Why can i not win a hardcore game? Every CTF i get my team either doesnt try, quits after theiy start winning, or the other team is just way better than us.
It seems like i get the crappiest teams there are. I'll win like 1 out of 10 games. Going in with a party is useless because none of my friends are good and the ones that are are either 10 levels above me or never on. Ill occasionaly win a KOTH and assault but not enough to rank up. Im currently a 17 and two days ago i was a 22. Any advice would be nice.

Well my hardcore level is only a 11 and my slayer is a 24 but I have just started playing hardcore last week. SO i am getting used to it but what I like about the people I play with is the communication factor. I won't play with anyone who is quiet. We have to communicate or else I won't play with you. Well hope to see you online today.

MY game strategies.
Assault: defend the bomb carrier/ take the bomb
KOTH: Defend player in hill and get in the hill if they die/prevent opponents from getting into the hill/ go into the hill
Slayer: Stick with the closest teamate or get to highground such as the purple room in midship, or above it.
Ever gametype: Help my team.

I try to do that but it's hard to warm up to an idiot who just assinated you beacuse "you took my sniper whhaaaa whhhaaa" And he gets 1 kill with it and dies because he sucks. Or any other power weapon that you try and have. I have no problem picking up a BR fvor support but not for some whiney little kid that cry's everytime he doesn't get a weapon or get a kill.

You can play with us if you want LOL we can get you to like a 27 or 28 or something. Hardcore is fun, but only if you have a team. Otherwise it's very frustrating.

The only thing i can tell you is get people that you know arent gonna quit out on you and go play some games together get used to how each of you guys play then go into hardcore knowing how each of you play that way you know what to do and you all can be on the same page

I dont want to be a booster or anything. I want to get it legitly. Im going to keep trying. Id advise you message me, not me message you.
If you want to play with me, i need people that are good. Not just my level. Quitters arent the problem.

The thing is, the person who has the most ball/hill time or whatever doesn't necessarily need to have a lot of kills, but it'd be really nice if he did. Whereas the person with the least amount of time will need to have the most kills on the team. Although that idea doesn't apply if your team is full of really good people who can practically get as many kills as one another and share ball time.
There should be one designated ball guy, one semi ball guy, one guy who occasionally gets the ball, and the killer.
For example heres a game I went in by myself:
http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo2.aspx?gameid=730952 245&player=Done%20DL

The problem with my team (if I remember correctly) was that the other teammates didn't pick up the ball as much as they could have.

You would hope so Done. But sometimes my team doesnt go after the ball, hill or bomb at all. I designate my self as the killer and the objective man. I kill to get the ball. I kill to get what i need. It sometimes happens that when my team is under attack and were holding up, we dont pick up the ball thats 3 feet away. That would give us valuable time.
Assault is entirely team based. You need to work together. I do the most i can before i die. Ill throw grenades down telporters(midship) ill grenade ramps(warlock), stuff like that.
Oddball, same as assault.
KOTH. You just need defenders.
Im trying to get some of my friends to follow a plan whenever we do a certain gametype and sometimes it works. I have a great lockout oddball tactic but seeing as i dont have a mic, i cant tell me teamates it every game.

In THC you need to know how to run the objective also. You need to be able to size the situation up and make the best decision as to what route youre going to take in about a second. There is alot of skill required to being a good objective player.

Agreed. I am a good objective player, but i cant take a flag from one base in sanctuary to the other by myself. I tend to do what will ultimately help out. If i can kill the entire enemy team and then grab the objective item, id do that rather than just charge.
If the enemy is charging your base/ cmaping spot because you have the oddball what would you do? Drop the ball and help? Or keep the ball held?
I would attack the enemy because if they died we would have at least 10 more seconds added to our score. If we died then we would have to grab the ball again and probably lose a lot of time.
I plan my actions out as i see the situation better.
