Forums - Gaming Discussion - Coming out: I'm terrible at FPS games

I have to admit it.  The only time I felt like I could play FPS games was when I was living in Japan because most people there were not so great.

 

It seems like in America, 99% of the population is given the gift to make 100 headshots a minute (exaggeration, I know).  I can do every other type of game pretty well, but it seems like FPS's are problems for me. It's too bad that in this country, I can't call myself a real gamer because of this.

 

The thing is, I'm actually pretty good at shooting a real gun IRL (at targets or course). 

 

Anyone else not so great at FPS games around here?  This is the thread to come out about that.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Me. tbh I am down right shit.

 

I just always put it down to th people living on the game online. Because i will only play online once i finnished the story and by the time i finnished that most people know the online levels like the back of the head. I have about 3 terrible rounds in a row then give up.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

I play 1943 a lot because it's not very headshot dependent (as well as just being an all round awesome game).



I'm fairly skilled at fps games, but I'm really amazed at how good some people are. Some people have 5 k/d ratios and that's damn good.



My K:D ratio in Reach is like 2:3, but I don't have as much time to play as I want.

My brother's is nearly 1:1.

I feel like a chump.

lol I'm extremely good at shooters and my advice is call of duty, on any given Sunday any noob can be a pro, game takes Zero skill



i'm pretty good at shooters even though I'm an RPG guy!!! lol, though it does come with a curse...if I play the MP before completing campaign, I suck extreme ass, if I play do the campaign first, then I do good

though I have more deaths than kills in reach(my latest FPS) , but as of right now, but  I've been do great, did like 10 matches the other day(4vs4 team slayer) and I was like 20/8-11 all those matches...got a hell of alot of killing sprees, double&triple kills, got cursed out the whole time lol!!!

though I think where I really shine are TPS, freakin beast at uncharted,(gotten 15 friend request from that game) pretty good a Gears, lost planet, RDR(if that counts)...hell might test my luck with quantum theory!!!(LOL)



Im pretty good at FPS : p



It not skill 

its out smarting your opponent 

If you are able to out smart your opponent you will win 90% of the time, the other 10% will be cheap deaths and twitchy enemy

hence why i am good 

i am an tactical run and gunner, i go to locations and use probability to determine if a person will be where i am going to, i would lablel certain enemy camp locations from high to low probably and determine the probably of a mine. i got really good at WAW and it was very fun at the same time. 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

I blame my dying on latency (being serious here)

my internet connection is wireless - not wireless as in router - think Satellite internet without the satellite my last mile (well actually couple miles) is all through the air, so my latency is slightly higher than most people on Cable/DSL or.. Fibre...

That half second makes all the difference in the world
