I was playing with a few guys last night and one of them said during the game I almost got you there my reactions arn't what they were used to be. Now the guy I was playing with could be just using it as an excuse because he got out gunned but that got me thinking do you get worse at playing the game as you get older wouldn't your playstyle and skills compensate for the reaction speed we all lose eventually as we get older and older.

I looked at some of the top players on youtube like Sandy, xjawz, xSocrates etc, and most of them are in there mid teens and early twenties.

So I thought I'd ask you all do you find yourself getting better at the game or worse at the game as you get older.What age do you think you peak at playing ,or does age not come into it at all
can you play the game the same way if you were in your 50's rather then your 20's?
or is it all down to things like your playstyle, map knowledge, skills, etc

I think gaming is like riding on a bike.. once you learn it you never lose that skills.. and u can get better and better.. like if u bike a lot or bmx a lot u can do awesome stunts and its the same with gaming like a 360 quickscope

I played with Abraham Lincoln yesterday, he was on it. He went 57 - 2 on TDM yesterday.

i dont know i know that im 13 and i started playing at 9 lol but i have gotten from a .9 kd in cod4 to a 1.9 in BO so i think to a degree it gets better and then worse like rifing a bike at 60 haha.

i really dont know but the little kids SUCK they tend to do stupid stuff on purpose and their voice is so annoyying but a FACT little kids then to do stupid stuff

you loose touch after your 30s i presume, reactions not as fast ect

I think that little kids shouldnt even play this game the game says 17+
and also the little kids are very annoying always talking shit in their high pitched voice I just wanna slap but I think that the best ages to play the game are 14-30 but hey that just my opinion

i can confirm you get worse when your 30ish, lol, god wish i had the reactions of some of you kids/young guns. instead i have to rely on wit, but then some of you smart ass's still beat me there. we old cotes should have our own playlist

thanks 4 the response guy's

I'm 29 myself and I'm pretty good so I best make the most of it while I still can b4 I hit my 30's lol

I've got a guy like that on my list who's 40

he clocked up 64 days on MW2 :wtf:
and he's allready clocked up 13 day's on BO's so far lol

Age does affect your reaction time if you don't use your reaction. Use sprt as an example, there are tons of 30 year olds who play sport at professional level and their reaction time will be better then their most people, if not all of the people here. Younger kids and older people will most likely be worse then the teenagers as reactions do come and go with age, but there will be older people who have better reaction times. It all depends on if the people keep their reactions in shape :y:
