Edit: Mis-read something.
Counter-Strike is difficult, yeah, but Halo PC has people who think it's funny to sit in the enemy base the the enemy flag waiting for their flag to respawn. Getting past that is difficult. Especially when there's no Friendly Fire.

Most likely Counter-Strike. I don't agree with the fact that it takes a lot of luck. If it did, why is there a good variety of good and bad players out there? I have certainly seen how I've improved in Counter-Strike. It definitely doesn't take a ton of luck unless you just suck at the game and want to put in an excuse like that.

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

yeah HL2 Death match. I like games that have alot to do with Teamwork, like Renegade.
I'm not sure exackly what it is but when i'm playing Counterstrike i can get killed over and over again and it does'nt seem to ever bother me or make me angry. However when i get killed in Halflife 2 DM i feel like chucking my computer across the room!
Not quite sure why i get so angry at it, the 2 games have alot in common.

There are probably some RTS's out there that takes more skill than say counterstrike. But in terms for FPS's it's probably CS. RTS require fast thinking and fast moving. FPS would be mostly about aiming, but like every game some strategy is required to be somewhat good at it. But yeah, definately isn't luck when if i first started playing, i struggled to keep my KD nearing 1. One thing is for sure; Renegade isn't up there on the list
Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

Starsiege:Tribes and Tribes2. Constant three-dimensional combat, every weapon save for one requires you to lead your target (and that one weapon robs you of all your energy after every shot, limiting mobility), tradeoffs for speed/armor/firepower in every armor class...plus, every team game requires each team to keep an eye not only on an objective such as a flag or a control point, but also on base assets such as sensors, defense turrets, vehicle stations, inverntory stations, generators, and so forth.
It isn't just a matter of being able to headshot folks every time so you can get more money to buy better guns, because there's more to the game than shooting the enemy. Thus, a skilled player has to master a wider range of skills in order to be useful to the team. The greater the level of complexity in a game, the more skilled you have to be to master it.
And yes, using that logic, it takes more skill to play Ren successfuly than it does to play CS. There's just more stuff that you have to know about (and know how to deal with).

Damn I used to play tribes and it was so complicated, after playing for 3 months I still didn't get it all. My favourite game mode was ultra renegades which was unlimited boosters and whatever the thing is called that makes you fly. Amazing gameplay...just needs decent graphics.
