Just like the song “Video Killed the Radio Star,” we’re watching history repeat itself in Call of Duty.
skillful movement killed the omnimovement stars…
It’s genuinely heartbreaking watching MW4 bring back movement that actually requires practice and mechanical skill. Omnimovement was perfect because it allowed people like me to feel like absolute movement demons without having to put in any actual work. I could slide around, dive in every direction, break cameras, and convince myself I was mechanically gifted without ever having to master anything.
Now you’re telling me I have to PRACTICE to move like a good player? Why? I have absolutely no interest in developing mechanical skill. I just want to press a couple buttons, fly around the map like prime Shotzzy, and feel superior to everyone else. ITS A VIDEO GAME FOR CHRIST SAKE NOT A SPORT.
I don’t want a skill gap. I want the ILLUSION of a skill gap where I’m always on the winning side. And even if I lose a gunfight I want my opponent to look cracked to make me feel good.
Not everyone wants to dedicate hours to getting good. Some of us just want the game to make us feel like we’re good, and I don’t see why that’s such an unreasonable request. some of us also have lives…
RIP Omnimovement. You made me feel like a movement demon when I had absolutely no business being one. 💔 back to going from iri to plat this year
