BF:M was alright. I didnt get a chance to play it for so long but it was ok for the time i played it. But yeah, I love shooters. They required true skill.

^^^^^

Classify skill.  Being able to decide how to equip a character in an RPG is a skill.  Being able to memorize when enemies come at you on a shooter is another skill.  Bah,  I just don\'t like the fact that your definition of true skill is considered twitch mechanics versus something that requires strategy not being mentioned.  To each his/her own I guess.

I knew somebody was going to say something like this. It does take true skill. I never said that all those other genres didnt. And its not all twitch factor because to control it to the point where you can move and shoot and equip things throughout the entire game takes SKILL. Not to mention upgrading some of your weapons. Sheesh. Relax

LIC i totally forgot about those. Thnx

There was one DC shooter i liked a lot.I cant remember the name of that title.
You ship could shift into two forms.A red colored one and a white one.Enemies shooting red projectiles couldnt harm you when your ship took the red form while enemies shooting white projectiles couldnt harm your white form.Instead your red form absorbed the red projectiles and vise versa giving you the ability to unleash a powerfull attack to your enemies.
