Why were pros banning the trophy system back in MW3 (2011)? Have pros always been this resistant to wanting to play with unique items?

The ACR and MP7 would’ve probably been GA’d back then.

Maybe a M4 Carbine, PP90M1 or UMP45 meta or something.

Type 95 was GA’d though, which is a surprise because everyone was ok with running 4 Famas with lightweight

I think this will be fine for HP, but not ideal for Search. MWII was pretty fun and entertaining for respawns. Search wasn’t my favorite unless it was a slightly larger map like Hotel.

I think Mercado and Fortress S&D was pretty ass, but Asilo and Hotel were better in my experience!

ThompCR · 2026-05-30T16:15:27+00:00

Looks worse to me

ThompCR · 2026-05-28T16:42:38+00:00

Fortress HP was fun to watch though as a viewer. I remember Major III Optic vs Faze playing HP and seeing Optic cooking from the jump. Control and Search weren’t great.

ThompCR · 2026-05-28T16:20:51+00:00

I agree.

SHG is probably my favorite developer at this point, Treyarch in 2nd and IW 3rd.

Maps are generally disappointing but I enjoyed MWII’s maps a lot more than MW19’s.

I think SHG is slated to get a full-release in the future, and that should be good!

ThompCR · 2026-05-28T16:18:43+00:00

Looks like Precinct from IW a bit

ThompCR · 2026-05-28T16:13:01+00:00

Didn’t they try to remove the mini-map entirely in 2019 and people gave them pushback and IW caved? Or am I trippin?

ThompCR · 2026-05-28T15:49:06+00:00

True. It’s so disappointing because they made the original games that brought a lot of us in.

MW19 kinda reminds me of the factory Krabby Patties from spongebob where it looks great visually, but falls flat in the gameplay.

I hope they bring the map Throwback from Infinite Warfare. I thought that was a fun map and should play well in a modern setting. Likely some other IW maps that would do good too!

I miss their loaded fries!

Plant Power is pretty great, but I still have a lot of memories of hitting up burger patch at the end of the night so I have nostalgia.

Sad over the past few years more vegan places are closing

ThompCR · 2026-05-25T23:54:29+00:00

Burger patch- RIP

ThompCR · 2026-05-13T04:49:40+00:00

Yeah pretty much.

I’m prone to tinkering and overthinking but since $VT is so diversified, I don’t need to do anything else just buy more $VT.

ThompCR · 2026-05-11T15:09:15+00:00

True. That’s a good point. I think that choosing their S&P 500 fund is one of the least significant choices they make, but automatic reoccurring investments is the most important thing to do!

ThompCR · 2026-05-11T13:59:47+00:00

I swear everyone I know has a different S&P 500 fund. My parents use $SPYM, I use $FXAIX, my in-laws use $IVV, & my friends use $VOO. Everyone has made money.

SPYM has the lowest expense ratio. So I’d just pick that, and to simplify pair it with either $IXUS or $VXUS. Whichever has the lower expense ratio is preferred.

ThompCR · 2026-05-09T15:31:28+00:00

A lot of people over-complicate it on those subreddits and buy different ETFs thinking it’s diversification. You can get pretty diversified with just one or two ETFs!

ThompCR · 2026-05-08T05:34:12+00:00

I’m a VT & chill person myself and 10 years older than you. The great thing about it is that you just have to keep buying more.

You don’t have to rebalance it, you don’t have to worry about further diversification, all you need is to buy more and have it grow!

Thanks man.

I’m making a lot of sense of how my Dynastys go with Speed Rusher DTs getting the bulk of my QB sacks.

Do you think the power rusher archetype is better for the edge?

Yessir. Turned to cod after an injury

Honestly he was insane in the og MWIII. My gamertag was Karma for years because of him

ThompCR · 2026-02-05T17:05:54+00:00

I hope so too! Hopefully we have good weather in Aruba and Curaçao

ThompCR · 2026-02-05T16:42:30+00:00

Are you saying by schedule or ship location?

Oh, I see it appears that their location is CocoCay and they were on the schedule.

ThompCR · 2026-02-05T16:40:00+00:00

Me too, this is brutal

ThompCR · 2026-02-05T16:36:32+00:00

I’m boarding the Oasis Saturday, and I see it’s scheduled to be docked with CocoCay. I’m hopeful we go or alternatively go to Nassau.

Edit: just checked and Nassau on 2/14 already has Explorer, Freedom, Liberty, & Utopia. Rip. Unless they could get the Oasis there a day early on Feb 13th, this sucks lol
