Jake “CouRage” Dunlop blasts Call of Duty Modern Warfare II for this annoying Multiplayer Control mode

From the time of its launch, MWII has mostly attracted unfavorable reactions. Fans have called out the devs for lack of content in the base game, compared to a free-to-play entry like Warzone 2. Lately, the situation has probably changed for good, after the release of Season 2. It has been received quite positively by a large number of players. But not all of them are very happy with what’s going on with the game, especially in terms of its competitive aspect.

He wrote that in his career of more than a decade while playing and doing commentary of matches, he’s never seen a mode as bad as the current title’s Control, featured in the Al Bagra Fortress map. In Jake’s words, “Al Bagra Fortress Control is the WORST game mode in Call of Duty history. It is utterly embarrassing that this is a game mode in the CDL.”

What has irked him more is the fact that devs have included Control in the aforementioned map which, according to him, is just too bad. However, Jake is not the only big Call of Duty pro player who has shared such thoughts on Multiplayer. Many other personalities have also revealed in recent weeks that the game needs more improvement overall.

It will be interesting to see how the people at Activision will handle this situation. What are your thoughts? Will the devs end up removing Control from Al Bagra in CDL? Let us know in the comments.
