Multi_PlatForm "lol"Pro"lol" Gamer Nadeshot Calls Ghosts The “Worst Call of Duty in the Franchise”

This was so much lol and so little bacon.
“There is just a lot of things they did wrong,” pro gamer/pro breather/pro dog walker/pro water drinker/pro shower taker/pro microwave water boiler/ pro light turner-oner, Matt “Nadeshot” Haag of OpTic Camping says about Infinity Ward’s latest launch, Call of Duty: Ghosts.
With Call of Duty’s second global $1 million championship late last month, it’s clear that publisher Activision is hoping to gain momentum in the competitive scene and win the approval of its most hardcore audience: pro gamers just like Nadeshot.
So what does he think about Infinity Ward’s follow up to Treyarch’s effort last year with Call of Duty: Black Ops 2?
“Call of Duty Ghosts is the worst Call of Duty in the franchise. There is just a lot of things they did wrong,” he recently told Redbull in an interview following the tournament. “They’re stubborn about it. They’ve gradually come out with changes that have improved things, but collectively everyone realizes that this is a game that doesn’t have a lot of longevity. The skill gap is very low. It’s just the way it is.
“When you change developers every year, you don’t know what direction they’re going to take the game. It just so happens that the direction they took it wasn’t ideal for the competitive community. It sounds harsh, but if more pro players were more outspoken about it and collectively gave feedback to the developers to make those improvements, the CoD process would be more smooth.”
When asked about his outlook on newcomer Sledgehammer Games leading the charge with this year’s Call of Duty, rumored to be an entry in the Modern Warfare series, Nadeshot adopted a more positive stance.
“A lot of Sledgehammer’s staff has openly showed their support for the competitive community on social media,” he said. “I’ve seen pictures of them watching tournaments from their war room. So their staff seems to be behind it. A lot of people from Sledgehammer came out to the CoD Championship last year and that’s before anyone knew they were making the next one.”
He doesn’t seem worried because, ”Not to be harsh, but it can only get better from here just because this one was done so poorly.”
He goes on to admit that not everyone might share the same hopes for competitive Call of Duty as he and fellow pro gamers dream of, but he certainly hopes for a better effort from this year’s Call of Duty in the eSports space.
“I realize that the competitive community is a small percentage of the casual demographic, but if Activision is hosting a $1 million tournament every year and putting their game on a gigantic championship, I don’t see how such small features are passed up. They just didn’t put in the extra effort,” he explained.
“Usually I’m not vocal on Twitter but I have been this time because they took the wrong direction. I’m just happy that they’re going to three developers now because we can maybe not deal with Infinity Ward every other year.”

the whining from "pro gamers" never ends
I don't think ghosts is the worst, but there's some characteristics that turn me off to the game (besides the community)

What they win doesn't matter to me. When they eventually get past their prime the only thing they'll have on a resume is a K/D.

Bots don't camp. Walk hacks and aim bot wasn't as bad as a human dumbing the game down to tard ability.
They should have the tourny outdoor. None of them could sit in sun 30 minutes.

There's a lot of people with money that are fundamentally useless (bieber, Cyrus, et. al)
Don't confuse someone's ability to sponsor a piece of garbage tournament like COD, with actual value
Worst community ever, biggest bunch of whiny "pros" ever

People making money off COD is the biggest harbinger of societal collapse that can ever happen, besides an actual societal collapse

You have all these guys that aspire to be pro gamers, rather than actually go work. Hard wok used to be a staple in this country. Now it's sit on your ass and get handed money. Like I said,mwhen these guys ability runs out to play a video at this level runs out, what's the most they can do? Commentate a CoD competition?

#59347While I'll never aspire to be a pro gamer and I have a full time job, not gonna hate on people doing something they love and making money at it. Sit on your ass and get handed money though? These guys take this as serious as a job and put as many (if not more) than some full time workers and that takes some dedication.
Just actually read recent study which said "The U.S. is also above the OECD average of 32 nations, coming at No. 9, with 1,797 hours worked on average each year"

I was implying that our country has become a bunch of ass-sitters getting handed money, not these guys.
