This is a much better list then was given by another topic creater, i left out COD4 because a blind monkey can play that game and still get kills. For me it would be SOCOM followed by Counter Strike.

WTF u want to go back as far as 99 or maybe the first Quake? Counter Strike doesnt take that much skill anyways, maps are pretty simple get a Razer mouse and u can do headshoots all day. BF 2 yea i forgot about that, but i had to include some console shooters anyways. Try playin any SOCOM game then talk to me, and i did play all the games you listed.

CS is a simple game. What makes it extremey difficult and require alot of skill is due to it's userbase. The average CS player is really good at the game. So making yourself stand out amongst them requires extreme skill. Also if you are new to CS you will just get owned...hard even on noob servers.

I just finished watching some CS videos on youtube and just want to know what exactly makes getting kills in that game difficult? It looks like your typical respawn FPS.

W1NGMAN-

There is no respawn in CS until the round is over unless your specifically playing on a server modded for DM. What makes getting kills difficult is that the person you're trying to kill will kill you first 95% of the time if you are new to the game. Getting on par with the average CS player takes a long time if you're just starting CS. Like I said before, it's the average skill of the userbase that makes CS extremely difficult.

1- CounterStrike 2- Halo*gasp* 3- Socom so many other games more than gears in fact Halo and socom shouldn't be there either Where is Red Orchastra? where is Unreal 2k4? where is Quake? hell Team Fortress 2 takes way more skill than that list outside of Counterstrike.

I definitely agree with Quake and Unreal. TF2 is skillful, but again, more team based than anything.

Yep! Takes few bullets for somebody to die.

Counter Strike obviously. And there are much better candidates for poll options. Maybe you should expand your horizons?

Alright, so essentially CS and Socom share a lot of the same traits.... both have no re spawn, revolve around realism, and have some really strong user bases. Gotcha.

Forgot about Warhawk.. Resistance 1 single player was difficult because of the lack of checkpoints.. if you die you have to go back like 15 mins in a level.

I think on consoles PDZ (during the times evry1 on 360 was playing it of course) cuz its like the only game that has ZERO auto aim and multiplayer for some reasons reminded me of CS by that i mean very competitive, if you suck you would get owned so much that the only thing you could do is rage quit.

Yes I'm sure you are aloud to list some just like you could've listed some in the other thread. But the TC decided to make a whole new thread because he thinks his is better. I'm saying it's not. One thread on the subject is enough, this is completely unnecessary.

Counter Strike takes the cake, easily, the other games shouldnt even be on the list... BF2 is hard as hell, project reality is real to the extreme, in most servers, all you see is guys with 400 points and like 3 kills, because they keep helping eachother to keep the squad alive, and gunplay is REALLY hard

Socom, Counterstrike, Resistance: Fall of Man, Killzone 2, and Team Fortress 2 take good amounts of skill. Oh yeah, Warhawk too. That game can be so hard to start, although I don't really enjoy it. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance; I've only played the demo.

That's because you played on Xbox, PC CS ftw. Anyways CS is the hardest therefore takes the most skill. I'm lucky if I can get 3 kills in one match. Halo, Gears, anything else I can come in first easily, so yeah, CS takes the most skill.

You have to aim and control the recoil effectively. Range is a huge thing that has to be compensated for in that game. Guns react entirely differently within different range spheres. A TMP is deadly in a building but useless over distance, spread is important, etc. The fact that you have to control the AK's bullet output to essentially semi automatic or two-round burst just to clear someone's skull at range and you can't make a shot even at mid to moderate range with a spray and pray indicates that you have to have somewhat of a handle on how to use the guns. And like others are saying there's a really big skill ceiling in that game.

LoL, PPSH sprayers are rich. They end up shooting straight at the sky right before getting shot right in the face with a KAR.
