Are Arena FPS the only genre of FPS that take a decent amount of brain power to play?

Tactical shooters are harder.

Fuck off with that kiddie shit, play a strategy game, nigger.

Such as?

What does this mean? Harder as in takes better reaction time? Harder as in it takes more strategy?

It takes more brain power

And I'm sure you have a citation for that. Granted, it's theoretically possible the study's already been done, there are tons of game pads made specifically for doing MRI tasks.

All you did was rephrase your statement. You need to fucking elaborate.

Arena FPS, especially duel, is nothing but muscle memory after a certain point. Any "strategy" is just you reacting to what the other player(s) happens to be doing.

IT USES MORE OF THE BRAINAL GLANDS user JEEZ

Let me put it this way. Playing wrena shooters are like watching Star Wars and playing tactical shooters is like watching Stalker.

This is literally strategy though.

The Advance Wars series is pretty fun. Too bad IS are a bunch of niggers and abandoned it to make more waifubait Fire Emblem games.

Strategy is not that. Stategy involves different outcomes, not predictable shit. That's why it's harder to make a bot that plays chess masterfully than a bot for UT or Quake.

Except we have had bots that could beat the best chestmasters for years and the best UT bots can be beat by good players.

do you faggots ever shut up about your overrated genre?
so glad it's dead and will never see any more entries because no one cares about that boring shit

So quake is like watching pop scifi and the other is watching a let's play? I'm not getting your analogy here. I think that you shouldn't beat around the bush and directly state why you think tactical shooters are harder.

the core mechanics of FPS don't require any "intelligence" at all, just fast reactions and muscle memory. braindead fuckers can be good at any FPS.

the "mind games" of high-level FPS are pretty much the same across every game. you have to make your opponent think you're doing one thing, and surprise them with another. This happens in Quake, Counter Strike, Colla Dooty, etc.

the amount of creativity you can have in these mind games is debatable. I think some pretty clever shit can happen in competitive CS that is easy for a spectator to understand, whereas a mind-game in an arena shooter happens within a split second and only matters to the players.

The best player in the world isn't going to beat a bot that instantly shoots with 100% accuracy, can dodge every attack, and has perfect item timing, which isn't what the best UT bots can currently do.

You could say the same thing about fighter genre as well.

They are harder because they take more brain power!

Good to know that you're just shitposting and not an actual retard.

When the janitor deletes this one are you going to make the same complaining thread in response?

So you're just making shit up, got it.

You have no fucking idea how an Arena Shooter works. It is all about knowing the map and the respawn pattern of power-ups while aiming and moving non-stop. Accuracy and reflex aren't the limiting matter, on that regard most top players are on equal ground, one could even have lower accuracy than his opponent and still win the match.

The jany was the butthurt one complaining

That all depends if you delete it again lil bitch.

AKA muscle memory.

...

By that logic people who are good at math aren't actually smart because it's just muscle memory in figuring out the answer after practicing math for a long time.

...

Which tactical shooters do we have left?
Rainbow six 3 is about the most recent good one.

thats wrong and idiotic anti-logic though

arena fps are all bout twitch reaction, nothing more

What? The best bots that are made to be beatable by players can be beat by good players, sure. But it wouldn't be too hard to make bots that can wreck any player. Especailly in game modes like instagib. Any bot with perfect aim and perfect reaction speed will be unbeatable. Perfect bots would also be pretty good with shock combos. Which is the strongest weapon in UT, if you ignore instagib and redeemer.

...

...

...

Do people still play old school arena FPS games?

go fuck yourself

Illiterate nigger

Why isn't UT apart of Holla Forumss gamenight?

because Mark the fat Jew only plays nintenyearold kiddy shit
