Where does the skill come in when playing BLOPS?

Let's see you do a 360 no scope from across the map.FIipMode

Thats luck and its not even debatable

This thread is...hilarious. I read all pages :lol:

Yeah, this was a good thread

All arguments, definitions and other statements by the TC aside, I have seen highly-skilled players not only in FPS, but also in Shmups, puzzle games like Tetris, etc. Hand-eye coordination, memory, reflexive skill, aiming, controlled movement are all developed skills, and such things keep me from being awesome at any of those games. :)

If FPS (since we are speaking about them) are based purely on reflexes, than any random person with great reflexes would be able to pick up a control, learn the control scheme and own the best in the world. However, that isn't the case.

Yes, I know I fell victim to the troll, but that's the fun of it sometimes.

Half the ppl that replied after I went to bed need to learn how to comprehend reading. I admitted that BLOPS takes some good reaction time which can be a skill. That doesn't mean I'm contridicting myself. That means, I conversed intellingently with the ONE person in this thread and admitted I was somewhat wrong. I'm not so high and mighty that I don't admit when I'm wrong.

One guy even said I should admit there is a reaction time in COD, when theres 2 pages on it in this thread. I'm sure those ppl are well recieved around here though. I had a different view as to some ofyou and 1 or 2 of you insulted my initelligence.

To the guy who said there are 2 types of reflexes. I want a link to these. I've never heard of 2 reflexes. A reflex is a reflex and a voluntary reaction is a volutary reaction.

In the end, it's reaction time that is used in COD. You can hone it. It's not my kind of game. I like games where aiming is used more.

Edit: and where are ppl getting that I don't think games, in general, any require skill???? As I said before some of you ppl make things up too get along.

ummmmmm has anyone ever heard the phrase, practice until it's a reflex...... This is a case of what came first the chicken or the egg... I think breathing was a reflex first but you can practice and control it, playing video games is a hobby you can practice until it becomes a reflex.. Both take skill... /threadRenzokucant
