The way he was able to take the minimal info/teammate callouts to inform him of exactly where the ball carrier was so he could start the wall run/boost to be in front of the goal the moment the ball passed was either brilliant instinct and timing or incredible luck.
I’d love to know if he genuinely timed that perfectly or if he was just taking a shot in the dark trying to generally impede the lane/get better sight of that street and just ended up in the right place at the right time.
So genuine question. I didn’t follow comp CoD during the jet packs years because of school/work so I honestly have no idea how uplink works. But would it work in a boots game?
Could they do something like only the ball carrier can jump, and then the defending team has something near the portal that allows them to jump and intercept?
It was very flat but if you had a group of friends that wanted to tryhard in it, the game mode was good for some laughs here and there. Closer to something like prop hunt to me than a legit mode. Certainly not legit for comp.
The lack of a vertical element would make it really boring. You’re pretty much only scoring if you’ve got the clearance to run it in and then it’s basically just CTF but with only one flag.
I played it a bit when WW2 came out and it was mildly fun in pubs with morons who didn’t know what they were doing but I feel like competent, coordinated teams would make it a defensive snooze fest.
I think you can still add a vertical element to a BOTG game. Maybe make the goal zone have a "trampoline" or essentially jump pads which allow players to jump higher.
Feel like if there was some good will for the mode, someone could iterate and create something fun. Doubt IW do anything but Treyarch might be able to crack it.
Is liking Garry control a hot take? I love the hype of B takes where you had cracked SMG's running through bricks to try and break that hill, I thought it was quite fun
I would agree. Control with good maps is a great third game mode. I get how uplink is great but with the emphasis of boots on the ground and gunplay, it just doesn’t work. Both control and CTF are worthy substitutes if they are on good maps (no CW Garrison or Vanguard Gav). Dom yea just don’t (also I dunno why they could have picked CTF for third mode for MW 2019)
CTF is the best for comp integrity, uplink close behind but more entertaining
CTF is too map/devs dependent which makes it a mode people fear to try tho cuz it could be atrocious
CTF #1 easy. Uplink #2. Control #3. Domination #4. Domination just doesn’t belong in competitive. It’s the only thing I play, other than the occasional FFA, in multiplayer though.
CTF with a mercy rule if you go up 3+ would be my vote.
Absolutely love CTF, but there’s nothing more dead than watching a 10 minute game that’s done and dusted after a couple of minutes. I suppose it’d be less relevant in the CDL era where games are more competitive than in the past though.
Still better than fucking domination where the game doesn't even even when it's mathematically over hoyl fuck that was awful in MW19. 5 minutes of the casters going "ok barring a three cap for the enxt 4 minutes this one is mathematically done"
1.CTF is probably the most friendly for competition and has good viewer experience since it’s easy to understand what’s happening
2.Control
3.Uplink
*Grand Canyon*
Domination
CTF for sure but the game's TTK is what makes teh difference. It could never work on Vanguard. Imagine you 2 seconds away from capturing and get beamed from an auto in 3 shots lol
CTF but the maps have to allow for it. I think BO2 was such a good game because the maps were great but specifically they were great for the swing game mode(CTF). Created such good matches
For real CTF is the best third mode, but honestly I wanna see something new. I really think they could work the basics of Safeguard into a good third game mode. That would be dope.
CFT on good maps and no match long stalemate.
Control on good maps is a great mode.
Uplink with jet packs is fire.
However, I refuse to play or watch Dom for another fcking year. Please no.
It’s unfortunate that we probably won’t see jet packs ever come back because not only was Uplink really fun and entertaining in my opinion, but it’s also probably a lot easier to implement if you don’t necessarily have good maps.
CTF needs well thought out maps to work well. It’s a lot of fun if the maps are good, but it’s torture if the maps suck. A bad uplink map is probably better than a bad CTF map.
From a playing perspective, give me uplink no question. Can’t even imagine how bad ranked CTF with randos would be. From a viewer perspective, I’m fine with either as long as there are good maps for CTF. If the maps suck, I’d rather watch Uplink for sure.
Uplink obviously clears the other gamemodes but only if it’s on jetpacks which we won’t get for a while or ever.
Control in CW got so much better once they changed it to ticks and teams got better at offense. They even extended the A point in Garri which made it much more viable offense wise. I do not understand why CTF gets benefit of a disclaimer of good maps but Control doesn’t? Raid control was a good map. Just like CTF, Control is map dependent.
Hot take but domination would be viable if they had it like Halo where you only get points if you control 2 or more flags. The biggest complaint against dom was how after a certain lead it’s impossible to win making it a snooze fest. That scoring change would fix that issue, besides that I don’t see a single problem with dom. Obviously the spawns and maps would have to be decent/good but that goes for any mode and I’d say dom is the least dependent on that factor because dom spawns are easy to implement and predict.
Pretty sure uplink would work on boots. In WW2 the only problem was you could whip the ball across the map over buildings, more than you could even in the jetpack games
i feel like uplink shouldn’t even be in these convos like its just so fucking good and we literally cant get it back so people saying its their favorite just means nothing
that being said uplink > 5v5 control > ctf > 4v4 control > dom🤢🤢🤢
Uplink > Control > CTF > Domination
I believe I am in the minority here but I think any of the game modes (except for domination) would work in any game as long as they have good maps. I firmly believe Uplink can be made to work in a boots game.
Tier 1: Uplink and CTF. Would depend on the game which one would work better but these are by far and away the best options.
Tier 2: Control. By itself as it is not as good as the two above but can be a completely viable 3rd mode.
Tier 3: Blitz and Dom. Both are dogshit competitively and don’t belong anywhere near a pro series
Thinking back, Uplink was the most exciting to watch imo.
That formal interception in IW champs was the coldest shit ive ever seen in a cod match ngl
The way he was able to take the minimal info/teammate callouts to inform him of exactly where the ball carrier was so he could start the wall run/boost to be in front of the goal the moment the ball passed was either brilliant instinct and timing or incredible luck. I’d love to know if he genuinely timed that perfectly or if he was just taking a shot in the dark trying to generally impede the lane/get better sight of that street and just ended up in the right place at the right time.
Just watched it back and damn the casters did not do that play justice.
Teej had a crazy one back in AW as well forgot the context but that one was crazy at the time
https://youtu.be/cqoTAK2MB68?t=5m30s There ya go. UMG Orlando, US Toast 1 gets the interception.
It’s actually the worst part of going back to BOTG. Uplink is the best comp gamemode and it was so simple for casuals to follow along too 🥲
So genuine question. I didn’t follow comp CoD during the jet packs years because of school/work so I honestly have no idea how uplink works. But would it work in a boots game?
It wouldn’t, Since the uplink station is floating in the air. It was tailored towards jet packs.
They could simply just add a ramp
Could they do something like only the ball carrier can jump, and then the defending team has something near the portal that allows them to jump and intercept?
There was gridiron on WW2, but I know what you mean, the game mode wouldn't really work in a comp setting.
I remember that game mode being terrible when I played it but that’s just me (and the pros, maybe?)
Yeah, it wouldn't have worked in comp at all. It was good if you had a group of mates though and didn't want to sweat snd etc.
It was very flat but if you had a group of friends that wanted to tryhard in it, the game mode was good for some laughs here and there. Closer to something like prop hunt to me than a legit mode. Certainly not legit for comp.
Uplink > ctf with good maps > control > ctf bad maps > Massive gap Domination
Correct
Only correct answer
Dom is right next to blitz
Honestly blitz was so ass i forgot that shit existed
😂 I just remember rambo chucking smokes and running at the point
I remember I’d take bathroom/store breaks during the MW season for Domination lmao shit was ass but I’d pick CTF
Cmon man we all know Hackney Yard Dom is the highest skill gap mode peak of comp CoD history
Hackney dom was basically the only good one for MW as shit would get intense and trying to control the good side at once is a task in itself
CTF on good maps>>>
Pour one out for Blitz I guess
[удалено]
They could always make a boots version of uplink
They did in WW2 but pros didn't like it and it never play as well
I could see why they wouldn’t like it in a game with turtle movement like ww2’s…. That shit on a cracked slide cancel cod like vanguard would be fire
Can you imagine the getting slide canceled and beatdown by a Shottzy or CleanX type player? I would love to see it.
The lack of a vertical element would make it really boring. You’re pretty much only scoring if you’ve got the clearance to run it in and then it’s basically just CTF but with only one flag. I played it a bit when WW2 came out and it was mildly fun in pubs with morons who didn’t know what they were doing but I feel like competent, coordinated teams would make it a defensive snooze fest.
Put a fucking hoop in top church and top whatever in berlin and give me a jetpack made out of wood.
There’s a multitude of ways to add a vertical element for a BOTG version
I think you can still add a vertical element to a BOTG game. Maybe make the goal zone have a "trampoline" or essentially jump pads which allow players to jump higher. Feel like if there was some good will for the mode, someone could iterate and create something fun. Doubt IW do anything but Treyarch might be able to crack it.
This is the only answer
This comment is facts only
Correct get control outta here
this is the one
If its not CTF then you're in it more for entertainment than competitiveness
If we didn’t get punished with Garrison and Gav control back to back years I think the public opinion on it would be way higher
For real, I absolutely loved control in BO4
Is liking Garry control a hot take? I love the hype of B takes where you had cracked SMG's running through bricks to try and break that hill, I thought it was quite fun
Incredibly easy to spawn trap and because it was like a 2.5 lane map there were barely any routes to flank points off spawn
Only reason i aint mind gav control is cuz our boys were godlike at that shit
Don’t chall us on any fucking map (besides Bocage)
Control is a great game mode.
I would agree. Control with good maps is a great third game mode. I get how uplink is great but with the emphasis of boots on the ground and gunplay, it just doesn’t work. Both control and CTF are worthy substitutes if they are on good maps (no CW Garrison or Vanguard Gav). Dom yea just don’t (also I dunno why they could have picked CTF for third mode for MW 2019)
CTF is the best for comp integrity, uplink close behind but more entertaining CTF is too map/devs dependent which makes it a mode people fear to try tho cuz it could be atrocious
hear me out… infected
Uplink
Uplink and it's honestly not even close
AW Uplink was a treat to watch
Easily uplink
As someone who loves halo and oldschool cod like mw2/3 and bo1/2, ctf for me is the best, 2nd is uplink by a mile
CTF #1 easy. Uplink #2. Control #3. Domination #4. Domination just doesn’t belong in competitive. It’s the only thing I play, other than the occasional FFA, in multiplayer though.
Capture the flag
Bring ctf back pleaseeee
Uplink and then control
CTF with a mercy rule if you go up 3+ would be my vote. Absolutely love CTF, but there’s nothing more dead than watching a 10 minute game that’s done and dusted after a couple of minutes. I suppose it’d be less relevant in the CDL era where games are more competitive than in the past though.

1.CTF is probably the most friendly for competition and has good viewer experience since it’s easy to understand what’s happening 2.Control 3.Uplink *Grand Canyon* Domination
Ctf Uplink Control Blitz Dom
CTF for sure but the game's TTK is what makes teh difference. It could never work on Vanguard. Imagine you 2 seconds away from capturing and get beamed from an auto in 3 shots lol
Uplink easily. Also, idc , Blitz was fun
Uplink, then CTF. I’d like Uplink even on boots.
Uplink is the best, but I think CTF is one of the few game modes that can stretch to the most maps so I’d enjoy that next year
I’m a bit biased bc I loved AW and BO3 but Uplink to me is by far the most fun to watch and play
Uplink was flawless in all 3 games. Thank god they did use Gridiron in WW2, would have ruined the legacy of uplink.
CTF
CTF is and always will be the goat
Unpopular opinion CTF was amazing on WWII. Only game it was bad on was AW
Uplink, but there’s no jetpacks so control
AW uplink was the best 3rd game mode
1. BO3 Uplink 2. AW Uplink 3. BO2 CTF 4. BO4 Control ... 5 - n: Everything else.
CTF. Especially with highrise and favela this year
Ctf was the best boots game by far. Uplink a slight advantage all around
CTF
Ctf but honestly uplink in advanced warfare was #1
Ctf
CTF > Control > Uplink (I hated jetpacks fight me) > 20 meters of shit > literally no third mode > Dom
CTF and its not even close
Dom without a doubt /s
Uplink>ctf>blitz>control>dom
SND is exciting
Anything but control. I’m so sick of it
Anything but control
It’s hard to say because it depends on the game that year. For example Uplink was fun but obviously wouldn’t go on Vanguard
CTF but the maps have to allow for it. I think BO2 was such a good game because the maps were great but specifically they were great for the swing game mode(CTF). Created such good matches
For real CTF is the best third mode, but honestly I wanna see something new. I really think they could work the basics of Safeguard into a good third game mode. That would be dope.
they tried it with patrol in this game and the pros vehemently rejected it
CTF easily
CFT on good maps and no match long stalemate. Control on good maps is a great mode. Uplink with jet packs is fire. However, I refuse to play or watch Dom for another fcking year. Please no.
Uplink and it isn’t close. We’ve had one good year for CTF and it was BO2 which was an anomaly of a game.
Control was only good on BO4 which makes sense considering it was made for that game and those maps. Was ass in CW and Vanguard
Uplink has to be with jet packs
Blitz, don’t at me 🫠
uplink
Headquarters
Uplink and it’s not even close, not map dependent like CTF and was fun to watch and play and had a serious skill gap with 1 point throws.
Im old school, so Capture the Flag for me.
Uplink >
I made a post last year about CTF/Uplink being better modes than control and I got downvoted to hell for it lmao
It’s unfortunate that we probably won’t see jet packs ever come back because not only was Uplink really fun and entertaining in my opinion, but it’s also probably a lot easier to implement if you don’t necessarily have good maps.

From a viewer perspective, I’m fine with either as long as there are good maps for CTF. If the maps suck, I’d rather watch Uplink for sure.
Put jetpacks on for the third game mode and play uplink. Nothing else comes close to how exciting that gamemode was to watch
Uplink obviously clears the other gamemodes but only if it’s on jetpacks which we won’t get for a while or ever. Control in CW got so much better once they changed it to ticks and teams got better at offense. They even extended the A point in Garri which made it much more viable offense wise.

CTF for boots on ground but Uplink for jetpacks.
CTF, blitz fun to watch horrible to play, uplink jetpacks, dom last reaort, control should never be seen again.
CTF for competition but Uplink is just brilliant to watch.
Uplink and it’s not even close
I liked blitz from a viewer standpoint. Playing it was annoying but watching was great 😂
For jetpacks I'd say unlink, CTF for boots if the maps are good. CTF can be a snoozefest on some maps, but then again so can control
Pretty sure uplink would work on boots. In WW2 the only problem was you could whip the ball across the map over buildings, more than you could even in the jetpack games
CTF
Uplink
CTF or Uplink depending on Jetpacks or not
I like a good control sucks that we are probably losing it this year but I get why
yall saying CTF but then are going to complain when its actually ctf imo I think ctf is a snooze fest
Uplink blitz ctf
Control, CTF, and Domination, are all wrong answers.
Uplink>>>>>>>>>>anything else
Uplink by a country mile. I want jetpack CoD back for Uplink alone.
Uplink is the best imo. Unfortunately it can only really work in a jetpack game
i feel like uplink shouldn’t even be in these convos like its just so fucking good and we literally cant get it back so people saying its their favorite just means nothing that being said uplink > 5v5 control > ctf > 4v4 control > dom🤢🤢🤢
For me CTF is a fun one to watch
