It feels like IW lacks confidence in whatever vision they have

Like obviously you should listen to feedback but it feels like they're just taking every twitter complaint. I feel like this is backed up by a COD YouTuber saying he knows someone who played an early build of the game (famous streamer. He was named but I forgot) and he was pretty scathing and told IW it would basically be MWll (2022) all over again and they apparently changed MAJOR aspects of the game after that.

It just feels like they've over corrected criticisms of never listening to feedback to just have everyone else make the vision and game which isn't good either because gamers aren't game designers so they don't always know what's best.

I mean modern warfare games have fast TTK and now they're making it even longer then longer they've already made I feel like it would be better to do incremental changes instead of big ones. I think this is a fundamental flaw with short betas tbf.

I feel bad for the devs and even the new leadership because I feel like morale might just be down because of the past couple CODs and how they've been received so they're trying to help the franchise but it's them listening to everyone (they don't have control over matchmaking I'm pretty sure.) And there are definitely bad faith actors who have said for years feedback feedback feedback and now are flipping to too much too much too much listening and will never be happy but I've always been principally consistent in this that game designers do in fact know better sometimes.
