The one I had the most fun playing where Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Call Of Duty: World At War.

While it lasted, I would have to say the original CoD.

The maps were just perfectly balanced.

It takes skill to get behind people. Unless you play in a pub where noobs blindly run around maps? There are skills besides aiming, like say positioning yourself well to get the most frags. It isn't luck, and if you think it is, then it's probably why it happens enough to you for you to complain about it :)

Unreal Tournament 2004 and Diablo 2 were incredible online!

What is "Skill" anyway? Does it include tactics?

I'm absolutely horrible at FPS games. The sole reason for that, is that I cannot aim. Still, I can do some pretty good things in many games, as I'm more clever than my enemy. I manage to sneak up behind him, lay a trap for him when he turns a corner, or something like that.

In a game where the enemy kills me every time, even if I manage to fool him, there doesn't seem to be any fun for the losing side.

I believe that games that include tons of "skill" are also the games that take the least amount of thinking (not referring to reflexes)

Skill is your aim, avoidance, and ability to work with your team. UT2004 has plenty of the 3rd when it comes to assault and Onslaught, but it also just happens that a team may have the BEST strategy and they will still lose to a a loose team if the loose team has more skillful players.

As to finding the best position. I do that in UT2004, but some random person will get in 2 lucky shots (usually the realistic games have hitscan weps) and that will be that. In UT2004 I take the rocket to the back of the head, turn around, kill the guy and blissfully cotinue on my way to God Like. Again, it takes no skill to shoot some one twice in the back while he's picking up a weapon or ammo in those games, that's why they suck.

i just got into cod:waw and surprisingly i'm loving it. i used to hate fps because i'd get nauseated from the motion... but i guess practice makes perfect as i don't suffer like i used to.

i think what's pulling me in is the point system. i love leveling crap up like an rpg.

i can't wait till diablo 3 comes out.
