I didn't mind the slower movement/lack of slide canceling. For me the thing that I hated was the visual recoil and the perk system. Other than that it was fine. Infinity Ward is the better studio on the technical side of things, especially netcode and hit registration.

[@Nazrat84]

And the delays / lags between inputs. There's a delay when trying to mantle, jumping and landing delays or slows down all your movement options. A lot of deaths is simply trying to maneuver the map with the very systems and mechanics the maps are designed around, like ledges only accessible from platforming and climbing ladders.

I miss this game so much. I was the guy who liked using all these silly gun builds and I'd actually do pretty well here and there. It seems to me people were more interactive and the gun balancing actually made it so I could do well with stupid stuff. BO6 and MW3 just feel like you can't do anything without a meta weapon that kills instantly. I can't even enjoy the snipers anymore in BO6 (though I bet that is partly because I stopped playing). I miss actually having timings in SnD that made sense and being able to use smokes to flank. In BO6, people are behind your whole team in 7 seconds and moving all over the place.
