A good indication of skill, or in this case, lack of skill is to see if someone has defeated Combat Blindness. Now, what the heck is combat blindness and what does it have to do with skills in CS? Have you ever spectated someone with less skill than you (Maybe a noob?) and see that they just totally ignored or “didn’t see” an enemy that was right in front of them and their crosshairs? Or maybe just a gun sticking out of a corner or the top of a crouching enemy’s head sticking out of a box? And the noob usually walks away or turns around. And at that point the guy that the noob ignored pops out and blows the noob’s head clean off? Then everyone in the server who was spec'ing the noob just bursts out laughing and calling the noob a ‘NOOB’ and type “How the hell did you not see him?” or “He was right there in front of you - NOOB!” How many times have you seen this happen? Don’t these pure noobs you are spectating just seem to ignore these other filthy noobs? Do they not see them? Clearly that is not true because the filthy noob was defiantly on their screen and everyone else in the server (even you) saw the filthy noob on the NOOB’s screen. So what happened here? This noobness might have happened to you too at on point. The Pig has a term for this and it is called combat blindness. This is mainly contributed to your brain when it is not actively looking for a noob or target for you to kill. You can have an ACE-fighter pilot’s vision and ace the eye exams with 20/20 scores. But still get killed by noobs that are clearly visible on your screen and get a score or 5 kills with 30 deaths from being NOOBED-UP! You see but you don’t see. SO, do you see? You must not only have a clear image of the player on your screen, but have training for your eyes, brain, and movement controls (hand, arm, fingers, etc).
