As we all know, Call of Duty, at times, can be riddled with players who like to ruin your experience. For example, how many times have you been killed by a player sitting in a corner or a player with a riot shield and c4. Myself, I do not enjoy these kinds of people due to the lack of fun it gives me in game. This discussion should not be about removing these altogether, though. The reason for this being that removing something means that people will work around this to continue whatever they were doing. However, a more viable method would be to discourage such actions in-game. The following lists the worst of the behavior and my ideas on how to fix such behavior. Feedback on my ideas would be much appreciated.
Camping
Ahh, camping. Where would we be in Call of Duty without the good old-fashioned camper. If you are like me, you die way too often from campers. They are just not fun to play with. Albeit, if they are sniping, I actually applaud them because that's what snipers are meant to do. Anyway, campers have long been a problem and a good discouragement method to camp would be to lower their scoring. This may seem a little drastic at first sight but it could potentially work really well. For example, a player has not moved from this 5 meter area in the last minute or so. They could then only get half the score for the kills. The enemies of the camper may then also get bonus points for killing said camper. A system such as this would really discourage camping.
Riot Shield & C4
This is one of the two less important ideas I have added to this post. The riot shield, in my opinion, is really overpowered and too many people use it in one-life game modes like search and rescue. The c4 addition to this is very frustrating to a gamer like myself. Now, I know that this has already been nerfed but it is still a big problem. My proposal is this: Make reflex redundant to riot shields so that the user of the riot shield has to completely come out from behind the riot shield in order to throw c4. As i said in the camper section, these ideas may be a bit over-the-top but it is really annoying for my friends and I.
Quickscoping
Now, this one is debatable. Lots of people enjoy quickscoping and they would hate on me for trying to make otherwise, but, nevertheless, it is annoying. Just the idea of a sniper rifle beating an smg in a close range gunfight makes a lot of gamers really upset. As for me, I think that a sniper should be in a window high up somewhere, not running around more than the smg and ar players. That is why I propose a similar method to this idea as with the riot shield. Make quickdraw redundant to snipers. This would reduce the users of such tactics and greatly increase the fun of the game to others.
Panic Knives
Finally, apart from campers, this is my most unliked part of Call of Duty. The times I get panic knifed before i even get a shot out really annoys me. Another pretty drastic method, I know, but very effective is making knifing redundant. Now hear me out on this one and don't hate one me for this reference, but, make it like Battlefield. I know you probably hate me telling you that a part of Battlefield is better but, honestly, I live their knifing system. For anyone who doesn't know Battlefield knifes from the front only reduce you health to 50% and knifes from the back are an instant death. This would improve the game dramatically and I know a lot of people who would agree.
I apologize for making this a long explanation but appreciate anyone who did read it all. Some feedback for my ideas would be greatly appreciated.
