Huke is such a humble kid. I really hope he has great success with CoD, he truly deserves it

Oh he sacrificed his paycheck for the team to happen, So i dont think there is many who would do that

[@justindeseranno3209]

He already has made it in cod

[@moto6153]

@Whuky I know, I mean success moving forward. It’s obvious he’s already accomplished so much in Halo and CoD but I’m sure he wants to win more. And I hope he’s successful in that, that’s what I mean

Yup, I'm old so I started with 007. When halo came out though everything changed. Everyone who had an Xbox Halo.

I think it's cause that was the OG game, Modern Warfare is when cod really blow up, and Halo was already huge before then

Can you post the timestamp where Huke talks? Thanks 👍

[@BigDaddyPano]

Imagine making a competitive map pool and they just reskin those maps every year, so when devs are making new maps they can just focus on making them enjoyable for pubs. Also maybe a ranked playlist🤞🤞

[@RlchlRlch]

That's too good to happen to cod. Forget it 😂

There are a lot of cod pros who would get tired of the same maps I think

[@RlchlRlch]

@@CasonVitello yup but theres a lot to choose from

[@jensenjhawks10]

I started liking Huke more and more as the CDL 2020 year went on. But seeing him outside his element of competitive COD, holy shit am I a big big fan now. One of the most humble and chill ones out there. Much respect Huke.

[@kezzab7961]

Regarding LP, rocket league that has way less money to use than acti, literally have a ranked play with like 10 ranks and you get car paints for each rank you achieve and a title card and stuff. Why is it so hard to implement that into cod? Every other game can do it.

[@Chungyson]

Great ideas for the competitive scene listed in this video. Similar to how Counter-Strike kept many of its classic maps in rotation over the years. Having set maps for competitive would be nice.

[@manuelolvera8706]

As much as Optic gets hate, Hecz has done an amazing job at making sure they are a top team AND leading the push to create a foundation for COD esports entertainment.

[@hariskhan7560]

Rainbow 6 is doing the map system the best The rank map and casual map pools are different and throughout the year they either rework a map to make it competitive or add a new map entirely while removing a map. This makes ranked play not the same each season but also not entirely foreign.

[@hariskhan7560]

Also in ranked there are 4 seasons each year and whatever rank you peaked at that season you get a season specific charm that u can put on your weapons and it is pretty in your face what rank they were if u spectate or watch the killcam

[@SirNekZa]

Having the same maps of competitive would make the game designers life soo much easier but being able to add there own new creative ideas with new maps would help keep things fresh

[@theshortstopgaming]

Finally able to finish the podcast. About the map pool: Instead of all of the pros getting together to argue about 5 maps and maybe never completely coming together, take a poll and find the top 15 maps and use those. Then you have potentially 3 plus years worth of maps to play if at that point every one can agree on five per year, maybe six or seven if that years CoD has good maps. But at the start of each year the pool of maps stays at the same 15 it was started with.

[@DestroyNations]

Hypothetically if Optic starts struggling and make a move on Huke and Dallas let's that happen I will never forgive them. I havent seen someone as electric as Huke since Scump. Simp obviously comes to mind as well, but you see where Hukes potential is even being mentioned with those two. You don't bench guys like this.

[@TheLegendNewton]

Awesome I've known of Huke since the first Halo 5 world championship and this is the first interview I've seen from him.

[@beekman29]

I completely agree with the map conversation. How did you get to your top 5 over ten years? In order to figure out what maps work the best, you had to play maps that didn't work out right? So what I'm saying is what u said. Keep a few, leave them two. On the flip side, you couldn't have discovered these great maps, without playing through the bad. Keep adding new maps, so that you can experience a new game. Maybe the next one will.

For rewards for league play, they could add a secondary emblem to show off your rank next to your prestige emblem in pubs. I think camos are a good way to make people want to rank up too. I think there should also be progressive calling cards for achievements such as total comp wins.
