"i am of the opinion that if you are good enough, you will always twitch. its just a matter of having the confidence to land that first round without taking much time to aim"

You are missing the KEY part of what I said. Aiming super fast to land that first hit does not MATTER in games like quake UT huxley. All that matters in these games is ACCURACY, since you have tons of time to aim and you can take a hit and live. Not to mention the shots are more difficult. In these games nobody(not even the pros, sorry) just let their crosshairs wander until its time to fire.

Thats what people dont like about CS, its a game of a couple relatively easy shots, and all that matters is who shoots first, especially if both players are of decent skill.

Why dont people have 100% accuracy if they dont take shots they know will miss?

I will give you this: the value of twitch is that the position of your opponent does not change in the time it takes to aim. In that sense, its great for CS.


zeekgenateer: thats a really hazy definition. Using mine, I could make a strong argument that starcraft is a twitch game as well; I mean, just look at those hyper koreans doing 250 actions per minute, their mouse flying all over. By that token, you have a better definition for a "twitch game" than me.
