Okay, here's an example of skill in MoH...

Patience.

Different people have different levels of patience. This is a skill they have developed. In real life, this is a valuable skill. In MoH, it is also valuable. The impatient player runs straight at the enemy every game, averaging 1 frag per game (1 to 1 kill/death ratio). A more patient player is willing and able to wait, and racks up 2 or 3 kills, frequently surviving the whole game (and thus depriving someone else of a frag). I have seen it over and over. In fact, this quality alone accounts for much of my success in MoH. No offense to the many mature kids out there, but I'll bet the average age of patient players is significantly higher than the average age of impatient players. So this aspect would tend to favor adult players. Yet after playing MoH for a while, a player may actually learn the value and enjoyment of patience, and develop more of it. This can then pay off in the real world.

So patience is an example of a skill that affects your ability in MoH, and you can develop in MoH, with benefits in the real world.
