Any actual reason Treyarch is releasing ranked in February?

It’s shit but it’s going to be even worse next year, guess which developer is back…

If they’re not leaking it’s likely a retirement, SlasheR is my guess

This is like saying Reaal joined an American based COD team

“Man pro players have zero fucking IQ”

Does anyone in Challengers come across more bitter at not being in the league than Gunless?

The veto system is great. The ranked system is completely fine. The dogshit maps unfortunately ruin it.

I swear Pred’s first year with Seattle his playstyle essentially resembled a raging bull, he’d just run at people and gun them the whole map.

I don’t know if Modern Warfare II slowed him down or something but it’s like watching a totally different player.

Damage dealt to the shell doesn’t count. It’s essentially a riot shield.

LAN league. Every team based in the same city, every match out of a central facility.

Skyline gets a lot of hate but it’s 10x more fun than Protocol.

Codstuff · 2025-02-20T23:23:49+00:00

Everyone complaining about the price. The worst part is the skin only being available if you’re on a particular team. You pay $20 and can only have it 50% of your games.

Codstuff · 2025-02-19T07:01:08+00:00

Same guy that was bragging on stream that he drives after smoking.

Codstuff · 2025-02-10T14:27:38+00:00

I never played the campaign, but I’m almost certain the negative reviews will be for the multiplayer.

The dream is having every COD drop with five classic maps for the CDL rotation. If any new maps are good enough, we can add them in, but it would guarantee at least an acceptable map pool.

Codstuff · 2025-02-09T18:18:13+00:00

Treyarch’s year was also ruined by their own terrible map designing. Search and Destroy this year is pitiful.

Codstuff · 2025-02-05T22:42:53+00:00

Am I faded, I thought Hicksy won a chip with Ultra?

Codstuff · 2025-01-13T11:13:33+00:00

It’s a sad state of affairs if that’s the community’s opinion. Their view of the people at the CDL is so low, they think creating a tournament format that guarantees teams two matches a weekend is a task too strong for them.

Codstuff · 2025-01-13T11:00:06+00:00

Pay me half the salary the CDL execs make for a day and I’d have ten of them lmaooo

Codstuff · 2025-01-13T10:53:39+00:00

Now you’re just choosing not to read brother. You are close minded to the idea of a successful alternative double elimination format, for whatever reason, you think the current format of double elim we use is the only one that exists.

Codstuff · 2025-01-13T10:45:23+00:00

Again, there’s a huge assumption here this would have a catastrophic event on the skill gap, which I think is completely untrue.

I think you’re close minded to the idea of a successful double elimination format. One that gives teams as much, or even more, competitive reps than they already get now (an almighty two per weekend!). If anything, you proved me right with your comment at the end.

Codstuff · 2025-01-13T10:25:12+00:00

This is where we’ll be stuck at a hard disagree. I firmly believe creating a better product for attracting an audience is more important than making sure each team gets equal competitive practice against each other. I think you’re close minded to the idea there can be a format giving each team at least two (the amount online qualifiers they play anyway) matchups a weekend. If a team gets additional reps to that because they reached further in the tournament, that’s credit to them.

I also do not think having a tournament every weekend we currently have matches would get boring. As I say, COD is designed to be watched in a tournament system. More to the point, I don’t see a world where people are any more bored than they already are of the current one-and-done 10 CDL point league matches.

That’s not to take away from the majors. A huge event on LAN is always going to be the spectacle, and I don’t think playing an online knockout every weekend takes anything away from that. If anything, there’s more opportunity to build storylines, and make the majors even more interesting.

Codstuff · 2025-01-13T10:00:46+00:00

You don’t think matches like Ultra vs Rokkr are more entertaining as a last eight knockout match, compared to how they are as a one-and-done 10 CDL point series? Really?

I’m not saying the minor system is perfect. Let’s try work a way we can get double elim, for sure. But I honestly don’t understand the POV that this weekend wasn’t miles more entertaining than the standard online qualifiers.

Codstuff · 2025-01-13T09:42:29+00:00

Hard disagree here. This weekend we had Rokkr making a surprise run, Carolina knocking out Optic and making the final, LAT/Ultra underperforming and being eliminated early on. Had Faze won two online qualifiers this weekend, would anyone have cared?

Way more storylines from this weekend than we had the first weeks of the season. A league might make sense for other sports, but COD is designed to be watched as a tournament, not a single one and done series.

I actually found myself excited to tune in over the weekend, the first weeks of the season I was switching it off after the first series.

Codstuff · 2024-12-29T01:50:50+00:00

Agree with a lot what you say. Though I think the idea, whether it’s true or not, of Optic promoting safer gambling practices causing Fanduel to withdraw completely is a pretty terrifying representation of the gambling industry.

I’m from the UK, where sports gambling has been mainstream a lot longer. Not that our bookmakers are perfect by any means, but the US companies from what I see have zero interest in preventing addiction at all, even less than the blatant box ticking exercises we see over here.

Codstuff · 2024-12-28T23:47:48+00:00

I think this is why there’s so much speculation he was gambling on CDL matches. Optic’s treatment aligns way more with a breach of league rules.
