So recently my Call of Duty performance has been greatly dropping and I've been playing the same amount of time. Then I experimentally played Halo. Each game I get at least 15 kills, and on a good game I get 25 or something. Even when I play objective I usually am right at the top of the leaderboards. But the one thing I want is to not be good at Halo and be good at Call of Duty. I've played Halo way before my first CoD and no matter what I can't stop the fact that I'm just not good enough for anyone online that I play on CoD. No matter how much time I put in, I'm just hardwired for Halo.
It's like, I just love a cowboy
You know
I'm just like, I just, I know, it's bad
But I'm just like
Can I just like, hang off the back of your horse
And can you go a little faster?!
Call of Duty is way different, it's a game where nobody has fun unless they're doing good or they are good in general. If someone's doing bad they're not having fun whatsoever.
I completed Super mario World again the other day and I said to myself "I'm rather good at this"
I find my gaming skill has diminished over time,I was a far better gamer in my early/mid teens.I can tell this by how hard I find some 16 bit games now that I used to breeze through back in the day.If you're not so young anymore that's probably why you're losing all the time.I'd say the majority of those playing COD online are in that age group hence your lack of skill.If you are under 20 though then there is no excuse,you're just not very good at it

I'm actually really young, though I'd prefer not to say my age, and I feel like my reflexes should be better. I am in that "no excuse" range though.
It's actually the other way around for me. I play CoD better than Halo. From my experience, Halo is more reliant on team work, which means I get screwed over by my team mates from time to time. Halo is just a more open game that relies on confrontation. You can lay mines and stuff in CoD. They are just different games. Big team battle is really where the strategy is in Halo, IMO. Halo 4 and Reach are probably the best Halo multiplayer experiences.

And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)

dude, if you're not having fun playing a video game, and you're not competing for money/prizes... what the hell are you doing? just getting stressed out playing a war simulator in your own room and not even having FUN, which is the whole point of playing games. the crap the other 2 companies put out on their consoles aren't designed to be fun, or even video games, really. they're designed to be simulations, ''interactive movies''. they aren't fun, inclusive games, they're stressful, exclusive battles..
maybe it's the controller that enrages people? kids these days are trying to play first person shooters with bloody joypads. that must be why they're all so angry. you can't be precise with a bloody analogue stick.

For the record, I completely agree that "fun" trumps any other factor when it comes to playing games, but the idea that COD is a "war simulator" is laughably ludicrous.
The gameplay in COD is actually quite arcadey. Controls are really quick & snappy, with an emphasis on unrealistically fast paced action (it is actually pretty "fun" from a gameplay perspective). Meanwhile the stories are even more unrealistic than the gameplay (at least the newer ones, which aren't based on any real world conflict). Very much in the realm of the Hollywood blockbuster, they're meant to be over the top, stupid fun (Saving Private Ryan this is not. Think more, G. I. Joe: Retaliation). Absolutely nothing realistic (or "simulation-like") about it. Oh, and regenerating health, which most certainly isn't realistic.
BTW, I'm not a huge COD fan (I've only played three of them). While yes, they don't do much to change things up, and you wouldn't be wrong to have your fill of it after two or so games, those first two or so times are fun.
