BF2S Forums I'm too old

I recently turned 36 and I feel like my skill level is decent.  I have a fairly decent k/d ratio, accuracy, SPM, etc.

http://www.bf2s.com/player/43896444/

I've played FPS-style games since Wolfenstein and continued to Duke3d, Quakes 1, 2, and 3 (didn't like Q4), Battlefield Vietnam, etc.  I feel like it's more about automatic responses (not thinking about buttons and mice) than pure reflexes.

38 and still going. Been playing FPS for as long as I can remember.

PS im 19 years myself ^^

Omg 55?

Gotta be a good one..

my first game was REVS.... ffs lol! on a BBC! (actually it was pong come to think of it ..doh)

anyway i dunno how quick a 30 + can pick up Fps's im guessing it depends on the individual really? as for me im 30 and i can hold my own in most fps (my stats would be a lot better but im always wasted and spent 100's of hours playing as a medic in a chopper lol :S)

Well im almost 32, being playing fps games since doom/quake! First major game i played as far as multiplayer is concerned was Quake 2 Rocket Arena. Was in a pretty successful clan untill it disbanded, but still keep the =SQS= clan tag in my gaming handle four years on. At multiplayer level have played all the Quakes, HL, HL2, CS & CS:S, Doom3, BF1942, BF2, Halo, All The UT's, Farcry, CoD and god knows how many more!!!

As far as age goes, it depends on the game i reckon! I have only just started playing BF2 online, and despite a few kills i died more than i managed. But take games i played years back, like Quake 2 DM or Rocket Arena 2 and I would more than likley be in the top few frag lists most times. My reflexed with weapons such as the railgun and rocket launcher in Quake 2 far exceed my relexes with a sniper rifle or sub-machinegun in BF2.

It all depends on the game you cut your teeth in, or the genere of game! I cut it in Q2 etc. most ppl these days did it with CS or BF1942/BF2 which are completely different.

Thats what I reckon anyway.

35 here. I actually had to stop and do the math.

I have been gaming since Atari 2600 days.

To answer the other part of the question, it is all relative. I have spent time and money to keep up with this game which I enjoy. My experience helps but I am not as dedicated to it as some are. I am sure my reaction speed is not what it used to be but my PC keeps pace enough and makes up for my deficiencies.

i know a 5yr old that plays this game, hes not good but its funny to see him play cause he doesnt really know what he's doing

im 15-20

It's possible to have fast reflexes for FPS games. Go get used to fast paced FPS games like Quake 3 or Unreal Tournament or even Half-Life 2 Deathmatch.

I'm 20 and working on my PharmD.  I'm still trying to figure out how to tell the admissions committee that I had to retake first semester Organic Chemistry because the first time I was busy playing some video game.

Just kidding, I suck at chemistry.
