i play competitive on non-cod games.

I don't take cod seriously enough. I know that sounds strange, but with a game like cod where too many people cheat use lame tricks ect. I find no need to take it seriously all the time. If I really wanted to be competitive, I would take time out of the week to practice, and I would be a crazy try hard. Instead I like to play casually and have fun.

True. but the thought of winning 30 G's is pretty cool. although as mike said theres way to many try hards and guys who find ways to get around dying in this game. although I did find out that no controllers can be brought to the competition.. like modded ones.. they are provided by gamestop.. so thats pretty fair.
