infiniti029 said:The game, like any, takes PLENTY of skill if you want to excel at a high level. The amount of coordination, strategy, and teamwork involved can be a lot. Yeah I admit, the aiming system sucks, but just because a game is different in the style of play dosn't mean it's full of "noobs".
Yeah, I'm not trying to brag, but A LOT of people who play BF seem like the smoked a fat joint before they started playing. They just run off aimlessly looking for a vehicle to run their teammates over with unknowingly. Total retards, they don't read the chat at all, they don't hear stuff, just completely worthless.brucedeluxe169 said:the average battlefield player simply isnt as good at fast paced gameplay that requires good mvoement and aim like a quake or unreal player is.
my friends and I are all excellent Quake 3 players, and the few times we played battlefield together online, we absolutely owned everything, i mean complete annihilation coming from nothing other than our quake skills, and the low bar for skill that exists in the battlefield servers. Its uber popular *because* it is so easy, and skill seperation isn't nearly as drastic as it is in quake or unreal.

"Professional gaming" is just another thing among the many other STUPID things we waste our time/money on in America. It's really sad how screwed up some peoples' priorities are.
I have to add though, the "professional gaming" thing isn't anywhere near the top of this list of "things."
If you get paid to play games, I think you are one lucky SOB! That's my dream job, shiiiit.

And I usually do come up in the top 3 because most (I'd say 50%+) people who play battlefield just don't know how to play games at all it seems. They seem to never learn either! I've juked up to a lot of people with just a knife and they couldn't kill me with their primary weapons.
I've said this too many times to count "Damn, how can you suck THAT bad?"
brucedeluxe169 said:because it isnt a skill based game like Quake or Unreal
characters move too slow, aim isn't so determined by the individual player, etc....
battlefield is for, and played by, noobs
infiniti029 said:I wasn't talking about pub play, I was talking about matches with clans. Pub play is worthless. This game isn't about your KDR, and it's easy as hell to rackup your score by doing things other than shooting people.
"the average battlefield player simply isnt as good at fast paced gameplay that requires good mvoement and aim like a quake or unreal player is."
- I can agree with that because the precision needed for aiming in this game dosn't mean much. It's all about teamwork, and tactics. Plus you have to worry about things like helicopters, and tanks. It's my assumption that the number of veterans playing Quake/UT in a pub today is of a much higher percentage than those that play CSS, or BF.

Naruto said:Because its a team game you noob. There is individual skill combined with the team skill also. Cant be a rambo and support the whole team on your own shoulders in bf.
I actually agree w/ this guy. playing UT2k4 Instagib for about a year made me an extraordinary FPS player.brucedeluxe169 said:the average battlefield player simply isnt as good at fast paced gameplay that requires good mvoement and aim like a quake or unreal player is.

brucedeluxe169 said:lol thats the thing though... it really isn't hard to figure out the "tactics" needed to win a game like that... i mean seriously, when it comes to teamplay, Battlefield is not ANY deeper than UT2004's Onslaught.... yet the combat, the handling of your weapons and character are nowhere near as skill based.
And if you want to talk REAL strategy, try Rocket Arena 2v2 or 3v3.... THAT is real team based, and it requires shitloads of strategy and coordination to come out on top against a talented team.
I was on a really good team for BF1942. The strats our team leader came up with were just incredible and so detailed I wondered how the guy had time to come up with them so fast in the week we had to practice. We won almost every match we played, mainly because of the strats...they were pure awesomeness. We didn't have all the best players, but the strats really did help the team win.Naruto said:Rocket Arena map strats vs any BF2/2142 map isnt even comparable. Go play a 8v8 or 12v12 cal match in bf2/2142 and get back with me.

be warned though you will probably get crushed if you try and play a very good player.
