Yes, it is slower, but in CS it is mainly about who sees who first, basically just like CoD games.  There is no dueling dance of jumping and shooting(ala Tribes, Halo 3, Quake 3, UT2004).  The weapons kill extremely quickly and it is incredibly easy to aim.  This does not change my previous points.

 

No I agree with those points. And you jsut agreed that it's whoever sees first is dead. Which is generally the case with 2 equally matched people (that is, they can put the mouse over you the quickest). Halo has the grenades to add a bit of depth and the regening shield (which is so wrong in a multiplayer game that I can't even begin to express how retarded the mechanic is). But yes, the skill of those faster games is lacking. It's far far harder to aim while the target AND yourself is moving so fast, with weapons which are not hitscan weps, than it is to move your reticule over the other person when both players have parkinson's disease (every consoel shooter).

 

So you are saying, that it is a 50/50 chance as to who will win if two people see each other at the same time in a console shooter.  That is what implying no skill means.  That is just so completely far away from the truth than can be.

Halo is about 4 gameplay mechanics.  Each of which are almost equally important as the next.  Guns, grenades, melees, and vehicles.  It is more than just bunny hopping around and dueling.  Teamplay is far greater, and strategy plays a far greater role.
