You’re fine, the CoD UI is indeed an inscrutable mess designed to maximize “engagement.” Same for other live service type games. I think they want the same entrancing effect as stepping into a casino.


Exactly!

Fortnite UI changes constantly and is horrible to use.

Factorio has a great UI.


Glad I’m not the only one. I could barely figure out how to start the campaign.

Aside from the atrocious menu structure, they also throw all this lingo at you with zero explanation like you’re already supposed to know how everything works. Challenges? Plunder? DMZ? Season pass? I don’t even know what a “season” is! Let me play the damn game!


I gave up on the game when the person next to me exploded into confetti… Is it really too much to ask for an Unreal Tournament reboot?


My favorite multiplayer game was Golden Eye 007 on N64. There was a couple of maps (The garden and the village I think) that has an unbeatable position where you just sit there and receive ammunition while having perfect view of everything. But due to being it local, you could ban camping.
