FPS: High or Low Time to Kill (TTK)?

A lot of people are saying high TTK takes more skill. I disagree, I think it just takes a different set of skills. I will certainly concede that it takes more aiming skill, Halo and Gears are all about headshots...but low TTK requires quicker reactions, faster aiming (not better, just faster), and you need to pay more attention to your surroundings.

Yeah there will always be asshole campers in a series like Call of Duty, but they are pathetic rats who end up having like 6 kills and 1 death at the end of the match, while a good player who rushes can end up with 30+ kills and a very small number of deaths (just look up Sandyravage on youtube). Of course I wish there were no campers, and I used to hate them...but now I just feel sorry for them. They sit in a corner of a 10 minute team deathmatch just to get 5 or 6 kills...that's not fun at all, that's just plain pathetic.

first isn't skill in my opinion. fast reaction, ok you could call it skill but it is god given if you react fast or not. you can train it a little bit but most of that reaction, you  have it or not...

that's why i love halo so much, you can kill three opponents shooting on you if they can't aim. in reach it's easy to kill three with the dmr if they shoot to fast with this weapon.

but that's what i said yesterday, in cod it would be stupid if people would have so much energy. it has to go fast there. i like halo more because of it but it is still good to have fast kills in cod.
