    OH YEAH the owners of "SaucyMuffins [BEER] Haus & Squidd Cafe" gave me admin so i could do the freecam stuff on their server. It was reallly stupid of them and they put way too much trust in me. All they asked for in return was a simple shoutout in the video. Which i completely forgot to do. I am sorry. I hope this pinned comment suffices. Go check em out.

    Yeah basically Step 1 of Squad Leading is go to the options, turn the command radio OFF. It's never useful at all anyway. Focus on making sure your squad is having fun, listen to what they say. The other SLs don't give a damn about what you have to say, the Commander ESPECIALLY doesn't give a damn about what you have to say, and their inane chatter about pointless bullshit is just gonna make you unable to hear or think 97% of the time. TURN. IT. OFF. Especially in Squad, the game I play.

    Opening story hits too close. I played 1.6, but what most of my time went to was Blackhawk Down. Our team won the world championship. Even though im sure im rusty i haven't played pc since then. I only started playing cause 15 year old me got put on house arrest. Its funny looking back cause all the different teams i was on were older 30+ year old dudes. One squad was ran by a husband and wife. They were super lame. Luckily i was recruited by another team while i was playing in their server. They were super cool and were a group of 5 middle aged dudes that all lived by each other in Canada. Still got a hat that says "canada" that i was sent for Christmas that year from one of them. That was the team that i won with. Damn got me reminiscing about shit from 20 years ago.😢 wonder what they're up to now?

    I genuinely hope this is satire, if so I think its funny. I'm 29, and like you I'm quickly approaching that stage with reflexes, but I've been attracted to milsim games since I was 15. A lot aren't your jump in and play style games, they take build up thought and more understanding of goals to do what you want, but that's the depth that makes them great.
    What drew me into it was the realism. Realizing that people literally cannot survive the mag dumps you see on COD, and that cuts both ways. Tactics are way more important but so Is reflex, because you also realize that the recoil in COD isn't realistic either. You actually have to place your shots and realize that full auto isn't used that frequently, even by actual military IRL, which means learning to stack the deck in your favor.
    Further more it adds a depth of "Minigames" that come into play, things like reading topographical maps and performing land navigation in Arma 3, or in-depth medical systems like Arma 3 ACE mod or Tarkov. Learning that how you set up your rifle impacts your performance like in Tarkov, and more isn't always better. How different ammunitions impact the battlefield, or how valuable listening is. Not to mention the importance of clear comms and clear and concise communication. The difference of a single word can be the difference between you and your buddy clapping each other or you guys clapping the other team.
    What's also funny is seeing how many vets choose to play things like ground branch or Arma or Tarkov simply because it adds more of the complexity found in the real world. After being educated on some of this stuff, its hard not to look at games like COD as something like Fortnite in comparison to some of this tactical shooters being released now. I think the depth is a good thing, because being able to learn something like how to navigate a topographical map, or see the importance of learning real world first aid or EMS skills (Because this is still not accurate in games), Or how to make decent call outs that your boys can take action on gives you a different perspective and appreciation for the people that actually do this stuff.

    Contrary to popular belief, there isnt alot of lowered reaction time when aging. There are still starcraft pros coming up on 30. Thats just a common excuse for bad players that dont like to practice anymore because they made the mistake of creating a family instead of being an epic GAMER.

    The thing is you are capable, and so are other gamers of various age ranges. The difference is responsibilities. The younger you are, the less you have, and that means more time to stay tuned up.

    As one of those kids who played CS 1.6 in grade school, milsim was a niche I always wanted to exist, and I was continually disappointed at how twitchy and antisocial most shooters were. You never needed to actually use teamwork everyone was just in it for frags and that always rubbed me wrong

    I used to think too that the reason I wasn't as good at fps games as I used to be was because of my reaction time. But I don't think that's so.
    I used to post at a forum a lot and took a reaction time test that was posted in like 2003-2004. Five years ago or thereabouts I guess I was reading old posts and came upon my reaction time results from way back then. I took the same test again and got almost exactly the same results, and even was faster in one run.
    So I don't think my reaction time has changed much. But what has changed is I used to play games for hours, sometimes daily. Now I might play in two weeks what I used to play in just a day. So I think the biggest factor, for me anyway, is time spent playing/practicing, not reaction time.

    • @nuinloss
      @nuinloss Год назад +1

      100% this. It's always the running meme of "aging out" but in reality its adult responsibility that stops you from spending 8 straight hours on a game. Unless ur like REALLY old, being able to practice as much as the kid with no job/career would probably give you the same results

I was once a professional paintball player about 15 years ago, back when you had to use your body to become a legit pro gamer. Now I just drive the Logi trucks and bump music of my mic, which keeps all the kids quiet until i drop them off at the pool, best strat

    Maybe we got sick of shooting someone 5 times in the back only to have them round a corner, throw plates in and quickscope us from 150 yards. You can’t slide cancel or quickscope IRL, so it gets to the point where you wants realism and not an arcade game.
    COD embraced their game exploits like quickscoping to the point where the game has you flying around from building to building with your infinite parachute like tinker bell.

    There are plenty of video games that can be enjoyed without youthful reflexes. In Foxhole for example, the game is somewhat forgiving for slowness, and you could build as well since there's often too few people building up on newly taken territory. Games like World of Tanks, while a shooter, are not fast paced shooters. Even a game like Rust, which is toxic as hell and requires good aim and fast reflexes can be good once you compensate with a decent base which can be automated to kill off trespassers. You can always join clans too and fill a role that does not require you to have e-sports level reflexes.
