Warzone player\u2019s epic rant perfectly sums up why so many hate Gas Masks Infinity WardA Call of Duty: Warzone fan has decided to wear his heart on his sleeve and express just how frustrating the game\u2019s Gas Mask animation is, with a full video documenting the pain it has caused him. [jwplayer br5AuoVJ] As good as Warzone\u2019s been since its release back in March, there\u2019s been plenty for players to complain about, whether it be the seemingly unstoppable infestation of hackers to the awful \u201cdemon\u201d gun glitch that inexplicably took over for several weeks. One such topic is the Gas Mask, the item\u2019s animation to be more specific; fans have never shied away from letting Infinity Ward and Activision know how much they despise the visual process of equipping and taking off a Gas Mask, which oftentimes can impact the result of a gunfight. But out of all the complaints about it, Reddit\u2019s \u2018jakericca\u2018 probably has the best one so far \u2013 going on a powerful and epic rant about how poor the whole concept of the mechanic is. The player has made a name for himself on the website\u2019s Warzone subreddit by sharing a multitude of videos exploring the nuances of Verdansk. In his latest clip, he describes how the dreaded Gas Mask animation has plagued his, and others\u2019, psyche for six seasons: \u201cWe\u2019ve all been through it. We\u2019ve all been hurt. You hear me, Activision? It hurts all of us. This needs to stop.\u201d After relenting and allowing himself to be vulnerable, jakericca dives into the issue with the gameplay to prove it. As he\u2019s down to the final circle, wiped one squad, and killed another surprise enemy, he\u2019s suddenly faced with an unsuspecting foe. But, instead of being able to gun down this player from behind, the mask\u2019s animation kicks in as the gas approaches, giving the enemy enough time to turn around and erase him from the game. \u201cF**king Gas Masks \u2026 F**king bulls**t,\u201d \u2013 it\u2019s a painful story but one that the CoD community isn\u2019t unfamiliar with. And jakericca brings up two good points in response to the automated animation. For one, numerous Operators are wearing large masks, so why can\u2019t the Gas Mask be worn indefinitely throughout the game as well? And, echoing a more popular solution, couldn\u2019t Infinity Ward simply implement a toggle option for the mask? If that was the case, then players could decide when or not they\u2019d like to put it on, or even if they\u2019d like to keep it automated. This would work akin to the Tac Sprint options and would allow players to feel more in control of their own destinies. Alas, there\u2019s no indication when, or even if, the developers would be interested in reworking the whole Gas Mask mechanic. Until then, looks like jakericca and everyone else have to do the best they can to manage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
