Scump explains why Vanguard will be the best competitive CoD in years YouTube: Scump \/ ActivisionSeth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner not only \u201cloved\u201d his time in the CoD Vanguard Beta for its \u201cfast-paced\u201d public matches, but the OpTic Gaming superstar is more than confident it\u2019ll be a \u201cgood competitive game\u201d as well. While players only had a few days to sink their teeth into an early build of this year\u2019s CoD title, we\u2019ve already seen plenty of big takeaways from the Vanguard Beta. For some, frustrating issues on last-gen and \u201cbusted\u201d time-to-kill concerns bogged down the experience. But for others, things were a little more positive. Through all the bugs and SBMM woes, Scump came out of the Beta with nothing but praise for Vanguard. In fact, he\u2019s confident the new Sledgehammer Games release will be the competitive game since the CDL kicked off in 2020. \u201cLet\u2019s just get this out there\u2026 I loved it,\u201d Scump said about Vanguard in a September 23 YouTube video. \u201cI had such a good time with this Beta.\u201d Rattling off his thoughts on everything from map design and game modes down to the gunplay itself, the CoD veteran appeared happy with it all. \u201cUsually with Beta\u2019s, you get sick of it really quick,\u201d he explained. For Vanguard, that wasn\u2019t the case. \u201cI played it for about 5-6 hours every day that I was home\u2026 That\u2019s impressive for a Beta.\u201d On the public side of things, it was Vanguard\u2019s new Combat Pacing feature that kept Scump coming back for more. With \u201chigh intensity and large amounts of people in the games\u201d thanks to the Blitz setting, Scump was \u201chooked.\u201d \u201cIt was just so fast-paced, there was always something going on. It was just a lot of fun because of the sheer momentum of the game mode. Non-stop action.\u201d Outside of the new bells and whistles, Scump heaped praise on Vanguard\u2019s fundamentals too. Not only did he like \u201cpretty much [every map],\u201d but the \u201cgunplay was great\u201d as well. Movement was even a highlight for the King as Vanguard falls in line with that of 2019\u2019s Modern Warfare. \u201cThe game felt really smooth,\u201d as a result, Scump explained. All of these factors coming together has the CoD star \u201chopeful\u201d for a great competitive year. \u201cWill it be good for competitive?\u201d Scump asked himself. \u201cMaybe this is just me being optimistic and hoping that it is, but I think it will be. \u201cAs long as the spawns aren\u2019t completely f***ed, I think this should be a good competitive game. The maps look promising, the gunplay was great. From what I saw, I think it\u2019ll be better than Modern Warfare and Cold War competitively.\u201d Spawns, he admitted, were the \u201cworst part\u201d of the Beta experience. \u201cSpawns weren\u2019t great, it was very \u2018squad-spawny,\u2019 I hope it\u2019s not like that for competitive.\u201d But if this one glaring issue in public games is ironed out on the competitive side, he reassured the pro scene could be in for a \u201cgood year.\u201d With Vanguard\u2019s November 5 release still weeks out, there\u2019s plenty of time for things to change. Therefore, Scump didn\u2019t want to get too far ahead of himself. Ultimately, \u201cyou never know\u201d how the competitive scene may pan out, he reminded viewers. The King did add a kicker: \u201cWe have to wait for the full game to release.\u201d But if Scump\u2019s initial impressions are anything to go by, 2021 could be shaping up as the best year for competitive CoD in recent history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
