Can Counter-Strike Players Be Summed Up By Nation?

Posted by simoniker on Sunday March 7, 2004 @11:51AM from the oh-boy dept.

Thanks to GotFrag for its article discussing whether players from different countries are good at different aspects of online FPS Counter-Strike. The writer tries to claim: "Some countries, most of which are the leading ones in Counter-Strike, have certain specialities. This often means that the players in this country will have a 'special touch' in this area." Among the supposed conclusions are that Americans excel at "shooting [and] logistics", whereas Germans are best at "thinking [and] teamwork", and the French come off best when using "reflexes". How seriously can we take such broad conclusions?

The French rate of losses for the short time they were in the war under their own control were similar to their rate of losses in the great war. Far higher than that of the British or Americans.
