OK All you psych majors.. I have a subject for you.. Me! 
When I play WarZone, I usually avoid combat whenever I can.. I suck and I know it so, to soothe my fragile ego, I only get involved when A) I can't avoid it or 2) I believe I got the drop on the enemy...
But whenever combat ensues, my heart starts racing. My normal resting heartrate is around 70-80. When in combat, it jumps to 130-140.. I hyperventilate and my hands start shaking from adrenaline. And, when I die (which is usually) I take it VERY personally, as if enemy personally sought me out, just to f**ck me over. Plus I am very pissed about the Console Aimbots and teams as I may have mentioned once or twice here..
Now, when I play BOCW, none of this happens... Sure, the blood starts pumpin' and I get pissed when I get killed, but (despite my stats heh) I feel I am holding my own and am usually above average in the kills and KDR departments.. But I don't take anything personally, and I don't rail against teams and aimbots.. I just enjoy the game..
So, for any who have psych training what gives?? I mean, am I just an asshole?? Is there a major difference in the games beyond gameplay?? Maybe Treyarch uses a muted or less uneven algorithm for their Aim Assist?? The reason I am baring my soul about this is, if I can figure out WHY it happens maybe I can take steps to mitigate things and enjoy Warzone more..
