>fucking suck at tactical shooters like Rainbow Six Siege or most COD games
Do realistic shooters take more skill?
Eh, take this reply for the effort.
No, they just require a different mindset.
In arena shooters, it's about twitch skills, aim, tactics, and the like.
Tactical shooters are all about positioning and dicking your opponents when they make a move. Basically just be the most insufferable cunt you can imagine, and you'll immediately do better at tactical shooters.

What kind of casual writes these posts.
No,it takes more intelligence. Slower paced games rely a lot on reading opponents strategies and usual paths they take and less on reaction time and faster aim. Rainbow 6 siege is 70% reading the opponents (at least it was before I stopped playing).

I know that feelio.
>Great at tf2, Unreal and other fast paced shootan
>Try to play CSGO and play terrible because i just want to jump around and shoot people
I did eventually get to SMFC while playing CSGO but it wasn't worth it. I'm an arena player by heart

>die in 3 seconds in TF2 if it's not a sniper or backstab
>die in 0.000000005 seconds in siege
How does that not require faster reaction time?
>>340379215
Nah, you don't get it m8.
I'm not saying that they're easy. I'm just saying that they require a different mentality.
In arena shooters, if you're good you can shit on half the enemy team in the open. In tactical shooters, even if you're mechanically good, you'll be lucky to take out one of them. That's because tactics, positioning, and predicting your opponent are more important.
I guarantee that being a colossal cunt will get you better results than a straightforward approach in a tactical shooter.

Take a wild guess
>>340378830
Well Overwatch requires almost zero skill and TF2 requires some
Those 2 are pretty shit examples and it's embarrassing you think you are '""good""" at Overwatch
>>340379825
I know it's not a hard game, it was just a recent example that came to mind. Then again I'd probably suck at Quake and shit like that anyway so it's probably just a general lack of skill for challenging games.

The competitive meta of games like Siege and Counter Strike are about circumventing situations in which you have to react to another shooter on equal footing, by way of strategy and planning. Traditional firefights are a last resort in such tactical games, and often mark a failure to predict and/or adapt to what an enemy team tries to do.

What about those games makes you think they're 'arena fps' games?
>it has a funny art style and weird weapons
>IT MUST BE AN ARENA FPS
>>340378830
COD is an arena shooter now. It hasn't been tactical since COD4.

>S&D
do new 3 dimensional CoDs have 1 life modes.
Arena shooters: Teamwork
"Tactical" shooter: Individual skill
Which is why "pro" gamers of the tactical shooter genre are worse than even the niggest of the FGC.
Too much self-importance and pride.
>>340378830
same here bro
im really good at games like tribes and tf2 but i blow at counter strike
>>340379614
Yeah I agree with you. I'll add that I can't into tactical because i'm too impatient and I need to pew pew.
Wow this shit is the most casual fucking post i ever heard
All these games suck
>>340378830
>arena fps games like TF2 or Overwatch
pretty sure the vast majority of TF2 and Overwatch players would have their assholes stretched if they attempted to play games like quake or unreal.
As for the distinction between class-based shooters and tactical shooters, class-based games emphasize teamwork (team composition and correctly playing your role) versus pure reaction-based "twitch" gameplay.
I'd argue someone good at tactical shooters would have an easier time being good at class-based shooters compared to the other way around.

between ro2 and overwatch, I'd say ro2 just needs more patience and overwatch requires better aim. With ro2 you want to be really fucking careful where you move and why you move to a certain place but with overwatch you want to move asap to the place you want to be. With ro2, you can just lie down and pick people off with a boltaction fairly easily, with overwatch, you have to move around like an autist and shoot people doing the same.
anticipating what your enemy does and teamwork are both essential.
>>340383915
Yeah.
I only play hardpoint or domination though.
>>340378830
Arena FPS games have weapon pick ups as in SoF, Quake, UT and Gaylo. None of the games you describe are Arena FPS
Tf2 and ow aren't arena fps

I'm really good at Dirty Bomb and Quake, but I'm bad at CS:GO and Overwatch. I don't know why some games click with us and others don't.
