Mutual Gaming

[DEATHMASTER]

Has gaming in one game improved your skill in another game? I noticed that I got a bit better with my aim in UT2004 thanks to some high flying CSS action.

I started sucking BAD at UT2k4 after playing CS:S.

--
Oh, but when I played CoD2 on XBox I absolutely owned. Before CS:S I was mediocre at console FPS.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

lol, I can see how that can happen though. I think for me it was a lot more about the adrenaline, I played UT2004 right after finishing up with CSS. And I guess moving faster with scout/compact does keep me from moving too slow, which is something that you must have in a fast paced game like UT.

 

[Jintor]

Yeah, after too much Deathmatch HL2 I couldn't play normal HL2 anymore. I was spazzing out looking for super fast enemies and Combine were just like *BLMA* dead.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

lol becoming an unmutual gaming thread.

Half-life 2 improved my CS skillz, but playing CS raped my Quake skillz. ;(

Has gaming in one game improved your skill in another game? I noticed that I got a bit better with my aim in UT2004 thanks to some high flying CSS action.

Yeah I've been playing a lot of MTA: SA and I tried playing Mafia, and I had to have two attempts at levels. Quite shameful seen as I've played through it over 9000 times and used to be able to go through them all without loseing less then 25 health units.

After playing Operation Flashpoint and Thief, all other so-called 'stealth' levels in any other game seem to be a breeze.

after playing fps like rainbow six,now I am worse in more acade tipe of fps like ut2004

After playing BF1942 for 4 1/2 years, I've learned to lead my enemies in almost every game I play, not jump like a retard as much in games like UT2004, to be patient when using a sniping weapon, to drive carefully in games with vehicles, and that usually waiting around for vehicles to spawn will result in your demise.

It's a scientific fact(source: me) that playing games in life will undoubtedly spur inside you the ability to get over the learning curves of most other games which share genres. This can be seen in the fact that parents who play games after encouragement from their kids, generally suck. Why? Because they have no previous experience and thus have to go through the long and lengthly process we did over our entire childhood.

UT2004 made my aim godlike in pretty much all games

 

[ComradeBadger]

Playing HLDM/AG/Op4DM gave me leet movement/aiming/reaction skill

 

[Beerdude26]

I guess that tactical redeployment in Empires gave me an edge when I tried out the BF2142 demo.

SWAT4 also gave me leet tactical nading skills, which I often use in F.E.A.R.

 

[Dekstar]

Playing Op4 with badger gave me no skills whatsoever, because I kept dying. And I don't really play many other games except CSS. BF1942 might have increased my shooting ability, but I don't think it has.
Ooh ooh, but playing something like CSS I think has improved my aim in games like Jetman revival. I went to my mates' house after he downloaded that, and he got angry at me for being able to long-range missle him.

 

[Remus]

Heheh well I can say that after playing Q3 so much it's greatly improved my aiming skills in all FPS. Also it's always funny as hell to try out Quake "tactics" in other more realistic games: *bunny hop bunny hop, strafe strafe, boom* Combine: WTF?!

 

[Rapstah]

This may sound strange, but playing Quake improved my HL2 skills.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Hmm... playing KotoR made me actually able to understand some of the D&D lingo (saving throws etc.) used in it and some other RPGs. Seeing as it was the only one that bothered to explain it in layman's terms

Meh, dunno. Never really played more than one FPS at once. If I want to get good at one, I just play it more ^_^

 

[Evo]

Playing HLDM/AG/Op4DM gave me leet movement/aiming/reaction skill

Oh god don't remind me!

D:


<3

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Damn, looks like it really paid off, first time I got godlike (25 kills in a row w/out dying) in an online match for some time.

 

[_Z_Ryuken]

I think you just wanted to post your player's ass.

 

[Danimal]

MMO's ruined what little skill I had in FPS. :<

 

[DEATHMASTER]

I think you just wanted to post your player's ass.

Oh if I wanted that, I could've done much better

 

[AKIRA]

i remember in teh DooM days, i played with the arrow keys and shift and hte ctrl + alt keys..lmao

it wasn't until DooM 3 until I switchd to playing with mouse/ wsad haha

 

[DEATHMASTER]

It's at times like these I wonder how I didn't switch to ESDF/ non-arrows when I first heard of it, it's hard to break old habits, but I got used to it, especially since it makes everything so much easier with not moving the keyboard to the left and all.

 

[_Z_Ryuken]

You know what's weird, is in the past couple days, I have been accidentally defaulting my fingers to ESDF. My hand just feels more comfortable there.
