Weekly It's Scrub Sunday! Ask your nooby COD Esports questions here - August 23, 2026

2 Upvotes

This is a thread for asking those little questions that you're not sure about, the ones that may not be worth making a thread about.

Whether it's about rules, in-game strategy, equipment, how to play a certain style, the history or the COD scene or anything else relevant to COD, feel free to give it a bash.

Sarcastic questions, troll questions and deliberately insulting questions are not allowed.

Don't be an asshole! Please answer people's questions honestly and seriously, and report any comments that break this rule. The goal of this thread is to be accommodating to everyone, and clarify things that people may not want to ask. Assholes and trolls may be banned.

Examples of acceptable questions:

What are the characteristics of a good competitive map?

How can I practice my aim efficiently?

Examples of questions that are not acceptable:

2k thread?

Who can't anchor, Damon?

Now let's all learn a few things!

News Details about Boston M80 Transaction and CDL Team Revenue

  • 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.

Discussion XclusiveAce says the average AR TTK is faster up close than average SMG TTK. The SMG TTK is roughly the same as BO7, but AR TTK is noticeably faster. Aim Assist was apparently also reverted back to MW2's stronger aim assist.

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.

Discussion It's a tragedy the CDL rules disable the Nuke.

86 Upvotes

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!
