What's your strongest and weakest skill in an FPS?

[Lukeydoodly]

Strongest: Being a credit to team! Learning the strategies to the game real quick and helping out team mates. (Mostly applies to TF2 as in CoD you never really get the chance to help someone else out).

Weakest: Sniping. I used to be great at it, but now my timing is ruined.

 

[Unknower]

Strongest: Minestomping. Being a human shield. Kamikaze.

Weakest: Ummm... errr... I don't understand this part of the question.

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

Worst: Dealing with campers. I have a horrible, awful habit of continually rushing when I know someone is camping. I don't try new routes, I don't try new strategy, I just rush straight at him and try to out-skill him. Obviously this gives that guy free kills, and gives me nerd rage fits when I fruitlessly bang my head against the wall (or in this case, the guy sitting on the corner with an SMG).

Just played a CoD4 round that went exactly like that...except I killed that fucker.

I'm a passable assault, mostly because I secretly try to play everything like Unreal or Quake. I can be a decent all-arounder in Halo 3, but I just have to get myself into that "don't go running around guns a-blazin'" mindset.

Just don't ask me to snipe or avoid snipers. If that rifle wasn't in the game, I'd be GOLDEN, man. Also, I can't stand shotgun kids. Eesh.

 

[dnnydllr]

I use iron sights like a mother. When others are sniping from across the map, I'm using a bolt action rifle from across the map. My weakest point is how easily pissed off I can become.

 

[51gunner]

Best: Mid-to-close range tango with an automatic weapon.

Runner up: Vehicular carnage.

Worst: Sniping. I get really bored sitting in one place. I either spend too much time worrying about my ass and never shoot anyone, or too much time trying to hit someone and get my ass knifed.

This is all pretty general though, you'd have to ask for a specific game to get a better answer out of me.

 

[Bentjacket]

Best: Taking quick snap-shots at people, killing a few, then dashing off to another vantage point to repeat. I can do this almost indefinitely in the Titans in 2142 maps. I'm also not half-bad at piloting.

Worst: Finding a viable spawn point. I swear, some days it's like *spawn*-*dead*-*spawn*-*dead*-*spawn*-*dead*-*pick another spawn point*-*spawn*-*dead*-*spawn*-*dead*-etc. I've had that happen for a solid 45 minutes before. My death count by the end of the match was 154. I'm just happy it was on an unranked server.

Funny you should say that, because I play every game like I play Halo 2. Jump a lot, try to be unpredictable in your movements, run and gun as much as humanly possible even while sniping. I'm that crazy fucker who rushes you with an ACOG M40. It's not a particularly effective strategy against experienced players, but it's fun!

 

[tmo99]

strongest skill: probably being up close and personal. I usually get a good streak before im put down.

Weakest Skill: For some reason, sniping. I guess I don't have enough patience to be a sniper cause I just suck at it.

 

[On3Winged4ng3l]

Strongest: i would have to say, stealth
Weakest: Shotguns... Close Range combat...

 

[Bendebec]

Best: SMGing everything, or stealth shotgun (COD 4) Pyro (COD WAW) Spy (TF2) Assault (Killzone 2)

Worst: It's odd, on the call of duty series, I can snipe, Even though it jiggles your aim around, but every other shooter, i can't snipe for the life of me

 

[Ibanez887]

Im really good with explosives/mid range fighting
I can snipe about as good as I can make a bomb T-bone steak
And I do not know how to make a bomb T-bone steak

 

[Mullahgrrl]

Worst: Shooting people without being shot.

Best: spelling.

 

[mad benji89]

best at rushing and killing up close
worse at long rang and spotting them before they blow my head of with a sniper

 

[Draco Kaiser]

My strongest is that I have really good luck in grenades and sometimes good at melee. My weakest is sniping because of my impatientness and fast-paced action since I'm slow to react...which sucks cause I die all the time lol

 

[TheMadDoctorsCat]

Please guys, don't start the "OMG! THIS REQUIRES MORE SKILL THAN THIS OR THIS OR THIS OR THIS OR THIS!" bullshit. I just want to make a thread where people can discuss their strengths and weaknesses without bashing someone.

I'm at my best when I'm sniping. I'm able to accurately predict where my round is going to land when obstacles like distance and elevation are apparent.

I'm at my worst when I'm playing as an assaulter. My reaction time is decent, but most of the time I just end up spraying and praying when I get surprised.

I'm at my best when I'm sneaking around looking for opportunities to surprise someone with my flamethrower or backstab.

I'm at my worst when trying to aim a precise shot at someone's head. I still don't know how people manage it without cheating (the cynical answer is that most probably don't.)

 

[neocenturion]

I'm at my best sniping, particularly supporting an assault on squeeze points or objectives. I always find a great elevated position and open up gaps for the advance.

I'm at my worst leading the assault. I always seem to run straight into 3 or 4 opponents - even when going what I thought was 'the back way' - and get destroyed before I can react.

 

[Clirck]

Now let's put a bucket of fryed chicken there run up the hill and wait a enemy to come and eat. And then kaboom, head shot or kaboom bucket of C4.

Well good at sniping and planted explosives.
Bad, close gunfights.

 

[Davey Woo]

Good at: Getting snuck up on, getting killed by lag, getting killed by a grenade that nobody threw/dropped etc, having guns that don't work, being spotted through visual impairments (e.g. smoke, flashes etc), being ganged up on and dying.

OK sorry I'll be serious.

Good: support roles (suppressive fire, vehicle gunner/driver, distractions)
Bad: staying alive for very long (see above)

 

[irishstormtrooper]

I'm best when defending a single point, whether it be at close or long range.

I'm terrible at staying alive when facing a vehicle, however.

 

[Crowghast]

[b\]Good Traits:[/b] I've got a talent for leading targets, predicting movements, and guesswork. I'm also good at making reflexive decision-making. I'm good at close-combat. My best trait of them all is the ability to hunt enemies. (Or chase them around in circles)
I'm competent in most class-roles. (If they're in the game) Lastly, i'm able to remain calm during matches.

[b\]Bad Traits:[/b] I don't do teamwork. (Not unless everyone's serious about it) I don't follow plans, strategies, or conventionally accepted terms of engagement. I actively seek to go against them. I don't do tanks or heavy vehicles, I hate being a large, slow-moving target. I don't do waiting, ambushing, staking-out, defending, or anything akin to it. (I also have a strong distrust of cover-systems) And I suck at long-distance combat.


I think that's it.
