This may not be so relevant, but I thought I should write it anyway just to get it off my chest:
I have been watching my share of Black Ops commentaries after like 6 months of unsubscribing to Machinima Respawn after they spam my subscription section with the same game commentaries over and over again. And I find none of them informative nor entertaining in the least. Playing the said shooter might be entertaining, but I hardly feel the same thing watching other people do it unless it was in some form of live stream or something.
I mean, it's the same thing with most commentators, they say what map they are playing, what perks they use, and made a random VLOG about things that are just plain irrelevant. I could be wrong on that though as they might be actual commentaries out there that I actually like. But still, it's hard to find with all the constant commentaries I see.
There is nothing to talk about in black ops pub stomps. Theres no strategy or anything, basically you hang around an area of the map and shoot fast. Thats why theres the 10 seconds at the start where they say the map and perks, and vlog. if they actually casted objective based arranged team vs arranged team games, there would be more to talk about.
guess you were not around at that time when redeye was doing the clanbase euro/opencups for ut2k3/2k4 ictf try a search for the legendary inmind vs genesis of a new alliance final match. something i had the chance to withness live.

MLG thinks differently...... they have neither. Instead have CoD and Halo
What's MLG got to do with esports?
Either way. FPS commentary can be enjoyable, but it's somewhat harder to find a good commentator than in strategy games. Try searching for 2GD commentating on Quake or CS. He's a lot better on Quake though. Thorin does a fair job on CS. But it's always best to have an actual progamer there, since otherwise there's a high chance of listening to someone that doesn't know anything about the game at all and while he does a good job of describing of what's happening, that's not what you want to hear.

And that commentary vid just utterly outclassed any compettitive FPS commentary I've ever seen. Lol Halo and Balck Ops .... just no
Imo, Quake > UT is mainly because the Quake movement system is so much better. Plus UT has some really gay weapons.
I have to agree with most people here, when I saw the title I was just, "Quake commentaries are pretty good" but I see alot of people have already said the same thing

I dunno. What I like about UT was that it had more variety. Quake as I recall just had Deathmatch under it's belt

Which is why I don't take MLG seriously. CoD over quake ? Come on ..
I'm with you, just pointing out that in NA for some reason people go ape for what in EU are considered "Casual" games. Quake is the only FPS i still play. I gave up on CS because i sucked and couldn't find a good team of friends to actually get good with lol.

You have to think of it in a business perspective. How many people are going to tune in to watch Black Ops? How many people are going to tune in to watch Quake? The number for Black Ops is most certainly higher than Quake.
