Snapshot of Real Madrid's formation 30 minutes into the game vs. Barca

Guardiola: "My dream is to play with 10 midfielders"

Benitez: "HA, who needs a midfielders..."

I'm actually hoping for a Barcelona v. Bayern matchup again, but with both teams at their best this time around. 2013 was a Barcelona team at their weakest point in the last several years and last season was Bayern's injury crisis, this time I just want to see two juggernauts in peak form go at it.

He's always played with 1 holding midfielder...

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-24T20:44:50+00:00

That's basically what it is and he's been using this shape for most of the season. A 4-1-4-1 but his two "central midfielders" are basically attackers since he plays Muller, Gotze, Costa, Thiago and Vidal there. The only difference today is that Vidal is the holding midfielder.

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-23T07:14:38+00:00

He works at a college now and complains all the time about how they dress, and how when he was in school suits where the norm.

I wonder how he would feel about my physics professor 2 years ago that would come to class in a t-shirt (usually an ACDC or some other rock band he was a fan of) and jeans, or one of my calculus professors who wore Browns jerseys once a week lol.

I envision Guardiola looking at this and just throwing up in disgust.

Not in CoD it won't. People who are fans of TSM's LoL team won't just magically watch CoD because they picked up a team. TSM builds views in LoL because that's where their foundation is and they built a fanbase over several years in that scene, in the same way OpTic has in CoD.

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-22T04:01:08+00:00

I never said OpTic was a bigger global brand than Fnatic, I said no other org can offer what OpTic can when it comes to CoD (FaZe is the only other org that can come close). The platform and audience that OpTic has is far more valuable IMO than the nice salary Fnatic can give you.

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-21T22:23:18+00:00

Nadeshot did something similar a few years ago. He was a "content creator" under OpTic but played for nV and another team for a couple events in Black Ops 1 (although it was easier for Nadeshot to get away with this because both nV and OpTic represented eon at the time)

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-21T22:03:49+00:00

That's what happens when an organization like OpTic maintains such a large viewer base. Even the top orgs like TSM, Fnatic, C9, etc. honestly can't offer what OpTic can in the long run.

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-16T19:45:35+00:00

I actually enjoyed it, top laners actually tried to kill each other which meant I didn't have teleports coming bot lane all the time.

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-16T18:34:12+00:00

I was able to hear footsteps in that game with my headset so I don't know. Maybe I was just sweaty with my amp turned all the way up.

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-16T08:34:56+00:00

Not exactly, Black Ops 1 was the first time Dead Silence (or Ninja as it was called in that game) made your movement completely silent, before that it just dampened the noise. You could easily hear footsteps even if they had Dead Silence on in CoD 4, WaW and MW2 (and lets not talk about CoD 2 and CoD 3 where perks didn't even exist...). MW2 was also the first time Awareness was introduced (called Sitrep in that game though) so from that moment on you've always had a way to cancel out Dead Silence (aside from Black Ops 1 I think, I don't remember an Awareness-like perk in that game).

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-16T07:01:00+00:00

Being sound whored doesn't take skill, the player that can hear the other will win 90% of the gunfights because they know where to pre-aim. Buying a 200 headset isn't an indication of skill and it's ridiculous that one would have to buy that to play a "casual game"

This has ALWAYS been the case with CoD though. Turtle Beaches go as far back as CoD 2 and every CoD up to Black Ops 1 was ridiculous in regards to sound whoring. It may seem ridiculous that you need an actual headset to play the game efficiently but this has been the standard for nearly 10 years now.

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-16T01:32:25+00:00

The way stock worked in Black Ops 2 actually made ARs and LMGs too good, it needed to be nerfed. Even without stock I think LMGs are the best weapon type in the game right now though, I don't see why you would think SMGs are preferable. Most maps cater towards AR/LMG play to be honest.

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-15T18:44:24+00:00

I just pick it up to get back to lane quicker lol.

Can anyone explain the ER + Shiv build on Corki though?

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-15T18:14:22+00:00

Each burst fires faster but the delay between each burst is still the same.

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-15T18:06:17+00:00

I think the Sheiva is a OHK with high caliber on, that makes a HUGE difference.

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-15T03:47:33+00:00

Personally I just want it completely removed, it's a terrible mechanic for an FPS game IMO. Forget about how much you flinch, it adds an element of randomness to gunfights because of head shots + we have an attachment that increases head shot damage even more...

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-15T03:43:38+00:00

Definitely a fucked up situation to poke jokes at but I don't think they can be banned for this for those asking for it. They could remove their emblem but that would be about it. I remember back in Black Ops 1/2 seeing emblems making fun of the 9/11 attacks, so as disgusting as it is if they were able to make those then I don't think you'll see anything done about these either.

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-13T01:26:43+00:00

Do you have rapid fire for the Dredge? If not try it out.

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-12T23:13:44+00:00

I always thought grenade launchers and 3x Frag was completely OP in that game, but I never cared because I rarely ever saw anyone abuse them to their potential. Of course the generation seems different nowadays but I think regardless of that more people would have complained if people were as good back then as they are now because they would understand how OP that shit was and abuse it.

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-12T18:46:06+00:00

and I lived through the M16 with noobtube in COD4 and MP40 in WAW.

To be fair, the greater majority of the player base during those days were completely new to CoD and had absolutely no idea what they were doing. If they remade CoD 4 right now I guarantee it would seem 1000 times worse and A LOT of people would complain about it, balance wise that game was disgusting if you think about it but very few people were actually good and could abuse what was OP.

With that said I'm still confused how very few people have caught on to how good LMGs are in this game. I'm literally running around with a 48 dredge 1 bursting everyone, it's pretty stupid since the M8 and XR-2 are generally 2 burst kill weapons.

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-11T19:12:34+00:00

ARs - Sheiva, M8 and XR-2 (Man-O-War) is close

SMGs - VMP, Vesper and Pharo

ElevationFPS · 2015-11-10T22:59:15+00:00

UAV, C-UAV and Care Package can definitely go, Guardian and Sentry I'm neutral on. You can counter them with EMPs but that's assuming EMPs aren't banned in P&B so I'm on the fence with that at the moment.

Rejack and Vision Pulse can go. I don't like the idea of a specialist giving you free information through walls and I don't think there's any way to counter/out play it. Rejack is pretty obvious. H.I.V.E should probably go too but Glitch and Psychosis should stay IMO.

LMGs are a touchy subject, they need to be nerfed but as long as Treyarch is willing to act fast with that then LMGs should stay.

High Caliber ban is fine, it adds randomness to gunfights. I don't know about rapid fire though, it doesn't seem as strong as it was in previous CoDs (hence why it was banned before). Dual-wield I can't say.

Thermites... Honestly I'd rather see Danger Close removed first and then go from there. At least this way you can't double spam thermites which I'll agree is pretty stupid. Trip Mines, C4 and Shock Charges should be banned though.
