Do skills from bf2 carry over to other games?

So today in class a bunch of us were playing Quake III Arena on the computers (don't ask me how it got there.) I had never played Quake before and wasn't expecting to do too well. Now bf2 had always felt slow to me, like it always seemed like you had to move the mouse twice as fast as you wanted the character to move, also I'm used to having to take cover at the slightest amount of fire because of the semi-realistic health of bf2.

So now I play Quake with these ideas in mind and I am OWNING. It was like I had been running with a sandbag tied to my back all this time, and now its gone. Now that there was no shot spread and more health I would clear whole rooms and only lose 25% of my health, and I won every single game doubling the score beneath me.

So, my question is, after playing bf2 for a while, when you played another game did being used to bf2 make you more (or less) capable of winning at that game?

We have a CSS server and since I've been playing BF2 I've been doing a lot better at CSS. I got used to the FF being on and I won't try to shoot people through teammates in CSS anymore. I also got better at burst firing.

Of course skills carry over. Don't you watch the news? By now, judging by your stats, you should be proficient with most rifles and have excellent aim! Enough to kill everyone at your school!

I think they do. I used to play Vietcong all the time, and I had played it for a few years, so my skills were pretty topped...and there were only a few players i saw on a regular basis that gave me a challenge. Well since ive been playing BF2 (which is way more fast paced than Vietcong), Vietcong is rediculously easy. Considering I generally have more time to move about without drawing enemy fire, or getting grenades chucked at me (and no tanks or jets blowing me away). Ive noticed I have a faster draw, more control over the recoil on the weapons and just generally all around better playing skill. Its kinda wierd....but that game bores me these days.

Increase sensitivity?

But sometimes skills do carry over its just some games are played at different resolutions or crosshairs etc.

Good way of all round training your shot is to hide your mouse in the corner of the screen and pick an icon on your desktop, then move to it without looking at your mouse. Strange maybe but you'll find it helps if you get bored and start doing it

I have gotten good at losing connection to servers in a few other games, thanks to BF2.Practice, man.

What I was tring to say was that the people in bf2 turn slowly to me at least. But not nearly as slow as in halo 2, in that game it seems like you're moving in slow motion.

I just wish there was universal mouse sensitivity, 500 hours of BF2 and I can snap my aim onto anything I want. Tried to play CS:S, missed everything by a mile

When I used to play BHD. 1 or 2 shots killed. (Very fast game play as well). So now with BF2 I have more life and play like I did with BHD and now I do well.

bf2 has ruined my CSS skill, it used to be HEADSHOT now its just me dead, im used to the awsome power of the G3 ripping people apart, i played CSS yesterday and all i found that i was doing is spraying and praying, i think i will play more CSS then adapt my skills to bf2

agreed

I thought that BF2 would make me much better at CS:S, but no way. The only thing I was good at (and this was against bots!) was those two semi-auto snipers (god those things ROCK, even better than the SVD and Type 88) and pistols (haha)

What really got me was that you couldn't zoom in with most weapons. I definatly like how there's an M4 and an M249 SAW, it's cool seeing those familiar weapons. M4 with a silencer is sweet, too.

I feel that my play In AA with 83 honor and a 1.63 F/R helps in this game , But face it YOU will die more in BF2 No matter how good you are in other games
