I seem to be great at getting other players' kill counts up, but I'm bad at shooting people...

But seriously, I'm really bad at being patient. I get in a lot of trouble trying to default weapon people to death when they have the big guns. I'm best at mid-range 1 v 1.

I don't mean to sound like a hotshot, but I am good at everything. I prefer running around the map with any weapon, but I can snipe if I need to, I am ok with a shotgun, my aim is good, I can properly use a variety of weapons.

For some reason i seem to get alot of kills for no apparent reason, however i need to concentrate extra hard. Last night i was very pissed of and me, a Rank2 on Gears 2 with my team of Rank1's went up agasinst a team of Rank40's. We lost but I got more XP and more kills than anyone on the opposing team. XD

EDIT: Yes I do realise Gears 2 is a TPS not a FPS.

I'm a pretty good light infantry unit. Either distracting the enemy and annoy them with my superior speed. Or running behind the enemy lines and attack them guerilla style.

I also like Capture the Flag games, and I often get the first cap in a game because I'm pretty quick and often catch the enemy off guard. I'm relentless after that, and surprise my enemy by a total lack of fear and a good show of bravado.

Edit: Wait, I forgot my weakest skill. My downfall is patience while defending. I just cannot stand still in FPS games. I'm not exactly bad at defending, but I stand the risk of falling asleep while doing it.

I also heavily rely on my movement while shooting and firing, so camping is out of the question for me. Oh and sometimes my rushes are a bit too suicidal, and I end up dying a couple of times too many.

Good machine guns.
Bad sniping. I can't lead the shot and I always wait for the right moment. Unfortunately I rarely realize when the moment comes. And when I am in the zone. Got the shot ready. Finger on the trigger. Some douchebag sneaks up and kills me.

Best skill: Wasting bullets (Spray and pray, all the way)
Worst skill: Dodging (You can't head butt a flying bullet, apparently)

Good: getting looooooong killing sprees with any class, in any game, with any weapon.
Bad: when I'm not getting killing sprees.. things go sometimes bad, very bad. Morale sinking?

Strong Suit: Driving. I started playing racing games way sooner than 1st/3rd person shooters (Gaming for a good while.)so I've become a crafty wheelman in a fast vehicle (Oh man the things I've done in Warhawk in a 4x4 jeep or a dropship.) :) doing flag carrier pick-ups or hunting the enemies carrier I'd say I've never had the pleasure of someone else being able to get me to our base in one piece if i get the flag and not driving myself.

Weakest Role:Dedicated Sniping I can do it every now and againin a decent sized room but can't do it the whole round (Not that I'm trying to.)but at times I even scare myself how good/lucky some of the shots I got we're. Also I have terrible luck with 1-hit melee attacks face-offs.

Im best at assaulting and taking an objective. I have an uncanny ability to run straight into gunfire and not seem to get hit.
I am terrible at either grenades or sniping. its like i suddenly develop stupid fingers. Ive killed myself with grenades in Halo so many times its not funny.

i got a really good aim, but im always a little too cocky. also im shit at driving most things.

and in all games that isnt the COD series, i prefer iron sights over scopes (except for a few guns).

I'm best at tactical planning and command, which usually only comes into play in games like Battlefield. Give me a team of guys who will obey orders and are competent and I'll lead them to victory. I can also apply this to less commander-oriented games like Team Fortress 2 where I can coordinate tactical strikes on an opposing side's weak spots (the problem is getting guys who'll listen to me). This is because I'm more of a natural RTS player than FPS.

My worst skill is battlefield perception. I'm constantly getting blindsided by people I don't see coming. I'm also pretty bad at leading fire on fast targets.

My weakest skill is probably scouting or being among the first to engage the enemy up close. If I do that I seem to become a bullet-magnet.
I'm at my best when providing support from a distance (mid range machine gun or long range sniping,) or when playing the flanking and mop-up role.

My best skill is that I'm fucking awesome!

My worst is... You know what, who am I kidding... I'm not bad at anything when it comes to... Well, anything to be fair... Yeah, I'm pretty awesome now that I think about it.
