Honestly I could care less about who has the largest competitive gaming community.. I just hate how DG always takes shots at cod because it's too mainstream for him.

Everyone kind of went off on my comment when really I just said it make DG upset. I think we should be arguing about what this topic was really made about. DG saying Cod is the worst community is a joke... he showed a rage compilation, that proves little to nothing.


Going online and hearing everyone just swear at each other proves something. Going on YT and finding tons of people who just play CoD and don't even know about huge, awesome games like The Last of Us says something. Tons of CoD players are blind.

It being mainstream has nothing to do with anything. I love mainstream things. People are silly. I barely play indie games. That says basically the opposite of what you just accused me of.  Roll Eyes

Same with mine craft, league of legends and WoW... It's not just cod... And cod is definitely not the worst..


And yes it seems every game that gets too popular, you have a problem with it.. Cod, assassins creed and gta are a few I can think of right now.

"So I do get pretty down on people that - you see some of the indie developers that really take a snooty attitude about this. It's almost as if it's popular, it's not good. And that's just not true."

He references developers, but obviously that has rubbed off on gamers as well....

And this is probably the article Oce was talking about. He makes a good point:

CoD and ACreed just aren't that good anymore, and they just keep getting re hashed. Nothing to do with popularity. With GTA I just don't see what many others see that's so interesting. Oh well. GTA V will be fun I'm sure.

There are tons of other mainstream games that I love. That is not a factor whatsoever as to whether or not I like a game. I love God of War, Uncharted, Fallout, Borderlands, Elder Scrolls, Metal Gear, etc. etc. etc.  Huh? I like Bioshock, Dead Space, Far Cry, etc. etc. etc.

Couldn't help but throw this out there considering this thread is still fairly recent:

http://news.ca.msn.com/top-stories/video-game-rage-violent-imagery-isnt-the-trigger-researchers-say

"While rage stemming from video games is common, there are different theories about what triggers it. Some suggest it's the violent images in the games, but a 2011 study conducted by researchers at Brock University indicated that the most influential factor in video game rage is the level of competition involved. "

"Adachi concluded that people who played highly competitive games behaved more aggressively than those who played the less competitive games. "

And according to DG, most ragers are CoD players  Undecided Apply a little deductive reasoning and.....

I consider BEING competitive and PLAYING competitive as two different things though. Being competitive might be as simple as just wanting to outscore your friend. Or trying to go on a win streak with your friends. Or even maintaining a K/D, W/L, or SPM.

Playing Competitive on the other hand means dedicating time, skill, and practice/strategies/callouts to win money against other teams doing the very same. And in this definition, I consider fighter games and MMO's to be a higher competitive level than CoD because there's a much higher player base dedicating their lives to perfecting the game/combos.

The problem with CoD is, everyone you face in pub games thinks they're the absolute best at it so they talk **** to anyone and everyone, even if they're not good. If they have a high K/D but face someone higher than them, they will either play and dashboard if they're losing or having a bad game, or they will back and out of the lobby before the game and look for noobs. That to me isn't PLAYING Competitive and it's simply people putting too much into their imaginary stats that they didn't really earn.

It's a huge community, so there are definitely some people in pubs that act the way you say. That doesn't change the competitive play of others though.

Basically what I was pointing out is the relationship between rage and competitiveness of the players. DG said it was disgusting that these CoD players were raging and taunting, etc. I posted the article to show that competitiveness encourages that behavior, so his analysis of the players was off base, which I contended all along. This just backs my stance and shows that DG was merely trying to attack the CoD community, game, and players.
