CoD pros want serious changes after Halo Infinite esports starts with a bang Activision\/343 IndustriesOn November 21, the first-ever Halo Infinite online tournaments rounded out with some incredible action across all regions \u2014 and top Call of Duty pros and personalities were struck by the success of it. Call of Duty was almost like a spiritual successor to Halo, taking over as the premier console esport and the birthplace of many CoD stars\u2019 careers. With the hype around Infinite, though, and the first event proving a success, much of the CoD community were left a little underwhelmed at the thought of the future of the Call of Duty League. With fans, players, and top personalities alike all tuning in to the Halo Infinite open tournament, there was an air of excitement around the game. CoD players loving Halo Infinite Throughout and following the final matches of the tournament, a number of top CoD names were clearly loving the action. 100 Thieves founder, and former CoD pro, Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag was one of the first to comment, saying that Halo\u2019s re-entry into esports \u201chas been nothing short of incredible,\u201d commending the game\u2019s \u201cbalanced maps, ranked play and a multi-million dollar tournament circuit.\u201d What a statement from Halo. Their re-entry into esports has been nothing short of incredible. Balanced maps, ranked play and a multi-million dollar tournament circuit out of the gate two weeks after release. Bravo @Halo. And congratulations @OpTic on the first \ud83c\udfc6 \u2014 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) November 22, 2021 OpTic Warzone streamer and CoD world champion Tyler \u2018TeeP\u2019 Polchow also bigged up Halo after the tournament, with a slight jab at rival games, saying that it\u2019s \u201cso refreshing to play a balanced game.\u201d Took a day off and I just want to play more halo, I\u2019m addicted. Then that final was nuts and made it worse. Those people are doin things right. So refreshing to play a balanced game. Way less cheese. Congrats to the #OpTicHalo boys they nasty \u2014 TeeP (@TylerTeeP) November 22, 2021 CoD pros frustrated after Halo Infinite tournament While there was heaps of praise being mounted on Halo and the esport, some found themselves considering what CoD looks like currently in comparison \u2014 and where it could be going. FaZe Clan\u2019s Thomas \u2018ZooMaa\u2019 Paparatto simply tagged Vanguard developer Sledgehammer Games in a tweet saying \u201cwe gotta talk.\u201d Chris \u2018Parasite\u2019 Duarte was a lot more forthright with his thoughts while the grand final went on. \u201cWatching comp CoD die is like watching half of my life literally vanish into thin air,\u201d he said, listing the issues he believes to be facing Call of Duty and the CDL. Watching comp CoD die is like watching half of my life literally vanish into thin air. No 12th league spot. Competitive CoD being back burned every year. Warzone ruining CoD by design by introducing noob mechanics. The state of ATVI\/Blizzard. Franchising the list goes on and on. \u2014 Chris (@Parasite) November 22, 2021 LA Thieves\u2019 Sam \u2018Octane\u2019 Larew wrote a message that was a little more relatable to CoD fans, saying that \u201cCOD needs a kick in the a*s because we\u2019re down 5-0 in a 1v4.\u201d My timeline has been exclusively Halo since Infinite dropped. COD needs a kick in the ass because we\u2019re down 5-0 in a 1v4. \u2014 Sam \u201cOctane\u201d Larew (@OctaneSam) November 22, 2021 While it\u2019s still very early days for Halo Infinite, we saw multiple current and former pros enjoy competing in the tournament, including the likes of Karma, Clayster, Dqvee, and more. Whether it becomes a real challenger to CoD\u2019s dominance of the console esports scene remains to be seen but, in the early days of Infinite\u2019s lifespan, it\u2019s definitely got some CoD players thinking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
