GTFO. I said if you HAVE to pick one how dumb are you?
What if he thinks it's 50/50? Then he has to null vote. How doomed are you?

Reflexes are only necessary if you're too dumb to get the drop on your enemy.

Trinity: "Dodge this." BAM!

Now that you've been pwned by a girl who got the drop on you, you can go sit in the corner and wait for the respawn reflex boy.

Even so I just expected people to follow the rules of the thread. Null voting I guess doesn't matter anyway. But if you DO want your vote to matter you might as well pick something.

I mean, when there is a Presidential election, and you like two guys equally the same you can't walk into the voter booth, Null Vote, slap your hands together and walk away happy can you?

it doesnt matter how smart you are if your reflexes suck, you WILL lose, end of story
it also doesnt matter how your reflexes are if you're so stupid you sit giggling at a trashcan.... you need more reflexes than intelligence but both are needed


EDIT: 203-206 damn, people are split huh

75% intel and 25% reflexes... i say that from playing CS for years and relying only on reflexes. but in the battlefield series its more dependent on intel and knowing your surroundings and using them to their fullest potential. my clan (albeit small and mediocre compared to the bigger groups out there) has always been more successful using alternate routes in-game and out maneuvering the opposition, as well as out-thinking them

I voted Reflexes, but in my case, its not really reflexes that help me succeed at the game. I voted this because in my mind, skills meant aiming quickly and making omg headshots. When I voted, I thought that bright behaviour didnt really meant skills in term of gaming. Yes ive always thought that it took some sort of intelligence to succeed in every games, but I just thought that acting brightly was part of something else than "aiming skills".

But then I read a bit of the thread and yeah, skills is definitely both. I, personnaly, doesnt aim that well, and my accuracy is average. But I succeed on the battlefield because I wisely choose my spawm points and my path toward the ennemy. I got 0.4 stars/round, a kdr of 2.18 and a spm of nearly 3 (playing every maps except the ones from the booster packs), which I consider really good, because I know how to attack the ennemy and defend myself. I know how to use the environment in my favor and get points and kills. But when I come to a fast heads-up when for example, my opponent and I meet at the same corner, I often die, I mean, more than I should. So I think that most of my skills are from the "intelligent part". That's the biggest reason why I suck at CS.

but seriously skills= flanking. if you flank, you can catch the enemy of by surpise and finish him off easily, no mercy, no chance for him to retaliate. so ....you need bought.
Of course, the only problem with that for me is that I tend to overthink the situation. That is, I think "Let's flank him. No wait, then he might try to flank me. SO I'll flank to the other side...."

So on and so forth. Besides, I usually die by grenade before I finish that train of thought.
exactly. i tend to overthink also. and when i overthink it all goes down from there. =/

Agreed. Over-thinking can be your downfall in this game. Because you don't really have that much time before someone knows of your position etc. And besides, how is it NOT fun to go rushing around on an I/O server without a care for your e-life as Assault noob-tubing everyone? It can be pretty rewarding

Intelligence- Something that doesn't have intelligence, ie. a rock , has pretty poor reflexes so the reflexes depend on the intelligence

Intelligence Pwns  Reflexes   


The Relfex Guy -     20 Kills    10 Teamkills    5 Deaths
The Intelligence Guy  15 Kills    0 Teamkills     3 Deaths

Why? Because the Int-Guy  looks on the Radar  and check out the Teamguys
Why? Because a Reflex Guy dont use Tactics
Why? Because Intelligence  means  "There could be an Enemy"    then it will be true and you prepared and kill the victim
Why? Because the Reflex Guy just shoot  because his finger muscles will twitch... Teamkill SRY! ^^
Why? Because the Int Guy will shoot on the damagable Parts of a Tank to make more Damage instead of just shoot   on a spawning tank
