I’ll admit it, I have no talent. Never really had any! Any reasonable amount of skill I have ever had in the multiplayer environment is from practice. Practice knowing the levels, weapon locations, and shooting skills have made me a decent player in the past. Spending hours doing jumps and shooting drills have given me an advantage. I am willing to do some of that these days but there always seems to be something else, more fun, to devote my time to.
A talent story…..A couple of weeks ago I was playing Ghost Recon Advanced Warrior online. I probably owned the game for a couple of weeks at that point. Played a few late nighters and had some clan training. Fetal joined the game and I think it was the first time he had played MP. We played a multiplayer variant where you have infinite spawns in a Halo Deathmatch style. Fetal did fantastic. In fact when we played the normal variants he did quite well. I wish I played that well! Last week we hooked up again and now that he had a chance to learn the maps he totally pwned. Either he played constantly for a week or two or he has a talent for playing video games. I’m pretty sure he has the talent.
You can’t learn talent. You can’t buy talent. Hell you can’t even rent it!
Practice is the great equalizer to talent but then that takes time. Time I really don’t seem to have or want to spend!
