A Sign of Skill?

[Mr. Basic]

How do I say this. Can it be considered a sign of skill to kill a single individual of your aim within an oncoming or fleeing crowd?

For example, the enemy flag carrier (efc), accompanied with two to three escorts/guards, is making an escape from your base with your flag of course. Those that accompany him act as meat shields in some respects (with the likelihood of obstructing the path of your shot) and cover fire in others. As the efc is the first due to leave your base, you take aim with your weapon (in desperate cases, usually your ranged one-hit-kill weapon), fire and your shot hits that enemy specifically. This may prove to be more effective when the kill is made over bridges because the remaining party of two or three has to find some way to retrieve the dropped flag, providing that it was their collective objective.

It is skill if you kill them all with <70% of health.
But if you manage to get the flagger first, nice aim.

[Mr. Basic]

Health does not matter to me. As long as I am alive, I fight. And thanks. I am working on my aim. Good results are becoming more consistent with me frequenting the ruger and barrett more often now. And I have only accomplished that task several times but pleased for each time.

killing the flagger first is common knowledge ;o, and most people, even in the irc scene are too stupid to actually block bullets for the FC.

[Mr. Basic]

Then by your word Major I may have far to go.

[demoniac93]

But there are few people who still do that Major, myself included.
I play mostly on Blood Poland INF nowadays and even though it's a pub, I know aprox. 15 or so people who instead of camping around, actually run behind the FC to block the chasers' shots.

its skill if you boost yourself to your enemies, kill the first one with primary, second one with nade, efc with secondary, get stuck in the scenery while trying to return the dropped flag, see an enemy picking up the flag, kill yourself, respawn and boost again, die because you failed at boosting, repawn and get blocked by your teammate, curse him, boost with minigun, see the mentioned enemy got stuck at the same place, see another enemy trying to flee, kill him right before the cap spot with secondary, superman to the flag, return the flag and die of your own last nade (last kill in bullettime).

That's not skill, that's just idiotically insane luck.

Kzya, ya, serious stuff. isn't the world after you too?

[LtKillroy]

Getting the flag wins games, so you can call it whatever you want, it results in you winning.

I guess you still don't get my point even after getting owned

[Mr. Basic]

If they're all clumped together then no since you're bound to hit at least any one of them anyway.

But what if the intent to kill the efc alone follows through on more than one occasion with the results complying with the intent?

[HeavyMetal.Penguin91]

Skill yes, smart no. I suppose if a group of guys is running off with your flag, and you Rambo in decimating all in your path and returning the flag then well done (you're Achilles with a sub-machine gun and a take-no-shit-from-no-one attitude). But me, I'd try to go for the enemy flag (can't cap without it ) - as a group can just pick the flag up from each other, and a good flag-carrier will throw the flag rather than die with it.

Another option is to intercept the flagger by camping, cause the way I see it, people barely run ahead of their flagger, mostly behind him, so that way you'd have a better chance of preventing a cap.

If i see clearly no one is following ffc on the same route I run in front of him and sometimes spray the openings, sometimes i go on a different route and spray a bit from there to make them think our ffc is running there. I though blocking bullets for ffc was elementary for skilled players, guess not.
