That couldn't be the further from the truth. There will be the occasional person who is really fucking good and plays that much, but a good portion of people who play online just aren't very good regardless of how many hours a day they play.

The only person I know who has improved from being trash at a game to being damn good by playing a lot is Nomi at Halo.

Well then, everybody is better than me, fine, I'm going to cry now :(

Believe this man.

I could get back on Halo and wipe the floor with the kids who have been playing these last few months I haven't. It has nothing to do with hours played.

Yes, but does he have a line of vanity mice and keyboards named after his online handle?

Or the worst, but somehow most expensive, case?

This is why I hardly ever play online.

Here is an example. I get on COD4, two minutes after I start I get killed 15 times in a row. Rinse repeat, I just don't have the time to learn what is best for what situation.

Oh, and fuck snipers.

Going from playing CoD4 to playing Halo is some weird ass shit. I thought that too, played a game of Shotty/Sniper's on Last Resort, did TERRIBLE. I kept hitting B to reload, and clicking the stick in to run behind cover. It was lawltastic. Then I think I went 19-8 on The Pit the next round, but even still, that first round was hell.

To give you some credit CoD4 isn't instantly accessible. It takes an hour or 2 to get the hang of it. Especially when you are playing against people who have already gotten used to playing.

They're cheap.

So are explosives, turrets and air strikes.

Don't stick your fucking head out and get it shot off 10x, maybe? Worked in COD2.
