Originally posted by |WOW|IRONMAN Almost 41 yrs young. That old theory that teenagers have better hand-eye coordination and will whip you because you're old? NOT! Most of the better players of any game that I've known have been 38-50 yrs old. Yup.

I agree, I am 19 years old. I was around before first person shooters were around. I think that I will only get better with age. Dont believe that older people have less hand eye coordination, it just brings experience.
Yea, I started when i was 7 or 8 with the tv version of PONG. been gaming since, and I only get better. Younger kids seem to learn the actions faster but they don't get better as fast as they learn the game controls. Strategy is a long-learned skill.
My not-quite 2 year old son is nuts about RTWC. (not a good game for little kids I admit) But somehow, he is able to turn on the computer, the monitor, start RTCW MP, and actually join servers. It's a little embarassing since he is pretty limited on what he can do IN the game, but he is sure good as throwing grenades and blowing himself, and other team mates up. I had to hide all the desktop game icons today so that might slow him down a little bit. Now, if I can just keep him from hitting the RESET button on the computer.
SO.. my sincere appologies if you ever find him in your server! It really is NOT me!
When I started playing MP, I tought that the average age was about 16 or 17, and that nobody was over 25 or something, but when I asked in a game what age everone was, there were quite people saying they were ages over 30. Some of them could lie, but it were so many I had to believe it. But now I know I'm one of the younger players in the game it's quite fun to see all those adults playing this kind of games... Just wondering how the wifes think about that!
