Ok, coming in as a completely neutral party here, not sure whether I want high stafe speeds or not, but my opinion on that is not important now, I just wanna ask you gusy a question. Whether you like High or low strafe, what makes YOUR prefered choice more skillful. IN my opinion (yes i said my opinion didn't matter, I lied) All games take skill, just in different ways.
For example COD. I hate COD, havent played it in years, only reason I played it all those years ago were because I didnt know that FPS games culd be anything not COD-like. As I said, I hate it, but it takes skill. Not mental skill, not tacical skill, but twitch skill. In COD, as someone earlier in the thread accurately said, you die if anyone so much as sneezes on you. This makes it so the first one who shoots win, this rewards those with fast reflexes.
Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter also took skill. Unlike COD however, it rewarded tactical play, not twitch skill, if you tried to play like COD, you would die horribly, alot. If however, you played as a team and came up with strategies to outsmart your enemy, you would dominate them.
Quake is another game that takes skill. I have only played it a handful of times and failed horribly due to me being a console gamer not a pc gamer but i know enough about it to know it takes skill. To win in Quake you must know your maps, weapon and power up spawns, master bunnyhoping and have good reflexes. Quake requires a different skillset than COD or Ghost Recon but it takes skill nonetheless.
MY point in this matter is, this is an intersting thread, I personally want to hear the merits of Replication Gameplay Vs E3 Build Gameplay. Unfortunately most of this thread is " High strafe speeds take MaD SklLzZ I'm so 1337" and "LOL you a n00b you cant uze Coverz or AiM so gotz ta haz hi Strafe speedz" with a few interesting points. Just cause you dont like what he likes doesnt mean he has less skill or wants less skillful gameplay. So can we stop the E-peen contest, quit arguing over what has more skill, and make an organized thread that calmly discusses the merits of an idea instead of snowballing in to a festering, offensive, troll-ridden cesspit that gets locked by the devs?
TL ; DR
Man the **** up and read my ******* post |
