Contender chooses topic (Video Games)

You're welcome, and I am enjoying this debate. Rebuttals and Arguments: (One from my first group) 3. Innovation I ran out of characters to say this, but Counter Strike was first released in 1999, and Cod was first introduced in 2003. I showed how they both had comparable graphics, but given the advances of four years difference, Cod was better. Then I showed how Cod had slowly advanced in graphics, but Counter Strike escalated, through just four games over fourteen years! Con states that both series do not innovate very much, but I disagree, as CS has gone from near 8bit graphics to beautiful rendering, as well as COD, but COD made so many games, that the changes leading to each are miniscule. ----------------------------------------------------------- More Rebuttals 1. Multiplayer Pro states that COD ghosts has a more appealing multiplayer because it is a console game, and known for its local multiplayer. CSGO has both features, where you can choose to play a local community match, which takes longer to load than a general match, but is still worth it if you want to play with people around your community. Pro also states that all you need to do is give your friends controllers, and have everyone convene at your own house to play, while CS requires everyone to have a computer, and you need a powerful machine to run CS. CS runs on Source, which does not specifically require much ram. Also, your friends do need to have a computer to play on, but you can still create games where just you and your friends can play together, without anyone else from the internet joining. Finally, Pro states that COD has some non-competitive game modes, while CS does not. CS and COD are both generally serious games, and are meant to be competitive. Both games have modes that are not super competitive, but all of them are to an extent. You are welcome to play either game as a non-competitive game, but it is not what most people do. And laslty, Pro states that the maps that are large, and fun because it gives a more immersive face to the game, but really, how annoying is it when your opponents are in the opposite corner of the map than you, and you can't see them? 2. Single Player Campaign Unfortunately, CS does not have a single player campaign, where COD does. If you only want to play the Campaign of a video game, COD is the obvious choice. If you are looking for a game with a great multiplayer environment, with minimal issues, CS is the choice. -------------------------------------------------------------- My only argument 1.Marketing/Business On CS, there are nearly infinite weapon camos that can be bought in the Steam Marketplace, for .04$ all the way to 400$! (anything more is sold outside of the game for other reasons i.e. system can't deal with 1k$ transactions). So essentially, if you are lucky when opening a crate that you may have gotten as a drop in-game one day, you could get a 35$ skin for a gun, and sell it on the marketplace, and go and buy Skyrim, or some other game for sale on Steam! So, by playing this game, you can make enough money to buy even MORE games! How great is that?!! By opening crates with keys (total of about 3$) you have a chance of getting a weapon worth .10$ to 1000$.
