With all these new FPS's coming out, both continuations of old franchises and original creations, it makes me wonder why I really don't enjoy them anymore. I spent much of my time in high school playing games like Team Fortress Classic, Counter-Strike, Call of Duty, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Quake, etc. I even clanned in a few games, spending a lot of time in practices and matches just for the thrill of competing online. But now? I feel like everything has changed. Is it me or the games?

I'd like to think that I was competent at shooters, but one of the things I don't really understand (or obviously like) about today's FPS is that I just suck now. PC or console, I just can't hold my own anymore. I'm not sure what's really changed, but no matter what game it is I just can't really "own" like I used to. What was once one of my favorite things to play has become a chore. I think in some games on the PC I can still do pretty well, but the majority is just results in me getting destroyed, and it's just puzzling how much things can change over the years.

So is there anyone else out there like me? The people that would kill the shit out of n00bs and capture the flag with ease, but now can barely keep themselves from the bottom of the scoreboard?
