And my sniper example was just one. And really, I can't view anything as playing like a sissy...it's a freaking video game for god's sake. I guess I just have the attitude who ever wins wins. Force of course being the exception. Might be the only game play mode where there are so few ways to dislodge campers. No-scoping is generally not considered a very valid technique just because it's so wildly inaccurate on most games. It's an "OHHHH SHIIIII" moment where you instinctively click. Also, MW2 can't even be dragged into a discussion about techniques in competition, purely because MW2 comp was a joke. Quick scoping is a generally better option (if you're good with it) just because it's an instantaneous kill in many games, where as even the strongest assault rifles take 1.5-3 seconds to kill a person.
I would say no force definitely takes more skill though.
Overall, I'm with Haas. :P CoD series (up through 4), Battlefield series, and TF2 are where it's at. I just like arguing with you SWBF2 fruit cakes. :)
Eh, just because its a video game doesn't mean you can't play like a sissy. If you drop yourself down to a subpar level just to win, you are a sissy. If you use units considered more broken or overpowered than the rest in tourny matches, you are a sissy. You can argue this until you are blue in the face and you'd never be remotely close to right. Sissies are sissies. You have bad experiences with MW2 because your community sucks, therefore you feel MW2 blows. However, the small community I played in was fantastic and lively, very fun to be a part of and was definitely not a joke. We all had great times, and if you had played with Blaster and I you might have felt different. You just fell victim to peer pressure and what the masses felt, public servers sucked, private servers in mw2 were great in my experience. Im sure everyone had different experiences but just because yours sucked balls doesnt mean everyone else's did as well.
slight of hand pro for fast aiming + stopping power pro for your pick of an assault rifle ( one tap = death ) + steady aim pro for accuracy is immensely superior to quick scoping. Especially if you swap out stead aim pro for Ninja pro. Nobody that good in my experiences ever used quickscoping over an Arc or AK with stopping power lol...if anything is beastly or overpowered, its f-ing stopping power pro with the Arc or ak...
I just dont see how force requires more skill. Maybe you can explain that to me over xfire sometime, in my experiences all the players I've 1v1ed in a force match played like women. Hiding on a roof top waiting for me to come up and get myself killed, never attacking first and making the match drag on for way too long, abusing ramps and certain bounces to avoid getting stunned from the force attack and a host of other stupid things that i hated so much, i just had to stop playing the mode.
