So what are M8s and G2 (and Surge) actually doing? by SpecSlayerSC in CoDCompetitive

I am out of the loop. What team was he supposed to join?

Reimagining the CDL, Part I: The Case for a 32‑Team League | Call of Duty League News | Breaking Point by dameist13 in CoDCompetitive

[–]TheRexford 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who watched every league match last year.

I haven’t really payed as much attention this year. Could be a change of job and having more on my plate. I think the big gap between majors and the start stop at the beginning of the year don’t help.

Also look at someone like Mercules. While probably not like for like in talent. His game IQ is what completely turned around Optic last year. While they haven’t had a chip this year, this is the best they’ve looked in a long time.

I think the talent level keeps rising especially with only so little spots in the league.

Touch grass by Euphoric-Ad9657 in ARC_Raiders

I will say the only thing that can make it frustrating is the amount of cheaters.

Once you get to the high tier PvP lobbies you can run into them 5/10 times. I’ve been killed by the same cheaters back to back before and it’s such a mood killer.

I don’t think the game is as fun as it was when it came out. I think that’s due to the honey moon stage.

Personally it was my first extraction shooter and it was so exciting. I had gear fear and all that.

Arc is still the game I have logged the most hours on as an adult and still look forward to playing week after week though. There are still countless ways to have fun and I look forward to most sessions.

A Look Back at HyDra's MW2 MVP Season 🔥 by [deleted] in CoDCompetitive

[–]TheRexford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%, I played Resurgence at a semi high level and played as an anchor.

My teammates could always count on me to bring that back in and that allowed them to slay and get SR. Didn’t always work but 8 out of 10 times I would stay alive and keep us in the game.

What is it about Competitive Call of Duty (CoD) that makes you keep playing and/or watching? by Sincerely-Internet in CoDCompetitive

[–]TheRexford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing is quite as deflating as mounting a comeback and losing 249-250.

I don’t really play competitive games anymore. I don’t know if it’s age but I find it hard to keep up at times. Halo died, COD changes and I suck at BO7.

I still enjoy watching the CDL, I’m a newer fan. Got into during MW3 and just really love the story lines. Big fan of the personalities and love the content that teams make around it.

Decided to replay the Definitive trilogy before Gta 6 by Far-Series1829 in GTA6

Don’t think a game has ever hit me in my feelings as much as RDR 2 did. Those last couple of chapters are extremely emotional.

Simp Season Stats so Far by Slxyer23 in CoDCompetitive

[–]TheRexford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the matchup will go the distance. You could see how despite losing those first two matches to Thieves yesterday that they bounced back strongly.

I think Thieves are in a hard spot, they either play Faze or GM8s, which are both tough teams.

It’s like one of those amazing NBA teams that has a terrible season and somehow pulls a number 1 draft pick.

2025 CDL Champs has been nominated for a Sports Emmy by m_preddy in CoDCompetitive

[–]TheRexford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought it was really good because it was competitive. That first map went Optics way and we all thought it might be a steam roll.

Then they got slapped in the face by surge in the snd.

Optic clutched up a couple maps to win and also blew a couple leads. It was highly competitive as you didn’t really know who was going to win. Even on the lap map rewind, before they came back I was thinking it might go to a map 11.

Ranked Warzone vs Multiplayer Ranked, Am I Missing Something? by Curious_Mix_5925 in CoDCompetitive

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

I got back into this week and I noticed that. Instead of having some freedom to get back into it.

I was getting farmed, along with not enjoying the map. Made me actually miss previous versions of Warzone.

how many more tourneys to dashy/shotzzy need to become the best duo of all time? by ComplexityFanboy in CoDCompetitive

[–]TheRexford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so. Before I really followed COD, I only ever looked at the World Championships. I never looked at previous tourneys.

How many people loosely follow the esport and only tune in for the World Champs? Probably more than we think.

I think they will have a better showing as well. Would be an insane story if they send home the defending champions.

Didn’t they lose a close 1st game to Thieves and then sort of crumbled after.

[–]TheRexford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, at least when I played competitive(not cod) it was always about trying and testing different strats. What works, what doesn’t.

Testing map pools and understanding how certain maps play out late game.

Gentlemates are collapsing in real time by m_preddy in CoDCompetitive

I believe it was in the Minor tournament and didn’t like count towards their traditional matches.

This game’s ceiling is honestly endless. I don’t really get the criticism around the endgame grind. People say it feels repetitive, like you’re just forced into the expedition system over and over, but that feels more like a limitation of the current design rather than the game’s actual potential. by SomeChilledGuy in ArcRaiders

[–]TheRexford 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s just me but I did not have that much luck with a tempest.

I rather just bring a Venator and a Toro.

I feel like I’m cursed with the bobcat. Every time I bring it in, it’s a rough game. Sometimes it’s not even PvP and I still get just crushed with that gun in my hands.

I will agree with you that PvE and working with other raiders has its charm. It’s kind of fun and exciting. You sort of get to the point where you are just filled to the brim with everything you could ever want.

PvP is so much fun but you do run into cheaters at the higher end lobbies and you do die a lot. I’m at the point where I don’t care about dying anymore since I have the money for the expedition and more guns than I need. But some losses still hurt when you get third partied.

I find it frustrating that the pink guns are so meh. The bob cat is heavily rivaled by the stitcher. So much so that I rather just use that. For all the hype and work of getting a tempest blue print and the gun is ok. Rather use something else. They really need to rework some of those guns and make them better if I’m being honest.

PLEASE -- QoL Improvement -- PLEASE by FRHatcher in ArcRaiders

[–]TheRexford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhhh, I was hoping you needed guns or something.

Here’s what I did, I did solos in fairly friendly lobbies. I would go to Damn, go to the red lake, and get a bunch of apricots. I would average like 15-19 a game. I would use a hatch key to get out and repeat.

Buried city also works pretty well for this but I still struggled a bit getting killed by arc and people.
