[QUOTE=Big Bang;43421050]i legit don't get competitive call of duty. legitimately I don't get it, specially since the only difficulty is that they're shooting using a controller. they all use roughly the same loadouts, there's no real game plan nor strategy considering you spawn at random places, and tbh the only difference between a regular player and a pro player is that they know the maps and can place themselves in such ways that they can avoid getting ambushed most of the time. the accuracy is just some practice, nothing too difficult though since the game has autocorrect anyway.
i think that's the reason why people can get to be so unsportsmanlike on it, it's so hard to variate from it that the drama is what keeps it entertaining. in any other competitive game ragers get chewed out so badly.[/QUOTE]
I spent the best of an hour watching an MLG COD Match between Optic and Evil and seriously it was nothing special, they are in some degree quite quick but like you said they don't really use any proper tactics which makes it really boring for me.
With the video I watched, at the tension was building up the commentator was speaking faster and faster but literally to the point it was like he was rapping super quick.

Pro CoD is a fucking joke that exists solely for profiteering, unlike other, actual eSports that are worth something.

hehe "fit"
CoD "competitive" immediately becomes a lot less impressive once you realize the game has a locked fov of 60
(not that I have anything against low FOVs in game, but in this context it means that it's super easy to get killed by someone you didn't even see)
i don't know, i mostly play Quake Live and CS: GO. CoD seems on the same level as an eSport. CoD's just easier to play.

and i mean, all those games are just basically "place crosshair on enemies and shoot to hurt them" there aren't much tactics on this. (scratch that, CS:GO needs lots of tactics)

I played CoD MP during the free weekend and 99% times it's basicly who sees who first.
I really hate 'pro' cod players on console, how can you be pro when auto aim does 95% of the work.

There's so much wrong with competitive CoD and this is the thing you choose as an example? :v:
Getting killed by people you didn't see isn't exactly wrong, you can adjust to playing at 60 FoV and be pretty damn aware. Using sound queues rather than sight certainly helps. FoV shouldn't be a factor if you're playing the game competitively, you should be good enough at the game to just deal with it.
[QUOTE=hexpunK;43416891]Should you deviate from the standard loadouts of ak/deagle in semi-serious comp matches, scrims, whatever. You will be insulted to no fucking end. It's the most boring fucking thing ever to watch. They all take basically the same routes, using the same weapons performing roughly the same actions because that's the "winning" tactic.
If you can't play the game in its entirety, you can't play the game.[/QUOTE]
Welcome to literally every competitive scene
[QUOTE=hexpunK;43416891]The great thing is that the competitive level tournaments have adjusted the game rules as much as they can to remove half the fun shit from the game. In CoD4 alone, half the ARs are unusable, the ones that are left all go untouched (except the AK-47 w/RDS). The SMGs? AKs-74u is the only one you ever see. Pistols? Deagle or go home. Sniper rifles? Who fucking cares the scope sway is gone and they only left the bolt action ones in.

yes, you just explained every competitive fps in history, if you're playing cs what do you see? ak's, m4s, awps and deags(except in cs:go cause it blows in cs:go) because they're all the strongest weapons in the game and give you the best bang for your buck. the only time you dont see these weapons is if it's an eco buy or the pistol round.
its not that the competitive scene likes to remove fun from the game, its just that there are certain choices in the game that are better than the rest and will give you the biggest advantage over the opposition
[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;43427982]Welcome to literally every competitive scene[/QUOTE]
no ak
no deagle
final destination

Having 4 Years of Promod experience i can tell you there no RDS's in any Tournament you'll ever see. the Only attachment you can select is a silencer thats it.
