So they put in Clan vs Clan, great, but it just seems Infinity Ward can't implement ANYTHING without it being half-assed, lazy and having an inkling of common sense. 3 issues I've already seen:
1. They don't give you a full game of DOM, they give you one-side. How is that meant to mirror Competitive play? That's just stupid. You SHOULD get a chance on both sides.
2. Join-in progress is on. Seriously? I just joined a game where we're down in DOM 3-50. And people leave constantly because there's no punishment for leaving. I haven't played one game without someone leaving after 1 minute.
3. The most stupid thing BY FAR, is not giving you a menu where you can amend your classes, you have to do in the lobby. This doesn't sound like the worst thing ever, but if your class includes any banned item (and there are a lot) then you can't use it and you have to use a default class. There's no warning, no informational message that there's restricted perks, guns, equipment and attachments, NONE. If you don't know the eSports restrictions before you start then there's a good chance you won't be able to use one of your own classes (as IEDs are banned, 99% of randoms are having to use default class).
Here's some basic info for you, if you want to know more, just ask.
Restricted stuff...

MSBS
All Marksman Rifles
Riot Shield

Specialist only, no Support or Assault.
Game modes are Blitz, Domination and Search and Destory.
Maps are limited to Strikezone, Octane, Freight, Sovereign, Warhawk. Some maps play more than one game mode, i.e., Freight can be used for all 3 game modes, Strikezone is only used for Domination.
Games are 4v4, you don't have to be in a clan to play or have a full team of 4 (although is freaking helps, F U randoms!).
Blitz and Domination have a 5 second spawn delay after each death.
Search and Destory is first to 6 rounds, alternating between Defence and Attack.
My biggest tip, USE DEAD SILENCE. It has been patched, and you're more silent than ever. You sound like an elephant to your enemies without this perk. The game modes are often quieter as there's less people to kill and with people in spawn delays, you're footsteps can give you away constantly.
If anyone has any questions or wants to know some basic class set ups then give us a shout.
