You just run around and shoot at everything, meaning only reaction time and speed are involved.

In Might and Magic, there are many open fields, and that's where you need to concentrate on the game so you don't get caught off guard. You need more attentiveness there.

Hmm. I think you haven't played any decent shooter. Even in the old Half-Life and Unreal Tournament, some weapons have spread, and shooting while running in more realistic games with no aiming down sights is just a waste of ammo. You also made me laugh with your comment about reaction time and speed; reaction time is needed, but if you don't "concentrate" on the game and drink beer with your left hand, you won't succeed in any game, not just shooters and Might and Magic.

The arrow doesn't fly across the entire field in a second.

Again, what have you been playing? In the games mentioned in this thread, very few weapons have projectiles that travel across the entire field in a second. In Counter-Strike, yes, everything is like that (by the way, you can also hide behind a shield from shooters in CS), but in other games, unfortunately, it's not like that. You need to shoot with anticipation and intelligence.

Enemies are usually all in one place and don't scatter across the map or come out one by one from corridors.

This is a feature of team games. In Team Fortress, Battlefield, Call of Duty, and Counter-Strike, the same thing happens, and it's normal for the team to stick together.

and you need more concentration because there is an open battlefield, and danger can come from any direction.

Again, don't play on small maps. There are maps with such vast expanses that it's scary; I'm not even talking about shooters with vehicles.

while you're aiming at someone in front, cavalry runs up from behind and impales you on a spear.

Yes, this doesn't happen in shooters; while you're aiming at one person, no one will sneak up on you from behind to stab you with a knife, right.

in shooters, there are corridors, houses, and various rooms, etc., but rarely open spaces.

It depends on the game and the map. If two people are playing, why do they need a large open space? But for a large number of people, the maps are appropriate, with houses, fields, and seas. In short, you're just not familiar with this topic.

in shooters, what do you need to concentrate on? only on the enemies. they come out, and you shoot. it doesn't matter if they're far away or close.

Yeah. Again, accuracy when shooting at long distances, weapon range, spread when not aiming down sights, anticipation. Ar, you're a noob in shooters. No offense, but that's how it is.

here you fight in close combat, and it's more difficult, and at the same time, they can flank you, again from behind, and even from the roof (there are such maps).

Again, nonsense. In shooters, you dodge, maneuver, crouch, and jump (yes, a shield for blocking isn't in all shooters, sorry). And again, while two people are having fun with each other, a third can come and take them both out.

in shooters, enemies are killed quickly, and you switch to another, so you also switch quickly.

In Delta Force, enemies die from a hit in the arm or heel, but in other games, a one-shot kill comes from a rocket launcher/grenade launcher, shotguns at close range, and headshots, but if these conditions are not met? That's right, you still have to manage to kill the enemy.

this is literally a few seconds, and not much will change in that time.

Recently, while a couple of idiots were waltzing in Battlefield, the enemies took the point, and we could have stopped the capture. Nothing will change, right.

here, it's not that simple because battles don't end that quickly, and while you're fighting one, at that time, additional enemies can run up from behind, from the side, or from somewhere else. especially with the same cavalry, which appears suddenly. it's like you were looking back, and there was no one there, and after five seconds, some freak crashes into you.

Again, play team shooters.

in shooters, the fastest usually wins.

I'll correct that: "In shooters, among noobs, the fastest usually wins."

here, anyone can defeat anyone.

You won't believe it, but in any shooter, headshots are possible even with the worst pistols, and if you get into close combat, then, as a rule, 1-2 hits are enough.

In general, I'm fed up. I'm taking my hand off my face. Ar, you can't play shooters, and you don't like them, so you know little about them, and that's why you have such an attitude towards them. As I said, this is your personal opinion. You shouldn't impose it on everyone.

Yes, and I would play online, but, unfortunately, I won't be able to match times with anyone.

Let me correct that: "In shooters, the one with the fastest reaction time usually wins among beginners."

In shooters, the one with the better mouse settings usually wins. I'll support Aru a little bit.

Yes, that doesn't happen in shooters; while you're aiming at one enemy, no one can sneak up behind you to stab you with a knife, right?

Well, if you're a noob and aim for 10 seconds, then yes. But in general, this rarely happens in shooters, and you definitely won't sit and stare at the enemy for that long. He'll take you down first, or you'll take him down. In Might and Magic, this is possible because he might be far away. And while you're walking towards him... The point is that battles in shooters happen faster than in Might and Magic. Therefore, it's quite difficult to sneak up from behind, and it happens much less often because you'll be spotted quickly, and you won't have time to get close or do anything. In Might and Magic, you can also spot an enemy from behind, but you won't get away from him quickly, especially if there's another one in front, which means you have to watch out for two, which is more difficult than focusing on one and shooting at him. +

I've played shooters, and I'm good at them. I've played Battlefield, the one set in the future, including knife fights.

In shooters, you dodge, maneuver, crouch, and jump.

It doesn't always help, especially if they're shooting in bursts or with explosives. Therefore, the role of all this is very small, and you just need to shoot first. Oh yeah, in Might and Magic, armor also restricts movement, and you can't really jump in it. But without it, you're good.

And if we're talking about it, we weren't just discussing Might and Magic and shooters. It all started with MMORPGs and World of Warcraft. The comparison is partly with them. I hope you haven't forgotten

In MMOs, skill is what truly matters. I have a healer friend who, even without top-tier gear, heals better than some healers with the best equipment. The same applies to any other game; skill matters more than gear.

Consequently, you need to keep track of two targets, which is more challenging than focusing on one and shooting at it.

It's clear that someone is overthinking things. In a shooter, while engaging with one enemy, another cannot join the fight. Two against one never happens in shooters.

This is more difficult than just aiming at one target and shooting.

Archie, have you been watching too many Westerns?

Speaking of combat and dynamics in MMORPGs, here's an illustrative video. The most interesting part starts at 2:30; those interested can watch the whole video. Just be warned, there's a lot of swearing in it.

you're slow. yes, it might be, but the situation there is resolved very quickly by someone's death, and the "reveal" process lasts for two to three seconds. therefore, it's almost non-existent there. or are you saying that you're reviewing with the enemy and standing there, counting the time?)

And in MMORPGs, skills decide everything. I have a healer friend who heals better without decent gear than some healers with top-tier gear. The same goes for any other game; skills matter more than gear.

well, well. there, professions and gear decide everything. and definitely more than in Heroes of Might and Magic. although you don't need much gear for healing, at least in some games. although if they give a faster cast speed, it won't hurt.
what does the healer have to do with it? lol. you're comparing healing and combat. healing involves quickly switching targets and pressing keyboard buttons. as is the case with PvP in these games, although there you don't need to switch targets if it's one on one.

He betrayed you, a full-on macho heterosexual, and went off to join a group of effeminate guys.

It seems that only guys will be there, judging by the posts. So, essentially, it's already a gay group.

Healing involves quickly switching targets and pressing keyboard buttons.

Being a healer is more difficult than it seems, Archie. Even considering that he usually has only one or two targets (tanks).

I know what it means to be a healer and I understand it perfectly. It's just that comparing healing to battles in Might and Magic...
And having one or two targets is the easiest part. But it's not always that simple. It depends on the tanks, and various situations can arise. From technical problems to the appearance of various enemy players (enemy races, clans, speedrunners, etc.).

Stupid Klov. I meant something else.

Mold, why aren't you online on ICQ?

Did anyone see A Nebo on ICQ? He wasn't online on Skype either.

no. he rarely showed up on ICQ anyway. and even less so these days. the most plausible explanation is that he doesn't have internet access, because it's the first of the month, and they might have cut off his service if he has an outstanding bill. although he did show up on the 1st, but disappeared quickly. maybe he logged in from his phone or somewhere else, who knows. he should have warned us, though.
