^ - An example of skill

Regenerating health is exactly why campfests happen, there are no items to fight for so you might as well sit around.

Very true, except that most chobs and scrubs that play FPS games these days like CoD would never be able to get more than a few frags per game and have their asses used as a wiping mop of the floor. Then they start bitching about how the game is stupid and broken and takes no skill to make themselves feel better about their scrub skills. Then they go buy CoD, or GoW, or Halo, or any current shooter from the past 6 years that requires minimal amounts of skill to play and thus we get dumbed down, noob friendly, scrub pampering, shooters we have today.

Then for single-player you have a good example why things got so dumbed down in this thread. "zomg i got lost!!1" So things got simplified because the lowest denominator is a scrub, not the person who can actually play the game well and take time to figure out how things work.
