These are the rules that the actual pros play MW2 by

[teisjm]

If you play by a very specific rules set (and not the games actual rules set = it's in the game, go for it) then you're playing vs a very very small player base. That mnakes it pretty easy to be "pro"
I mean, i guess i'm uber bro at SSBB, cause i ebat everyone i play with under my specific rules set.
The rules set is, you have to be in my appartment cause the online sucks, so that leaves only my bro and the few of my friends who cares to play the game, and i can kick all their asses.

Also, selfproclaimed pro's are bullshit. while the ord pro would imply that you play professionally, it's basicly lost it's meaning, and now it just means "if i had to say so myself i would say i'm very good"

Also, even if you won a few $$$ at a tournament at some LAN party, you're not actual pro. You're pro when you can make a living off of gaming, and tourney/sponsor money is your primary source of income.

I could be meta-pro now, if i cared to buy a decent lab-top. Not cause i'm seriously good at a ny online games, but because i could play the majority of the time i spend on job. I don't do very much on my job, i just sit around and wait for stuff to happen, and stuff happens very rarely. One of my co-workers raids on his lab-top at work.
I think he makes more money while gaming than most self-proclaimed "pro's", even though it's not because of his gaming he makes those money.

Posted on Reddit [http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/amxjm/im_going_to_the_international_gamestop_10k_finals/c0iebyo?context=1] by someone who plays MW2 professionally:

Perks:
No Bling
No One Man Army

Equipment:
No grenade launchers
No claymores
No C4
No secondary launchers
No blast shields
No tactical insertions
No riot shields
No secondary shotguns

Rules:
No killstreaks
Deathstreaks must be set to copycat in most PC leagues

What do you guys think? Are these rules you happen to play by as well? Would you mind playing by/want to play with them? I follow everything except for tactical insertion. And I use a Stinger in one class, but that's not really an issue if there are no killstreaks.

Personally, I would love to be able to play like that, even without the killstreaks and tactical insertions. Shame it's not possible on MW2

Good rules. That way you won't have to think about what the other team is doing, they'll be using the one set of weapons you didn't ban.


No seriously. Why do you even play this game if your going to ban half the stuff. Or are you only playing this game coz its "the next big thing". Should just play AA3, that way you won't have to ban all the weapons they DON'T have.

Anyone who calls them self 'pro', is not pro.

Lol @ all the people dissing competitive gaming.

You play to have fun. Yes, we get that. Some people play basketball for fun too. Do they make fun of NBA players for being good and joining a league with a static set of rules? Only if they're morons. Same deal with gaming. YOU don't like taking out all the random factors to make the playing field as even as possible, but OTHER people do. Get over it.

Personally I prefer pro rule sets because it makes the game less frustratingly random, which to me is more fun than "Oh good, he got an AC-130 out of a care package so now we lose.".

Yeah, this guy plays by a set of rules and artificial limitations and against a very small player base. How hard could it be to be pro?


Anyway, read the source. This isn't just some LAN party for pubbers.

Again, I'm not sure why there is such a strong reaction to the competitive gaming community. I don't care about them at all. What they do or don't do has no effect on what I enjoy; the only reason I made this thread is because I thought the set of rules was interesting and that no one's ever talked about them. Why does it matter so much to some of you how some people play the game?

Wait, wait, wait...Is it possible that some people enjoy things differently than you? Really?

Setting stupid limitations on your gameplay doesn't prove anything, other than what a dumb sheep you are.

Because the only stupid limitations that should be set are the ones by the developer.

And of course, they're always right. [http://www.modernwarfail2.com/]

I have no problem with people who play a diff rule set, I DO however have a problem when they go around showboating because of it. I am sorry, but like I said, if you are sooooo skilled it shouldn't matter what pokemon the other person gets, what perk they have, or w/e you SHOULD be able to work around, being skilled means you can adapt and overcome any challenge you come up against. I hate Noob tubes, ya know what I do??? I made a class with a Blast Shield for any game with excessive noobtubers.

I can't play basketball, so lets take away the 10FT high hoops, lets make them 2ft high. I can't handle so many guys on the field, lets make it 2. I don't like dribbling so lets let everyone pick up and hold. OH HEY because I'm 6ft Tall I can actually do well like this vs a majority. I win so therefore I AM THE SHIZNIGH. NO OEN ELSE COMPARES TO MY AWESOME NBL status.

Who is showboating? Who exactly is showboating?

The person in question was extremely humble, respectful, and laidback throughout that gigantic thread, which is a lot more than I can say for a lot of the people who apparently have had their lives ruined by competitive gaming here.

Some of you are perceiving an attack against your preferences that doesn't exist. Does anyone understand that?

When you think dedicating a class against an unbalanced game mechanic makes the game mechanic not unbalanced, then you're doing it wrong.

Plenty of servers in many games have limitations towards spawn camping, attacking certain bases (BF2/Crysis Wars), certain weapons (sniper only or pistol/knife only servers), or certain vehicles (Crysis Wars). But I guess if you've never known the beauty of dedicated servers, you just think you have to accept all the griefing, exploits, and game breaks.

And that's sad

 

[TimeLord]

That kinda takes the fun out of the game. I don't play by those rules and probably never will.

[sup]And I love getting claymore kills.[/sup]

Very true, I love getting Grenade Launcher kills

 

[Contextualizer]

Tournyfags take the fun out of all games.

You do realise they can't force theses rules on you and will only use them amongst themselves. Your basically hating on someone for how they choose to play a game, where it has no affect on you you may as well be saying people that try to play single player campaign without guns ruin that for you.

Yeah, I think it's funny that people are saying the pros who play with these rules obviously do so because they die so much from all the restricted weapons/perks/whatever.

That's not true at all.

If you and your spammy grenade launcher went up against any of them (at that particular caliber), you would die. Over and over and over and over and over again.

These rules and restrictions have nothing to do with making the game easier. They actually make the game much, much, much harder.

You've got it wrong, give it a week and you'll never go back to items, way more fun without. As for ONLY playing on final destination only pretentious scrubs who -think- they're good say that. Battlefield is the great equalizer, not FD, and there are tons of stages tourney legal.

 

[DJ Lord Destructocon]

fuck look down

 

[Asehujiko]

MW2 professional

Paradox much?

 

[DJ Lord Destructocon]

This is like only playing on Final Destination with no items on SSBB...boring and only for the tourney tards.

Seriously? The only people who think that are pretentious scrubs who -think- they're good because they can beat thier little brother.

Give it a week and you'll never go back to items, way more fun without.
All tournies have an entire mess of stages legal.

I would still be playing MW2 right now if this was the way it was played.

I hate the killstreaks and pretty much everything they mention in that list. I'm ok with bling though, I wonder why they ban that?

 

[Antiparticle]

Wow, all those restrictions and they still forgot the one rule which would make MW2 fun to play: "no camping".

 

[Hellz_Barz]

how many rules are their on a real battlefeild? lets see:
dont kill civilians or someone whose surrendered
and umm... thats it.

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

Well, they really don't need to. No one that's good camps often.

Many of these banned things (Kill Streaks, Claymores, Tac Insertion, One Man Army) are the primary reasons camping is so prevalent in PubScrub matches. How often do you see people sitting in a building with Scavenger and Claymores to build up a streak? A whole fuckin' lot.

 

[Backup Bruv]

well as a pro player, im hoping everyone has heard of promod, that is what is used to play cod4, in pro tourneys, due to the fact that dedis arent avaiblable YET, there is no proper PRO version or set of ruls, seeing as real pro tourneys disallow ANY perks, sight enhancements, LMGS, and semi auto snipers, just wait a while until the dedi servers come out and a new promod will be created, they will be the officail rules for PRO tourneys, and dont give me what iof we play console, theres no such thing as a pro cicuit for console games, except for of course halo 3.
