After seeing what Bungie did with halo, and what they are doing with D2, it's pretty clear that they seem to think that skill is having perfect accuracy, and relying completely on teammates. There's a pretty big problem with both of those. First is accuracy, hitting perfect headshots all the time isn't always skill. However, getting into a situation where it's easier to win a gun fight, [i]is[/i]skill. It comes and goes with certain people. Especially with perks like hidden hand, hitting headshots is a lot easier for people that are [i]naturally[/i] more accurate. As of relying on teammates only, I understand that an element of teamwork makes the game better, but I don't want to be forced to always have to stick with the team. I want the freedom to play aggressively if I want to, and if I can do it right. With the current state of pvp, it is way too hard to flank any group at close range. Let's analyze this. Without team support, most people will die very quickly trying to do something like that. But with effective combat awareness, it is possible to get away with it. There isn't enough reward for such a huge risk. Usually, you can only pick off 1, maybe 2 of them if you get the drop on them right. Playing with the team is good, but notice how it almost completely [i]takes out aggressive play styles[/i]. I don't want CoD where everyone just runs around, but look now. We don't even have rumble because of the absence of this skill type. Solo players will be at a huge disadvantage. Fans wanted a fast paced pvp, like year 1 pvp. Aside from broken exotics, it worked. You couldn't take on too many people directly, but it still rewarded fast paced people.
