How is Skill Determined?

[Desmond17]

The big question about the game I have is skill.If you play campaign mode and learn how to play,does that determine your skill? If you get all 69 stars by yourself,does that determine your skill? I don't know. If you play the game on Veteran,can that skill apply on Multiplayer?I have no idea on what determines your skill or if multiplayer is just about luck and staying alive.I'm confused.

story mode doesnt determine your skill...the enemies in campaign die easily like Hardcore while your life is normal...multiplayer can sorta...depending on what you play. some modes are easier than others. but when playing multiplayer your skill is determined on your K/D. if your rly any good you will have more kills than deaths. not counting camping or noob tubing... -_- i hate that. especially when ppl noob tube in hardcore....so gay lol

I guess that's true.

Like Kage said, I think its all about K/D.
If you're playing a TDM and you have 8 kills and 2 deaths, I personally believe that you did better than the guy with 22 kills and 19 deaths.

I personally believe that your K/D doesn't determine your skill.. What if you got better at the game in time and your practicaly owning lots of people.

Oh and I also recommand playing Free for all first online, so you can learn how to survive by yourself.
If you learn how to survive in free for all and win then you can be a good edition to a team on Team deathmatch.

Best to know how to be a good team member rather than being a stinky one. biggrin

My KD ratio is 0.83. This that good?

That's decent still good.. My KD is 1.22 or somewhere near that amount.
I got back on about a month ago and my kill rank went from the 5 millions to the 2.7 million rankings within that month, but I don't consider myself that good because you can always get better. Your freaking Killdeath ratio doesn't determine your skill!! scream But rarely it can, not including the boosters.
Must I say it twice. Your killing rank mainly determines your skill!!
Just wanted to make a true point.

It's alright dude, you can do better than that by practice and using your equipment more effieciently. <-- Mind my spelling

Was your 22 kills and 10 deaths in a free-for-all match??

As long as he won the match should it matter? Skill is hard to determine in MW2 due to all the hackers and boosters So I believe these should be the things that actually determine skill.

1.Victory. You know the saying "History is written by the Victor"
2.K/D Ratio. If its positive, keep it up.
3.Technique. In the end Victory and K/D are determined by your technique. Usually Victory and and a positive K/D are signs of a good technique or skill. As they say also "The end Justifies the means" As long as your technique gets you the win then go for it.

As for true skill, there is none in online matchmaking. There's just the Good, the Bad and the Support. Just make sure you get the win for either yourself or team. (Or at least a positive K/D if you don't)

A K/D above 1.00 would be considered good. anything below it means your dying more than you kill. In that case you should rethink your gameplay unless your only playing for fun. Higher K/D ratios just indicate you can kill more than you die but technically anything over 1.00 should be good taking into account you ignore boosters

I totally agree. Lol Makes total sense now. That's what I do. I win a match with 30 kills 17 deaths. Still I won. So that's all that matters. Thanks dude. Finally someone that has some wisdom lol. That makes sense biggrin

Well i play S&D so my K/D doesnt go up but my win streak does, my win streak is on 19 and i think its W/D ratio is...........0.89 or something like that.  

[CircaNineOne]

I don't understand how people can say your K/D determines your skill. There's boosters, noobs, and MLG in the game. That is too much of a variable to factor K/D as a Skill calculator.

My K/D is around a 1.8, my killstreak is a 42 with a Predator Missile, Harrier and Chopper Gunner. Neither of these determines my Skill level. Neither does camo for your gun.

The best way to prove your skill is to out-maneuver your opponents. Use actual combat tactics to take out enemy teams. Skill is based on how you approach the game. It isn't as simple as "R yew zkill'd d00d?" The way you play the game is what determines your skill. If you think logically and think about how other people are playing, I garuntee you your "skill" will be 10x as better as anybody elses.

I've seen Marines play the game, and once the basic controls were learned, had 3.0 K/D ratio's after 6 months. Marines are trained on how to take on situations, alone and as a unit. They play the game like a normal human would. They see a small movement 50 yards away? Bang: headshot.

So the next time somebody asks you how "skilled" you are, tell them you aren't a marine but you know basic combat maneuvers.

I say screw the numbers.

If you can consistently come out on top in any game type, I would say you are skilled at MW2. If you rock it on SAD and suck it up on FFA, then you are skilled at SAD and suck at FFA.

I think it's all about consistency and like elementpro said, tactics. Not numbers like kill streaks or KDR. Gimme a break.
