The pathetically short draw distance means that you can't see enemies or even scenery a lot of the time. The control scheme is idiotic, unintuitive, and not customizable.
They (EA) keep telling me that I should get this instead of MW3. So, I tried it. But instead of a kill-cam explaining what went wrong in your strategy, so that you can improve, they just zoom in obnoxiously close on the face of the person that killed you. Throwing grenades is like throwing dice. The worst part is that the fuzzy visuals on their wonderful new engine make both spotting the enemy and aiming accurately a matter of luck. Which, in a shooter, is a pretty big problem.
The only things which are of any value are instantly negated by everything else being awful. You can jump over cover like you are actually in a hurry, instead of whatever nonsense COD is going for. But it doesn't matter, because getting out of the way of enemy fire in this game is a fool's errand. You can alter your class in a match. But class creation is stiff and ultimately a joke.
At the end of the day, it's a shooter where you can't see or aim. I don't care what else you come up with if your shooter doesn't work as a shooter. As someone who plays every major shooter that comes out, I continue to be disappointed that only one of them is any fun, because it's certainly not perfect.
Come on, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
UPDATE: Right now we can only play one game mode and on one map. The game mode is Rush (which is not unlike Demolition in COD) and the map is called Operation Metro.
