Today I was playing Call of Duty on a 30ish player server when Wet Work came up as the next map. I dread maps like Wet Work, Ambush and Shipment because Nade Spam is so prevalent and effective. The majority of the kills come from spamming three Nades right after you spawn and than hoping you don’t killed by nade spam yourself. Most of the other maps don’t have this problem assuming a reasonable number of players because they are large enough or have enclosed building which makes nade spam ineffective.

This compounded the problem and in the end I didn’t get more than a handful of none nade kills. I don’t think this was just an incident of my personal incompetence or anger, other players shared my same opinion albeit with more colorful language.
