No one else playing the beta?
There's some seriously old school control settings in this. Turn left and right? Toggle strafe? Freelook? I don't think I've seen those options for about 15 years.
The game is generic as hell though. I really wanted to try this, which was exciting seeing as I've never even touched the previous 8 years worth of CoD games. There is literally nothing to set it apart. I would have said the setting, but when there's zero representation of it being Axis vs Allies except the accent of the announcer what's the point? strawberry floating silencers and holo-sights on WWII era weaponry. Axis can spawn with the M1 Garand for Pete's sake.
Still the same old 'modern-AAA-fps' gameplay. Almost unchanged at its core from the original CoD, except any semblance of quality has been totally lost. I used to love playing Search and Destroy, how slow and tense it could be, but that seems to have been removed (at least from the beta). All the modes were instant respawn, sprint everywhere killfests. The killstreak bonuses further removing any sense of balance.
I didn't mean for this to turn into a list of complaints. I just want more cool WWII games, and less of these generic modern shooters.
