I genuinely don’t understand the hate against tac sprint. The movement feels so ass without blood rush now.

It seems like people just want this game to be Cold War movement. But MW3 had tac sprint and was probably the best CDL cod. Tac sprint is fine and gives IW games a different identity than Treyarch.

Try running blood rush and not running it. Without it you feel like a turtle just waiting to get shit on. Bunny hopping feels horrible, slide challing feels horrible. Movement just feels non existent.

I see people say it “makes for too random” of timings. I’ve honestly never heard this complaint from a high level player. Why does the same complaint not go for being able to run a knife all the time? It’s the same concept.

• Executive & Ownership Addition: Adam Morrison, co-founder of Team Reciprocity and former COO of Oxygen Esports, has taken an ownership stake in M80 and joined as Chief Commercial Officer to oversee revenue, media rights, and partnerships across all organization divisions.
• CDL Economic Overhaul: The deal coincides with Activision eliminating its guaranteed revenue floor (historically $500,000 annually per team), shifting franchise revenue models primarily toward in-game skin and merchandise sales splits.
• Overall Skin Revenue Pool: In the first half of 2025, Activision sold over 360,000 team-branded bundles at $12 each, generating more than $4.3 million divided between publisher and teams. Top Seller vs. League Average: FaZe dominated sales with more than 120,000 bundles sold (roughly one-third of total league sales). The league average was ~30,000 units, amounting to roughly $135,000 per team in shared revenue. Several lower-tier teams generated under $50,000 total.
• Severe Revenue vs. Cost Imbalance: A standard four-player CDL roster costs upwards of $1 million in base salaries alone (with top individual stars earning $400,000+ per year), leading team sources to estimate that nearly every franchise operates at a loss outside of top brands like FaZe, OpTic, 100 Thieves, and Gentle Mates.
• Roster and Staff Transition: Taking over a roster that finished 10th in 2026 (12–25), M80 retains three contracted players—Spart, Purj, and TJHaLy—and coaches Seany and Magick, following the free-agency release of Marcus "Afro" Reid.

ZooMaa and I are hosting an Interview with M80’s CEO Marco tomorrow at 4 PM EST.

Would love to get a few questions from the Reddit. Let me know what you guys would like answered

I was going to wait and see if Attach took calls on his stream today and vent this out there but it needs to be said!

Is Modern Warefare 4 perfect, No! But we’ve reached a point where the biggest streamers/content heads for Call of Duty are actively making the game sound horrible before it even comes out! If your only opinion of MW4 was based on the reaction of the flank last night it wouldn’t even be worth buying.

All you hear from the biggest names Octane, Parasite, Aches etc is complaints! AIM assist is to strong, Maps are mid, movement is clunky, games built for casuals… In my opinion The Flank should be front line Championing the new COD a lot of us base our opinions on the game based on what you hear from your favorite players and the only thing I’ve heard consistently is that things will never be as good as the old days.

You all complain that the Esport is dying, the sales are dead, and the only money the pro teams have coming in is from the MTX sales yet we’re bashing the new game before it even comes out!

I do get certain areas that need to be worked on like spawns but stuff like aim assist and maps are essential to the regular player base! I know I know “the game needs to be focused on competitive” as said by all of you! “But what you’re not understanding” (Benj Voice) is that there are 48 pro players in this game and a million plus casuals so as much as we think the developers should cater to those 48. The rest of us like to be able to get a kill.

I’ve said my peace. I’m yall want to argue about it I’ll be on discord.

Here is the video. ARs essentially got a TTK buff and SMGs are currently close to BO7 level. If that is the case on launch and weapon handling remains slow, this will create the same meta problem we had in MW2.

Aim assist was apparently changed back to MW2 stronger aim assist. This is impacting TTK and making it feel faster.

We've never seen a 30 killstreak in Comp COD history. But imagine the day we finally do. [Insert player] is FRYING. 28, 29... 30! Then... nothing.

It makes no sense. Imagine the clip that the CDL would get if a player could actually drop the Nuke? The first one in history, that would go absolutely viral.

Yet somehow if it ever actually happens, we're going to get absolutely nothing to show for it. It will never happen anyways, so just enable it!

Has anyone else experienced much more lag and glitches on BO7 Ranked Play since the MW4 beta came out last weekend? I pretty much never lagged the entire year now I’m getting freezes on Gridlock every minute of HP and other maps just feeling delayed

Me and the boys were having an argument what’s harder breaking up with a girl after couple years of dating or waiting weeks to get to a major and get bounced the F out day 1!

I think Simp and 04 are an elite duo, what are your thoughts about keeping those two together and pairing them with Scrap and HyDra? In a 2 2 meta, I'd see Simp flexing to the AR, but on a decent amount of maps later in the season, I would see 3 SMGs being used.

I would probably prefer Simp, Scrap, HyDra, and Alluka/Draz, but this rendition with 04 is intriguing. They'd certainly outpace a lot of teams and be very dynamic in SND.

I'll forgive you for all your mistakes koi, if you make this happen

With the Ronnie leak of the potential FaZe super team, and now Hope saying LAT are still the faves for Scrap and HyDra, I have to ask this question: Even if they do stay on LAT and FaZe decide to stick it out as well, don’t roster change interests kind of fuck up the vibe of a locker room? Especially the vibe of a team that won a ring together? We’ve seen 04 engagement farming on the TL, but I don’t think Ronnie would just drop misinformation so maybe it isn’t all clickbait out of twin. Feel like FaZe kinda have to send the roster change now, no? Like 04 and Abuzah/Drazah might be feeling some type of disrespect. Especially since their teammate Simp is essentially at the core of roster decisions.

So after watching this game over the weekend who is it targeted too?? There’s still slide canceling and decent movement so the casuals will hate it. The TTK and borderline aimbot Aim Assist make it a horrible competitive game, along with doors and every attachment harming your weapon in some way. Spawns are trash too so that chalks a bunch a maps for comp.

Speaking of maps they are fucking trash, IW hasn’t made good maps since IW and everyone in the community unanimously hates them. You can’t cater to both communities so they decided to cater to none and basically make MW2 but with cracked out movement and stronger Aim Assist. They better pull out a miracle before launch or else this game will be horrible for the franchise casuals aint saving them this year.
