If good looks could kill, I'd be a weapon of mass destruction.
Q: Hey, what did Hitler say to the black jew?
A: Get to the back of the oven.
As much as I love COD, yes it is. Mostly because of ranking (rewarding the losers almost as much as the winners)but the gameplay elements as well (loadouts are not necessarily "un-competitive" at heart, but given that they can be varied so deeply that no one is on the same level, they really do take away the fair competitive edge in favor of customization).
COD may not have been the first to use these elements, but it certainly popularized them beyond anything that came before it, and now quite a few major competitive games are leaning towards the customization route in sacrifice of the fair competitive elements as a result.
Granted, there are and still can and will be competetive games, but they are now in the minority as COD and the major franchises that emulate its elements are the majority.
