Lan Annalysis - CoD4 comp etc, Just a bit of a debate/info thread on CG Options

Have a read, very interesting in how Respawn could attract more players to their main competitions for TF2, CSS, CoD4.

Have a read, as CoD has been on a steady rise of competition and teams for the past 2 years now, could be worth while investing.

I feel like reading that linked CyberGamer post that some of the general concencus is that, and please correct me if I am wrong, but you feel that re-introducing a cash prize for CoD4 will cause more competitive players to want to come.

My argument against this is one of, if you do it for one competition, you have to do it for all of them, largely because if say you gave CoD the prize what was suggested above of $500 + 5 TTesports products, that's $100 a player + a $60 keyboard (for example) each. Then again for CS:S and then prizes for comps such as TF2, Flatout 2, Quake 3, GRID, etc.

I personally feel that if we introduced a cash prize it would also detract from one of the things that I personally love about Respawn, it's a chance for casual gamers (such as myself) to play games in a competitive setting against players who they normally wouldn't play against, however if we were to get a sudden influx of competitive or even sponsored teams in, I happen to feel like there is a chance that this section of our community may become intimidated and not enter the competitions.

While I agree that it is a good concept, I personally do not feel it to be one that can be easily justified.
