I think that there is something amiss here. I was a level 37 in rumble pit. According to H20 I have a 60% win on rumble pit, average 21 kills per game and 9 deaths per game.

Today, I have played 35 games, I have won 1. THats a 2% win. I have 15 kills per game and 14.5 deaths per game. This is an anamoly. I've played FFA in MLG tournaments so there's got to be something wrong.


FFA isn't about 1st place. Win percentage is not as representative as in team games. I usually aim Top3. Obviously, you're just being outplayed, because there are probably a lot of people who are taking this super seriously, thinking they have a shot at Top64, and then there's the kids who loved RP and were high levels in it, and are just treating this as a RP playlist.

Playing FFA in MLG Tournaments means nothing, anyone can do it, you just have to sign up. Plus, these aren't MLG settings, they're horrible settings. Don't woryy about it, this playlist is utter garbage, and so is this tournament.

They should've made it a 4v4 tourney like hardcore of something but only slayer, ctf, and assault. Then, to enter you must have a preset team of 4. You can only play with that team of 4 in the tourney. Make it more mlg...

I wouldn't say 4 on 4, because it would be hard to get together and play. 2 vs. 2 would of been perfect.

Obey.

I agree with you (but not with your language.... >_<) I would have liked objective or team-based games for at least the first round.

Teamwork means staying out of my way.

Actually I just found out why I have been doing so badly. My controller's right analog is broken. I thought I was moving/turning really slowly but figured it was just because I was off-host. But now I can't even turn to the right at all. Boy that really sucks to get your ass kicked in 44 consecutive games then realize your controller is busted.

Thank you Bungie for Halo

The H2 Challenge is the stupidest thing i've even seen. Halo is my favorite game but when i played this gametype i got stuck in 5 straight desolation maps with lvl 30+ people and im level 10 or something. It's a waste of time the map is friggin stupid and the best killjacker is gonna win. Bungie shoulda thought this over more.

Teamwork means staying out of my way.

Yeah the best skilled player probably wins 10% of the time in FFA. It's basically all about jacking kills and avoiding being double or triple teamed which for some reason happens a lot. I was playing earlier (with a broken controller mind you) and two people were running at me side by side shooting me. Like, if one of the guys stopped running and let the other guy keep running, he could have assassinated him. Nope, they were too focused on me. Tunnel vision I guess.

stealing kills is a skill in itself.

And if it bothers you that much then just kill them better (i.e kill them faster, be better, and don't give them a chance to run away).

And like I said earlier, this is about the best single player, not the player who can ride off his better teammates.

FFA is the overall best player.



No, the FFA winner is not the best overall player. He is the best at FFA. Overall=FFA+Teams+1v1. Pistola=/=best MLG player.

If it was the OP with O1/2 and Walshy, vs another pro team, he'd still get rocked. It would be basically a 3v4.

"We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We're evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that."

What I personally find irritating about this, is that the promise of potential prizes brought out all the BXRing jackholes (who of course, aren't actually doing anything wrong...) and other glitchers, and on top of that the super-serious MLG chuck-blam!-s that think they're in an actual war.

Between these two groups of jerks, I'm finding it difficult to enjoy any of the plain old ranked playlists... but the Challenge playlist is just a magnet for those blowhard wankjobs since they have an added incentive to be tools.

he also makes me laugh because he's silly, and gets mad at people for being competetive in a game. This is a game, just like any sport. People want to win just like they want to win poker, football, golf, figure skating, chess lol, it's all to win foreign man. Just chill and watch some skill.

Well you have obviously never played with any good ffa players. So far im a 13 and i think i've won like 11 or 12 out of like 14 games. I havnt checked but its like that. And think of people like "iGotUrPistola" who rapes ffa and just won at meadowlands. Good ffa players usually win. ESPECIALLY against "no names"
