Riding a bicycle is widely regarded as a skill that an individual is more likely than not going to be able to retain regardless of time spent not involving themselves in cycling be that for personal pleasure or competitive enjoyment.

What I mean by the topic title is this:
If you're absent from Reach's delicious selection of mouth-wateringly carnage-filled, epic-sauce-covered multiplayer game modes for a considerable amount of time (a week or two) do you lose your personal edge in combat? Do you feel overwhelmed and unable to bring your skills back up to the challenge or do you retain all your sangheili-mutilating powers? Do you lose your efficiency at battling in Halo: Reach after extended periods of your personal free time being spent playing other games such as perhaps Medals of Duty, Call of Honor and other well-known xbox 360 games (at least I think they're titles).

Do you personally lose your touch or does your battle-proficiency in Halo: Reach stay somewhat unscathed from your non-Reach endeavors?

Please discuss and enlighten us with your intellectual opinions on this truly complex and undeniably interesting matter which will likely receive responses of unparalleled genius. Perhaps some magnificently witty shenanigans may ensue...

Seriously though, discuss.

EDIT:
For the sake and benefit of any individuals who may ponder as to whether I am to be taken seriously in this discussion, I selected "Call of Honor" and "Medals of Duty" as creatively combined games which, to my knowledge are non-existent. I thought that had potential to be a joke worthy of applause but it seems my comedic attempt cost me at least two readers. Terribly sorry about that folks.

That's a shame chap. I apologize if my knowledge of the video game industry is that of a lacking-standard. I will aspire to be more diligent in my pre-post research preparations next time.

I could run away from civilization, live with the wolves for 10 years, raze a healthy litter of werewolves and still come back and destroy you all in whatever the halo of the day is.

I don't quite understand what you mean my good friend. Please do elaborate.

GrownPrism is NOT my gt. Happened when signing into my xbox live account. My real gt is here:

I'm always consistent against the below average players, destroying them. Though when I play against good players, (Whale, Sanuel, etc) I tend to be a bit iffy. Either going positive or going like -3 - -8.
