Dude I didnt play competitive cod4 for the same reason. I can understand them removing things like martyrdom, triple frags, and rifle mounted nade launchers. Or maybe even removing the auto snipers.
But to limit the game to essentially 2/3 weapons is kinda pathetic. Personally it just goes to show ‘pros’ are never happy until they can guarentee they have exactly the same shit as another person, this is how they show how skilled they are I guess. Personally I feel it shows far more skill to out wit and out play your opponent by adapting to their weapon, playstyle etc.

Also I believe the lack off crosshair is to discourage hip firing as its not quite as inaccurate as its made out to be. I personally prefer the ironsights to most of the attachments anyway so nocrosshair isnt a problem for me :P
The reason for the game modes is probably due to time on each mode, ease of play and which is the most popular. 5CP is the most popular mode on tf2 but its in no way the fastest.

Anyway TLDR – CoD games are basically aim only games, where strategy and tatics come second and outplaying another person comes down to who saw the other first.
This comes from someone who thinks the MW series is awesome, but I refuse to play beyond public due to ‘pro’ mentality which ruins any variety in games.

ps. TF2 seems to be a sort of exception hence why I try and play it competitively :D

how could anyone play competitive mw2 at this stage…
seriously I’ve been playing the game for weeks and I cant imagine it played seriously: there is NO BALANCE between most of the tools and there are some GAMEBREAKING BUGS not fixed yet (care package + marathon + commando)
