Where did you get Domination from? TDM and Domination are enirely different gamestyles. And when the killcap in a TDM game is placed at 5000 then it's pretty easy to get a killscore between 70-100+.MiracleOfSound said:

I avoid playing multiplayer FPS games mostly because I don't want to know. I'm a bit of a chicken.
I also don't reckon I'd much like practicing. If I have to work at getting good at a game, I think I would become very angry, very quickly when I went online and still sucked.
The only multiplayer FPS I have played with any regularity is Halo. I'm never the worst player, never the best. If I'm very lucky, I'll have an amazing game, where all my shots seem to land just where they should, and I am like number 2 in kills.
But I consider it a good game if I have more kills than deaths. I can generally make this happen, unless I'm up against a team of skilled players who are basically spending an hour raping everyone who happens to get matched against them.
My numbers get better if I am working with people and they are actually interested in team work. I'm good at following directions.

I got Domination because in COD it seems to be the norm these days to join a game of Dom when one wants to get high KLordmarkus said:
ratios. This is the trend on Youtube anyway (hence my jumping to the conclusion that you were playing that mode and just going for kills)I'm not that great at most types of games, but shooters tend to just happen to work around me. It's not that I'm really that good, I just somehow seem to know where people and things are going to happen in a game ahead of time. So I plan accordingly and set up little ambushes, flanking positions, kill boxes, etc.
I think it comes from the fact that I only buy about one game a year, so I get obsessed and know everything about a game after a while. Like who the Blue Spy is disguised as right now.

Aha... lol that does sound kinda boring but whatever people enjoy!Z(ombie)fan said:
See, this is the right attitude, and one I used to have. I don't know why the more I get the greedier I get, as in the longer I play the more kills and better scores I want... when actually I should just be proud of going positivemeganmeave said:
im definitely above average, but as i play more and more games, my skill in other games somewhat get worse (due to different speeds/controls, and considering all these games are on different consoles/pc), but after one round i usually catch right back on and usually always have at least a 1.5 k/d, if not a 2-3k/d ratio.
there are some games that i do suck at, street fighter i do admit to doing button mashing on, mortal kombat i play somewhat strategically (but i do get fucking annihalated online)
rts's im somewhere around average (which i dont like too many rts's as it is) so just depends.
im def. above average (but not godlike) for some stuff, but average for others
its hard to tell sometimes..i have some odd friends that excel like no other in the most oddest games. (such as diddy kart racing, goldeneye, yoshi story,etc..) all very odd..

i can generally pick up any game and start doing well on it in just a few games. unless its a racing or sim management game i just cant play those for some reason
ive played cod4 enough now on promod that i can usually join a random server and dominate everyone everyone on it as long as
1) the server isnt about 32 man
2) my team isnt atrociously shit e.g. getting penned into the top corner of crash (you know where i mean)

Man, I love Crash but goddamn that is one terribly designed corner.hawkeye52 said:
When that happens I just switch to ninja class and kill whore from the building, it's all you can do really.
Same thing tends to happen in the back room on Vacant, and the A flag on Terminal.
You should be proud of going positive. I know a few people who have trouble even getting positive. And, the more organized your opponents, the harder it is to do.MiracleOfSound said:See, this is the right attitude, and one I used to have.

Also, I'm sure I would make you proud. If we ever play one of these games together, you will feel like Captain Awesome when you compare your score to mine.
Well, I was damn proud today... 5 games in a row I was top of my team against an organised clan and the only single person who went positive on my team in two of those 5.meganmeave said:You should be proud of going positive.

Plus, my score on the last one was 24-1! Woohoo! I quit then, as I wanted to maintain my good feeling.
Hang on... I just realised that this has absolutely no impact on my real life in any way. Oh well.
Haha! Well, at least you are aware of that. Too bad it's harder to convince ourselves of that fact if we do poorly.MiracleOfSound said:
Really, I think it depends for me. Playing Uncharted 2, I can have insanely good streaks where I wreck the battlefield. Other matches I barely get a kill. Might be me, might be the people I play against! I dunno, doesn't matter, I have fun though.
I tend to rely on talent to understand almost "from the box" any game mechanic thrown at me, be it the infamous "cover system" or the "run and gun" more obvious one, or the FPS strategy of "let them waste amo and run to melee them to dead" kamikaze style (wich is fairly good to make your opponent scream like a baby)
but once i start to not give a damn about the game, my skills start to decay, i know every twist and turn on the game, and it stopped being funny like 2 years ago, so i just stop and move on
but if i ever go back to that same game a few years back, i suck at it, seriously, its like i never even played the damn thing, i know everything there is to know about the game, mechanics, maps, anything, but it just got to the point where i cant do a damn thing right!!!
some say its lack of practice, but even if i spend the next 3 months playing day by day that same game (wich is torture because i already know everything there is to know on the game) i will not get better in a visible way
oh!, but i´m kicking ass in the new game that came out 3 days ago
i guess its more in line with "keeping my mind estimulated with new things", because once its old, i get bored easily
it goes like this, "the game is new, i like it, it keeps me interested, i learn from it, it starts getting boring, i get to know everything there is to know about it, i move on to a new game" and the cycle repeats untill i find a f%&king awesome game like TLOZ:OOT or TLOZ:MM, games that i just have to play once a year or i feel i wasted a year.
EDIT: ANOTHER GOOD EXAMPLE is that i finished Rock Band in expert guitar, but i cant seem to be able to repeat the deed...
weird :S
