"Give me Victory, or give me death" pretty much sums up the goal of any shooter...ANY shooter. Whether it goes from sniping heads from miles away or stabbing that punk-y lizard foe in the face....Victory is your goal, and Death is either right behind or right in front.
People call shooters senseless violence that trigger MOST of the teenage/college shootings because they think just because the dude has a copy of Halo or something...they just blame the freakin game...well for one thing...Shooters are not senseless...but SENSEFUL. Sure shooters take brains and a keen mind to flourish at...but your best friends are your eyes, ears, and by goodness your quick-reflex hands. You'd be amazed how many times I won a "one-on-one" because I knew the exact moment that I needed to slice that "dude". Given also the immense self-ego-boosting nature after you gotten your hefty killstreaks or your foe is scripted to run away due to his squad is totally slaughtered by your l337 sk3llz.
Not to say these games aren't better with tactics...having friends and "clannies" to play with makes the game quite fun, if not a "pwn-fest". That said many people (cough like my bro cough) see clan groups as nothing but cheap groups of people whose only motive is to have everyone rage quit...to be honest though...they are quite correct. As the "thing person" in Republic Commando would say it "We hunt in pods to take down much larger prey"...Darn right sista! Pwnage in groups is well...PWNAGE 2 TEH MAXX!
Now getting back to our skill assessment, if you don't got brains or a quick knee-jerk reflex that triggers in your brain to get that "I Killedz him?" one-on-one kill....know your weapons...YOUR WEAPONS DARN IT! Everyone who has played shooters even occasionily should know the rock-paper-shooters of their arsenal...Snipers can kill from far away...machine guns are great at multiple targets, and shotguns are good at blasting ....well...PRETTY MUCH everything within 5 feet of ya(and boy do I love that booming sound).
Of course, people who don't get the Rock-paper-scissors are mostly "whiners"....like dude...If you keep just running at the sniper at a mile away...OF COURSE he has the freaking advantage ya nitwit! If you see some dude with a shotgun...or you think he has a shotgun...BAAAACK OOOOFF DUUUUDE because he's gonna blow ya to kingdom come and back.
Now you might be thinking..."What is this guy getting at???"...Well..my friends...I have just explained...THE ART OF THE SHOOTER..
Bye for now :P
