Why? Do Commodore 64's give out super-harmful radiation?

Also, Nasty_Butler - you're right to pick Comms/Teamwork as an addition, but I thik that falls under experience.  An experienced player will realise the benefit of such activity, a talented, but inexperienced player will not.

Besides, I'm not even sure you can have such a thing as a 'talent for fps'.  You may have speedy reflexes and whatnot, but I think what people think of as talent is actually just a lot of experience of FPS games in general, thus allowing a faster progression up the learning curve.

Philosophical or what.

I agree. You could be the best in the world but if you're comp is slow, laggy it makes it much harder to fight/ kill

I'd say Experience, then hardware.
I have a sucky computer, and I quite often get killed by people I can't even see, because my computer can't handle anything except 800 x 600 at all low.
Then again, I occasionally will have a great round and do really well. Despite other people having better computers and an advantage over me because of it.

If you don't believe better hardware gives an advantage, you try playing 800 x 600 at all low.
That's what I play at, and I do just fine. Draw distance is 100% though.

As long as your computer's good enough to run on the lowest settings, you're good to go. All you need is skill and determination.

Decent framerate and a good mouse is all you need hardware wise.

After that, you just play for a while and learn how each gun works and what it works for. You get better after some time.

Talent is something that doesn't exist in games. No one can aim well their first time playing a game.

It's just who can learn fastest.
