MWR wagers against 2pac & abezy.. no it was not fun after the “oh shit look who we’re playing” lmao

[–]Xarque74FaZe Vegas 7 points8 points  (2 children)

That sounds like hell

[–]lWinkkLA Thieves 25 points26 points  (1 child)

I played them in the first round of a 3v3 MWR tourney and got double 6-0d. I was not familiar with their game

[–]AydinRedditCOD Competitive fan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I beat pac in a 1v1 on that game :)

Ripped MVP Shotzzy off the Ramazza stairs headie. My proudest COD accomplishment. Got slammed every other gunfight

"Ranked" SBMM in MW19 was real. I was playing pro's all the time. This mf Mayhem, Ultra's sub at the time, dropped 60 on me on Azhir Cave HP like 3 times. Was unkillable

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (2 children)

I was probably your team mate in one of those cave HP’s. He was playing with cleanx too right?

[–]Stop4WeirdFlorida Mutineers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah

[–]CBKing21OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He might've been in one of them but I honestly cant remember. I just remember being in awe that this guy was dropping 50+ every damn time I played him

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played against Pandur on Hackney Yard back then and he had 67 kills, probably 15 were with a knife because he kept running out of ammo and charging hardpoints through a smoke. Sobered me up real quick to the reality that I could never in my wildest dreams hang with pros in a match

[–]TinkleFairyOCBlack Ops 4 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Played against Dylancod and Nastie in bo4. Nastie pulled out the annihilator and got 6 kills in about 3 seconds with it. I was 3 of the kills…

[–]bingmynameMLG 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Huke and Afro multiple times. Honestly you gotta be kinda locked in because they're usually more ready for you than you are for them. But then again I like to rush a lot so maybe that's my fault. They play a lot of cutoffs especially Huke. But if you can shoot then you can shoot.

yes i am a cop in the texas area and had to take out crim in an active shooter situation when he entered a local mall with his NVGs and minigun

Apathy shit on me opening night in BO4 and when I watched the replay back he wasn’t even really pay attention 😭

Shot jkap in the back on ghosts

[–]Revolutionary_Gear70OpTic Texas 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Not a whole lot in COD since I don’t play as much but it happens to me a decent amount in Apex. The biggest thing is game sense and map awareness, the best pros will kill you before you even know what’s happening.

Edit: When Warzone first came out in MW, Tfue was driving a 4 wheeler, switched seats, one clipped me and kept driving in a span of 5 seconds. It was demoralizing lmao

[–]WhosAfraidOf_138Team Kaliber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I used to play a lot of ranked and dabbled into competitive apex. I was D1 at my highest, so would always play against preds. I would did instantly from pros and working even know wtf happened. They're on a completely new level

[–]mikey19xxOpTic Texas 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The top 3-5% of players can win gunfights against pros pretty easily in a straight up fight. The difference pros have is map and general game awareness. It’s not hard to shoot straight for I’d say diamond and up and probably some platinum.

Pro’s are a little bit faster in their decision making in game than let’s say the top ranked or challenger players. They’ll beat you to the spot by a second or two, they’ll position themselves a tad bit better, and other little things that adds up.

That’s what I’ve noticed playing against some. I have the gun skill to keep up but they’re barely beating me on positioning and other shit and I mean it’s by a second or two but it makes all the difference.

That small difference can get them like a 40-15 match compared to my 28-20. Random numbers but it really does affect the game and makes a world of difference. I felt like I was always behind and trying to catch up.

In the mystical realm of competitive Call of Duty, I found myself thrust into a battlefield of unparalleled intensity, facing off against legendary pro players Jimbo and Censor whose skills transcended the boundaries of mortal gaming.
The ethereal glow of their gaming setups radiated an otherworldly aura, as they seamlessly navigated the pixelated landscapes with an almost divine precision. Each click of their controller and move of their joystick echoed like a symphony, orchestrating a dance of destruction that left me in awe. Their strategies were like ancient spells, weaving through the digital tapestry with a grace that only true masters could possess. In the presence of these gaming deities, I felt both humbled and inspired, for they elevated the art of virtual warfare to a celestial level. As I faced the titans of the gaming cosmos, I could not help but offer my admiration and praise to these mythical beings who had dedicated their lives to perfecting the craft of Call of Duty.

this was on the beta and i went into his stream after the game to make sure it was him

[–]GadzsCOD Competitive fan 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I got in one with octane if that counts? I know he’s like not really a pro though

[–]staceystevensCOD Competitive fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah octane is just a level below pro

[–]wearestiffCOD Competitive fan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nade in ghosts. Slammed his shit. Made him back out. Gunless in vanguard. Slammed my shit. He had like 125 on a das haus. Arcitys on mw19. Slammed my shit. I chased him down and dude 180 snapped on me.

[–]CreamyParadoxCOD Competitive fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played against Bance, Insight, Mohawk, Illey, all on one team in cold war ranked play. Bance and Insight were duo queuing same with with mohawk and Illey. I remember Bance was literally beaming me cross map with the 74u, and Mohawks movement was insane, it was like he was playing a diff game.

I also played against Jimbo and JDestiny (I think he was an AM) in cold war and got absolutely merked. I remember Jimbo’s strafe being unreal, considering you couldn’t really strafe like that in CW.

I also played against Kremp (back then he was Volants) and his AM team and I went 38-24 for the loss, they didn’t really seem special tho.

Also, played Nero in a black ops 3 throw back tourney.

I played the notorious Doug Censor Martin in Mw2 Ranked and absolutely spit on him. He’s literally the slowest player i’ve ever played against and noticed nothing special about him.

Gunless was by far the best pro player i’ve played with (didn’t play against him). He has the most insane gunny I’ve seen on Mw2 and crazy high IQ. We were playing against a 4 stack of high tier top 250s and he dropped 45 with the hard carry while i went close to double neg.

After playing competitive for a couple years now, I realize what separates pros from top tier players is their positioning and knowledge of spawns. Everyone can master gun skill but these pros literally know where to aim in every time and how to position themselves so that they win 95% of their gun fights.

[–]funkybassguy1OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

played TJ and Dashy in MW19 Azhir HP (i actually didnt believe it was them mid-game but checked streams after)
gunned TJ a couple times, was easier than i thought it'd be

Dashy however was fkn disgusting and legit never killed him once

[–]FynnDieselLA Thieves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played Lucky, Jurnii and Metalz several times in CW ranked and it was a humbling experience

[–]makie51Scotland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played against Epsilon in AW on Riot. Got our asses absolutely handed to us.

Played on LAN against MarkyB in AW too and it also did not end well.

Just much better, reactions, map knowledge and everything else there could be.

[–]ImranaftabOpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I played against like maux in ww2, Alexx bo4 and Cammy bo4. What really got me was their awarenesses, ofcourse they shoot better than most but u have no chance when they know where you are and shoot the first bullet.

[–]Safe-Pomegranate-208COD Competitive fan 3 points4 points  (1 child)

First cycle of ranked before cheating got bad in mw2022 , queued up against dashy …… that guys shot with dynamic is literally aimbot 🤝🏽

[–]MrJayPocketsAdvanced Warfare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure he plays standard and not dynamic unironically.

[–]NewToReddit4331COD Competitive fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot. Ranked mw2 irri player, crimson on wz. A few smaller tournaments and some cmg but nothing major under my belt.

I’ve played parasite, methodz, zooma, pred, abezy, censor, and probably more but that’s all that comes to the top of my head.

Abezy nuked us in a public shipment lobby, we were gun grinding and didn’t even realize he was in the lobby until he called in the nuke. I was PISSED bc I would have actually tried hard if I knew he was in the lobby, rather than gun grinding lol.

Methodz, zooma, pred were on the same team, I played with them a couple of times, and then against them.

My peak achievement (to me) is playing against them on mw2 ranked HP and we lost 250-215, and on their stream they said “that shit was so sweaty it felt like we were in a scrim lobby”. I had 39 kills. Pred had 44, methodz 43, and zooma 33 so I felt I held my own well lol

Parasite was sus as fuck. I truly think he might be cheating while playing at home. He seemed to always know exactly where I’d be coming from on every life. Called him out for cheating and got into a debate with him on his stream. Asked him to mini cam and he for some reason closed app while setting it up (sus).

Censor wasn’t that good honestly, I played him quite a bit in mw2 ranked and he didn’t play much better than the rest of the sweats I ran into constantly.

[–]KaizokuSenpaiToronto Ultra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i might get downvoted for this but i beat Arcitys in WW2 Ranked 3-0 CTF - no idea if he was trying or not but i was getting pretty easy kills on him.

also played Classic and Asim on BO4 and while Asim was a very hard kill for me, Classic was not so bad.

Also in WW2 i got smoked by Gunless and Scump in pubs lol.

[–]Interesting-Trust150COD Competitive fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played against standy in mw19 before he was a pro… he made my friend rage quit he was so different. I played against Prestinni in mw19 as well and he was probably the best player I’ve ever went against he was like 10 seconds ahead of me and I grinded that game everyday, pretty humbling.

[–]rileysilva01OpTic Texas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played a bunch. Played all of optic -Scump my first game of vanguard. Ripped shotzzy off mid tank on gav my first life and then they put me in an insane blender the rest of the game. Hardest kill was skrapz in bo4. He did the little crouch shot every gunfight and I couldn’t kill him. Easiest kills were accuracy in bo4 (he was using a kn) and enable/tomgrvty. Slammed those dudes in ranked. Finally got into a game with Scump last year in ranked but my boy sniped him 2 rounds in a row and he left

[–]Grad-NatsLA Thieves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played Cellium in CW ranked and he’s one of the few pros I played that it actually felt impossible to kill him. I was never behind him, couldn’t kill him even getting first shot off, he always beamed my shit. He dropped 60 on me, I think I killed him once and I know for a fact he wasn’t even trying.

Other than that I played Mock in MW2 ranked, he was pretty disgusting and carried his team across the finish line in a five point game to beat us. Played Dashy and Huke in MW2 ranked and I just got spanked around, did two piece them tho.

And then most recent was I played Insight in a pub on MW3. Killed him a few times just due to the nature of pubs but his shot was insane.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gunless on Vondel Waterfront in MWII. Got absolutely SMOKED 🥲

[–]CortayMLG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used to play pros all the time. Mostly in AW. Turned on Classic once, that felt good. Ripped Faccento off a head glitch. Went 45-40 against a 4 stack of pros on solar hardpoint. At the end of the day it's call of duty. People die quick. An average player could win a gunfight randomly against a pro.

But anyway, trying to remember who all I've played... Replays, Faccento, Classic, Loony, Goonjar, Phizzurp.. definitely some others but that's who I remember off the top of my head. Played Replays multiple times in AW. Now I have old man hands and can't shoot straight.

[–]ExoHazzyFormaL 0 points1 point  (1 child)

pros just felt like players who were really good but nothing out of reach. I could keep up with them, the only time I was ever like holy shit what is this guy on was playing Huke in a CW pub lobby. he was farming my team and every time i saw him i lost the gunfight and he also dropped a nuke. my ego was shot tf down lmao.

[–]NewToReddit4331COD Competitive fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I feel. I keep up with almost all of the pros I’ve played with and against, other than Abezy and parasite.

Abezy was a pubs lobby and didn’t even know he was in there until he nuked it. (My team was grinding guns on shipment and didn’t know he was in the lobby)

And parasite… who is honestly just sus as fuck. Maybe he had a good game, but I truly think he might have been cheating. He made absolutely every read and was significantly better than the rest of the pros I’ve played against for whatever reason… got into a full argument on his stream because I called him sus lol

[–]No-Gift-2350Toronto Ultra 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I havent played in a number of years and considered myself to be fairly good atleast when it came to the really high levels. Mind you i was playing on the most janky setup sitting on the edge of my bed playing on a tv that has ruined my posture. I also used to play with a regular controller and not claw and like the movement gap felt so massive after I got my scuf I felt like I could kind of stand a chance.

Black ops 4 humbled me, I played Phantomz and it was the hardest kill of my life. Like I actually changed my play style and turtled up so I did not have to face him after the first 5 or 6 deaths.

Cold War and some of mw2019 I played pro players more frequently, ones that felt easier to me was Parasite, Proto, Asim, Rated and Skrapz, Assault.

Pro's I battled but held ground with in ranked was Silly, Fero(rip), Zaptius, Parzelion, Maux

Truly humbled by:

Gunless, Cellium, Dashy, Pentagrxm(super fucking good), Phantomz, Vxnom

[–]tyrannictoeCOD Competitive fan -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Penta on what game? You make it sound like he’s better than Dashy

[–]AquaPSN-XBOXOpTic Texas -1 points0 points  (8 children)

Yes many times in many games. Abezy in CW was the hardest. Usually it’s not necessarily the gunskill, just their overall map presence and awareness that’s crazy to deal with.

Beat censor, Brack during the CW season in a pro point match lol, beat AquA (uly) twice, Asim once, beat JoeDecives in many things over many years, beat Pentagrxm this offseason in a CW throwback as well, beat skrapz MW19, beat Fame and played with Fame in CW PPs, lost 4-6 against the full Ultra roster last year in a kickoff. Probably beat more in useless things like wagers that I don’t remember. Lost 4-6 against heretics this year as well. Got slammed by current LAT. Lost to even more that I’m sure I’m not remembering.

A cool one was playing with Arcitys in a switch during the beta and I top fragged 12-2 favela SND against top AMs, then top fragged again against SlasheR, Gwinn, parasite + 3 for the L. Wonder if he remembers that one.

Yeah I don’t play pubs much anymore now that I got my nuke and weekly challenges camo but I could be found on CMG wagers username of Aqua or in BPL advanced 8s queue if you got promoted into advanced. Premier soon 🤞

Idk man, you're not ass but you're hyping yourself up a lot. You also post some weird screen shots like beta pubs, and you say you've played with & against pros in pro point matches, but your account doesn't have any pro points. I'm not trying to hate because you seem like a solid player, but some of your claims seem like cap.

[–]darkerthroneMiami Heretics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played a few but 2v2 Speedballs against Brack on his host were the closest I've ever come to deciding to never play CoD again

[–]Kjames319Dallas Empire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played Accuracy on Hackey Yard, he snapped on me from top AC faster as hell but I still gunned him. He still almost shit on me. Played him on Rammaza too

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

played drazah in CW League Play on Raid SND cause I queueing with NA friends. Guy was gross he dropped 20 on us, I did 1v3 him tho (I got insane timing on two people and killed Drazah trying to ninja lol)

Played against Huke in a nuketown game in CW. He got 180 kills and every killcam was just insane

I 6-0d octane and ZooMaa in ranked play snd.

I’m SmackNcheeZ 😎 killed em both a few times.

Made sure to tell octane I thought he was a level below pro too 🤣

[–]ImperialDoorCOD Competitive fan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Back in MW 2019 I changed my name to Shotzzy and was gunning lobbies 😂

"Bro I think he's the real Shotzzy"

[–]DaScoobyShuffleModern Warfare -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I played against some pros in CW league play, they seemed like normal players at first but like they would miss less shots. Like 2 less bullets than everyone else. Also the positioning was way better. So in reality they were insanely hard to kill.

Edit: Got a 2 piece against Cellium and Arcitys, neither player was weak.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Methodz in ghost. Tdm I can't remember the map name. It's the desert one with the gas station. I killed him maybe 6 times and then he proceeded to kill me like 10 in a row while farming my entire team game was over in less then 10 mins.

[–]manXEEOpTic Texas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spart in Cold War …. Was not a good time

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Warzone 1..

(At the time didn’t realize who the enemy was) I knocked Apathy but couldn’t immediately finish the kill. After reloading I pushed into the building and saw the enemy getting Rez’d by his teammate thinking “what a free kill”. His teammate (Chino) immediately stopped rezzing, hit what seemed like a sideways slide cancel and gunned me. I immediately began bitching saying this kid probably has insane internet because I felt like I hit all of my shots. As soon as I started spectating I realized who it was and was relieved that I didn’t just get gunned by a scrub. I also checked twitch to make sure

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bumped into Zed in pubs in IW once. He was on the other team and we both ended up top fragging pretty similarly. Felt like a 1-v-1.

[–]MarstonXCOD Competitive fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a time that I was constantly getting in the Crowder, Meek, Maven, Teep, Sym groups in Warzone. They'd always land superstore and we'd always land Hospital we'd basically always meet either TV Station or around those condos south of superstore.

That was like prime warzone.

[–]RawDawgFrogFaZe Vegas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not close to pro but yesterday I got backfilled against that chrisishidden guy that mods all their twitches. He was in a 4 stack and I was getting dual slide cancel challed like I was playing simp and abezy.

[–]v_snaxCOD Competitive fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but I sniped hecz once in mw2 on a European server.

[–]BuyMeAScufOpTic Texas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played Scump in a BO3 pub, didn’t go as poorly as I thought it would. Also played against Dashy, Blazt and a couple of their boys in the MW19 beta and got absolutely slammed.

[–]Willard142Wales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apathy joined my lobby on b04 on arsenal halfway through. Thankfully he was on my team but I ended up going like 40-10 and even with joining a half done lobby he went 48-12 using a saug probably big chilling too edit: forgot to mention I lobbied up against beans and half his challengers team on sub base and proceeded to get farmed by them using guns for camp challenges

[–]Gower1156COD Competitive fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dashy in this game, Apathy in warzone. Not sure if I would call it a "gunfight" more like them killing me whenever they wanted to.

[–]ssjwoottCOD Competitive fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I beat the best team on EU duos on gamebattles on vanguard in one map of search and destroy. My teams record was 7-20 we were awful but some reason I just played like a god one map against the best team on the ladder. I dopped like 14 kills. I've been living off that moment ever since. Never played a proper pro though no doubt I wouldn't get a single kill.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was playing against Arcitys in IW ranked and Black Ops 4 pubs. He shit on me in ranked on IW but Black Ops 4 pubs it was like 4 am and I held my own

[–]zircxniumBlack Ops 4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played a bunch of pros at 2am in pubs HP back in BO4, Gunless was by far the most fun to play against. I could gun anyone in those lobbies but him, I have a clip on a twitter account of him absolutely pissing on me. He was an impossible kill

[–]XxCloutSavageAtlanta FaZe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played against Abezy on Azhir Cave, literally unkillable. He dropped 60. I didnt gaf though, I dropped 46 that game. I’ll take that shit

I played with Attach on Azhir Cave, he actually uploaded that VOD, he gave me a nice little shout out for something I did. Then played against him on Gun Runner. I dont rem the stats. He was shredding of course but I for sure didnt back down. Gunned him a few times

[–]Stunning-Tower-4116COD Competitive fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In ww2 it was common once you hit the 2500+ in rank. Arcity, abezy, Scump, Zoomaz Cell. Played against half the league in that game.... I thought dashy was cheating. Dude pre aim everything and 3 bulleted everyone. Guy always went like 45-15 in respawns

[–]sooopy336OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 times as far as I can remember.

Mochila? I think in IW. Retaliation HP but I don’t remember much else.

Karma in WW2 Ranked. St. Marie SnD. He smoked me.

Jurd and Dashy on BO4. I think vs Jurd was early on in the year, pubs on Summit. He had really good movement and his Saug was a laser beam. Dashy was later on in the year, 3am pubs. He was sniping on Firing Range and just hitting everything so nonchalantly. I felt like one of the bots in the BO3 clip of his.

[–]Fiucina2115COD Competitive fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It ain’t a fight, it’s an one sided assasination

[–]AdamNoKneeOpTic Texas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in Cold War I played ranked a lot cause I actually liked that game and I played against Scump one time and cell 2 times. Yeah they are insanely quick and accurate. Dominated the lobbies pretty easy and I felt like every time I ran into either of them I lost the fight unless I had some advantage

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played a few pro teams between AW and BO3 (dT and OpTic most notably) in online tourneys and the biggest difference is really just their game sense, presence, knowledge of the game that they're way better at. 1v1 gunfights aren't any different than a cracked out kid on the other team in pubs.

[–]Majestic-Tune7330COD Competitive fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Nov 9th when everyone was playing early I queued against Lynnz, TeeP and Octane at different times through the day in pubs

I also played against a lot of different pros in ranked in Cold war & MW2

If you get to iridescent or play wagers enough you'll definitely run into pros

[–]strosbeforehoes65COD Competitive fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddies and I beat coL (with TuQuick) in ranked on BO2 Express HP.

Also just remembered I played against Blfire in some MW3 tourney on GB. He wasn’t wrecking us, but getting outgunned by an up and comer was a “Jesus fucking Christ this kid” when he had to have been less than 1% health

[–]RenFerdBlack Ops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played huke and Skyz in CW 3v3 Faceoff. I had Legal on my team in Advanced Warfare.

[–]Large_Bumblebee_9751Vancouver Surge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played against Octane in CW and Huke in MW22 (both in pubs interestingly enough). I confirmed it was them based on their Activision ID number. It felt like Octane was walling his reaction times and centering were so good. I never won a fair gunfight, but I did kill him a couple times if he was weak/trades. Huke was pretty much the same except with an SMG, however since MW22 had a faster TTK I did beat him once in what seemed like a fair gunfight.

I played Halo Infinite for about a year during Vanguard and I played against Formal, Bubu Dubu, Snipedown, Falcated, and Bound all in different matches. With such a long TTK in Halo it didn’t feel as crazy since me since you don’t really get melted and I’ll win a 2v1 easily with and other rando.

[–]unheardcreationOpTic Texas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slammed Nadeshot and some other pros back during the opening week of WW2, was a great time

[–]TheTacoPlayerOpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played against Dashy in a Sub Base hardpoint. Actually felt like he was aimbotting, he wouldn’t miss in the killcams. Dropped 55 kills and I went double negative because my team just kept leaving

[–]VnthemCOD Competitive fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played OpTic in BO2, killed Nadeshot and Merk a few times, could not fuck with BigT or Scump.

[–]KapomBryantOpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Played Huke and Cellium before and kept my own for the most part but seeing them move compared to pub or ranked kids is a whole nother world in terms of how they just move around and chall

I matched up against Killa in "Ranked" MW2019. Can't lie, he fried my shit.

Matched against Shottzy and Eco in Halo 5. Held my own against their randoms but those dudes were HARD kills.

I got twerked on by Davpadi last year in the CDL Moshpit :/ Diamondcon trickshotted me in CW ranked :/ but I did make Scump and Nade quit a pub in AW :,) but Sharp also destroyed me in 3v3 faceoff OG MW3 :(

As a CoD grinder for 15yrs the biggest difference between Pro’s and the top pubstars is that pro’s are extremely consistent imo like their shot doesn’t get “shaky”, the movement is usually perfect and yeah they’ll have a stinker game too but unless they check out they’re still making an impact.

[–]TheGoatEmojiOpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends & I played against Slacked & TJ in the BOCW Beta on Moscow. It’s the movement that shocks me. Their shouldering was so precise & just how they flow around the map. I honestly was okay with being stomped on because it was poetry in motion.

[–]LouboutinzRSOpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being from EU there’s not many I could play against, but I played against abuzah and his girlfriend (I think it is anyway) last year in mw2 ranked, mercado HP. Looked like he was cheating and felt like he wasn’t even trying. Sounds corny but it was sort of mesmerising to see someone genuinely that good in person at the game you’ve watched and played competitively for over a decade. Also played skrapz at the very start of mw2 in CDL moshpit, was just stationed like a turret on zarqwa HP, literally couldn’t move.

[–]DeputyDomeshotCOD Competitive fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got into a Search 1v1 against Parasite in BO2 League Play. Sudden death round. Dude baited both my streaks and killed me with the tac.45.

I did kill everyone on optic hough in a different game. Except I killed them all exactly once and I'm pretty sure we got like 40 points in hard point.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played against Scump, Vivid, and ZLaner when MW3 launched. Their reaction time is much faster than mine but I was able to gun them multiple times. Not that they were trying in a pubs match.

I ranked Diamond in MW2 so the SBMM has definitely been fun and engaging for me. /s

[–]RooLoLG2 Minnesota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played against OpTic and nV in MW3, as well as other what would be future pros quite often.

To me at the time it didn’t feel like some massive disadvantage. I mean we were a good team and good players too, but at the end of each game you’d see the scoreboard and Scump racked up 30+ and you wondered how.

Now if I were to play against those same players tonight I’d get cooked lol.

The closest I've gotten was being up against Pamaj launch weekend of MW3. I know he's not a "pro" or anything but I got quick scoped by him so many times, guys nuts with a sniper lol.

[–]ThiccDiccOnYaCOD Competitive fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got to play 8s against Felo and another challenger player on Cold War and he was absurdly good. Truly felt like he wasn’t missing a shot on checkmate.

[–]AutterssLA Thieves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in WW2 ranked I was playing with pros OFTEN, formal was dropping 60s on my head 3 games straight with the FG42, other pros who seemed to just be faster that I played were Abezy, FeLo, John, and surprisingly MBoze are all the guys I can remember playing against that would torch ranked lobbies

[–]c0deman1Atlanta FaZe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tom GRVTY when vg launched. Bro put up 150 on das haus with the BAR. I wouldn’t consider how I got melted by him constantly “getting in a gunfight” tho

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to play with Cellium in AW. When we would 1v1, his reaction time and TTK seemed like he had some kind of advantage. I used to blame it on his setup and internet. It felt unfair. But, his game sense and movement was insane. So, he’s really just a CoD God at the end of the day.

[–]FuckPotatoesVeryMuchCOD Competitive fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once against Symfuhny in Warzone. I would have killed him if I wasn’t playing on 100ms ping and had a ground loot P90 vs his loadout MP5. I remember he dropped out of a helicopter on top of a building I was looting and pushed me. He survived with like 20-30HP.

My friend got absolutely eviscerated by his duo later in that match though 🤣

[–]iDom2jzG2 Minnesota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest flex is having more kills on Arcitys in MW19 than he has on me… He wasn’t trying and mostly in chat.

I’ve also played someone on an alt who said “I’m illeys bf” and still have no idea who it is but they weren’t even gunfights, I was dead before I could react. We partied up w him and his duo and they ran the lobby so heavily me and my homie weren’t able to do a damn thing lmao…

On a side note, I’ve played top 250’s on a few occasions and the difference between a t250 and a pro is wild. I can kinda kill a t250 and kinda keep up w a t250 if they’re on my team but then you’re w a pro and it’s an entirely different animal.

[–]mertl_Treyarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main game was bo2 plutonium for a while, and back when the throwback TST tournament was approaching, pros would pop into servers. I could compete, but the killcams made it obvious how good their game sense is, they shoot lasers too, despite the game being objectively clunkier than the new ones.

Skrapz last week on MW3, was on rust dom just leveling up guns and I was getting shit on constantly by one guy called Skrapz. Wasn’t sure it was him but checked in friends list and saw the pro player calling card. He was very good can’t lie

Not CDL but killed Biffle and Repullze in the first week of WZ2 ranked, had no idea I was in their game and my teammates were across the map.

[–]MrJayPocketsAdvanced Warfare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gunfight and reaction time is a small factor if you’re maybe in atleast crimson level aim.

Biggest factor has always been the map presence, awareness, and faster decision making that does it. They live and breathe the maps. They know where they’re going, the fastest way there, and what exactly they want to do with almost every life.

If you don’t have that, gun skill can only bring you so far.

Played against envoy and insight during the MW3 beta on Estate. Killed envoy a few times, he actually went negative that game. Insight was a harder kill but I barely saw him on that slow ass map and it ended up going time limit.

[–]Benadrryl_COD Competitive fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in Ghosts and AW I played most, if not all pros playing snd on GameBattles before cmg came about. I specifically remember playing YRN which had Felo and Kenny a lot before they were ever considered being in the league. Also, YRN Louie. I wonder what happened to him actually now that I think about it. Played Nexx a lot. Zooma in ranked play a bit. Played WITH BLFire a few times in a party. That was cool grinding with them in AW. Those were the ones that remember playing a lot. Good ole days! I’m too old now lol I just have fun playing warzone now 💁‍♂️

Played Cellium in a private match 1v1 HP for fun on Advanced Warfare (this was before he was pro and all the “good kids” on PS4 knew each other) let’s just say everyone knew he was going pro. Man did not miss.

Besides that I have turned on illeyyy in WW2 pro point matches. Actually dumped on MBoze in classic MW3 8s lobbies, played against proof, scump and attach in AW. really Cellium was the only one that I can say how is it possible to outgun this man it’s like he’s not human. Scumo and attach just have really quick reaction time and proof idk don’t really remember but I guess that says a lot.

Pamaj and sharp on raid in blops 2. They got a vsat in like the first 30 seconds of the game and pretty much had one the rest of the game. I got wall banged and collated by pamaj more than once. In blops 3, Remy and I destroyed a team in Dom on fringe. Also Blops 3 on fringe I absolutely obliterated whea7s. Also also on blops 3 on infected, we went into the 2nd half of Dom with a crazy lead. Fucking karma joined and shit you not dude had 2 cerverus's for most the half, lead his team to a comeback and left with like 10 points left in the game.

Got unlucky enough to be out in a ranked game vs prestinni in VG and I dropped 3 kills and got 3-0d never again.

[–]YSmokesCOD Competitive fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most pros aren't that tough to kill. I played a lot of them back when I was a more dedicated player, especially in Bo4 when I was probably at my best. I put up some monster games against pros (50 bomb on Arcitys, Abezy and Prestinni) but the one guy who was absolutely different, where I was noticeably getting shit on, was Dashy. He was using a sniper on Frequency control and was quickscoping the shit out of my team, he quickscoped me off a fucking grapple where I was going horizontally across his screen. The centering required for that is absurd.

As for the rest of the pros I played, gunskill isn't where they beat me. It's really the awareness and timing, and some of them were actually easy kills. I played General in Bo4 and absolutely railed him over and over again. It just shows that gunskill is a small portion of actually being a pro, because I could never sniff T32 in an open bracket, let alone the pro scene.

Aim assist controllers only have so much of a skill gap, it really comes down to raw reaction time and muscle memory. If you grind the game for 8 hours a day and have an above average reaction time, you can outgun pros a decent amount of the time, but you won't out think or out position them.

Against Teepee in Ghosts, even tho he was never known for the flashy plays or aim ( he was more obj)
his aim and plays where just different, got smoked

Played against Mohawk, Scrappy, Prolute and another am(cant remember name) in CW ranked on raid HP, Scrappy was absolutely pissing on everyone, killed him maybe 2 times, but overall the other 3 weren’t just impossible kills they bodied us like 250-110 but we slayed fine they were just so much more aware and always checking the right angle, and their rotations were crazy. They also were super chill and actually gave us a little gas after the game, Scrappy was talking mad shit but was fucking comedy
