No it's not. I doubt it's truly the biggest, but it's DEFINITELY not the most competitive.
Have you people seen competitive Starcraft in Korea? Holy ****....

Nobody said it's not competitive, but I think it's very dubious to argue that it's the most competitive. Especially compared to something like Starcraft or Street Fighter.
Also the reason you have seen more cod competitions then any other game is because your not looking for anything but cod. I've seen hundreds of fighting game and rts tournaments, but I haven't seen one cod competition because I haven't been looking.

Honestly, I don't know how you could say one game is more competitive than another :/ unless it isn't head to head.
Squire, how do you define competitiveness of a game? Just curious why you would rank another game higher?

Well, this very convo was defining it by how many people were playing it and how serious they are about it, in which case I don't think there's any argument considering that Starcraft is a national sport in Korea.
I'm more talking about the competitiveness of the player base here, not the actual depth of the game.
You could ask me what I think makes one competitive game better then another, but that's an entirely different convo.

^ Post of the century. I dont care if someone truly likes CoD but the community as a whole seems to be completely blind to everything else and then come up with statements such as: It is the biggest and most competitive community.
Go to twitch.tv and what are the top 5 games being watched? LoL, StarCraft, DOTA, WoW, and Runescape. LoL has almost 55k people tuned in right now.

Just a random post here but CoD is more casual than anything. The majority of players are weekend warriors or people who only play a couple matches then log off. Look at the number of people playing League Play(which is designed for the competitive players) and you'll understand how the competitive side of CoD is probably less than 5% of the total players.
I'm pretty sure Fighter games and those MMOs have a LOT more players dedicating their lives to practicing strategies and learning new attacks/combos.

I guess I just assumed, because it is the most popular fps of all time... and FPS seems to be the hype now days

That's why I asked because I agree that the definition varies. I personally don't play cod that often, but when I play I play to win because I'm extremely competitive. I feel it's more about the individual than the game. For example, I've played many games that people would not consider competitive, but I simply competed with myself...beat my scores or my best times or whatever. So, it's the people more than the game. Also the reason you have seen more cod competitions then any other game is because your not looking for anything but cod.

Sorry LT but a statement like this is way too general. Crazy said that most cod players are weekend warriors, etc. and if that's the case then I highly doubt they are solely focused on cod. I know I'm certainly not.

in terms of video games and the cod community, no, I wouldn't say that's too much of a stretch. too many people only play cod and turn a blind eye to most everything else, especially on youtube.
it's the source for a lot of the complaints in the overall gaming community too because not only does it create a huge mass of low tier players that do occasionally migrate to other games, but it also causes bad developers to try and tailor their games/entire genres to that same crowd that only wants to focus on call of duty. but this is an entirely seperate topic
