Ok guys everyone knows there has been a lot of discussions recently about the starting of various competitive squads in the COD division.

While this is something we are looking at and we are excited by the prospect of bringing back some elite squads to COD we are also bringing in two new competitions for everyone in COD regardless of skill level! We will be starting up a singles tournament which will start with squad FFA’s and move on to division wide FFA’s so someone can lay claim to being the best player the COD division has!  More details on this to come!

We will also be starting up some spec-ops survival leaderboards!  For those who haven’t tried survival mode yet give it a go and get some practice in!  These leaderboards will be changed on a regular basis so everyone will get a shot at getting to number 1! Hellcat, Islik and myself are working on the details for these two competitions and if you have any thoughts or ideas you think could help feel free to send us a PM!
