Hate to break it to you but you're one of them :(

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

As expected, a flame war about skill has broken out.

Makes perfect sense guys. T Squared, a person who dropped out of high school, must be way smarter than my friend who is studying medicine at UAB who has a 0.8 KD. Yup


I agree with this. He might be a more tactical thinker but If you ask him what 1+1 is he will answer with 'potato'

Maybe he is, but I bet you he has a higher IQ than your friend does... Just because you study at a college it doesn't make you smart, even if you become a doctor it doesn't make you smart. You just put a lot of time into something that most people wouldn't want to do...

Yes.

IQ = (K/D)100

This is based on science.

CoD has no relation to intelligence.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

I personally consider the situational awarness and decision making are more important than godly aim.

Especially in vanilla Reach gametypes.

  • 05.15.2012 7:49 AM PDT

players that lack awareness in Reach is what makes me facepalm the most.

dude there is an enemy right next to you, how did you not see him?!?!?

Depends on your definition of "smart". If by saying "smart" you mean by getting a 34 on the ACT, a 4.9 GPA and getting accepted into one of the most prestigious medical schools in the country, then my friend is much smarter. If by saying "smart" you mean having better hand-eyed coordination, then T2 is probably smarter.

The ACT isn't an IQ test. By definition an IQ test measures one's problem solving capacity, not regurgitated information from high school.

I wonder if you read my post, or just have a interpretation problem? Where did I compare the ACT to the IQ test?

If by saying "smart" you mean by getting a 34 on the ACTThe way that post was worded leads me to believe that you think a high ACT score equates to high intelligence. Intelligence Quotient tests more accurately measure intelligence than the ACT.

Highly doubt that. What is his disability and I'll explain it to you.

Yes, hes smart. But that is because he choose to put the time into that. If T2 decided to put time into that, (which obviously he wouldn't) I bet he would do better than your friend as would I. I never did any homework through out high school and still maintained above a 3.0. I wasn't even trying nor did I care. If I did I could've done what your friend is doing so that doesn't prove anything to me...

Look, I don't know what you are implying here, but I spend less than 2 minutes a day doing homework, and I have a 4.0 GPA. And for fact, my friend didn't spend much time on it either, until he got into college, so I don't know really what you're getting at here. And it is beyond me why anyone would treat video games at a higher priority than education. Even derpshelf would agree with me on that one

Autism

My point is, talent doesnt equal intelligence necessarily. I know a few friends who could go onto be great artists because they are brilliant drawers, but in the classroom they really arent too bright

Being sharp, tactical and quick while playing an online game doesnt make you smarter, it means you are more talented and good at hand eye coordination and games.

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

And being overly successful in school doesn't either.

Just because your friend has a 0.8 K/D doesn't mean he wouldn't be capable of understanding the thought process, because he probably would. He just lacks said hand eye coordination.

Again, you're not retarded because you're bad. You're retarded because you still continue to argue with us. If you still don't understand why things like armor lock, bloom, and the like are bad, you're either -blam!- retarded or incredibly ignorant.

I agree! You can understand the game but just lack the skills!

Also, if referring to me, I was done arguing a long time ago. I just stick with single player and occasionally Team Slayer

Yes, but the people we call retarded bad kids here aren't those types of people. Eric, for example knows the game, he's just not very good at it.

HOWEVER, he also know exactly why bloom, and armor lock, (etc) are bad for gameplay. He would be someone who understands the game but lacks the skills.

If you still don't understand why things like armor lock, bloom, and the like are bad, you're either -blam!- retarded or incredibly ignorant.
^This is still very relevant.

So, in conclusion, when we call you "retarded colonels", the main focus is being put on the "retarded" part. The "colonel" part is there to back up our claim.

It wasn't directed at you. At least not at this very moment.
