Call Of Duty Will Be in the X-Games

[Brasky]

This is the dumbest shit ever.

Pro gamers will compete in ESPN X Games

I love COD. Especially competitive COD. It's a lot of fun, but it is NOT A SPORT.

You have to be kidding me.

This reeks of a bunch of middle aged men sitting in a corporate office trying to figure out how to attract young viewers.

"We need to attractive the teenage male demographic. This skateboard stuff isn't getting it done anymore. What should we do?"

"Kids like that Call of Duty stuff, right? Let's just throw that out there along with some Red Bull gear and a bunch of hashtags. Kids like that stuff"

"Done! We're some goddamn geniuses"

COD Modern Warfare was the best of the COD games

pro gaming has actually become serious..........theres a tons of leagues, sponsors, "groups" even dedicated gaming leagues, gear, and china is even building gaming stadiums

You know your series has reached the point of incremental upgrades if its being considered as a sport. What matchups are involved in COD? What Meta? Its a freaking twitch game

Mw 2 was my favorite..........

Actually I know the game wasnt as great, but Black Ops 2 was my thing........i was addicted to all the games......but god that one i was hooked, and it was by far my best game...........i was dominant

They're building a stadium in the U.S. right now.

I just look at true athletes and it's an insult to the x-games brand for COD to be associated.


It's a joke.

X-games is a joke.

I don't get where the X Games comes into play but ESPN shows a lot of poker which isn't really a sport either. I would definitely change the channel if I saw the X Games having video game competitions.

I guess they're just using it as a promo. Like the way any major even would. It's cool and fun, but they will separate it as much as possible from the real sports. They'll give them medals, but it will be made clear how far off this thing is from a real sport.

OD, you might be the wrong person to ask, but is this person a joke:



???

Your answer depends on how good your life is and how much it probably sucks

X-games is a joke.

I disagree. Especially since big air skateboard and snowboard are involved now. It's absolutely insane what they are attempting these days. Every run is borderline suicide.

The snowboard half pipe is always the best of the best. It's designed and groomed to perfection. The half pipe at the Sochi games was a fucking disaster.

Even the skiing trick competitions are pretty sick. Sometimes those can be even more exciting than the snowboarding ones because they can go for huge tricks and add in spinning around (up to a 1440) to it.

World at War and COD 3 were my favorites but that one was up there. After WaW they became pretty terrible other than the Zombie modes in the Black Ops games.

COD is garbage.

 

[navamind]

should have tried it 10 years ago around the time of Halo 1/Halo 2. they were far more competitive than CoD. too bad Halo 4 sucks ass.

What ever happened to that madden show on espn? Where those guys would play and the top 2 would go to NYC and play on a big screen? That show was actually pretty entertaining.
