Example of pro clans: LPK.
SoundWh0re is pro? nein, It's one of the skills for a good player but not pros.BRJackKiller wrote: »Pro = Perfect Pin Point
Thats all
So a kid who keeps dying the same time and getting used to it is pro?Excludable wrote: »Definition of pro: accepting a loss and adjusting to it.

So decent pub players are pro?!
I like your posts but this is one went off. -

There a multitude of definitions for the term professional and to say it means "get payed" is probably the stupidest thing i have ever heard. I can go to work at McDonalds, get payed and call my self a professional? No. So has you can see the term has it's context in a variety of ways. In an FPS game like crossfire being called a "pro" essentially means that you are able to compete at a professional level and do well, achieve goals and be good at what you do. In a game like crossfire that has only hosted one league that has had a cash prize it can't be said that the pro team is the one that has one event. Being a professional at a game doesn't and shouldn't consist on one basis as it has to do with other factors which i won't get into.
Think of WOGL's pro league. Does it only have one team? No. -

Being "pro" has more to do with how you play and conduct yourself.
1) Be good at what your doing (whatever the setting or goal is)
2) Having good sportsmanship.
You can be pretty pro at Clan war and still be nubby by QQ'ing and acting like a brat, if it doesn't make you noob doing these things then one sure looks noob by doing it. -

Good players QQ too sometimes, when they get annoyed. Have u ever watched major competitions @ Counter Strike for example on HLTV ? in fact MANY pro players QQ quite a lot actually
... so it has nothing to do with being pro. I just hate it when i'm in a n00b team who either block u / can't aim / don't know how to shoot those weapons and u finish the game with a bad score (either that or u camp ur opponents). Good reason for QQ ? yep, damn good, if ya ask me ! I hate noobs ! xD
Edit: i hate playin on public servers, it's just something i have to do to achieve those missions and get those rewards / badges. -

I still don't get it [the bold text]
What's professional level/league (plz don't say where pro players compete ;o)
So is next statement true
pro player = good -objective- player doing good in good leagues? -
wow biz didn't realize u had fallen down the rabbit hole but here i am!
Man u ask a simple question yu get simple people answering.
Yeh i'm with you by the way and the first few sensible comments before the circus arrived and hijacked yet another thread. Things have changed but has it been a good thing, i think not. If any nub can download a hak, with speed and aimbot and claim to be pro the word means nothing to them. To some of us the mere fact that such unworthy disrespectful scum can even spell it is both surprising and distasteful. A case for birth control in my opinion. -

The introduction of "low recoil guns" (read: Kriss, m12, etc) have allowed those without "pro" skills to get kills easier.
The shovels allows those who can't time knife slashes properly to simply outrange them.
My definition of pro is a player who is as good in game as out of game. Maturity means more than raw skill.
Very well said Bruce. -

Thats legitimate and in fact not crying, say for instance if the government wanted to bring in an air tax and you oppose it and voice your opinion - it's not QQ.
QQ in my opinion is just being a mardy ass little baby:
"I'm so pro you can't kill me you hak"
"Can you kill me from that angle - Don't think so"
"First kill hs?"
"How can you hs from across the map?"
"1 shot kill with psg?" etc -
No one is 'pro' unless you get paid to play.showdown452 wrote: »to me and a number of "elder" cf players, how pro you are is not measured by the number of kills you have but the ammount of skill you used to get them. for example:
now: poeple rapidly strafe to take advantage of hitboxes.
they spray no matter what the weapon and claim it takes "gun control" even though they choose guns with low recoil on purpose.
they rush towards you while spraying to try to compensate for bullet spread as they fire.
some camp a specific area without a sniper for whole rounds at a time.
Glitchers. to wrap it all up, when they find it difficult to beat someone they often call "hacker", "lagger", or "lucky".
spam slashing is now hailed as a skill than relying on "luck of the draw" to hit someone
1 1/2 years ago:
poeple rarely sprayed and often took their time aiming or walked with they're aim pre-hieghtened for headshots at any moment.
they were honest with their hacking accusations, glitches were rarely noticed let alone used and when they were noticed many poeple reported them.
camping was rare and was often only done for strategic reasons and for sniping.
intentional teamwork but not in conditions that ment making one team overpowered.
spam slashing was looked down upon as a last resort for those who can't use timing properly.
most players are treated as equals dispite they're lackings in specific skills although those lackings are noted and helped to be made better.
i realise that this is only the comparison for one of the older generations of cf players, what i want to know is what YOUR description of pro is so i can really see just how much cf changed. i'm not hear to bring anyone down about something they do. this is just for research. before posting compare your idea of the meaning of "pro" to the meaning that it had in the 1 1/2 years ago version. -
Pro?
im going to be honest, as u can see i have not been in the forums mutch but when i am in game i like to be freindly and like to enjoy the game.
change is one thing in CF that makes the game so good
Why? it teaches you to allways be alert as to what is going on, if there are glitchers i usuely get them in boxes in M.M and it dosent take much to learn how and where the hacks and glitchers AND campers (without snipers) go.
also MY defenition on PRO is a balenced amount of skill, timeing, player socialisme (cant spell) and general awernes of the ever changing CF enviroment.

I'm almost thinking about ditching the Combat Axe and Field Shovel for my knife. The thing
about knives is that if you are playing along with people that have high pings, you are
likely to die. I'll train in knifing though, thanks for brining me back to 2009.
