In tf2 i do pretty damn well, but i play that obsessively. In nearly any other shooter I suck ass. Then again, every other shooter I have is on a console. I hate sticks for shooting games, feels so clunky...
Poll: How good are you at shooters? And what shooter games do you play mostly these days?

I'd go for somewhere between decent and good, depending on how much I've been playing recently. Can handle my own, sometimes I do really rather well.
Get some phet in me and I will absolutely DESTORY.

Good to Decent. My KDR on BFBC2 is 1.22. I consider that a plus, since it's usually around the low .5-somethings. My play style is generally not what is usually found in online shooters. I stack on doors and windows, break corners, perform dynamic entries, move in formation. A lot of other people lone-wolf or run-and-gun.
BC2's online play is pleasing me, though. I'm liking it a hell of a lot more than MW2's online side.

I get along, kill to death ratio is usually in balance, perhaps leaning a bit to the "kill" side. I'm not bad, but not great either.
I'm very good at shooters. I I have a solid aim and fantastic situational awareness, so I'm usually adept at finding and hitting people at bullets. I fairly regularly top the leaderboards in most servers I play on, so I'm definitely above average, because it's unlikely that by picking random servers I'd frequently end up playing against those that aren't very good at shooters. Much of this skill seems to be natural talent, however. I plateau quite quickly, and it's a struggle to get much better than I am currently, though I have encountered many such people who are significantly better than I am. I think my biggest weakness is that although I am good at knowing where the battle is, and where enemies and allies are, I'm not so good at co-ordinating with my allies. I'm very shy, so I don't speak over the mic much. This means I end up playing as a bit of a lone wolf, and I could be more useful to my team. I don't hang back and snipe, but I tend to still run off in my own attack.
Depends. I can have really good games and really bad games. I voted decent, but I can still win a couple of free-for-alls here or there.
I don't know. I'm reasonably good at Halo, but I don't have any idea how I would match up against a "good" player in anything else. I never play for score anyway, I only play games to enjoy myself, so I usually don't get what people are on about when they mention "noob" weapons or tactics. I just use what I find most fun.
I think I'm pretty good at shooters. Of course it all really depends on the game and if I'm lucky or not.
Recently, I've been playing Modern Warfare 2 (which I'm selling for Bad Company 2, it finally made me angry enough), Battlefield 1943, and Borderlands.
The only thing I'm going to miss in MW2 is playing with my friends, and wrecking at Free-For-Alls but enjoying BC2 should make up for all of that.

I handle myself fine.
Here's a metaphor:
I'm like that one nameless faceless grunt in every FPS ever. I can handle myself fine, just don't be surprised if I get shot.
My average KDR is around .85.
[sub] 1.8 in Bioshock 2. [/sub]

I said good, but that's mostly because I'm out of practice. Back in the day, I wrecked at Battlefield 2142. I also played Call of Duty 4, but MW2 makes me sad.
If I was to go back to competative shooters, I'd play Battlefield 2142 some more.

I'm not bad as a fps player. My aim is pretty good and I've got very fast reflexes. Currently I'm playing Bad Company 2. I think I'll stop playing it after 3-4 months, just like MW2. I do that with nearly every fps. The only one I play constantly is css.
I'm pretty good. My KDR is usually around 1.10-1.20 on most games, sometimes higher. Unreal Tournament, Killzone 2, Bioshock 2, Aliens vs. Predator, MAG, BC2 are the main ones I've played online in recent years, though I had a short stint on Deus Ex and TF2. Oh and Bio1, Half Life and Borderlands in a non-compettitive sense.
I cannot stand any CoD game.
I'm probably better on 3rd person games like Warhawk and Uncharted though.

I'm excellent at shooters and balance it almost daily with probably every major type:
The Hardcore - Counter-strike:Source on lightly modded servers with around 24 - 36 people. Need I introduce the most skill-based shooter? I tend to remind every1 there is a shotgun by headshotting them with some good pump-action across rooms.
Class-based Combat - Team Fortress 2 on usually dustbowl/goldrush or good custom maps. Love spying and my friends will argue its my favorite class but I mainly go what the team needs or support (albeit very much the driving force of the team) with a good kniving.
Survival Shooter - Left 4 Dead 2 where me and a good friend of mine are usually having to handle expert on our own :/ but we have managed to beat 2 campaigns on expert and the expert-realism achievement. We can beat advanced with no problem and even get careless. The AI Director hates us now, it does some really ridiculous seemingly unreasonable measures outside the difficulty level to kill us.
Edit for some abnormal AI Director actions: Two witches per stage, tank in the safe room, same infected coming in pairs, no advanced guns until later stages, same special infected spawning after dying (not working in pair).
The best part: both me and my friend throw it back in its face by killing the two bots (really useless) and then taking all the supplies for ourselves, surviving the stage, and even healing in very inappropriate moments when we find healthpacks (rollercoaster - two healthpacks, can anyone resist?).

I used to rule at TF2 on 360 until it stopped being played all that much. (Well, I'm sure I could still rule, just don't play anymore...) Almost always in the top two in standings, with a nice balanced collection of contributory stats.
Other than that, I'm only a fair to middling player in everything else. I'll score well enough to keep others from being pissed with me, but hardly ever better than middle-of-the-road, and often pretty low-down on the listing....especially if you're talking MW or MW2. I'm just no good at them...

Completely inconsistent.
I'll come first overall 4 games in a row and the next day won't even be able to go positive.
My MW2 K
was 1.57, I don't know or care what it is in Bad Company 2 because it doesn't mean shit except that if it's high you're probably an annoying Recon who doesn't spot.
I wish I knew how to always stay good but alas, it ain't gonna happen.

I'm generally decent, I usually get more kills than deaths... I'm not going to send anyone running away in fear, and their not going to remember my tag in terror, but I can handle myself reasonably well in most shooters.
Granted, I've never gotten so ridiculously into a game that I've memorized all the best paths or anything, so I usually start getting my ass handed to me by ultra-skilled 12 year olds when I come back to the game after a few months of something else.
On the non-multiplayer front, though, I've beaten every shooter I've played on the hardest difficulty setting at least once. Does that count for anything?
