Another Gentleman\u2019s Agreement Made Between Professional Call of Duty Players Over New Burst Weapon As the Call of Duty: WWII CWL season continues with the CWL Pro League Stage Two this week, it looks like a major change has come into play at the professional level. In April, the new burst Assault Rifle (AR) in CoD: WWII was made available in the competitive ruleset, with developers seemingly keen that it be used in CWL play. They were aware that adding a new weapon \u2013 and one so powerful \u2013 could well cause issues to the balance of the game competitively, and se were open to feedback. And it didn\u2019t take long before a large majority of pro players were vocally against the weapon being used, claiming it was too powerful and gave a significant advantage to AR players. Regardless, many continued to practice and scrim while using the weapon, and so it was expected that it would still be in play come May 15th, the start of Stage Two of the Pro League, with Division A. However, the rumor now, and judging from the recent streamed practice of pro players, is that the weapon has become subject to a gentleman\u2019s agreement \u2013 where all Pro League teams agree upon not using it between themselves. In a recent stream including OpTic Gaming\u2019s Sam \u201cOctane\u201d Larew \u2013 who is a main AR player \u2013 he was seen using only alternatives. Further, the chat command response to \u2018!itra\u2019 is now \u201cThe ITRA has been GA\u2019d\u201d \u2013 so make of that what you will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
