The gaming community has mixed reactions to a recent change in the power of certain weapons. Some players appreciate the nerf, while others want them to remain powerful for specific situations.
However, these weapons can detract from the game’s realism and make it less enjoyable and balanced for those who do not rely on them. Despite the mixed reactions, it is important to continue to evaluate and adjust the gameplay experience to ensure that it remains fair and enjoyable for all players.
Wars can get messy and soldiers have to play dirty, among the few complaints players have are cheaters whereas, in a real war, there are no such things as aimbots or ways to detect where enemies are hiding. It may seem silly but the developers can’t cater to fans complaints and deliver an inaccurate depiction of warfare.
Throwing Knives Could Be Forgotten In Call of Duty: Warzone
Some players argue that knives are one of the few weapons that require both skill and precision, unlike the use of rifles where other players have the convenience of aim-assist on console controllers. It also adds a sense of realism by only one-shotting opponents if they are hit on the head, which will happen in real life.
Tensions are always high in a firefight in a Call of Duty match in any match, throwing knives are both life savers and killers, depending on which end players are standing from. Nerfing can be quite controversial when it comes to items of a competitive game like this, but developers took the courage to acknowledge it and remedy the situation accordingly.
