yep. The TrueSkill system counts WINS and LOSSES, not who has most kills.


As a side note to others, I started a second account to see how fast I could get it to 50. So far, i have won 24 out of 29 games in Team Doubles. Right now, im level 44.

To follow my progress, you guys can see it at my other account- Digita1Ph33r

Yes, I know it looks like DigitalPh33r, except it has a ONE for an L, I made it so people would freak out and it would be funny, which it is. Hey, what else to do with a 1 month you got with GTA IV?

Nice advice man. I'll keep it in mind next time I get on and start playing (which is probably later, xD).
Good Luck!

nice post mate.

I have been using the high ground rocket tactic for a while, like you say if your fast it rules.

I will try and tell myself to 'hang back' in lone wolves with the BR, but damm it wont be easy.


yeah, its a great strategy. And yes, holding back does take some serious practice.

Every thousand years there comes a man whose footsteps shake the very foundations of the Earth. Hang your head and pray for mercy.

A lot of these tips seem fairly straightforward and obvious, yet at the same time lots of people don't use them. If you can keep your head straight and think about what you're doing that will be your best instrument on the path to victory.

Anyone who gets their 50 in Team doubles only, is just pathetic. 75% of those with one level 50 has it in double team. But I guess it is easiest, just because the game is smaller, giving you an easier chance for survival. I am a level 50 In doubles, but it wasn't my first.

1st 50- Team Slayer
2nd 50- Hardcore
3rd 50- Team doubles
Currently working on MLG- which im a level 42.

48 Lone wolves- Just got too stressful because having my kill jacked, or having someone AR me in the back is nice -.-, and nobody vetoes stupid stuff like Oddball, or Hill, and swords. It just became the point that i stopped because it was so easy before, thought I would get a 50 easily but takes like 10 games straight 1st, and if you lose ONE, you got to win 4 games straight 1st. -.-

Currently working on MLG- which im a level 42.

Yes, it is the easiest, but I also see it as the gametype which requires the most coordination.

In TS, there's so many 1 on 1 fights that it really doesn't rely to much on teamwork, and its moreso just an all out killfest.

In MLG, Mostly all you need to remember is map callout and callout those who you've gotten to no shields.

In doubles, you only have you and a teammate. You need to work together and stay together, yet be able to have different angles. Going 1 on 1 is rare, as if you go on your own, you'll find yourself going 1 on 2 very frequently. Positions are less fortified with a lower amount of people, so you need to learn to adapt.

Dont get me wrong, I love MLG and TS, and I know it is quicker to level up in TD, but I also find that TD has more strategy to it.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I actually already have my 50 and I still read the guide. I'm going to keep that SMG tip in mind, I think I'll start using it, actually. Thank you. =)

I try to read EVERY guide I come in contact with. I have tons which I have as saved threads, and I read ones I find on google, and I even purchased the one from prohalotips.com

I even have had hand-on lessons from pro's and semi-pro's. You can go to www.h3lessons.com for a good semi-pro, or www.prohalolessons.com to order 1 on 1 lessons from pro's.

it's good hearing all different kinds of tips, and seeing different views and oppinions.

Well, getting "hired help" for a game just isn't my thing. It's a good tip for people who REALLY want a 50, or to go pro you know? But thing is, kicking back, playing social, and getting mad EXP is my thing these days.

How much, do you think, a pro lesson would cost? I mean there has to be a waiting line or something. I'm surprised they actually have those.

the reason I went for it is because I just after a while of reading guides, I eventually got to a point where I wasn't learning much. So what did I do? I tried to get tips from real pros. Yes, it costs money, but if you have some money to blow, and want to improve, then why not lessons by pros?

As for how much it is, they are usually listed. If you go to www.h3lessons.com and tell him SHADOWSTRIKE1 sent you, he'll give you a good deal. Probably like 2 1/2 hours for $20. And you dont have to use all that time at once. If you only have 1/2 hour to play, he you can use the rest whenever.

To get the lessons from www.h3lessons.com, send a message to- iM CoLiN

In the message, type "COLIN LESSONS SHADOWSTRIKE1 sent me" and he'll give you a deal.
