I've played tons of FPS online and I'll tell you map knowledge is not half the battle. Actually understanding the mechanics of the game and actual player skill is the key thing.

You think you've played a ton, but I've played even more.

Anyone who goes into something like R6 Siege blind and think they'll do great because "muh fundamentals" will get absolutely, positively creamed. Why? Because shooting the enemy means nothing if you can't see them coming, or even know where they would be hiding. I've seen newbs try to rush, get spawnpeeked, then rage quit. I'm sure they thought their "skill" would compensate for any lack of map knowledge, when in reality it made them overconfident.

In comparison, I've seen players who have a hard time securing kills still benefit the team, because they know where the enemy is coming from and can relay that info to the rest of the team. They didn't get many kills, but their contribution mattered all the same.
