Simp argues Modern Warfare 2 will be a \u201cgood year\u201d with some key changes YouTube: FaZe Simp \/ ActivisionTwo-time world champion Chris \u2018Simp\u2019 Lehr believes Modern Warfare 2 could bring about a \u201cgood year\u201d for the Call of Duty League if Infinity Ward pays attention to a few key areas of feedback. With the Modern Warfare 2 Beta now in focus, popular streamers and professional players alike are all getting their hands on the next entry in the CoD series. While some have been quick to voice their concerns over certain features, others have heaped praise on new changes with Infinity Ward\u2019s latest game. While we\u2019re still a few months out from not only the game\u2019s full release, but also the start of the 2023 CDL season, pros are already chiming in on how they envision the year ahead. Among them is two-time world champ and Atlanta FaZe star Simp. For his money, the Beta has been a \u201cfun time overall,\u201d but there\u2019s still a \u201cdecent amount of work\u201d to be done in certain areas to improve the competitive experience before launch. Jumping through everything from map design to movement systems, Simp was mostly positive after playing the first weekend of the Beta. In particular, he claimed the new Gunsmith \u201cfeels more balanced\u201d compared to last year\u2019s in Vanguard where guns had 10 attachments. With only half that allowed in Modern Warfare 2, not every weapon can be a laser. When it comes to the removal of silde canceling, a controversial move that quickly saw new workarounds discovered in just hours, Simp was a fan of how the new game played without them. \u201cI like that slide canceling wasn\u2019t a thing,\u201d he continued. \u201cThe more cameras you break, the less competitive it is. You slide around a corner and kill someone before they even see you. That\u2019s not competitive, that\u2019s not fair. It should always be as even as possible.\u201d Perhaps his biggest gripe with the early test build had to do with moment to moment gunfights. For starters, \u201cheadglitches are gonna be super important\u201d in the upcoming CDL season if the flow of gameplay stays intact. Moreover, with current visuals, gunfights became increasingly more difficult with each round fired, according to Simp. \u201cYou would lose the person in the gunfight 80% of the time. I feel like I\u2019d hit someone, get them one shot, then I couldn\u2019t see them anymore.\u201d That particular complaint is something Infinity Ward is already looking to address in the second week of the Beta. \u201cWe agree this is an issue,\u201d devs outlined in a September 20 blog post. \u201cWe have changes incoming to reduce muzzle smoke opacity and to increase the visibility of the muzzle flash to help engage someone who is firing at you.\u201d As a final note, Simp was unsure why aerial respawn cams were back in the game after the controversy they caused in Modern Warfare 2019. Originally, this brief flyover the map back down to your Operator could provide a split second of intel you otherwise wouldn\u2019t be knowledgeable of. Now it\u2019s back in Modern Warfare 2, so Simp is \u201choping\u201d there\u2019s a setting to help \u201ctake it out of competitive\u201d down the line. Ultimately though, without any major criticism, just a few smaller points of contention, the FaZe star is optimistic for the season ahead: \u201cI think we\u2019re gonna be in for a good year of competitive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
