It takes more skill than COD because of the demand for headshots and map awareness but can we improve? Oh you'd better believe we can. We need to. The casualization of gaming will ruin modern gaming if we let it continue.

  • I'm not. COD's TTK is way too low to require skill and in Destiny, being on the map constantly means you have to be aware of how you play and realize camping doesn't work.

  • [quote]COD's TTK is way too low to require skill[/quote] Holy fawk, do you even think before you post? CoD's low TTK is [b]exactly[/b] why it's more competitive than Destiny; if you do something stupid in CoD you're going to be punished for it, unlike in Destiny where you can panic super, blink away or run around a corner with half of your health left. In Destiny if you make a stupid move you can still escape in numerous ways. It's the exact opposite of "skillful" gameplay. A low TTK puts emphasis on the need to understand map flow and positioning while being able to accurately predict where your opponents are going to be/what they're going to do if you want to be successful. I'm in the top 1% for KDR in this game. It might be 2% since I stopped caring once TTK released, but the fact is, I'm better than most of the people in this game when it comes to PvP. With that said, Destiny will ALWAYS be on the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to competitive console shooters. It's an imbalanced, casual player mess. This game is a joke PvP-wise. Accept it.

    [quote]Holy fawk, do you even think before you post?[/quote]I do and just because I disagree with you doesn't mean you have to act like a child about it. [quote]CoD's low TTK is exactly why it's more competitive than Destiny;[/quote]Uh no. A high TTK forces you to have good aim in order to kill your opponent. In COD, you just have to hit them 3 times with anything and they die. No aim required. [quote]This game is a joke PvP-wise. Accept it.[/quote] It is but COD is even worse. The only time it takes skill is in League Play which is like Destiny's Trials of Osiris in a way but better.

  • Competitive gaming doesn't mass sell games . It's in a very niche corner . 99.9% people play games for fun , and don't give a flying -blam!- about aim assist etc . Hardly anyone gives a shit if destiny is not competitive or not .

  • Well the casualization of gaming is going to ruin competitive for those who like it.
