COD: WW II Director discusses gun balancing. “Did we go too far with the last fire rate nerf?”

Michael Condry – Game Director of Call of Duty: WW II – took to Reddit to discuss recent changes made to the most recent COD.

It was great playing with you throughout the Christmas / NY break and during Winter Siege event! The MP team was very active online and got an incredible amount of first hand insights. We also pulled a ton of match data to see how the community was playing across the globe.

Condrey’s post centered around weapon tuning, and he discussed the balance of four specific guns. Jeff Kaplan has been super transparent with his thoughts on balancing Overwatch and it’s great to see another gigantic online shooter franchise take a similar approach.

Here’s what he had to say.

Mathew is a huge fan of Space, Strategy, and Shadowrun (Genesis version is #1). When it comes to games and films, he’d much rather experience a 10/10 classic from yesteryear than a 6/10 modern blandfest. He does feel we’re living in a gaming golden age with the power of indie developers at an all-time high, but wishes AAA publishers would take more risks. Mat believes it’s only a matter of time before the pendulum swings the other way and new ideas take their rightful place above reboots.
