It doesn't take skill to be the person camping, but it does take skill to easily get a 5:1 ratio against the people camping, you have to look at it from both perspectives.  Wink

Heartbeat sensor takes most skill to use - just like in real life.

Yes, but my point is that it doesn't necessarily take skill to do well in CoD; if you want to have a 5-1 game at seemingly any time, you can. Sure it may be boring, but it's possible.

In MoH, you had no choice but to play with skill if you wanted to do well.  Afro

Not true? You can't just camp and get a 5;1 K/D, you'd still have to be good enough to know where people can come from, etc.

And it's not boring getting a good K/D in a game, that doesn't really make sense...

I must admit though, almost every day I change my mind on whether I like the game or not. Either way I always continue playing.  Afro

In MOH i would go 51-8 one game and then 32-29 in another. I never really told anyone because i felt stupid saying this but, i honestly think that something on the multyplayer allows you to kill the other ppl faster in some games, but in others some other person would get picked to have this advantage. For example i remember this clearly, i used the STG in CTF on village and got my best score ever, once the game ended it was the same map and same Game mode, but i had an average game against the same ppl. Dont make fun of me, im entitled to my opinion =D.
 So what im trying to say is that MOH was really inconsistant and it required little strategy (in public matches with randoms), you could just blindly run around and rack up kills, but in CoD it is the complete opposite, you have to think.
Like i said in my other post, strategy=skill, right? If so, MOH "skills"< CoD strategy


I still dont think i have my point across, here is a good example. Lets say you're a sniper (In either game, MOH or CoD), positioning is much more important than the "quick scoping" in CoD or no scoping in MOH. If your positioned well, it doesnt even matter if you can QS or NS well. So here it is obvious that positioning is more important than QSing or NSing. Though QS and NS does use the sniper to its full potential when in those tough situations.

I just got done playing MoH again after a while of playing CoD MWR. I do believe that MoH takes a lot more skill in the area of actually aiming and handling the controller/gun. Here you do not have any assistance and the lag shooting takes its toll here too.

CoD, like someone else said, takes skill, not in the area of control but in the area of strategy and thinking. I dont mean to say you do not have to think in MoH. In MoH you have to be crafty to win a #v1 scenario and you still have to know how to flank to a certain degree. In CoD it is amplified x100. You really have to know where everyone is and what they are doing. This way you can thwart whatever strategy they are using with one of your own. CoD is just way more of a mind game.

So which one takes more skill? Id say where one lacks the other gains. There really is not a straight answer. If CoD took more skill to handle the controls then it would win. If MoH was a little bit more (or a lot) about strategy then it would win.

Its like knowing a certain skill and being  physically able to do it well. Neither game does both entirely so they both lose. xD

^ this

But i understand what your saying Floyd, but CoD strat is harder than MoH in general. I know this because i only had MoH for about 6 months and i could do just as good if not better thant the so called "elites" like Dreamr, heatmaster, etc. But on the Ps3 i sucked balls @ CoD, i had to play it for about 4 months until i was decent, even now after having CoD for a year (the series, not just one) im still learning.

xD sorry about the MWR thing. MWR=fail indeed!

I agree with you Holy. Its really tough out thinking some really great strategians out there! CoD=WAY more complex/difficult and skill DEMANDING than MoH.

What I meant was in the area of pure ability to manipulate the remote to AIM is where MoH far outdoes CoD. That and nothing else. Not much strategy in runnin' around like Rambo Undecided but there is a lot of skill involved in out aiming everyone else. Congrats on being Elite in MoH!

yes it does take skill (you have to know the right gun to use at the right time, you have to be accurate and have a good response time, and you have to out think your opponent)

Agreed, and disagree with this... It takes alots of skill to out think your opponent, and maybe using the right gun to suit the lag on that game that you are in.. with that said, The most skill in this game is if you are going to snipe, now that is were the skill is... I say that, cus Ive sniped a few times in this game,and its hard.. As far as that is, when my 9 yrs old son can go into this game, and go 25-10, in SnD,(which I sux in that mode) well that should answer your question on if this game takes skill or not..Its still a fun game though, and I do play once in awhile, skill or no skill.. it is a fun game....  Afro

I don't agree completely that sniping is the thing that takes the most skill. It is equally hard being the guy who runs into the crowd of 3-5 enemies (though admittedly its not as hard with a p-90 or some other cheap weapon)
BTW i completely agree that skill or no skill it is a fun game good call!  Afro
