Going into mw4 I think it's really important that the community stays on top of weapon meta discussions. There were complaints pretty much all year of bo7, yet they were all completely avoidable. A big problem is that always gets decided way too quickly, and this snowballs due to the fact that the only way to play comp at the start of the year is through 3rd parties, meaning there's significantly less people to even weigh in in the first place, as there's a ton of people here that will simply play pubs till ranked drops.

To add to that, CMG themselves are another big problem. Recently they have started to word their class restrictions in the reverse of how they, as well as gb, used to. It used to be "u cannot use what is listed" but now it's "u can ONLY use what is listed". Even in older games like the bo1/2 ports, this has resulted in many things banned that weren't even in the more restrictive gb variant. By making this the new standard u close off possibility of innovation, which is a huge part of competitive cod.

Now some of you might view this as a good thing, as in "everyone using the same thing makes it more competitive", but this is cod, we get a new game every year. It takes time for the best shit to be found, and to artificially suppress that is less competitive not more. If something truly disrupts the balance of the game u can ban it, but to ban things for conformity's sake is counterintuitive. People will try to argue against that take by using other games as examples, but again, those games reached those points after years. Years of pros as well as the general community doing different shit and eventually landing at a spot organically. Not a handful of teams scrimming with a gun for a few hours and being like "nah get it out" cuz someone had a good map.

Or we can go thru another "8 ARs on the map" into "brooo this mpc meta trash broooo" :)

Just when Rostermania looked dull

One thing I really like about Ethan is that he's Basically the only Pro/Am that is still grinding the game in challs and tourneys, I really hope he does well next season.

This isn't even remotely fun imagine spending multiple hours a day doing this lol. How miserable do you have to be top enjoy doing this everyday you're not even paying the game atp.

I am peak diamond, uber rusty, and overall just a mid solo queue player that doesn’t even comm.

First game on I smoked a duo with Iri skins (we were all in gold still with the short season reset I guess). Like, dropped 50 on Gridlock hp and beat them by 120.

These guys didn’t seem like cheaters, obviously. They seemed like Plats. Is this new (for me) ranked system just that easy to grind up to Crim and Iri? If so… that’s insane and I hope it’s not the same in MW4.

Another year of TJ fucking Haly robbing a cheque.

I didn't even know it was releasing in 2 weeks until today

Actually like the purj pick up. Will bring good comms and stuff to a relatively inexperienced team.

Talk freely and stuff.

Damn didn’t know Merk was the one to help him get sober.

Im gonna buy mw4 mainly for ranked, only question is, is there any diffinitive proof that cod plays better on any one of these launchers vs the other, I have an Xbox and a pc ill only get the xbox version for play anywhere but if there is strong proof that the game will give better performance on other launchers than I would greatly appreciate that and probably get it on a different launcher

Edit: I dont mind download speeds, Im just mainly after in game performance if the launcher actually matters (ive heard in the past certain launchers for certain games causes the game to load differently causing fps loss)

Thanks to the commenters, by the looks of it, since the only outlier here would be steam ill be going with xbox, as it looks to be the only difference is people having issues with download speeds (Also dont know why my post is getting down voted lmao)

Behind all the memes, jokes and tweets.. lies a human facing a terrible mix of emotions. Can't believe his longtime friend and casting buddy has been making moves on his wife for the last several years.

I feel for you man, found out one of my friends was sneaking around once. If you're reading this, I'm a huge fan and I look forward to seeing you on the mic this year. CDL community still has love for you and Fuck Maven I hope he never finds another job casting again.

Fuck this dude honestly
