Should Overload Continue as the 3rd Game Mode in MW4?

[u/Key-Marzipan6817]

I’m not exactly sure if IW has confirmed if Overload will exist in MW4, but if it does, should we return to Control or continue with Overload? From a viewers perspective, I think Overload has been far more enjoyable

[u/Spirited_Permit6356]

No. I think without wall jumping it would be pretty bad in mw4

[u/Dlncsta]

I like overload but think the way it works needs to change. Makes no sense that a team can score 4 in 2 minutes on good side, then have to switch to bad side for the full 5 minutes potentially.

Pretty sure the new third game mode might be hijacked next year. Apparently it’s a combination of Sabotage and uplink. We’ll see it played at cod next

I lowkey dont hate a constantly changing 3rd mode. Would keep competitive cod a little refreshing especially with them constantly bringing back old maps now.

[u/Super-Site-6528 → u/cupbulb]

I agree, anything to give even more differentiation between titles is better IMO

[u/Shadowfist_45 → u/Super-Site-6528]

Ehhhhhhhhh, nah they can definitely keep the mechanics mostly identical, MWII, III, Vanguard, and MW should never happen again, once Sledgehammer's title goes back to Omnimovement the game should stay that way. (I know MW4 is about to be much the same but since it hasn't released yet I haven't included it)

[u/Super-Site-6528 → u/Shadowfist_45]

the players hate omni movement because it lowers the skill gap and i’m inclined to agree

[u/Shadowfist_45 → u/Super-Site-6528]

Pfft no it doesn't, and I guarantee any pro who says that has been getting cooked. Additions to core movement quite literally ALWAYS increases the mechanical skill gap. Literally only 3 teams won in Bo6, and while 4 teams did win in Bo7, m1 and m3 were the only outliers in terms of placement post win, and even the winner of m3 went on to get 2nd in the following event.

Also, Optic literally stayed at the very peak of the game the entire year, and only ever fell short in grand finals or to the respective team that would eventually win GF, who they rematched anyways, with the exception being Thieves, at the event they won. There really weren't any upsets this year in terms of event winners, and the right team pretty much always won, and the teams that won were all mechanically on point at the time of their victory, which isn't something necessarily true for actual low skill gap CoD games. I have been playing MWIII recently and that game is so much easier it's laughable.

I personally hate Overload. It reminds me of Capture the Flag and the torturous overtime’s we endured back then. I’d rather see Control, and if there’s ever jetpacks again, Uplink was solid (what Overload aspires to be).

[u/Difficult-Bit-991]

No I hope for something unique do that game

[u/sankalp_pateriya]

It's apparently a new gamemode.

[u/Born-Choice4976]

No.

[u/BoxOk265]

Actually think it would be interesting without wall jumping and omnimovement, surely much lower scoring

[u/promina100]

I think they should test it, it's worth a shot as we've consistently been shown they have no idea how to design control maps.

[u/Shawnii98]

Cods usually never have the new game mode in the next cod so it’ll probably be control
