So, Siggi, are you telling me you're the best out there?
Or do others beat you?
Or are you claiming that because MoH doesn't exactly resemble real-life that it requires no skill at all beyond learning a map to play?
Firstly, MoH is a game. I'm glad I got the opportunity to let that come to your attention.
My question was relating to a game, not to what a real sniper would do.
If you want to talk about real-life battle tactics I suggest you go post on a forum that relates to them, not on one about a game.
Secondly, if all you think it takes to excell in any game is to learn the map then I pity you.
You are either the best player in the world or an extremely average one. I don't know for sure, 'cos I've never seen you play.
But no game will ever, ever, ever reflect real-life exactly. Your argument is that Medal of Honor requires no skill because basically it isn't the real thing.
You're right, a real-life expert sniper who has never played MOH would be crap at it to begin with.
But then again that goes for anyone.
It also goes for an expert MoH player who was given a real gun and told to kill with it.
They'd die pretty fast.
Your argument is redundant, it has nothing to do with the game at all.
So, you claim that you have mastered everything there is to know about the game?
If you say yes, then well done. You must be a very good player.
If the answer is no, then what are you complaining about? There's lot to learn about any game, and always more than you first thought.
Any experienced player would laugh at your claims that no game takes skill because it isn't real.
Simply put, you are saying that everyone is as good as eachother because all games are limited in what you can learn.
Come play on a server with me someday and we'll put that to the test shall we?
According to you we'd always get the same score, unless of course I cheat.
It's a sad and redundant excuse to cover up the fact that others are better at a game (yes, it is a game, remember?) than you are.
They are either as good as you, or they cheat.
That's the most retarded crap I've heard in a long time.
Put it this way. Rigz just pointed out to me that you can take the basics of most games and relate it to Chess.
Chess is all about decision making, and thinking ahead.
Anyone who claims Chess requires no skill to play is an idiot (and probably can't play it themselves).
Any game that requires decision making requires a skill.
Chess certainly is restricted in it's parameters, as is any game. In fact, it is more restricted than Medal of Honor, as it only involves an 8x8 playing area and each piece can only do one thing.
There is only so many moves you can do per position of any game. The best players see those moves long before their opponent does.
Medal of Honor, as with any real-time game, has the same ideas but with an added dimension and the fact that you need hand-eye coordination and reflexes.
Plus, just think about how many permutations and individual situations there are in a game like MoH.
And it's all real-time!
The only way Chess becomes anything resembling a game of noughts and crosses is when you program a computer to play it for you.
Gary Kasparov lost 2-1 to the most advanced computer to play Chess in the history of the game.
That tells you that there are still possibilities of improvement (although he is a genius and without a doubt the best at the game in the world).
Are you trying to tell me that you are as good as him at Chess? Oh sorry, he must use a whall-hack or something.
I'm sorry but your argument is weak.
