No skill required for COD? Since when? Each weapon has its strengths and weakness, each strategy you make in the game can increase kills. It takes skill to learn the maps, figure out which routes are the best. Just because it does have a arcade type of feel doesn't mean it takes absolutely no skill to play.

Well maybe saying "absolutely no skill" was a bit harsh. But really, the actual skill requirement doesn't go far beyond needing a decent aim, quick trigger finger, and a general awareness of your surroundings. So basically, as long as you're not a zombie, you should do fine!

[QUOTE="Shake_McGee"][QUOTE="mitu123"] Killstreaks make it worse, any killstreak that involves the chopper will get you easy kills.

Well said. So basically an already noobish game is made even more noobish with "auto-kill scoring" features XD

lol that charlie sheen quote is from the howard stern show right? nice.

I'm not sure which interview it came from. If I remember correctly Charlie was actually somewhat normal in the Howard Stern one.

What is this COD requires no skill crap? Camping requires no skill, but there is no rule that you have to camp in COD, when i play it... i dont camp.

Please. Any "realistic" shooter where you can kill somebody with 3-4 bullets is NOT skill based. It simply becomes a game of who sees who first. It can be fun, but there is absolutely no skill required other than a fast twitchy finger.

You can kill people with 1 bullet in CS, does that mean it's not skill based?

Oh and, camping also takes skill in CS.

Never played it, but if it's anything like COD then no, it's not skill based.

play barebones mode with no killstreak rewards... problem solved. Nobody is forcing you to play modes with killstreaks.

Griffball in halo reach takes no skill, so i simply avoid that gametype.

Yeah, but Griffball is a very small part of Halo. You're asking us to ignore 90% of Black Ops :roll:

And even in barebones, it's still rather noobish.

Halo started it. CoD finished it. It's the end of the world.:shock:

The difference being Halo is actually, y'know... good. PC shooters could still be PC shooters when Halo was the biggest thing around.

That and Halo actually requires, y'know... skill!

I tend to agree. COD is fine for what it is (just plain "no skill required" fun), but I don't wanna see more skill based FPS games employing it's noobish inventions like kill streaks.

Still put-off by the AAAA score, are we? It's ok. Take it from me, MGS4 deserved every ounce of praise it received and is one of the best games this generation!
