Assuming you refer to ET:

        It's quite hard (even for me) to cope with the rest because it takes a lot
of practice. The proprition of newbies is small while the game gurus
dedicate their entire day to gaming. Other importany factors: familiarity
with maps, missions, sounds (indicate what's happening out of sight), etc.

        The ability to improve rapidly is what makes it so addictive. From being
swatted like a fly to mastering a domain is a rewarding achievement. Of
course, it's all virtual and you often play with complete strangers.
