Ok, to start off, I am Effilctar aka g3n3r4l WTF, and I am terrible at FPS online multiplayer. in all of possibly 9 hours of playing Modern warfare 2, I'm only level 21 and got my first harrier strike approximately 20 minutes ago. I admit, I am bad at FPS's, and what gets on my nerves even more than arrogant good players, is bad players who will blame anyone but themselves, often blaming their team or lag.

An example would be playing CTF today, I met a lvl 30-something, whatever prestige he was, who at the end of the game had 9 kills and 20 deaths. The first thing he did was blame his team for his lack of kills, claiming that he plays good if he is with a good team.
Now, sorry, but I always thought that a player's skill made them good at a game, not the people they play with, and if you do need a team to help you play good then you're not a very good player, are you?

Have my fellow Escapians had similar experiences?

Mmmm... I play L4D, and it takes just one guy to mess things up for the team when playing the harder difficulties. So this may be an exception. Obviously in games such as CoD or CS:S, it's pretty much everyman for himself and the blame can't be shifted as much.

I suck at fps but it won't stop me from playing.
Not going to blame anyone for my own lack of any gaming skills.

I'm bad at FPS's when I first get them. Given a day or so (and the actual want to do well), I will be at the top of the score boards.

(However I suck at PC shooters that aren't COD)

I play tf2 a lot, and some people just can't understand the "team" part.

So we just lost horribly in a payload map, and one of our spies (one of our 4 spies, the lowest on the list) says, "you guys suck" then he goes on to tell our only sniper (the highest scorer on our team) to go medic.

around 4 people said "why dont you go medic". Then he left.

I'll gladly admit when I am doing terrible in games, and I will gladly admit that it's my fault and my fault alone.

Most people will go "OH MY GAAAAAWD!!!!" (Andrew Leack *cough*) and blame the enemies weapons (Michael Fulkerson *cough*). To become better you have to identify the reason you died and think of a way to overcome it.

I hate to admit that sometime I am quick to blame the lag. But before you burn me at the stake you should know that my ping at lowest is usually 150-175 while I'm playing against people with pings in the 20's and 30's so I think I'm kinda justified in that respect.

I have a friend who refuses to admit it, even though he rarely gets a 1:1 ratio when playing Modern Warfare 2. He's godawful.

I'm not all that great either, but I'm not absolutely terrible.

ive played cod 3, 4, 5, and now 6 (or MW2) online. at first i wasnt good but my k/d spread has gotten better with each game and right now im +2000 overall on MW2. One of my frends got an xbox for christmas, literally 5 days ago, and will not shut up about how hes "catching on so quick" and "catching up to us faster than we learned the game" he almost always goes negative and just says stupid stuff like "all you guys do is camp, i play the game right" or "i was protecting you guys while you got kills and you guys always let them shoot me in the back when they came from the other direction"

FPS isn't really my preferred, and I'm only just, albeit a bit forcefully from friends, getting into the online FPS area. I'm still fairly rubbish, I'm not as quick with the controls, and sometimes I have to think about what I'm doing, but, hey, I'm getting better. :)

Their loss, getting frustrated for failing will only make you fail more as you don't think clearly.
This is why when I have clan matches if ever someone gets stressed out and annoyed i'll just tell em take it easy and we'll get em next round.

One of my friends, who I think has an escapist profile now, has such difficulty playing left 4 dead coop with anyone he doesn't know because of the general level of suck that he usually just creates friends only or local games.

I try not to get frustrated at a team full of snipers or Spies in TF2 and I "usually" don't. I always play the class that I feel best suits the current map situation and sometimes I'm good at it, and sometimes I'm not.

Whatever's best for the team though, you know?

Here's a few suckwads in denial:

Many of them, at least.
You know the original idea for the Xbox was to be the console version of a PC....hence the name direct-xbox...

It's a good thing Microsoft never imported the mouse and keyboard scheme into console FPS gameing.

Considering how much faster reaction times for PC fraging is....the pace would have killed them...=(

Thanks, whenever I play I always hate those guys that go 3-12 and tell me (I always end up top 3 if not first) it's my fault the team lost and how I suck. I don't play with my Mic on so i never say a word. I just have it blasted to me every game I play. It also exlains why 70% of people avoid me... I don't talk, team kill or anything. For some reason they avoid me for being "unsporting" what a load. But anyways I don't mind if you're bad, as long as you don't try to bug me about how terrible I am in comparison.

Oh and btw, fps doesn't come with natural talent. I have very weak motor skills, i'm good because i started playing the cod series when it first came out and have gotten every game and played through each one online and offline. It just takes practice. You will get better trust me.
