Where does the skill come in when playing BLOPS?

So I played COD multiplayer for the first time in years. It's all twitch gaming. Fastest reflexes wins. I don't see where the skill comes in. Am I wrong?

Reflex does not count as skill.DudeNtheRoom

It counts as luck?

It counts as luck?

Skill: "the ability, coming from one's knowledge, practice, aptitude, etc., to do something well"

You can practice to improve your reflexes (Hence it being a skill).

You might be retarded in which case this might not make sense to you. This attribute can be classified only as luck or skill. If something is not skill, then it must be by complete chance which we can aptly describe as luck. The opposite of skill is not reflex. Nor can you say something is skill, luck, or reflex. It just doesn't make logical sense.

Reflexes can be trained, boxers train it, goalies train it, the Navy SEALS train it, I have no idea how you can deny this.

you can't practice to improve your reflexes? you've got to be kidding me...

[QUOTE="DudeNtheRoom"] So many ppl in todays society read so much into things. You kids create and combine things that aren't even there b/c it "seems" true. Skill is volutary. Reflex is not. You can't practice to improve reflex. Aiming is a skill, b/c you can learn to adjust. It's volutary. alextherussian

Please tell that to tennis players. While you're at it tell them that reflex isn't a skill and they'll laugh at you. The majority of that game is reflex. If reflex can't be practiced and improved then pretty everyone should be able to be a pro tennis player.

[QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"][QUOTE="DudeNtheRoom"] Oops, thats not actually true. Reflex: "2. Physiology An involuntary response to a stimulus. 3. Psychology An unlearned or instinctive response to a stimulus." It's involuntary, it can't be pracitced.

Clearly the topic creator will not change his mind set even though everyone here has put up valid arguments only to be matched with his nonsense.

Reflex is the skill needed in Call of Duty Black Ops.

If you're looking for actual Team Work, Planning, and Espionage to bring your enemy down then go on MAG or some other MMO.

In Call of Duty Black Ops the Maps are so small there really is no room for Tatics, only Run and Gun and Perhaps a Sabotage or two.

CoD doesn't measure skill as much as virtue, specifically patience, as in do you have the patience to tolerate the pile of crap netcode that is CoD online MP?

Please seek a college education. Nothing you've said has made any sense and everyone else's arguments are overwhelmingly more logical than anything you've said.

[QUOTE="DudeNtheRoom"][QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"] Then how do you practice breathing techniques?soulitane

[QUOTE="soulitane"]

[QUOTE="DudeNtheRoom"] What? Breathing is voluntary. You can stop anytime you want. You can't stop a reflex. Thats why its called a REFLEX.DudeNtheRoom

Jesus Christ.....try holding your breath until you pass out and you'll see what he was talking about.

The Phrase 'hold your breath' means "don't expect it, it's not likely,"

Also

"Try holding your breath. After a minute you will have used up most of the oxygen stored in your body and carbon dioxide will build up, triggering senses in your diaphragm to start breathing. You will experience an overwhelming urge to gulp some air, something which you will not be able to resist."

[QUOTE="DudeNtheRoom"][QUOTE="soulitane"] You can't stop breathing, if you were to hold your breath for long enough your body's instincts will kick in and force you to breath.

Where does the skill come into any game?

Breathing isn't a reflex. It's voluntary! The point is you can hold your breath. Regardless of the chemical reaction that makes you start up again, you can stop.DudeNtheRoom

But why would you want to stop?

Breathing is Required for you to stay alive, and even if you do stop breathing you quickly realize that your body needs to Breath Oxygen and you will eventually have to start Breathing again.

Where the hell did this thread go suddenly :?

2 pages and we're talking about breathing and passing out.

In fighting games you have to learn the move sets of Certain Characters and maybe All Characters and then you would have to learn each Combos for each individual Character and of course there's how fast you move with your hands and thumbs...(reflexes)

Couldnt the same be said for pretty much every FPS? I mean, twitch shooting is all Counter Strike is, isnt it?

Eh, I was just saying. Breathing doesn't seem like something that is Voluntary, Sure you can hold your breath but It's sort of Required in living.

There is some, but not much of it.

[QUOTE="DudeNtheRoom"][QUOTE="soulitane"] Did you read what I said? Look at the part where i said if you hold your breath long enough. There is no way for you to stop your body from trying to breathe if the levels of CO2 in your blood stream get too high.

What was CoD4 on the Wii called?

Oh yea, CoD4: REFLEX !!! ;)
