Might be a hot take, but I think this is a great decision overall for both casual and comp WZ. I loved the grappling hook from Blackout, but I don't think they properly implemented this new one
REDSEC Solos is the best PURE battle royale experience since 2020 Warzone.
No UAV spam, no countless redeploys, no grapple or ability spam, just pure gamesense and gunplay with cinematic destruction and a giant ring of fire 🔥
I've been largely uninspired by COD / Warzone for a while, but @InfinityWard's Modern Warfare 4 has my attention if:
- DMZ / WZ / MP separated from the start
- Gritty & punchy gunplay WITHOUT obscene visual noise, clutter, or shake.
- Fluid & snappy movement, but not meth head omnimovement wall jumps. Make transitions, mantles, etc snappy again.
- Get rid of all the absurd weapon sway, bounce, dip when you jump, drop, b-hop. MW19 jumps were so crisp and fun.
- GAMEPLAY CAN BE GROUNDED WITHOUT FEELING SLUGGISH & SLOPPY
- Make MnK playable again (reduce visual noise, stop deviating crosshair from center screen, better iron sights, etc).
- "Mil-Sim Toggle" where all enemies are rendered as military operators, not whatever cartoon MTX they purchased.
- Make Ricochet much more aggressive/demanding, but get rid of shadowbans. It doesn't work and too many innocent players are caught up in spam reports.
- Add "audio tunes" to Ricochet. I realize they've been explicitly allowed for some time now, and props to those guys for making them so effective, but they need to go. It's just another "hacker hunter" talking point and an unfair advantage that tarnishes the game.
- Get rid of partial fall damage in Warzone / DMZ 😡 Having my health regen fully reset from taking 1 damage from a 5 foot drop is the dumbest addition ever. Makes sense for MP, not here.
- Stop neglecting Big Map Battle Royale AND STOP REMOVING SOLOS PLAYLIST.
- Please for the love of COD no Tac-Sprint.

The list is likely miles longer, but this is off the top of my head. What do you think? What else do you want to see changed?
