Competitive games?

Hey,

So i'm pretty sure at some point we've all had that one game where we played more than any other and became pretty competitive at it. For me it was the original Gears of War and Call of Duty 4. Also a little Black Ops 2 due to league play. But atm i'm just missing that competitive game again that I can play round after round on.

I was hoping Titanfall would be that game and it is to an extent but Titans annoy me in the game. I'm looking for a new game that I will stick at again, something thats not too old but at the same time active and has a great community to compete with. Can anyone suggest anything? I seem to just be missing that something these days and want to bring back a little competitiveness to gaming again, something I've missed.

CS:GO?

I've always heard about CS but never really played/watched any of it. Also correct me if i'm wrong but hasn't that game been out years? If I tried to play that now i'd be so far behind everyone else learning maps, spots etc. But I do know its very competitive.

Always been interested in Dota 2, LOL and Smite but never got round to playing it. I'm amazed at how big those games are. Would love to play it but I've always been a FPS players and never played an Moba game in my life.

man but I was crazy competitive about GOW (admittedly on the Xbox360) thought the multiplayer on the rest was pretty poor.

nothing quite beats 19 x 1 minute rounds of Raven Down!!

Haha! the nostalgia! Pity they got worse and worse as the years went on

Might try out CS:GO if I don't enjoy that I'll try one of the Moba games. I enjoy fast paced game which is the only thing putting me off.

LOL - I would warn you now the community for LoL in EU West is terrible especially in the competitive side, crazy loudmouth complainers. Many people leave the game as the abuse of players who are incapable of admitting their own mistakes get to them and cause you to cut your eyes out. Besides that though its all good.

I've heard this from several people about the community when starting out on the game.

I like CS:GO but just feels a bit slow. The rest like LoL, SC2 DOTA 2 etc I don't think I'll ever get into. They just aren't my type of games. There is a big gap imo for a developer to make a competitive FPS game again as Warbie said. Titanfall is the closest yet but I just feel it won't last due to the lack of content in game atm. Also Titans are pretty annoying.

Must admit had so much fun on CS:GO today. First time playing and finished in top 2 on my team every map. Think I could end up playing it enjoyed the quick matches but will see once I move up the ranks again better players :3 Played well considering I've only seen gameplay on the maps to go by.
