Yeh, its so much more enjoyable with a player who constantly pings enemy, loots fast, defends at the right time, attacks at the right time and has a general 'plan'.
I've won more games with better teammates in harder lobbys that with my friends in what we call 'retard lobbys'
I've been playing FPS games since I was about 7 though, so over 30 years mostly on Amiga and PC. My friends are mainly on PS / Xbox and have been playing FPS games for 5-10 years, it really shows. One guy who is much better who plays on PS, but he's been playing since around 2003 and he played MOHAA with me for 4 years on PC. He's way better at general directional sense, aiming and plan.
You can have the best aim in the world but if you stand on a hill at the wrong point in the game, you're going to get lit up from all directions. Guess building up that general gaming awareness takes years
Throw cheaters into the mix and its hard still - A few times recently ive appeared to have been tracked through walls / ceilings / floors by players even when I'm still and not moving. No UAV/HR scanner or anything, just a quick spin around to look exactly where I am through a wall then run in and gang rape me 3 on 1
