These rules would make the game really boring. It wouldn't be fun in any way. Most of the reason I prefer MW2 to other FPS's is customizing kill streaks and making my class as beastly as possible.
These are the rules that the actual pros play MW2 by

This is exactly what it's like. I feel like if you take out the fun stuff, it's not fun (go figure, right?) and I really do play video games for the sole purpose of having fun. So no, I really would hate playing like this.
I could enjoy playing games like that sometimes.
It really pisses me off that they allow you to have shotguns as secondaries, especially when snipers are camping with them. Also, MW2 online isn't as great as the first one. I mean, OMFG killstreaks! Yeah!
But think of how useless most are up until 9 and 11. And by then you've ruined the game. In Cod4, I could never hit helicopters with RPGs on account of their mystical avoidance abilities, but here... everything goes down so easily with all the rockets if you take the time to shoot them and don't get spawn raped.

No One Man Army
No claymores
No C4
No secondary launchers
No blast shields
No tactical insertions
No riot shields
No secondary shotguns
Deathstreaks must be set to copycat in most PC leagues
No Fun
For serious, who is so deprived of a life that they would want to make all that up?
I understand no killstreaks, but everything else should be allowed. Although scavenger + claymores...
This. I mean seriously no bling? That isn't exactly a cheap perk. I use that one because I just like having more than one attachment. None of those are exactly cheap either. I mean seriously, Has one man army ever actually annoyed any one?Jonny49 said:
Edit: I mean seriously
NO ITEMS
FOX ONLY
FINAL DESTINATION
oh wait, which metagame are we talking about. Yeah, you know what it doesn't matter the attitude is always the same, not in it for fun, in it to win it, and to alienate everyone of a different perspective.

I really feel like some of you really don't understand the idea of sports. This is no different.
Um... Sigh, read your quote. You place it squarely at the players. These are your exact words: "Or are the players just not "pro" enough?"Contextualizer said:
You say nothing about a league, and then quote me as if that's what you were trying to say. If so, you certainly should have said it much better, right?
So...you can't have recreational exercise? Or non-physical sports like tournament chess? Really?Tdc2182 said:

I really dislike the term "professional gamer/gaming". It seems like a term slapped together to be pretentious, like "intellectual elite". The only way I can see anyone gaming "professionally" is if they get paid regularly to do it. And since I have yet to me a "professional gamer" who has received a cent for sitting on their ass playing video games just as much as you or I, I shall stick to that theory.
Another thing about "professional gamers". If they are so much better at it than anyone else, why must they constantly ban everything? I mean, sure I agree that the 1887 is overpowered and impractical, but if they weren't meant to be used, then why did the programmers include them and refuse to patch them out? Riot shields too: they are NOT that bad. If you are too stupid to figure out that you're not supposed to charge head-on into one, then maybe you have no business calling yourself a "professional".
Here, have some delicious CopyPasta:
I know the above stories have to do with SSB, but this generally applies to every competitive game that has this kind of userbase full of neckbeard tourneyfags and such. Hell, you see this on WoW with duels. "Rogue? No vanish!" "Pally? No heals or bubble!" "Lock? No fear!" These are abilities that make the class what it is. You take those out, and all you get are super nerfed warriors slamming on their Spacebar keys like it's an instant orgasm inducer.
When Street Fighter IV came out, most forums I frequented were full of "NERF ZANGIEF! HIS THROW IS OP!" And at least the people there had the sense to tell them "Look, just because you are too retarded to avoid a certain attack, doesn't mean the rest of the game should be dumbed down to your level." Games aren't public schools, people. They're not going to lower the standards just because someone refuses to use the block button or refuses to dash around a slow-moving riot shield or has completely shitty luck with getting a Pokeball or Smash Ball or whatever.
Fuck you. Let the rest of us enjoy our games.

Competitive Smash players suck. That's all there is to it.
They ban most of the stages because they suck. They suck at catching their opponents, so large stages are banned. They have to rely on cheating shit like chaingrabbing to be able to win, so stages with any kind of wall and walk-off edges are banned. They have no ability to dodge or use to their advantage the very telegraphed stage hazards, so any stages with them are banned. Which leaves them three or four stages with no variety, no strategy, and which imbalance the game even further because some characters don't play well on those stages.
They also can't handle the randomness of items. "A bomb could easily appear in front of me right when I attack!" So? An asteroid could have fallen on you and crushed you on your way to the tournament. Did it? No. "An item could appear right beside my opponent and give him the advantage!" It could also appear right next to you and give YOU the advantage. Or it could appear in the middle and the two of you would have to fight for it. You're skilled enough to do hoop-dee-whoop combos and wagga-dasheen around the stage, don't tell me you can't do something as simple as run to an item.

I was playing Brawl with a couple of campus res neighbors down the hall since I had nothing better to do. As soon as they turned on the game these two guys wouldn't stop complaining to the host about how much it sucks that he doesn't have Melee, and that they should just bring in a Gamecube sometime instead. I tuned them out.
I chose Captain Falcon, since I thought I was rather decent with him, and he's an awesome character in general. One of the two whiners just dropped his controller onto his lap and gave me a huge "What the fuck" look.
"Dude. Are you serious? Don't pick Captain Falcon, man."
"Why, what's wrong?"
"Don't be a scrub dude. Don't fucking pick Captain Falcon."
I almost choked on a laugh. I've heard about these so called "tourneyfags" on /v/, but I still had some doubt they actually existed outside of the Internet, much less the chance that I'll actually meet one. Curious, I decided to prode his limits a bit more. So I picked Metaknight instead.
"Uh, nope sorry dude. Metaknight's banned."
That was when the owner of the game pipes up.
"Wait what? What do you mean he's banned?"
"He's a fucking cheap character. It ruins the game, honestly. Don't play as Metaknight."
"Are you a fag? Just play the damned game, people can choose who they want. You're the one ruining the game."
The two of them then started arguing for real. Over a Wii game. The other whiner simply sat back and watched while the two of them mouth each other off. I was trying my hardest not to laugh throughout the whole thing, especially when I actually heard the terms "Hitstun" and "L-Canceling" being thrown out.
In the end I quelled the fighting by picking Ganondorf instead. The two whiners both picked Marth. The game owner picked Lucario. Long story short, I won. There was much rage. And I'm not allowed to play smash with the two anymore because I'm a "scrub" and a "newb".

Well come on, heartbeat sensor distracts so many people, I wonder why they use it, they spend more time looking at it then in front of them, so anyone with Ninja catches them COMPLETELY off guard. That's really the only reason I see them Banning Bling, to get rid of Heartbeat Sensor combos. . . One Man army does Perplex me.Contextualizer said:
