This year's live event was absolutely amazing, and the update turned out nearly perfect. However I feel like the vibe of the map is now partially lost.

The new terrain is... nice. It feels very OG, and even though I didn't play at all during the era it is from, I sorta feel the charm. But am I the only one who finds the fact it's now EVERYWHERE fairly annoying? These classic mountains (the ones in pic 3) used to take up a large portion of the map even before the event. But we had locations like the volcano mountain (smoother terrain) and the Crater Desert (added in 2022).
Now we only have:

- 90% of land: classic 2019 terrain
- 10% of land: desert and beach (same texture of sand lol)
- w a t e r

it's nostalgic, but imho it's starting to feel more boring - and the pale lighting just makes it worse - so what do you think guys?

The photos are taken from DatBrian's (s12, 13, 14) and ItsP1X3L's (16) videos

lowkey:

- skyboxes: amazing
- colour grading & textures in terrain (grass, snow etc.): amazing (very colorful which i like)
- vibes: amazing

Basically my idea is Badimo should do something similar in their future seasons. The upcoming summer season would go great with the S16 vibes, and S12, 13, 14 should be the standard for quality for autumn, winter and spring - respectively - seasons.

To whoever might say that 2020 lighting was way better - yeah, perhaps. But I wouldn't bring that one back. The general vibes and atmosphere of s12-16 would fit the modern map way more, imho.

If you have anything to add / suggest - please write in the comments!

edit: phew i didn't get totally flamed, let's gooo

THA NUMBAAAAAARS MASOOON

Alr so this game was actually peak, the story was way deeper and harder than the old MW trilogy that I've played before. I recently found out that WaW is actually connected to Black Ops since Reznov is also there. I'm really looking forward to continue the BO story, which honestly makes perfect sense and is easily understandable right now even without playing the previous part.

So my question is, does World at War really add anything crucial to the story? Should I play it now to get the full picture or can I just move on to the sequels? (I wouldn't mind playing WaW too later on, therefore if it isn't lore-wise important right now, I might play the next parts and play it like a "prequel" sometime later)

I found a tutorial on how to build a benchiest benchy benchlike benched bench but I encountered an issue. See, if I make it so only the "neck" of the armor stands for the legs is out of the ground, the trapdoors kinda float in the air. But if I make it so the trapdoors are perfectly on the tops of the stands, the "body" parts of the stands come out of the ground. Does anyone have any idea on how to improve this?
