2018pub-stomping\u2019 videos. This is why many players, competitive and casual alike, listen every year when he speaks about what changes the new CoD game needs in order to be better. By now it\u2019s not much of a secret that the 2017 World Champion isn\u2019t the biggest fan of Modern Warfare, and has criticized several aspects of the game\u2019s multiplayer, especially pertaining to casual games. He was asked about that during his visit to Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez, CEO of the Chicago Huntsmen CDL franchise that Scump currently plays for, and he noted some of the things that Infinity Ward could do to make the game better. \u201cI don\u2019t not like it, but there are a lot of glaring issues that, if fixed, could make it infinitely better,\u201d he explained. \u201cFix the footsteps indefinitely, they need to nerf the shotgun, first of all. The maps aren\u2019t that great; they\u2019ve added a couple of more maps. Shoot House is pretty fun! They need to keep adding Ground War maps.\u201d (Discussion begins at 10:23 mark.) It comes as no shock that everything Scump listed has, in fact, been what a majority of the player-base has also been complaining about. Despite numerous changes implemented across several updates, footsteps continue to be in a less-than-ideal state. The shotgun he referred to is the 725, which many agree continues to be the most overpowered gun in the game. In fact, what frustrates players most about the weapon is the fact Infinity Ward have \u201cnerfed\u201d it several times, and yet some are arguing it\u2019s even more powerful than before. As for the maps, they\u2019ve been heavily criticized by competitive and casual players alike. Scump\u2019s former teammate and current Seattle Surge player Damon \u2018Karma\u2019 Barlow even suggested they were among the worst ever in CoD history. The addition of Shoot House has been a positive one, as Scump hints at in the video, so if the developers can keep pumping quality new maps into the game, it could help slow down the backlash they\u2019re receiving over the day-one set of maps. The biggest thing that Infinity Ward have on their side is the fact that there is no Season Pass and purchasable DLC anymore, which means all post-launch DLC content will be free in Modern Warfare. That then allows them to get all of the new content to everyone on every platform at the same time, and that could be key to turning a lot of players\u2019 opinions on the game around, including Scump\u2019s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
