Naturally little kids should be good at this game. They have so much time on their hands especially during the summer to practice the game. Unlike us adults who have to work all the time and then when we get home we are too tired anyway to think about playing the game.

I'm not trying to decieve you here. I know that it was her playing. I just thought it was amazing.
I played from 1 pm till 5:30 am then went to bed. She was playing with me the whole time. When I got back on at like 2 in the afternoon, she hadn't slept at all. This may be some insight into why she is as good as she is.
Also, why would in this case, a phenominal guy just happen to put a girl on to talk? Through those many hours of playing, she needed to sit next to him and talk. Doesn't make much sense. She is the real deal.

I totally believe you, there's a lot of kids still in grade school who just own in socom. I had a clanmate in socom 2 who was only 10 but she just owned. Any gunfight she got into, she won with her 552sd. She was just unbelieveably accurate and pretty much always got headshotz. Kids who play at around her age probably have better reflexes than teens and adults...or just have a lot more free time

I've witnessed several kids online kicking ***. By far the youngest was a 5 year old. He wasn't the best but the damn kid was pretty good considering he only learned how to walk and talk 4 years before.

I'm not sure why so many on this thread find it impossible to believe that a girl can play Socom well. It's not like it takes any physical abilities to play, which even then, doesn't make it impossible for girls to own. My daughter is 14. She is a competitive swimmer and takes Tae Kwon Do. I've seen her whoop so many boys, in both sports, even as old as 17 and 18. She doesn't play Socom because we don't allow her to. Too many dumb asses and we'd rather have her participating outdoor activities.

Which brings me to what I find most sad about all this... I have a few young kids on my friends list. And no matter when I play, they are always on. What happened to playing baseball or basketball? Or riding BMX bikes or skate boarding with your friends? Hell, how bout just running around creating chaos in your neighborhood, throwing rocks at cars and ringing your neighbors doorbell and then hiding in the bushes?

Sorry guys... just having a parenting moment here.

I agree with that. I don't think it's good when little kids play videogames all the time. But in another way, this is also hanging around with friends.

When I was 11 or 12 or so, Medal of Honor for the Playstation 1 just came out, and I ended up becoming really good at it. I would play against my three older brothers and I just head-shotted them all day with the M1 Garand and the pistol. I wasn't allowed to use automatics because I killed them too easily... :)

Anyways, children have the potential to play much better than adults because they have MUCH more free time, especially in the summer. Also, their brains are more able to adapt to new situations (this is why children can learn a foreign language faster than adults), so they can pick up a new game faster than the average adult. The only real advantage adults have over children in video games is experience, better decision-making skills, and maturity.

Your sister sucks, so every young girl sucks. I see your logic.
She sounds 4.

Well kids being good at videogames is not really a big surprise. I mean they don't work, don't have anyhting else to do except go to school and possibly some chores and do whatever they want at home. They have plenty of time to play videogames so it's really no surprise.
