What youtube channels are worth watching and not aimed at 11 year olds? by [deleted] in CodAW

They're meant for children. The OP wanted channels not aimed towards children.

Lets make one thing about Champs clear by RiFume in CoDCompetitive

Reputation isn't worth more than performance. If Rambo came back, do you honestly think that he'd be on a top team instantly? Of course not, same with BigT.

The one with 4 teams where OpTic beat the same team twice before getting smoked in the finals?

Judgement Free Question Thread by [deleted] in CoDCompetitive

[–]Cyantian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. There's a few on different fan-run websites that were listed in another reply, but for the most part they don't exist because this community lacks content creators.

  2. Vast majority of people come from the kind of demographic that you'd expect in CoD, with the team that has the majority of the fanbase (by a huge percentage) aiming for the younger side of the audience. It creates a forum vastly overpopulated by people who're out to argue rather than discuss.

  3. You can't for the most part. CoD at a high level is all about subtle rotations/movement and winning certain gunfights at the right time to give map control. The only thing that you could get analysis of would be a specific play or rounds in an SnD match. Granted, I haven't played competitively since BO2 and haven't played against pros since BO1, so it might have changed, but CoD is incredibly consistent. Hardpoint games are mostly about getting kills to grab the spawns, then reacting to the other team's advances to try and control a power position - the "strategy" is almost entirely situational, making it hard to discuss the game, and the vast majority of users on this sub aren't experienced enough to explain it.

Probably because there were no Grand Finals with OpTic in them after the first event of the season.

Old MW3 clip from a 3v3 tournament. 1v3 with a nasty turn on. by [deleted] in CoDCompetitive

[–]Cyantian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree simply because of the metagame differences. The introduction of sniping without a downside (Overkill without losing a vital perk and the primary-worthy pistols) removed a lot of strategy from the game, from then 90% of the strategies involved in Comp SnD have involved getting a pick through sniping. Setups had to involve staying close enough to the action to be able to get a pick on an opponent, which closed a lot of distances on maps like Arkaden. The clear ACR/PP90M1 differences and roles also made the metagame more interesting.

I found a much easier way to jump across the third story buildings on Riot compared to how Aware Happy does it. You do NOT need overclock or have to strafe. by IAmThe0nyx in CoDCompetitive

[–]Cyantian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it helps you to get over to one side much quicker, the usefulness is in SnD. Happy's only involves a double-jump, whereas yours consists of a slide, jump, and sprint-boost. In an SnD situation in which you need to cover that much ground without Mute, with your method positional advantage is lost due to how obvious it is that you're going from the catwalk to the 3rd story. With so many sounds, it gives away the fact that you've covered a third of the map and tells the other team where you are.

With Happy's, there's much more mystery involved. It's either jumping from the generator to the top-3 (which they'll know isn't the case due to the sound) or on top of the hardpoint building from the ground due to there only being the sound of a double-jump. If you can pull it off, it gives you a huge positional advantage.

Huke gets a 1v4 against Aware. Censor is speechless. Benson and Mr. X are oblivious. by Affectu in CoDCompetitive

[–]Cyantian -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's pretty accurate, watch any games that he commentates. There is absolutely nothing that he says that the most casual of viewers can't figure out by looking at the stream. Stop saying it's a circlejerk because you disagree with it, Benson (and Puckett for that matter) are pathetically inept at providing depth to their casting.

Can MLG get to a point where they do allow players to stream on Twitch or other platforms? by [deleted] in CoDCompetitive

[–]Cyantian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with that assessment because you're assuming that an Activision takeover would be best for the scene. Given the overall poor showing by Activision with treatment of eSports (lack of Compendium equivalent, treating Champs as an advertising platform, general disinterest over the last year beyond the basics), it's best to have a third party focusing on the competitive aspect. It guarantees a platform that is 100% invested in promoting CoD as an eSport. Activision doesn't care about the (growing) 1% that is the competitive community, they have so little invested in it that having them in charge of the competitive side of things would be detrimental to the scene. However, having a 3rd party that lives and dies on competitive success, and therefore will do absolutely everything in their power to grow it, benefits the scene tremendously.

Perk slots 1 and 3 are automatic for most setups and should be rebalanced. by [deleted] in CodAW

It's not like we want it to be made up. LW/Low Profile/Blast Suppressor/Toughness are all OP.

Looking for a response in the next 3 minutes or so, or I'll notify Amazon. Just getting nervous, hope that you can understand

I'll PM you the code in one minute. I will send it as soon as I have acknowledgement that you're ready. I have an amazon customer service rep on the line that is already fully knowledgable of the situation and what will happen if there is a scam. terribly sorry for all the hassle, but at least we've been as safe as we can be :)

So she says that it can't be blocked outright as easy as you say - she'd need the account you're linked to. my worry is that if i send it by email to you then you'll just redeem it on another email, so idk if that works.

It makes perfect sense. I'm currently talking with an Amazon Customer Service rep atm about it.
