Ever find yourself having played a few good maps and suddenly... it all falls apart?

Even though tactics might be good - pub games with rotating players, really keep you thinking.

What do ye guys think?

First day with UrT I played 7 hours straight. :rolleyes:
After 1.5-2 hours I really notice how my skill drops, regardless if in Pubs or Wars. But wars usually end after 2 hours. :)
Guess it's because I'm getting tired and somewhat bored :/

'drops'? after 2.5-3 it's like 1:15 score (in skilled TS). Well it may increase if you start the HK+spas hehe. Sometimes even noobSR8 helps mehihi. Taking breaks helps, a lot, but that may be even unhealthier:P you already play too much if you reached 2 a day.

The 'taking breaks' thing probably points to the obvious: if you had at least 2 to 10 minutes break after a map or at most 1 hour, you'd have a very high increase in 'productivity'. Provided those minutes are active exercise or at least standing up and walking. The body just can't function properly in a secluded position for too long. That is if you want to be highly competitive and stuff.

TeamSurvivor - 2 maps when gameplay is fast (or 1 map when most my mates are "don't count on me" sniper)

CTF - 1-2 hours on servers when at least half guys have some idea what to do.

CTF when only me really care about cap - 1-2 maps lonely attacks
playing like that gave me idea to suggest changing "deaths" stats in scoreboard to "frags"
What's reason to punish me for effort and show me that few days newbie dying less than I?
i would like to see that those attacks on heavy camped spots gives a lot of frags.

TDM - until bored or tired, depends on many conditions. I realy like this simple game mode but in UrT its kinda beginners playfield, maybbe 4.2 and some notoriety tricks could change that?

On a good day (no sleep deprivation and not being tired):
~6h: My left hand (for WASD) starts getting feeling numb/stiff, due to all the APM with this one hand. Long before my focus/attention, aiming, tracking and reaction time in the game starts to drop (> 12h). In fact, if i happen to play more than 4 hours in a row, things starts to get into an "auto-pilot" mode.

On a bad day (sleep deprivation or tired):
~2h: Have a hard time to stay focussed. Also aiming, tracking and reaction time are down.

I can normally play two TS maps at 25 min and be pure RAPE! but after that it goes downhill sharply, normally by the 4th map im the worst player in the server.

1-2 hours, then I'm useless. Or bored. They kind of feed each other. The longest I've ever played was around 3-4 hours in 2 stupidly long matches (I think one of them was actually 2 matches in a row). It's also an "in the zone" thing for me, where if I'm interrupted, I can't really get back to owning. I also notice a pattern where I am horrible in the first map (literally /map change, not time, not match maps, just the map changing), but do great in the second map. No clue why. Perhaps it has something to do with subconsciously adjusting to lower/higher ping. Another factor limiting my ability to play multiple maps is that, especially in pubs, I will get nasty FPS drops after 2-3 maps.

I'd hate to be a professional gamer playing 8 hour stretches lol.
