It really depends on the game, and when i get it in comparison to how long it has been out. im not to good at tf2 because the community is so experianced, but im quite good at bfbc2 because ive been playing it since day 1 (well minus one)
Multiplayer gaming... sigh

I think you're just working with a to rigid system. You memorize these things when you should just be playing, plans are overrated and prevent you from adapting. Just go with the flow. Act as things come to you, never before hand. If faced with an immediate threat let your instincts take over, true combat is primal.MiracleOfSound said:
Follow this advice and you will be as good as me.
I'm so horrendously bad at first person shooters. No matter how much I play, I can't get used to the controls. The whole having to use both joysticks to move AND move your camera angle has always just been really jerky and confusing for me. Screw multiplayer online FPSs...or just FPSs in general....
If I haven't played for a while, then I might need a round or two to get back into it. I'm generally one of the top scorers, and I'd think I can 'casually mangle anyone' in my way.
Well master is a very vague term.Legion IV said:
As time goes on multiplayer games evolve, you can master a game in 2 weeks, but then a few days later new tactics have been developed.
I will use Gears Of War and Halo 3 as examples.
I got Gears a few months after launch and I loved it, so I played it a lot. I say I mastered it because I knew the maps inside out, and knew all these little tricks to increase my odds of winning. Now however I am terrible at the game, partially because I'm more used to FPS games and because the online has 'evolved'.
Such as in Halo 3. I was one of the first people online to use a bubble shield as an offensive strategy. Meaning throwing a grenade into the centre and jumping out so the person inside would die or have no shields and be exposed. So for a short while I had mastered Halo 3 because of how good I was at it.
I then started playing other games for a while and half a year later I went back to Halo. Everyone was playing differently to what I remember, new strategies had been thought up. Proper sword fights had been replaced with 'B bashing' and the online felt completely different.
I'm still pretty good at Halo but nowhere near as good as I used to be.
And seriously I absolutely cannot play fighting games...
never really do good enough to pwn noobs but until someone bitches about it I don't give a damn
hell tf2 I prefer heavy cause it gives me an excuse to run in and get shot

I have the twitch for shooters but when it comes to RTS and strategy games, I am terrible. Which is weird because I love strategy games.

Seriously though, yeah, some people aren't that good at multiplayer gaming. That's why I have no interest in this whole XBox Live thing that all the kids seem to be talking about these days.
That and my internet connection has the consistency of separated Jello.
Keep in mind that playing fighting games such as SF4 pretty much sucks with the 360 controller. By far the shittiest D-pad on consoles and the analog stick does not substitute as an arcade stick.
I like coop gaming better then competitive. Favorite game atm is Castlevania HD.

ditto, i spent a sily amount of time playing f-zero x on the GC. got my death race time down to 14 seconds.Outright Villainy said:
OT, am alright at multiplayer games, dont play them often and when i do it's usually with friends (i.e. no random xbox live bs)
would probably get my ass handed to me if i played anyone who is actually any good tho.
I like to think it's not a co-incidence that COD is an anagram of OCD.
I'm ok at multiplayer games. I kind of luck out. Sometimes I'm like 36-4 TDM, most times It's a pretty even spread, maybe negative K/D.
I guess I sometimes get lucky that everyone who isn't as good as me can get dumped into the same game.
I like to think I improved with COD:WAW though.

I'd say I'm somewhere in between. For the most part I can naturally win without too much effort, but I won't be going to the top without breaking a sweat.
I love multiplayer gaming, even though i'm not usually good at it if it's competitive.
Overall I prefer single player games, for example Metroid games. Although oddly I was REALLY good at the MPH multiplayer. xD

I'm pretty much stunning at FPS's.
Love the fact that I can jump in at random TDM server on CoD 4 with my trusted MP5 and score around 80/30 but still don't win.
RTS's on the other hand I fail horribly, even if I love the genre.

You cannot jump right into anything and expect to be good, compared to others who have been doing it for awhile. When you first start any kind of online play you have to expect to lose a bunch of times.
Consider also you'll be up against a number of people who devote their lives to online gaming, and yeah, and those are the ones you tend to run into first, and the cards are stacked against you.
Probably try to play against friends when you first start out. If you don't have friends who play games, expect to lose a lot or stick to single-player. Lately, I do the latter.

I was really good at the multiplayer on Killzone 2; playing as a medic I got into the top 10% for the first week i played.
MGO: I always play terrible. I can't get used to the mix of having to sneak and having to dodge snipers whilst killing people. Also, minus points?
Call Of Duty: Meh, I always play terrible at this. Unless i just focus on bringing the choppers or planting the bomb, i always do terrible.
My friend plays much better than me in MGO and COD: he plays on insane sensitivity and just seems to know where the snipers/campers are. His reaction times are super fast and he is just naturally good. Sucks against the AI though.
