I'm not incredible, but I"m not bad, either. I tend to just stick back and play the sniper position or set up various traps/ambushes.

I took on Good, before I remember how people literally WERE running from me in Gears of War when I had The Hammer of Dawn.

Never the less, I play Halo, Left 4 Dead, Gears of War and Mass Effect.
All good games, all with good game play mechanics.

But it works very well for me in Gears of War, because a big variety of weapons have that effect on me. (Grenades, two main weapons and a secondary weapon) However, it works the best for me in Mass Effect due to an even wider variety of weapons you can hold on to at the same time.

I played a lot of Halo 3 online, got pretty good but then fell out of practice and got a life for a while. Came back to the game and found I was worse, but still had my ranking pretty high, so I got kicked around a lot. Now I'm on to Call of Duty 2 and stuff.

I'm decent, as in I don't get yelled at. Don't have a lot of time to play, so I'm not really that good. I make up for it in enthusiasm and eagerness to coordinate and cooperate.

I mostly play TF2 and L4D2. I also have CoD4 and put a few dozen hours into that, though not so much anymore.

You should see me playing WaW. I get soo into it that I kill anything that moves-for real.It's just so intense!! I get kicked 2-3 times per day because they say I'm a hacker... KDR is around 3 lol...
I suck at CoD 4 though and I'm average on MW2, although I always maintain a positive KDR..
My CS:S skills are quite rusty but I can do some damage, especially with that awesome AK

I can get kills, so I picked "Good", granted, when I was obsessed with MW2, I wasn't that great, but now that I've moved on to BC2, I'm miles better. Interesting.

In a game like Call of Duty where connection and reflexes are everything I'm pretty decent. I'll have a game where I'll own everything and one where I'll be utter shit. It really depends against what kind of team I'm playing and if I have success at camping. To bad there's no teamplay in Call of Duty and the majority of "team based" games feel like free for all.

In a game like TF2 I'm decent in the sense that I help my team. I mostly play either a sniper or an engineer. As an engi I used to be pretty bad since I NEVER built teleporters but I eventually got better. As a sniper I used to rock on every single map but the moment I got the bow and started training with I started sucking. At the moment my favorite class is the engineer and I mostly focus on him.

Now, when it comes to BC2 it's a completely different game. It's like a combination between Call of Duty and Team Fortress 2. You have your classes, each serving a specific role that help you overcome the other team by playing as a team and then you have the short to medium range encounters which rely on reflexes. I'm pretty decent and I've been enjoying the Assault class like crazy lately.

Also, if you're going to ask me for my KDR don't bother. I NEVER care about KDR in any shooter game I've ever played.

My reflexes vary but usually I'm very good at FPS games. The more I play in a day, the better I am the next day.

I play in comp, I usually average 50 kills in 20mins of a pub match of ETQW. Before people say thats naff know that killing somebody in ETQW takes much more than spray and pray in the COD games.

or on average 2.5 kills per minute, usually 6-7 kills for every death.

I am terrible, but I really enjoy playing shooters. That is why I only play single player games; usually on easier difficulties... I'm working my way through Dead Space at the moment.

When it comes to single player, I'd like to say I'm pretty good. In multiplayer though, it can range from the first to the last of the options. It depends on the game. On Modern Warfare 2 I sometimes like to play the role some people refer to as "The Gay Knifer". That has made me quite a few wins.

I've also just got Left 4 Dead 2.

I'm playing a fair bit of MW2 - starting prestige mode has made the game new and interesting again, since I feel I'm working towards things. I guess I'm reasonably good.
Also started playing TF2. And I'm awful at it...

I have a lot of FPS's, but I suck really badly at most of them, my K/D in COD: MW2 is 0.4
Sometimes I do pretty good, but it happens rarely and at random

EDIT: But on the other hand, I'm amazing at 3rd person shooters. I almost never lose at RE5 Versus, and I'm pretty good at Army of Two

Depends on the game. If it's a game like BC2 or MW2 where you die from 3 bullets, I'm twitchy enough to get close to the top, if not top, every time.

Things like TF2 which need focused fire over long periods of time I'm not *great* at, but still pretty good.

im a god at cod4 and a demi-god at cod6 but despise cod6 for its un-balancedness in the face of cod4...i am forced to play cod6 every now and then due to the fact its the only game me and my firends al have :/ i went for option 4 though because people do tend to run when i get my LMG/AK47 out

The vast majority of the games I play now-a-days are first person shooters, mostly because of how monstrously they over power the hardcore gaming industry in this day and age.

So as a result I'm pretty good at them, which is strange since I hated them before this generation (with the exception of the original Halo which i played from start to finish co-op at a friends house). I didn't use to like the strange claustrophobic feeling I got from first person, that and the FPS console market didn't really kick off until maybe 6 or so years ago.
