The biggest issue here is that you feel the need to compare the two.

There are dumb, horrible players that don't use tactics, team work, etc. and expect to get better somehow.

Then you have players that adapt, learn, settle into roles, learn multiple roles, etc. and they will dominate.

This isn't about the game. Every game has crap players, average players, and players that are above average.


For some reason everyone feels the need to stereotype.....

As a COD player, I can tell you that the biggest mindset difference is that we COD duty players try to be good at EVERYTHING. It sounds bad, though, if this vigor is applied in a productive manner it is a very deadly attribute.

For example, it is the reason we do Quickscoping, we want our sniper rifles to be just as good up close as at range. It is a deadly combo if done right.

Unlike other players, we do not like to change our class for the occasion, instead we do the best we can with what we selected. If I decided to go Shotgun, even though the entire other team is sniping, I am NOT switching. I will just flank and rush them. It is not always the best decision but it is a good attribute to have.

Just today, me and abouy 8-11 other guys found an enemy HAV. We had no AV.

So we just threw locus grenades, shot AR's at it, used one HMG and I used a breach shotgun & breach SMG. We took it down in two minutes.

Don't rule us COD players out just yet!

...On a slightly related note, I do not understand why so many people want the "commander" role put in so that "the game can have a RTS element" or something similar. There's already an overhead map in the game, and you should be using it, or communicating with someone else who is looking at it on your team!
