Does anyone feel that putting handicap on minor helps at all? Like say you played on minor handicap for a week or a month, would that make you way better when you put it back to no handicap? Just curious, thanks :D

it would make you worse
i bet you think of this as working out.
example: like if i wear leg weights for a month and take them off i would be able to jump higher and run faster...

it doesnt work like that

Playing on a minor handicap may teach you bad habits, such as shooting enemies more times than you need to.

Better safe then sorry. I always shoot more than I need to just in case of some crap lag or something.

Contrary to the other posters belief...... It can teach you some good habits.

You actually develope better aim. Example; you'll have to adjust your aim in order to continue playing the game, otherwise you die constantly and you wont wanna play. You'll learn to get more head shots because if you don't your dead that much sooner than him.

Second, You will get used to how many shots you can take before you die, you will adapt to it and it will be like minor isn't on. You'll be quicker to hide and not die. So when you turn it off your probability of dying is less.(obviously this only applies if your not a rambo player and have some defensive skills) Does that make sense.

One more thing, this will most likely only have a short term impact on your game. You will obviously adjust back, but hopefully you will retain your aim.

My brother sucks at Halo, and when we play 1 vs 1 I always have to turn Moderate Handicap on, or he starts saying to let him get kills.
But one day, guess what? He said I suck at Halo, and that he's better than me.

Can you say bull-blam!-?
