They arent soo good in onlineFPS games. Now i have notice this more and more i have played on americans servers and my

friend have notice it also. im not sayingthat all Americans i have meet have suckedi have meet americans that have owned me really hardbut the majority isn't that good. So i was wondering if its more common that casuals play Online FPS games.

And is that the reason.

Europe has the best Counter-Strike teams and Quake players, Americans have Halo and some other 360 shooters.

on PC you will find more good european shooter players. on consoles, no offense but alot of u dont tend to be that good. When i play people from europe on counter strike, or quake, or unreal im actually challenged a little. But on Halo, Gears, Rainbow Six, Graw, socom, they arent exactly that good.

Although i wouldnt say american FPS players are bad on PC either, ive played with lots of great shooters. People from the south, california, oregon, kansas, nevada, new york(hometown), New England, etc. I wouldnt exactly say most americans are bad. I play lots of good ones.

It is probably because the US has 300 million people and therefore it is much more likely (percentage-wise) that you will randomly play against casual or less experienced players.

I don't know if its race related or not but go on a french fps server and you will probably be one of the best players there regardless of the game.

blizzvalve

Actually, you're proving the TC right here. If consoles are less popular in Europe, that means a niche audience, much more likely to be a hardcore audience, is buying them. In the US, consoles sell to a large casual fanbase - people who could frankly care less if their aim in Halo is perfect or not.

In a random match, therefore, it's much more likely for the European player you encounter to be hardcore than it is for the American player. For the record, some of the best FPS players have come out of Sweden, and the best Pac-Man player in the world resides in Mexico

Well im from sweden so i play mostly on swedish servers. Its not that is a small difference how good people are in the swedish

servers when you compare to americans. For exempel it happends somtimes i actually get number one but its rare. In americans servers im always become number 1.

I'm sorry but your personal perception has no baring on reality. Only a professionally run survey can make any kind of claims like this. Everyone has a bias weather they know it or not and they see things through their own personal prism. You have probably played a lot of great American players but you just don't remember or didn't know their nationality. If your European you probably play mostly on European servers too.

What FPS are you playing first of all (Its sounds like BS saying that u get first place everytime)? Secondly have you ever thought that you are good at FPS? Thirdly like I said before FPS is extremely popular in America so tons of ppl play and the more ppl playing the more crappy players there will be (A similar would be WoW, WoW has the most subscribers so it has the most idiots because it has the most ppl).

Except Europe is a continent...not a country. So to be accurate, you would either have to break Europe into countries or consider all of North America.

That is correct. A vast majority in the US plays FPS, and therefore there is a higher chance you meet people with decent skills. However the percentage of experienced players are somewhat the same as in other countries, I assume.

WW2 sims are the worst for playing with French. Most surrender in the lobby before the actual game begins.
