How Fast is the Time to Kill in Black Ops 6? | (Basic Early Analysis & Comparison) 

TTK breakdown from previews is crazy 😂

I don’t mind 150hp cold war/bo4 ttk. But that bo2/bo3 ttk is just muah, chefs kiss.

The only downside with slow ttk cods is that it tends to be the ones where snipers are the most OP and shotguns somehow become worse than literal melee weapons.

Slower ttk ends up 0ms ttk meta Vs Faster ttk and 200-250ms meta

i hope while movement goes up, ttk goes down, or its gonna be like a dance-off for every gunfight u ran into

Arguably the most important balancing factor for snipers is flinch. In Cold War, the snipers were the slowest and weakest they've ever been with fewer 1SK zones, and they were STILL broken. Why? Because they didn't have sniper level flinch.

As a SnD player, slower time to kill is so much worse because it becomes a sniperfest every match as I’ve learned the hard way with Cold War and MWIII. I find that to be very boring, and am rooting for ~230ms TTK for SMGs and 270ms TTK for ARs. Between MW2019 and Cold War would be a sweet spot for me personally.

8:55 "crossing a street" 2019 flashbacks huh 😂😂😂

Faster ttk makes balancing 1 shot kill weapons extremely easy. 150hp cods have terrible balance. 150hp also encourages people to use meta weapons more

I think there's a big misconception to begin with. 100hp is not "fast ttk". Its normal ttk, COD games always had 100hp 3/4 shots average to kill. 100hp with stopping power is "fast" ttk and the last game that had it was MW2 2009. So when people ask for 100hp they're not asking for "fast ttk", they're asking for the normal ttk in COD, which logically, is the most preferred and successful ttk in the franchise, while in the other hand, 150hp is just "slow" ttk which only benefits people who believe Call of Duty prioritized skill over casual gameplay.

Being able to shoot at doors to open them is a new mechanic I don't see being talked about nearly enough! Pretty sure they're being told to have doors from higher ups as I doubt Treyarch is actually fond of them, knowing their general map design philosophy, so I'm glad they at least found a way to make them way less tedious! No more being afraid of running through doors because there might be a claymore or camper behind it, that's such an underrated feature!

I hate having to say this but higher ttk cod games don’t work. Not because I’m bad (though tbf, I am) but because it takes the inherently overpowered one shot weapons and makes them even more powerful. It doesn’t increase the skill gap, it just encourages people to “beat it” by spamming snipers, marksman rifles, and shotguns resulting in a frustrating ttk for anyone who likes using ARs, SMGs, or LMGs. Unless snipers are actually balanced with no aim assist, massive flinch, and slow handling the multiplayer has a glass ceiling.

I'm reading a number of comments that all make the argument that the slower TTK allows for more frustrations with the snipers in the game. However I don't believe that the 150 health or the TTK is the issue, the problem is that the devs are not properly balancing the snipers for this weapon meta. It's entirely possible to make sniping more difficult, but the downside is alienating CoD snipers that enjoy the traditional CoD sniping experience. Shotguns and High caliber secondaries are also usually One shot Kill weapons, however in recent 150 health games, BOCW, MW3, they are generally regarded as underpowered due to their limited range or the level of precision required to land headshots. The argument that OSK weapons thrive in longer TTK environments is only unique to snipers. Here is a number of suggestions to limit Sniper effectiveness in a longer TTK CoD 1) Significantly longer ADS times, with a massive unpredictable bloom unless the gun is fully ADS 2) Snipers are unable to use any other scope other lower than an 8x optic 3) Snipers are subject to considerable flinch at a horizontal level to ensure they are not winning gunfights in a neutral setting 4) Snipers are limited to one shot kills when aiming for the head or neck (smaller target) 5) Snipers do more damage the farther the bullets travel, limiting their effectiveness in CQC 6) Snipers cannot equip a secondary limiting the versatility of positioning for the user 7) Snipers are limited to magazines of 4-5 shots, with a long reload time 8) (Controller Specific) Snipers have little to no Aim Assist Any one or a combination of nerf to snipers would make them less overbearing in a long TTK CoD, but the issue is that most people who like sniping enjoy the ease that they can do so in these games. And how much we can nerf snipers in CoD before it doesn't feel like CoD sniping anymore is a real concern. Internal statistics probably indicate that the people who like to snipe, tend to only snipe, and by making it more difficult, the developers would be alienating an entire portion of their playerbase when they know the majority will tolerate sniping so long as it isn't too OP.

I don’t mind a slow or fast ttk. My only problem is with a slow ttk 1 shot kill weapons aren’t balanced. Sniping is way too op in Mw3 and Cw and doesn’t feel satisfying to me.

I hope they take away Aim assist from sniper rifles like they did in BO4

2 Things First, Seeing teasers for this game makes me sad that I won't be playing it... CoD has just failed too hard, too many times in a row, that I just can't do it... Anything now is too little too late... Second, to contribute to the TTK discussion, I absolutely hate longer TTK... The reason is, the more AVG shots to kill it takes, the harder it is to make a wider variety of weapons viable. Meta setups form much more quickly, and you get punished much harder for not using them... If Treyarch is going to keep things like the damage, range, and body multiplier schemes simple, that's a good thing... If more bullets makes it more difficult to balance a meta, then likewise, fewer variables makes it easier, and likely more successful. Match after Match of virtually everyone tuna flopping around the map with an MP5 and an RPG (c. MW19 Core) isn't really a fun game.

Always preffered the faster TTK of the IW games. It felt more arcadey and realistic at the same time. The longer TTK always felt painfully slow to me.

I feel like the worry of fighting back against campers being harder with a shorter time to kill was heavily influenced by the lack of ninja/dead silence since 2019.

TTK should be adjusted based on the pace of title. For CODs with high mobility like MW3 it should be faster, for CODs with low mobility like MW2 if should be slower. Instead we get the opposite and it causes frustration. MW3 for example has such a high skill ceiling it feels very competitive and makes SBMM feel worse. MW2's is too low its frustrating. Choosing between high mobility and slow TTK is what we should be doing instead if having both at the same time. Thats why fast TTK sucks in MW2.

As a mouse and keyboard player, slow TTK is horrible when compared to fast TTK. Slow TTK amplifies the power of aim assist to the Nth degree and forces me to sweat every game just to keep up with aim assist players. Give me MWII TTK all day every day and twice on Sunday

Bruh, the COD community is so hard up for content. Dude is doing time to kill on a game that's not even released with NO DATA.

Look to reality for weapon balancing. Theres a reason swat teams aren’t quick scoping a 30lbs Barrett or why every soldier in the infantry isn’t handed a fully loaded machine gun. The answer is more realistic mobility penalties.

Give me a faster TTK any day. I'm tired of being automatically dead if I run into two or more enemies. I'm tired of getting a huge jump on someone, start spraying them down and still not get the kill cause they just ran away - they had all the time in the world. It can get incredibly frustrating.

Seems like everyone hates snipers in slower TTK games. It's definitely an issue that needs to be adressed. MWIII is a great example: Katt was the only consistent 1sk sniper at launch and it was really well balanced. 1sk snipers can't have a fast handling if TTK is slow, which is the situation we're in now. Flinch is never enough by itself to balance snipers, and I don't think we should rely on it to begin with. It's netcode dependent and inconsistent. It's 100% possible to have balanced snipers in a slow TTK game, BO4 would've been it without the high caliber attachments. Snipers need to be slow or weak, there's no way around it. I loved sniping back when it was rewarding and took skill (Bo3

I’m hoping for a longer TTK for the simple fact that corner campers and camping in general is more difficult. I prefer CoD when gunplay and movement abilities are accentuated through the players ability to react to getting shot. With a quick TTK I do like the point you made about balancing other guns with snipers and OHK weapons, but I would hope those would be balanced by the bullet velocity and other things that affect movement and the gunplay like ADS and ROF. The reason I love Cold War to this day is the balance of TTK and movement ability. (I ran Gung-Ho all the time)

As much as I always thought higher ttk was better I’ve been leaning more to a faster one just because of how much it ruins balance with snipers, shotguns, and marksman rifles/battle rifles/ semi autos. Shotguns are either straight shit or amazing, snipers are always stupid good, and the marksman rifles/battle rifles/semi autos category just gets fucked no matter what it seems.

I’m good with both fast or slow ttk, but I would like to see 3 different body zones(full torso,limbs,head).

My issue is that there really isn't much of a mechanical skill gap anymore with how powerful aim assist is in the game. Combine that with a slower TTK and that one-shot weapons would be the meta in those said games, it makes it so that that skill gap disappears especially if you're a KBM player. This is why the best CoDs have a faster TTK and why BO6 should have a faster TTK. In MWII, while I hate that game overall, the one thing I miss from it is the faster TTK compared to the one we have in MW3. Weapon balancing was much better in MWII because you can challenge one-shot weapons more so than this game. Not all the time, but more of the time

Sledgehammer in MWIII showed us clearly, that with poor balance, slow TTK is a no-go. We went from MWII with very fast ttk (relative to recent cods) made almost all weapons viable (even though there of course always was a "meta" and questinable balance decisions) to MWIII where we went to full rollercoaster starting with few weapons having significantly faster TTK (while not being even hard to control) than the others for not reason - making all other weapons outclasses, through useless shotguns, to several periods of blatantly OP one shot weapons all the way to even removing one shot from melee weapons from ranked, because of how slow TTK there is with available weapons compared to how fast the movement is. MWIII did some things right, weapon balance was not one of them and the slow TTK showed that clearly. And with terrible netcode/connection/server performance sometimes have it feel like you are getting 1-2shotted anyway, even now with really slow TTK, I will always prefer faster TTK. As long as it is still in reasonable range, faster TTK make balancing weapons easier, makes it feel more fair to play "weaker" nonmeta weapons. Makes it feel much less frustrating to play against one shot weapons, while at the same time one shot weapons can be tuned to be more consistent and therefor less frustrating to use and on top of that, it makes ttk feel much closer to time to die when the connection is poor (which happens a lot), limiting another source of frustration. So while I see a positives of slower TTK, and like several aspects of that as well (less corner camping etc), the negatives outweights that by a lot.

BO4 had the best ttk imo. I think BO6 mechanics would synergize well with BO4's ttk if weapons are balanced properly.

8:35 well that's your experience, I will tell you mine 150hp experience: -Sniper abuse -Meta weapons abuse -Sweatyness increase -Inconsistent gunfights -Multiple kills impossible unless you're lucky -Camping with 1 shot weapons -Claymores, Bouncing Bettys, IMS abuse So in reality, it seems like 150hp does nothing better than 100hp can do but it adds more problems than 100hp have...

My favourite part of a long TTK, especially in a game with extreme movement capability, is when you unload into an enemy and then a teammate gets in the last bullet and steals your kill. Love that. Long TTK is just so fun.

As someone who plays keyboard and mouse, I dislike slower ttk's because controllers generally have a noticeable advantage over kbm. It can be very frustrating for someone who doesn't have amazing aim. Hopefully only having 2 body multipliers will help mitigate that aspect.

They never balance one shot weapons well with higher ttk. Please revert back to MW19/MW2 ttk can’t deal with another year of BS OP snipers. Ranked is better with higher but fuk em

I hope to god it's just not as awful as MW3. I prefer it when people actually die when I shoot them, not the fucking sea of hitmarkers we have now. I personally preferred Mw20129 and MW2022. Super fast and snappy ttk made gameplay feel so much smoother

It’s definitely a toss up, but I’m personally more leaning to a slight faster TTK and I’d like to address some and add a few more pros/cons in addition to the ones Ace mentioned. 1. Balancing one-shot weapons is far easier for faster TTK than slower TTK. Just take a look at how insanely OP snipers were in CW, especially before they had flinch. 2. Team stacking (multiple enemies approaching at the same time) is less effective with a faster TTK because you don’t need to land as many shots to get the multikill. This one is huge for playing against parties who will essentially just travel as a group. 3. Positioning is slightly more important with a faster TTK, but this is honestly pretty close to equally important for both. Holding power positions and map control is always important. With a faster TTK, you can more easily pick off enemies from a particularly powerful position, but on the flip side you can also be taken out yourself easier compared to higher TTK where you can often react to getting shot and just crouch behind cover. 4. Movement is also equally important for both since forcing enemies to miss shots will often win you the gunfight regardless of TTK. This is why people can still do well with slower killing guns that have high mobility. 5. Sustained accuracy is definitely more rewarded for slower TTK compared to faster TTK, so there’s really no arguing there. But not needing to be as accurate with your shots allows for faster handling less accurate builds to be more viable because you don’t need to hit as many shots in a row. 6. Dealing with corner campers I feel is easier with a faster TTK. Often times, corner campers use shotguns because of their one shot capabilities which makes it significantly harder to kill them with a slower TTK when you need to put an extra bullet into them and they still only need one shot. Additionally, if you know where a corner camper is, you can often kill them before they even have a chance to react with a faster TTK. This is why even in a game like MW2019 I was able to easily deal with corner campers because I knew the common corner camping spots and could kill them before they had a chance to react. 6. Transitioning between cover is something that is easier to do with a slower TTK, so I can see how this would lead to the average player moving around more, but the optimal way to play CoD has always been camping behind your teammates or holding strong power positions to spawntrap and farm streaks to basically bulldoze the enemy team (this includes in obj modes where streaks often just auto spawntrap themselves as your team holds the obj). The best players in the lobby from my experience are almost always the ones who let their lower skilled teammates run for the obj as they pick off enemies trying to kill said teammates to farm for streaks to then freely capture the obj. 7. Hipfire builds are significantly worse with slower TTK because it’s far more likely for you to miss shots which lead to you having an even slower TTK. Compare this to a faster TTK where gunfights are generally faster and there are less opportunities for you to miss shots. If you say have a 90% chance of hitting each of your hipfire shots, this equates to a 73% chance to hit 3 shots in a row, 66% chance for 4 shots in a row, and 59% for 5 shots in a row. This is why I could easily make hipfire builds in MW2019, but in CW and MW2023, hipfire builds are largely unviable (outside of akimbo). 8. Stuns and flashes are also slightly less powerful with a faster TTK. If you get hit by a stun or flash without a dedicated counter perk, you’re basically screwed. Your only hope is that you somehow land shots in order to kill the enemy who throw the tactical. With more shots to kill, this is even more difficult. Now I understand that running the counter perk should always be the best option, but I personally am never a fan of just handing out free gunfight wins just because you selected stuns/flashes in your loadout. Any counterplay to them I feel is always helpful even if it is very minor. At the end of the day, it’s all really just personal preference and CoD even with it’s slower TTK is still significantly faster than other shooters on the market like Apex, so a faster or slower TTK really isn’t that different by CoD standards

I hope it’s around CW and BO4’s TTK

I will always prefer 100hp ttk over 150. I understand the frustration of not being able to react, and campers are a big problem. The problem is 100hp lets bad campers get away with cheesy tactics, and 150hp lets movement spammers or people with trained aim to be almost impossible to beat using other tactics (along with 1shot weapons). A game I can compare this to is my experience with Insurgency Sandstorm. Positioning matters along with gun skill, but where you might lack refined aim, you can make up for by playing smarter. MWIII, I dont feel smart for playing. It seems the best strategy is to spam movement and use a meta gun. In MW2019/Warzone 1, I felt I could use whatever I wanted because my positioning and aim were great, I had the freedom to have fun because I was good enough to use what I had efficiently. And on a biased point, I hate running extended, or I like what should be the "default" capacity I.E. ~30 for ARs/SMGs. Faster ttk lets you run standard mags with less consequences

Fast TTK is objectively better and slow TTK lovers get no maidens. Being serious though, Ghosts was perfect. Shoot first, win. Insanely perfect net code. That’s how it should be. Ghosts is the gold standard for TTK. If people want slow TTK they should play a battle royale, where it actually makes sense. Fast TTK means you can get multikills, rewards reaction time, rewards game sense and positional knowledge, rewards every type of weapon to use, is much less stop-start and generally is a more skillful environment. Slow TTK means everyone uses snipers to get a clear advantage and every gunfight is a frustrating boring game of peak-hide, peak-hide, as well as bad players being given the benefit of the doubt that they don’t deserve and meta weapons being way more obnoxious.

Much prefer faster ttk and I disagree that slower ttk means more movement. Faster ttk games encourages overall team/map rotation, less hard scoping etc because the goal is to get the drop on the enemy. Slower ttk like MW3 means most players will head glitch and hard scope to avoid movement abusing players beating them in a gun fight. Think WZ players camping to the very end to get cheesy kills. Edit to also say: I think slower ttk/prolonged gun fights really highlight the poor quality of MW3 servers and their net code, lag and packet loss issues. Faster ttk could mean a smoother overall playing experience.

Slow ttk is my personal fav, but snipers need to have flinch to balance the one shot kill.

My ideal CoD TTK would be somewhere between BO3-BO4, but higher HS multipliers. And no actual aim flinch (except for Snipers ala CW).

Hopefully MW19 or MW22 ttk. CW, MWIII, and especially BO4 ttk are ass

Im hoping its a fast TTK. We already had a slow TTK, definitely dont need another one with a slow ttk. I hate CoD games that have a slow ttk, because i also know that snipers and melee abusers thrive in those type of games.

How well a certain Ttk style plays really comes down to map design and movement mechanics

In terms of S&D, being able to take 3+ enemies by surprise (particularly in opening routes or flanks), is the only arguement needed for faster ttk. Counteracting spawn campers on a round to round basis has never been an issue for me in any of the past 12+ 100 health CoD games; playing the objective is the simplest answer, and arguably its even harder to stop them when you add riot shields to the equation.

Somebody please explain to me WHAT IS WRONG WITH AVERAGE TTK? (Im referring to TTKs like BO2, BO3, WWII or Infinite Warfare.) Those TTks were perfectly fine and nobody had a problem with it until for some reason BO4 came and made everything just sweatier with peashooters everywhere? Why people nowadays crave for painfully long ttks? Skill? Not only this is Call of Duty which was never founded on the thought of rewarding skill, but with 150hp games people just choose to abuse one shot kill weapons or the META because anything stronger is much better than anything less powerful. I seriously don't understand this need of 150hp. I don't

I much prefer faster ttk games which are centered around reaction times and crosshair placement/positioning. I think there's still plenty of gun skill involved (especially when you have lots of body multipliers to encourage aiming for the upper torso). One shot weapons are just near-impossible to balance in slow-ttk games. Look at MW3: all the snipers/shotguns are either disgustingly OP (like the kar98 was) or completely useless (like most of the shotguns).

I'm not generally someone who's picky about health or TTK, but for CoD specifically... Sorry, but the BO2/CoD4 (withiut SP/Jugg)/2019 damage model just works the best. Snipers aren't as broken in that sandbox as in the 150 health ones. Shotguns are allowed to be actually usable. And it makes the excessively twitchy style of Modern CoD less painful since theres just less dodging bullets. And based purely on the trailers, looks like the third 3arch game straight of LMGs and Burst/Semi auto rifles also completely breaking the game. Probably a pretty safe skip based on what I know.

Slow TTK kills games. People glaze 150hp because of "skill" and they forget we are talking about CALL OF DUTY.

I know that MW2019 got a lot of flak for map design but I think it's the only one that got the skill:luck ratio right in recent times along with the player speed. MW2 had similar times but you moved REALLY slow comparatively in that game. You could be more liberal with stats like hipfire esp on 3-hit kill weapons because if you could make your enemy miss just even one shot and get lucky on one shot, you could win fights you normally couldn't- and I think that having a balanced approach to skill and luck like that will do more for making seemingly balanced gameplay, esp when the actual balance of the game was all over the place.

Im not buying Black Ops 6 if it has 150hp, I'm literally sick of it. Ever since COD 4 COD was known for fast casual gameplay ttk, the only time that changed was with BO4 and this fixation on the "skill" 150hp apparently rewards feels so ironic with so many people being against SBMM. 150hp is nonsensical and makes games worse, im skipping if its not BO2/BO3 ttk.

They won't balance the snipers just like how in Cold War the Snipers are STILL the best guns in the game years after release.

MWIII would have been perfect with II's TTK. CoD is the game that never fails to disappoint

I think Infinity Ward should stick to futuristic era titles with low time to kill and Sledgehammer Games can make any era Call of Duty but they need the health set at 125 HP this would be the best way to test weapon balance. Treyarch can stick to high health with historical and modern era games since they were able to work health out in Cold War. Call of Duty WW2 felt like it was in between high and low time to kill so it made the multiplayer experience amazing when they fixed the game.

I hope 100hp so much more enjoyable and balanced

If BO6 has a slower ttk then snipers will hopefully be a one shot kill on headshots only

If snipers get a good amount of flinch the 1shot kill doesn't bother me at all

The TTK felt good in MW2, but they slowed the guns and movement down a ton. MW3 TTK feels slow, I would like to see a middle ground like the TTK in Infinite Warfare or BO3

Im just worried if the marksman rifles are going to be a one shot headshot or not. thats what put me away from Black Ops Cold War was the fact they couldnt one shot headshot. I am a headshot player, and having weapons that can one shot headshot mean the world to me in call of duty, and without that ability, its going to be a rough year.

Higher ttk i find has so many cheese guns, 1 shot while you dump a mag in them. Cold war was ridiculous for sniping and tec9

All this is useless because they changed the TTK for the trailers like they do allways. the nromal TTK is like Coldwar

I personally think the best balance is quick ttk up short, with a very stro g dropoff for smgs etc (think x defiant) and longer time to kills at range white higher flinch for snipers. This allows a good balance of not getting cooked ar range when going from place to place by like your average AR or smg and allows for some strong CQB combate and also allows to balance some su gama into low recoil long range weapons to fight off sniper etc at long range. Also give LMGS a better place if they can hold that mid to fast ttk at range better than most assult rifles.

Hope shotguns and pistols don’t suck agian

Shotguns were shown alllot. I feel like we might see a cold world style of shotgun in our future. Not TTk, but maybe ranges.

Treyarch won't change Jack... CW everyone said higher health means less camping, but to date that was the worst experience I've had for camping. Hell, I played 3 years of mw2019 as that had less camping than CW and vanguard was awful. Your chart shows that the so called 'golden era' cod games were all fast ttk... why did they ever change?? So Timmy no thumbs can have extra health whilst he camps with a 1 shot sniper

me who doesn't care about the ttk because im just going to play hardcore most of the time: mmm interesting

I was honesly laughing out loud hearing ace reading the rof, ttk and shots to the body from a cinematic trailer😂

Just make the total ads+fire time equal to an ar’s total ttk from the same position. E.g. an ar from sprint takes 300ms to kill based on combination ttk make the ads+shoot on a designated quick scoop rifle 300ms. Then it comes down to who can hit there shots. Also, put heavy ideal sway on all snipers starting at 400ms as well as heavy sway on strafing and shooting with them. It’ll keep players from camping a lane with a sniper and staying ads the entire time.

I prefer the slower ttk. I used to play hardcore and quick ttk is too similar. see first kill first. quick reflexes. done and dusted. but do you even tacticool bruh? can you maintain target acquisition? did you use cover? and yes I like different body multipliers. where you shoot somebody does matter

As an avid Hardcore gamemode gamer as long as they can have that at launch ill be golden.

Sticking to hardcore like most games. Personally, I liked the Vanguard ttk the most, which was the only game I stuck with standard. I did enjoy hopping into War mode with different classes for MW3 though.

I hope it's slightly faster than BO4's TTK.

Fast time to kill is best. Make guns great again. Slow time to kill is horrible. It’s the worst feeling shooting someone and they manage to run across and survive because the time to kill is too slow. Players shouldn’t be awarded to play like idiots and run around the map with no consequences. Like if you agree.

God i love the mw engine's scope distortion mimicing picture in picture scopes eithout the performance hit

Cod community hates LMGs, They literaly want only ARs and SMGs viable.

Snipers better have insane flinch 💯

Black ops 2 had the ideal ttk

The original MW3 and Ghosts were the only games to get it right. Every gun was consistent and viable with a 3 shot range up close, and no stopping power making it unbalanced. Every older game with stopping power had it too fast, and every other game aside from these two had it way too slow

I hope that the TTK is within the MW2019 - Cold War range for BO6. MW19 had amazing feeling weapons, and CW had an awesome TTK. Treyarch, please give us both.

I don’t like fast ttk because of the netcode. It’s like whoever has the lower ping wins.

Long TTK doesn’t play well when paired with fast movement IMO, it makes the game more about parkouring to survive than actually winning gunfights. If this game has Omnimovement and a long TTK then I’m afraid it’ll play even cheesier than launch XDefiant…

IMO the ttk feels like crap in Cold War. Mw3 is ok, with its slightly faster ttk and wayy better engine

😂😂 Ace explaining all the disclaimers 😂😂 did we need this video ahahaha

Consistency is more valuable. If you can count your shots and know what you can get each time, much less frustrating. Perhaps values aim a little less, but in an arcadey game like this, fun and feel are more important than minor realism. Personally, I don't like the super fast, melty ttk IW gloms onto, nor do I like the spongey ttk Treyarch brought. Black Ops 2 and WWII had a good middle ground without being fast, nor slow. Right between the two ends. This is one of the factors that makes me enjoy both of those games the most.

Almost 500 views in 7 min, not bad Ace

Alot of people missing the mark with snipers. Imo the only answer to snipers is fast movement. I had littlerally zero problem with snipers in mw2019 simply because glint was easily noticeable and I could go prone or slide cancel to avoid shots. Ever since they slowed down the gameplay snipers became an issue since it becam easier to track players movement without them being able to slide cancel or quickly croutch/prone. Movement is the most important factor when dealing with a long range 1 shot weapon

There are two ways to get a more balanced time to kill if they are going to keep things simple without damage multipliers then they need to make the health at 125 this would put the time to kill in between high and low kill times. The other way they could balance out the time to kill is if they are going to use damage multipliers they need to make the health 150 to 200 and then reward upper torso, neck and head shots with the most amount of damage like 1.5 to 2.0 kind of damage. Then make center mass and below and all the limbs have the lowest damage multipliers. Center mass should still be slightly rewarding so instead of the standard 1.0 put the damage multiplier at 1.1 or 1.2 that way accuracy rewards players with low kill times. Let's say you got a standard M16 on low kill times it's a one burst kill and on high kill times it is a two to three burst kill but if you use high health with damage multipliers it would look way different. Like if they hit all three shots to the upper torso it is a one burst kill and to center mass it is 1 and half burst kill while limbs and waist shots are 2 to 3 burst kills. That is how high health should work but Treyarch and Sledgehammer Games didn't do that which made one shot kill weapons way stronger. I think instead of only marksman rifles and sniper rifles being rewarded for accuracy that all weapons should be rewarded for accuracy this would make one kill weapons way weaker if they weren't the only one rewarded for accuracy.

Hate all u want but MW 2 has the best TKK. GOOD movement with fast tkk is >>>>>

I prefer a slower TTK, but I feel like for balancing, the sniper hip fire accuracy should be substantially nerfed, flinch should be increased (or fixed, because against controller players it really feels like the aim assist negates some of the flinch), and that snipers should have an ever increasing aiming idle sway starting from when you hardscope for an significantly long time (like 8 seconds in idk). It’s just brainstorming but maybe this could help with balancing snipers.

Its needs to be 125HP TTK. Thats the sweet spot !

If it's anything like Cold War's TTK I'm all for it, however snipers with one shot capabilities from the torso is crazy. Guess I'll have to wait until the beta to see if that's still true as some of the Cold War snipers are disgustingly broken.

I'm ok with the ttk being long but if so I would personally love the option to have health bars for enemies but it should be able to be turned off and on because I know some people get annoyed with them.

Will you make Delta Force: Hawk Ops content? I'd love your analysis of the games, and DFHO has greatly detailed stuff.

I liked the TTK in MWII (2022). I thought that was the sweet spot.

As someone who loves doing melee builds I'm excited to see how they handle melee this time around (or at least a CoD that excites me enough to play it).

It doesn't matter which one it is, it just needs to be balanced. Low TTK, then movement needs to be faster and AA needs to be weaker. Higher TTK, then the opposite can be true.

I wish they would go back to the bo1 ttk for their games. Slow ttk is so frustrating. COD was at its peak when the ttk was fast like cod 4 - ghosts.

I love the MWIII TTK. Honestly, in my mind its the perfect balance of higher TTK compared to the way too insane BO4 or inconsistent Cold War. All I have to say is that if Snipers are as OP with no flinch like they were in Cold War the MP will be chalked.

The only way this will work for me is if the maps are small to mid side cuz mw3 with its nostalgic maps sounded fun until it wasn't because of how big they scaled to the new version of cod and it led to sometimes not getting your kill and running out of ammo fast. Once they introduced small to mid size maps i started having fun and learning how to make the games movement to my advantage but again these high paced movements with slow ttk only work on small to mid size maps, larger maps are campy and boring which lead to running out of ammo fast
