Mate, you play games that require a lot of in game skill. More than usual at least. Now I'm not trying to dis the games, I like halo and hl2- but they're pretty independant in terms of skill required. Maybe give quake3arena a go, heaps of people still play it online, (and don't be discouraged, they ARE all bloody good, not just in this case you're bad.) and it's great to get a mate who games and have a 1v1 for a night.
Anyway- try games that are raw fps', like quake, RTCW and ET. I'm not trying to advocate these games over the games you play now, but in my experience and opinion, games like CS and HL2 take a heck of a lot of practise (ie getting used to each gun's firing style in cs)- which yes, is just part of what makes the game unique.
But if you aren't good at it, maybe spending some time on quake will pay off, since new games don't show any signs of going anyway, I doubt the (what now would be) cult following of q3a probably won't die down, not for a GOOD long while.
EDIT: Anyway, I quit games a couple months ago, and it's pretty good. Still go on GS to relieve the craving ^^, but a lot more time to do stuff, and a lot less aggression after quitting (Got angry from games, can only imagine because of the nature of the games, and when things went wrong- in terms of computer buggering up). But yeah, quit now buddy- games are fun, but you'll learn later if you get out of them that the experience was nice, but it wasn't worth it.
