It really comes down to a different...I hate to use the word "skillset". With low TTKs, it's more about moving and training yourself to react quickly. If you can move your cursor over that guy before he gets his cursor over you, you win. Anyone with a more deliberate, tactical playstyle will probably not be impressed with the CoD franchise (except the first one, which was pretty awesome).

Which is a shame, considering it's supposed to be a military themed shooter. As someone else on these forums so aptly put, modern shooters are a "pastiche of military combat".
